hi 👋.
I break stuff sometimes.
All opinions are my own.

ACUCyS Jingle Shells CTF was hosted successfully in the last weekend. After all the hours we put in as a team, we managed to get zero downtime with 150+ players. We also managed over a 100 support tickets. Overall, this was a really fun experience!

And sometimes, people will come into your life and leave that scar as you deserve - thus, giving you the opportunity to change and improve. Use it wisely.

[Hirusha Adikari @hirushaadi]

People rarely change just because they want to. Real change shows up after life hits hard enough to leave a scar.

@OSINTindustries At the end of the day, @Ikman_lk cannot do much to mitigate these types of attacks from scammers. Sadly, it's the end user that should be careful.

[Hirusha Adikari @hirushaadi]

A while ago, I posted an advertisement on @Ikman_lk to sell one of my Cameras. I was contacted by a scammer who claimed to be working in Dubai via a +237 phone number (based in Cameroon) in WhatsApp. To discover more information, I engaged with him.

This happened back in the September of 2024. I ran this email ([email protected]) through @OSINTindustries today and discovered that this email address is still being used actively.

Thanks, @OpnBrdrsAdvct, for notifying me

This is exactly what has not happened and it won't.

The reason is that skilled people wield the tools better. Always have and always will.

Shit coders produce shit code with AI. But great coders can now produce better, cleaner, more organized, more tested and more documented code faster.

Someone with no artistic skills can produce something fast on Canva and it is often good enough but it has not changed the price of high end commercial and ad work and website work because the best companies want to stand out and because the tools are not magic.

If you don't know whether something looks good and pleasing to the eye, because you never developed that skill, then you can't verify the output of the AI so it doesn't matter. You can't tell if it is award winning or absolute garbage that no one will respond to.

These kinds of predictions fail over and over because reality is always more complex than changing a few variables and leaving all the other variables unchanged.

This is why you don't share just everything on the web.

The vid you see here must be one of the most effective AI awareness videos.

Looks to me like a good alternative to Winapps - which is something that most beginners find very hard to setup and configure!

Told you guys I hacked a smoothie machine.
