Our own Jesse D’Aguanno (@0x30n) delivered his talk “Can’t Touch This: Attacking Fingerprint Systems from Sensor to OS” at Black Hat USA this week!
Jesse detailed his journey researching and attacking fingerprint authentication across Linux, Windows, and Apple platforms.
I’ll be speaking @BlackHatEvents on Thursday: Can’t Touch This: Attacking Fingerprint Systems from Sensor to OS
Come hear about the current state of biometric security across Linux, Windows, and Apple platforms and my journey reverse engineering hardware, firmware, Windows drivers, protocols, Apple userland, kernel, and SEP
Apple credited me today for CVE-2026-64747, a vulnerability in AVEVideoEncoder affecting macOS/iOS. It earned a $60K accelerated bounty after I captured an Apple Target Flag.
Write-up coming soon.
Last year for @blackwinghq's 20th anniversary party in Vegas during Black Hat and DEF CON, the invites came with a little puzzle I put together: a floppy with a custom bootloader and a USB stick with extras.

Everyone who attended our @blackwinghq anniversary party received a bootable 3.5” floppy 💾 with a fun little puzzle in a custom bootloader I made.
I’ll post the floppy image if anyone’s interested.
1/11: Another day, another #backdoor! Our team started digging deep into the #macOS#malware sample (yet undetected on VirusTotal) shared by @bruce_k3tta, and surprisingly found out that it has the ability to execute arbitrary commands sent from C2 and capture screenshots.
We’ve been thinking about putting on some training around Apple vuln research and exploitation (stay tuned @blackwinghq). In that spirit, @ausernamedjosh created a tool to play with libmalloc interactively to better understand its internals. Check out his new blog here: https://t.co/39iowiujKO
