Less than a week to make major strides with Navier–Stokes. 🤯 We've spent decades asking what computers can't efficiently compute. What happens when the computers start answering that question?

IANAM (I am not a mathematician) but... if @OpenAI or @anthropic.com target P=NP next, things could get really interesting. A proof that P=NP would have enormous implications for cryptography - breaking computational assumptions that even quantum-resistant crypto is designed around.

I'm speaking at @blueteamcon.com 2026 in Chicago. "Too Big To Review" - what happens to AppSec when AI turns your engineering team into a 10x output machine and your review capacity stays the same. Spoiler: hiring more security engineers isn't the answer. blueteamcon.com

"Since August 28th, we have been training a new internal model that has exhibited unprecedented performance in our benchmarks, including mathematics." 🤯 It took TEN DAYS to solve a millennium problem. This is AGI in the making, wow. openai.com/index/navier...

Check out the open letter from OpenAI plus 100+ firms warning that AI models will soon enable far more sophisticated cyberattacks. A short "defenders' window" exists to fix vulnerabilities and arm defenders with AI tools before that happens. openai.com/collective-c...

I vibed a fun higher/lower on CVE severities, check it out!

I scored 2910 on Patch or Panic and ranked 13 CVEs correctly, the vulnerability severity game by @pixee.ai. Can you beat me? cve.wiki/s/98cab768ee... cve.wiki

My absolute favorite Christopher Walken role of all time. youtube.com/watch?v=7qJu... Poolhall Junkies. Underrated movie. I haven't seen it in a while, but randomly thought of this scene today. Go give it a watch if you haven't seen it.

🚂 Speaking at Hobocon this July, a hacker conference on a moving train. "All Aboard IDOR Express" - how when submitting a CFP, I found an IDOR showing me all of the security conference's submissions. OWASP A01. 🚂 July 17–18, KC ↔ Chicago. www.hobocon.com Nothing like a captive audience.

My talk "Too Big to Review" was just accepted at @blueteamcon.com 2026 🎉 September 12th in Chicago - come hear how we scaled AppSec at AWS without scaling the team. #AppSec #BlueTeamCon

The night of October 20th, I woke up ice-cold. My bed had cooled all the way to 55° F and I couldn't adjust it at all. The irony: this was due to an AWS failure. Read more about removing my bed's cloud dependency. blog.adamschaal.com/posts/2025-1...

I dockerized a proof-of-concept for CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell) here - github.com/clevernyyyy/... Original POC by github.com/msanft.

Super excited for the World Cup draw on Friday. ⚽️ 🥅 Can't wait to see what matchups we can attend!

Writing is something I'm always challenging myself to be better at. This fall, my friend @themattvirus.bsky.social and I were pleased to attend BruCON, a security conference in Belgium and I've finally managed to put together my BruCON review: blog.adamschaal.com/posts/2025-1...

I always appreciate the little details in the DEF CON 402 ornaments from @tvidas.bsky.social like this one from 2020. Hard to believe how long our community has been together, really thankful for the friends I've made in dc402.org. ⚡ talks in December!

Yes, @themattvirus.bsky.social and I visited the Louvre on our trip to BruCON. Yes, we cased the jewels, and noted that their cameras were obsolete [1] for our talk, but no, we did not steal them. [1] www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Speaking at BruCON in t-minus 12 hours with @themattvirus.bsky.social. We've prepared as much as we can with waffles, beer, and club mate, we are almost fully Belgian now. 🇧🇪

Bluesky vs Twitter on my pixel fold.

At AWS, our GenAI development is moving at 🚀 warp speed. With new tools popping up faster than browser tabs in my macbook, my team created Nebula – a system to track all our GenAI initiatives. Today, we just launched an AI assistant to help upload new tools to Nebula tracker.

Thrilled to share that @themattvirus.bsky.social and I are speaking at BruCON this year! The lineup is 🔥 so far and we can't wait to reconnect with our amazing European hacking friends. Always a highlight to be among that fantastic community. www.brucon.org

🎯NIST's updated security guidelines finally hit the mark. 1. No more forced password changes 2. Longer passwords beat complexity rules 3. Security responsibility shifts to providers where it belongs. Common sense security FTW. pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp8...

For 311 day, don't forget to kick it Omaha Stylee and get your tickets to @kernelcon.bsky.social! youtu.be/rokq0CIfXXk?... kernelcon.org

Kernelcon Agenda is LIVE! kernelcon.org/agenda Room block closes on March 7th, please go get your rooms and tickets now.

🤦‍♂️ What is going on? therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

I hate pointing out flaws in a system and the subsequent team expecting my team to own the outcome of escalating for a fix. Ownership is maybe the most important trait of a team leader.

More details on kernelcon.org/robo-race. There might be some custom swag for participants who bring their own robot for the competition!

This is really exciting... I can't wait to see what our community comes up with. Prizes for fastest and best dressed robot! And for the robo-curious we will have our own to play with.

Had a ton of fun speaking at Shmoocon this year, I really enjoyed this con and wish the best for Heidi, Bruce, and the volunteers in future endeavors!

I'm loving my Rivian so far. I picked up the Tri-motor in Storm Blue. If you're interested in an EV, especially one not produced by Elon, we each get $750 if you use my referral code. code: ADAM1508922 Now that they've teamed up with VW, I think they'll be even more popular. #rivian

Wow, this is crazy. A "researcher" uses an LLM to find a vulnerability in curl that is COMPLETELY hallucinated. What a waste of time. hackerone.com/reports/2199...

Had a great time in Germany with @themattvirus.bsky.social speaking at Chaos Communication Camp. I would love to come back in four years!

My wife and I every time I have an upcoming talk. Looking forward to #cccamp23!

Yay, @themattvirus.bsky.social and I just had our talk accepted to #cccamp23 in Germany. On the hunt for tickets now, but sounds like a ton of fun!

Happy to finally join blue sky. Hopeful for potential, but kind of hedging bets all over right now.
