Building serverless applications in AWS to support Cisco Catalyst, Meraki, ISE, DNAC and Webex infrastructure.

Ever pitched a Wordle at an LLM? I tried to get Claude (Sonnet 4) and Grok to solve this. Answered any questions they asked as helpfully as I could. Both failed by miles.

If AWS Amplify isn’t the worst documented AWS Service, I dread to think what else is out there.

@John_Capobianco Hi John,

Is it ‘actually’ vulnerable, or just ‘possibly’?

I tried doing this myself via RADKit, LLM and OpenVuln API, but the PSIRTs are so unstructured I couldn’t get it working reliably enough for the the more subjective ’only vulnerable if x,y,z things configured’ cases.

@testbot1972 @ValerieCla29754 @Apple A security feature most people never used and haven’t enabled, got removed by Apple because the UK Gov tried to get them to add a backdoor, and they refused.

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

Ouch!

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

@John_Capobianco Ah ok, just getting in to this… powerful!

Going back to your PCAP… you literally feeding it a ‘real’ PCAP file, or some exported text-only kinda thing?

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

@John_Capobianco Nice.. cheers.

Have you done much with tooling? So you can break out of the default workflow, prompt something to pull in some custom/specific data, then return back to the workflow.

This didn’t age well 😅 Figured I’d have a bash at the 1:00 to see how far off I am… nice!

1:41.6 pace now down to 1:38.6

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

My aim is to beat all my old records from a couple of years ago… getting there! The remaining 5K one will be easy, but the 1:00 will be tough.

Anyone going to the AWS AI day in London tomorrow?

‘Always use VPN on public WiFi’ is such a dumb take.

I’d rather trust TLS 1.3, DoH, WPA2 PSK / WPA3 OWE, Apple Private Relay, etc. Some random VPN is mostly just adding risk IMO.

@mrTeigen @Mac_WiFi @jamesgarringer @CWNP 😂

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

@mrTeigen @jamesgarringer @CWNP Yea.. slumming it with my 16 Pro! 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

@I_Am_Over_It Booted phone without any imports at all, got it to do a software update, reboot, then eventually got it going after a few more reboots & failed attempts. All very un-Apple-like! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Up and running fine now…

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

Bought an iPhone 16Pro - XR is pretty old now - worst iPhone upgrade experience to date :-( eSIM migration was fine, but can’t login to iCloud, can’t migrate apps from old phone… stuck! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

@mrTeigen @bentzen_trond @TPLINK Ah, they the ones that dgaf about even DFS? 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

6GHz is such a poor implementation over here. It will just end up as congested as 2.4 & 5 over here I’m sure :-(

[Richard Atkin @UKRichA]

@bentzen_trond @mrTeigen 320MHz in EU should be banned anyway, so no issue ;-p It’s just greedy!
