Started in infosec, co-authored the kill chain paper, dabbled in countering influence operations at Meta, and now back to infosec. Lover of command line, python, and rust.
Registering for BSides Pyongyang reminded me of the background investigator who thought they caught me fabricating something because I listed “Defence Workshop” on my travel reasons. “We noticed you misspelled defense…”
Anyway, good luck to all presenters!

uv+just for testing multiple Python versions
In the old days we relied on tox and nox to test a Python project against multiple Python versions, now we can lean on uv+just. For most projects this keeps our configuration straightforward and reduces dependencies.

There is a bottomless pit of money out there for journalists willing to speak untruths to power. If you’re willing to soothe billionaires by telling them everything they want to hear, and telling them all of the criticism they face is misguided, the world is your oyster.

I've been working on a new fuzzy search file picker for Toad (my terminal AI interface).
It is similar to the other terminal based agentic coding tools, but I want to address a few UX issues, and hopefully make it prettier in the process!

One massively good reason for aiding Ukraine is it created a market for surplus GWOT gear that otherwise was waiting for a Republican President to use internally. An MRAP can either save six Ukrainians from an artillery shell or it can roll over on Route 340 killing 3 deputies & a graffiti suspect.
