Coops

Vulnerability researcher and Security engineer for a major tech firm. Mostly spending my time knee deep in the kernel or some system service

@ohunt Congrats - I didn’t even get past signing up, as the app didn’t integrate with iOS‘s keychain

Is everyone heading back to MySpace. I feel like in the age of TikTok the auto playing music might be wildly more acceptable

[Coops @Lord_Coops]

@lazytyped @spoofyroot Mitigations don’t “make it harder” in amorphous way; they instead prevent exploration of specific classes of bug, require an attacker leverage more bugs of different classes etc

All I ask is for one, maybe two instructions; and I can give you everything

Remember the metaverse...of 1994?

28 years ago, VRML brought interlinked 3D virtual worlds to the web for the first time. It was like HTML for virtual reality

I wrote about the heady promises of VRML (and why it failed to take off) for @howtogeek:

I’m trying to imagine the alt universe where Henry Ford tweets bad takes on how to settle peace Europe, and is subtweeted by de Gaulle (with a poll) and members of Hitler’s government (with snark).

Why is anyone wasting their breath arguing that a "mermaid shouldn't be black" when instead you could be talking about the time Hans Christian Andersen showed up as a guest at Charles Dickens's house and absolutely ruined his life for a month straight

@mikeash I think it just means I’m poorer

[Coops @Lord_Coops]

11hr flight; “Recovery” by @rosebettsmusic got stuck in my head just before take off, so I had no choice but to listen to it on repeat for about 8hrs. Totally normal behaviour right … right?!

hoping to encourage tourism, Scotland placed a couple of Shetland ponies in sweaters and it might be the best promotional campaign ever

I’ve not played #dnd in a looong time, but if I did, I’d want a “Gastrointestinal spell”. Cast one way; monsters shit their guts/curl up inoperable due to stomach cramps/instantly die from diarrhea; cast another, creates clouds of “defensive” nauseous gas around a player

@__apf__ Are you sure the dog isn’t working on a plan to secure space in the tree house?

[Coops @Lord_Coops]

@lazytyped @JohnKennedyEsq No idea what you mean 🙄

[Coops @Lord_Coops]

Is there an award for “worst banking experience”; because @HSBC_UK have consistently underperformed my very low expectations and really do deserve a nomination. It’s like banking is a side hustle for them.

I probably shouldn't have left a food review asking if one of the Chef's ancestors had been murdered by a Salmon, and that's why I got an overcooked - hate filled meal. Sure, avenge your elders, just not at $30 a go. Stick to Chicken, buddy.

[Coops @Lord_Coops]

@argvee I would love to see you on @sesamestreet talking about Cyber Security. “Count Von Coubt” could do a piece on failed password attempts. You could explain Elmo doesn’t need to be scared of Malware and I bet Bert would want to talk about Zero days

[Ash Tudor @AshTudor888]

I just watched The Princess Bride for the first time.

I get it, guys. I get it.

@EatinLikeReptar The code is here, but I’ve not tried it in many many years. I suspect it’s rotted away - still useful though if you want to know how it worked: https://t.co/tdgGADRGcw

Dear Friends - just a small reminder that if you can give blood - PLEASE DO. Having had 2 blood transfusions this week - I am beyond grateful to the wonderful person(s) who had the same blood type as me. Sign up & donate! #donateblood (I'm much better BTW)
