as a pentester at a Fortune 500: I think you're on the mark with this assessment. Most of our findings (internally) are "best practices"-tier stuff (make sure to use TLS 1.2, cloud config findings from Wiz, occasionally the o

Respectfully (not trying to be pedantic but helpful): it's "cease" not "seize" in this context :)

Please count me in if these ever gets going -- I'm a relatively recent transplant (moved here 2 years ago) but found it very easy to plug into the local security scene (Black Lodge Research, Harry's on Thursdays, HushCon, etc.) an

RIP. If I may share a memory: I still remember visiting Jungfrau Park with my parents on a vacation to Switzerland back in 2005; as a scifi-leaning kid even back then (4th/5th grade), I had a ton of fun in all the different exhibits. I

Added all of these to my Goodreads -- as an Indian, I had no idea that these books existed. Great article (with some really cool UI choices); I'm looking forward to reading more from this magazine! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! I always love looking at the hand-painted advertisements when I'm back in India. I almost never see it in the cities these days (billboards have taken over), but back in my parents' villages, a lot of older pai

This is a very tangential comment, but I read the short story ( https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8eh2woz05ndfxinbf9vdh/Goldfis... ) and loved it (took me around 15 minutes to read). Went down a bit of a rabbit ho

Good luck Vivek, this looks really nice! I was in Bangalore for the first time this Feb and had a great time. You should check out Mecca cafe, it's thoda grimy but a total vibe.

I genuinely can’t remember having laughed at well written prose in a long time, thanks for sharing [0]. OP is gold too. Takes me back to my high school days when I would have to choke down my laughter as I surreptitiously read Cracked.com a

Come to Harry's on 15th on Thursdays (8:30 pm + ). It's where the local hackers (2600 and DEFCON crowd) usually hang out and socialize. Ask Will (the bartender, who's great) for the hacker crowd and he'll point you in th

https://gwern.net/ is my standard for a great blog experience. Their design philosophy ( https://gwern.net/about ) is right up my alley.

I think that's too granular and is dependent on the apps offering Face ID as a secondary-layer authentication flow -- I think OP is suggesting an entirely different user profile that doesn't even have the same applications that th

I just wanted to add that your writing style is wonderful and that this was a pleasure to read. Incidentally, I work in pentesting, and one of my colleagues has Type 1 Diabetes; your overview of it and its resultant complexities really made

Hi, I took some time to use Caido. I really like it, especially the ability to switch between projects. I also thought the UX that introduces users to the application was well-done. Tbf, I have years of experience with Burp, but I think any

this actually feels like a lightweight feature-rich wrapper, unlike Burp (which I really love btw, not hating on it) which can cause my computer to slow down noticeably with extensions loaded. This is an unfair comparison though, because I

Hi, just wanted to say that I walked through this and it's really neat. I'm running it all through WSL on a reasonably powerful laptop (ASUS G14) and performance has been buttery so far. I especially want to commend you on the cle

Interesting, wasn't aware that there were Burp alternatives being worked on. I'm going to play with both of these to see how they compare. Thanks to both you and OP for sharing!

This is exactly how I feel, and you put it very well. The one nice thing (to be fair, there's probably others but I haven't used it very long) about Win 11 is that your external monitor remembers your exact window configuration at

AVP 1 is actually one of my guiltiest pleasures :) -- it scratches a lot of my scifi-horror itches (mysterious originator civilization that was seeded with ideas like architecture and religion by aliens, big group of humans with weapons bei

One of my favorite movies not just because it's scifi horror, but because of the excellent worldbuilding. Nothing is really spoonfed to us as an audience; everything just takes place in a universe, where we have to put together the wor

It feels like this approach would constrain you from planting in an organic/spontaneous manner; you'd have to plant stuff to make sure it lines up with the cables above right? Following the other comment re: power being king, what

I think this is a kneejerk take -- the study of literature generally encompasses an intersection of the study of the society, culture, economy, history that produced that literature. In other words, if you study Medieval English Literature,

Sorry, not sure why you expanded on this particular event. Could you explain if I missed something? :)
