Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

Malware family identification is hard, especially when samples are packed, encrypted or poorly classified. FlowCarp can help identify the correct malware family and reduce alert overlap. netresec.com?b=2692109

Armeijasta pitäisi tuoda työelämään kuntoisuuslomat. Ylimääräinen vapaapäivä olisi hieno palkkio kaikenlaisesta venymisestä ja keskimääräistä paremmasta suoriutumisesta. www.hs.fi/suomi/art-20...

We're hiring a new product security lead for Wikipedia! It's a new lead PM role that would steer our security engineering team and how we go about this work here at the Wikimedia Foundation. AND: it's fully remote, and open in a good number of countries. job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jo...

IMO, the most interesting thing to come out of #HackerSummerCamp is that no one should be using AI to patch vulns 1password.com/blog/why-ai-...

They did it, those sons of bitches actually managed to get them in a row.

Google Earth, a tool often used as a source of satellite imagery to verify photos and videos, has added a feature that allows you to alter satellite imagery with AI, for reasons. blog.google/products-and...

Airbus is moving 900 critical apps off AWS to a French cloud provider. Not because American tech is bad. Because American law can demand access to it anywhere. Europe's sovereignty problem just became Europe's vendor opportunity. https://thenextweb.com/news/airbus-scaleway-aws-sovereign-cloud

Mies on taistellut Ukrainassa, mutta Kelan kanssa taistelu on silti liikaa www.hs.fi/maailma/art-...

Muistatteko DOGEn, siis Elon Muskin johtaman viraston jossa pikkuelonit saksivat kaikkea tutkimusta mikä kuulosti heidän korviin sellaiselta joka voi tuottaa ikäviä tuloksia. Pikkasen samanlaiset vibat tässä

There are only two file formats: disguised zips and renamed text files. JSON? Text. EPUB? Zip. CSV? Text. EXE? Zip. SVG? Text. DOCX? Zip. ICS? Text. APK? Zip.

I visited the Helsinki Library and it has a frigg'n makerspace in the middle of it! Laster cutters, 3D printers, Vinyl cutters, all for nearly free. It also has "video game rooms", general meeting rooms, 2 cafes and a restaurant! It's astounding what you can have if you fund public works.

This is such a cool explosion. Like if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to explode, do it like this.

"Focus on high priority threats" sounds obvious. I'm not sure it is. New post on why unstructured prioritization is its own kind of risk, and what to do about it. shostack.org/blog/focus-o...

Remember when everyone was saying AI would replace/displace script writers and prose authors, and it was all over the news...then suddenly nobody was talking about it and it never happened? Here's part one of why...and why that was deliberate. jmichaelstraczynski.substack.com/p/silence-wh...

Don't worry I shaved the beard.

Listening to infosec people freak out over Mythos is so tiring. Like, bro, your local water treatment plant runs Windows XP, your mobile provider's hardware is older than you are, and the protocol that routes internet traffic is secured by everyone just agreeing that hijacking it would be uncool.

"Tämä riski tunnistettiin jo eduskunta­käsittelyvaiheessa, mutta muutosta opiskelijan velvollisuuksiin ei tullut, vaikka olimme opiskelijoiden tilanteesta huolissamme" Aika moniin asioihin ei ole tullut valitettavasti muutosta, vaikka olen ollut niistä huolissani. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...

Guess how many companies have gone out of business because of a cybersecurity incident since 2001. Then check this out.

I'm blockading the strait of Hormuz and so's my wife

Good example of the particle-wave aspect of LLMs: These tools can allow you to do amazing things very quickly, but they are often the wrong things. Something is still missing. annaecook.com/writing/2026...

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Ihmiset, jotka lumoutuvat vakuuttavan kuuloisesta, mutta merkityksettömästä kielestä: - kyseenalaistavat vähemmän omia käsityksiä - ongelmanratkaisukyky on heikompi - tunnistavat huonommin loogisia ristiriitoja Nimenomainen ongelma myös tekoälyn kanssa. www.hs.fi/visio/art-20...

Jos haluat tietää, miten korkea talo on rakenteilla, katso miten syvälle perusta kaivetaan. Jos haluat tietää, miten korkealle joku tähtää, katso miten syvälle hän perusasiat takoo. Mitä syvemmät juuret, sitä korkeammalle voi kurottaa. Kaivelua ja kurottelua tähänkin päivään😘

NEW: Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. A program created to protect the government against cyber threats authorized a sprawling Microsoft cloud product, despite the company’s inability to fully explain how it protects sensitive data.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

The new AirTags 2 just arrived! Time to take them apart 🧵

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Yesterday I published an analysis on the tanker MARINERA arguing that this was not a routine sanctions evasion case and not a simple oil shipment problem because the behavior around this vessel did not fit commercial logic and instead tracked with mission logic. 1/9
