Using Python's machine learning library, I whipped up a quick election model. I ran the model 40,000 times, and in each simulation, the string "hello world!" printed on the screen and nothing else.

[Rajiv Ranjan Singh @CyberMuster]

Presented a novel methodology of improving protocol specifications by modelling attacks, joint work with Jose Moreira, @TomChothia, and @MarkDRyan "Modelling of Attacks on 802.11 4-way Handshake and Analysis of Security Properties" at STM2020 @ESORICS2020 https://t.co/n5xNqXrSTa

@gianluca_string Always include a live demo. Also, there should be a non-trivial chance that the demo will go horribly wrong, this helps keep students engaged.

@01CGAT Yes, I'm pretty sure I have the code somewhere, I'll DM you.

Some *very* exciting news! 🥁
We are so incredibly proud to announce that we have won the @tryhackme Women in Security prize, sponsored by @CTXIS ! It's so great to see the number of women growing in our hacking club!

We made a little video about our CTF on Saturday!

@bravo_fighter NXP's Proximity Check, on their DESFire smart cards, is the only widely implemented DB protocol I know of. 3db Access (https://t.co/QS7WUKZ3ly) also seem to be working on some interesting stuff. I don't know if either does demo kits.

[Tom Chothia @TomChothia]

Today I'll present our Phishing Teaching Framework at #ASE18. This VM lets students try out spear phishing attacks against a simulated company https://t.co/zjIMxf9FB2

[Chris M Stone @cmcmstone]

@TomChothia @halfdoof I know you'd do the same for me
