I do stuff. I go places. I write really boring bio's. I mostly use this account to follow Information Security news. I tweet very occasionally.

4. The Technological Republic by Alexander Karp & Nicholas Zamiska
Palantir’s co-founder gets philosophical: surveillance, freedom, responsibility, and the moral cost of software. Not just a corporate memoir—more like a manifesto.

3. This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends by Nicole Perlroth
An exposé on the global cyberweapons market. Raw, urgent, and unsettling. If you're in security, you already know a lot of this - but this still hits hard

You have to understand that back in my day, it was possible to make a career out of sending a lot of AAAAAAs to computer programs

I taught a killer training of glibc malloc heap exploitation for several years. After some effort, the content is now open source and mostly ready to consume! Half of the videos are posted for the course. 🔥

Happy New Year everyone!

2025 is a very interesting number:

(a) It is the square of the sum of the first nine numbers:

( 1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 )^2 = 45 ^2 = 2025

(b) It is the sum of the first 45 odd numbers:

1 +3 +5 +7 +9 +....+ 87 + 89 = 2025

(c) Its a Harshad/Niven number => divisible by the sum of its digits.

For 2025:

The sum of its digits is 2+0+2+5 =9
And indeed, 2025÷9 = 225

(d) It is also the product of two perfect squares

2025 = 25 x 81 = 5^2 x 9^2

Most importantly, I hope this is a year great for you and for SquareX! :-)
