In addition to what Will posted, published reports for blockchain projects tend to be skewed compared to our other groups. Blockchain clients tend to want to publish the report, but that isn't true for our business lines/projects&

At my previous job we used GCP and went through so much effort/tooling to try to fix IAM. We definitely would have given this tool a spin. Ignore the HN flashmob. Another use case you might run in to as you talk with more clients is fi

This is as meta as it gets, but I learned what it sounds like when smart sounding, but closed minded people try to shut down an idea. Looking over all the old YC projects that ended up being wildly successful, but their HN threads were full

do you feel the same way about Tor? If 99% of Tor's volume is helping laundering international drug trade money, distributing CSAM, etc, should it be demonized as well?

Seriously. I don't think the researcher realizes how many people try to bypass hackerone because H1 would have flagged their finding as invalid. Using h1 isn't about bug bounties, it's about not having to spend a 1-2 of your

RE the first point: you don't have to store/host 100% of the data, content can be blocklisted based on hash or other attributes so your node doesn't replicate or retransmit it. The censorship resistant claim assumes there&#x2

You have no idea what you're talking about. Botnets are almost entirely ISP router/modem combo devices. Hashcat was proposed over 20 years ago. You really think out of all the tens of thousands of security engineers working on thi
