I always appreciate the little details in the DEF CON 402 ornaments from @tvidas.bsky.social like this one from 2020. Hard to believe how long our community has been together, really thankful for the friends I've made in dc402.org. ⚡ talks in December!

Yes, @themattvirus.bsky.social and I visited the Louvre on our trip to BruCON. Yes, we cased the jewels, and noted that their cameras were obsolete [1] for our talk, but no, we did not steal them.

At AWS, our GenAI development is moving at 🚀 warp speed. With new tools popping up faster than browser tabs in my macbook, my team created Nebula – a system to track all our GenAI initiatives.
Today, we just launched an AI assistant to help upload new tools to Nebula tracker.

🎯NIST's updated security guidelines finally hit the mark.
1. No more forced password changes
2. Longer passwords beat complexity rules
3. Security responsibility shifts to providers where it belongs.
Common sense security FTW.

However, our eventzilla admin page was up, and we could access our event through that site, hmm?

I hate pointing out flaws in a system and the subsequent team expecting my team to own the outcome of escalating for a fix.
Ownership is maybe the most important trait of a team leader.

I'm loving my Rivian so far. I picked up the Tri-motor in Storm Blue.
If you're interested in an EV, especially one not produced by Elon, we each get $750 if you use my referral code.

Now that they've teamed up with VW, I think they'll be even more popular.

Wow, this is crazy. A "researcher" uses an LLM to find a vulnerability in curl that is COMPLETELY hallucinated. What a waste of time.
