Have a wild Sunday idea to geek out with AI.

Multiple people used Claude/Codex to reverse engineer a game (banteg did Crimsonland and ccccjjjjeeee did SimCity). Point proven. Let's up the difficulty.

Lets see if AI can split open a proprietary radio protocol! Starting now 😅

It’s just baffling to see the OpenClaw author acknowledge how insecure his AI agents are, but then just hand-wave it away with “it’s industrywide unsolved”. Like, holy shit, that is specifically the reason nobody released such a thing until now.

Started working on this right after Christmas. As any senior software engineer, my two wook™ estimate was spot on... 😅

But it's out of my system now and Dark Bio is fully quantum secure (I know, famous last words)! 🥳

Who needs a data engineer when you have AI 😅

Told Opus 4.6 to scan my crypto libs and find security vulns. It reported mostly false positives.

But it also found a cute crasher in CBOR decoding. Malicious inputs could trigger a stack overflow in my Rust code. +1 for Claude :)

Yesterday I’ve found a nifty vulnerability in LLM agents.

Put the best in class model from OpenAI to protect something.

Then you grind it in parallel. Say you can’t get through. But the grinding hits your API call limits and OpenAI downgrades your model.

Boom, you’re in. 🫠

Leaky LLMs: Accident or Nature?

I've just published a new blog post about an LLM data exfiltration challenge; and how I got to side channel, jailbreak and extract the secret the LLM was meant to protect.

Definitely not what I woke up to do today 😅 Shoutout to Ech0 for organising the challenge.

A friend shared this today. It's effin long at 90 mins, but I think it's a very nice video. It discusses generative AI in the music industry, which may or may not be up your alley, but I think it's worth a watch even just for the philosophical aspects.

I would like to shout out to the Parkside engineers for their careful and responsible implementation of USB-C standards.

I think this is what the industry would call a “fire hazard”.

I wanted to design an over-voltage protection mechanism for the Arks. Picked out the components, but didn't want to design the wiring schema manually.

Asked ChatGPT to do it. Ugh, tons of text, extra components, etc. Probably works, but so hard to digest.

Asked Gemini... damn🤯

My goal with the Dark Bio Ark was to protect sensitive data from unintended access… but seems with all the AI agent crap everyone is doing, that “Ark” name starts to be a premonition instead of an accidental choice. 🥲

"We didn't do it because it was easy. We did it because we thought it would be easy."

Pre-quantum cryptography removed from the Dark Bio Ark firmware (apart of secure boot, can't change the chip) 😎

Proof of concept Dark Bio login page. I mean, it works, just wondering if I geeked out too hard on this one... 😋

You need to view it high res, otherwise the details will get lost.

You have no excuse any more for not using post-quantum cryptography. I have you covered on desktop, cloud, mobile and web. 🤓 #rust #golang #flutter #typescript

I think I need an intervention...

Saturday morning announce:

Just published the Dark Bio #flutter post-quantum cryptography package. It is an FFI wrapper around the #rust crate, with a nice #dart API and neat pub dev packaging.

TL;DR: post-quantum cryptography on #android and #ios!

Seems I have a new post-quantum toy ;) Any guesses?

I've enabled Ad supported mode in AmpCode. Took me literally 30 seconds to disable it back out and rather pay.

It changes ads right above your text box every 10-15 seconds. It's impossible to concentrate on your trail of thought with the thing constantly popping. Screw that.

Happy to announce that I've finally published / tagged the Dark Bio post-quantum cryptography packages for both #rust and #golang.

I'm certain there will be tiny tweaks here and there, but I'll try to commit to semantic versioning going forward (within v0 expectations!).

Njoy 🤓

Hey @cloudflare.social, can I have a feature request? (I opened a ticket, nobody answered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

Since we're entering a post-quantum world. Could we have some limits raised globally? Env var sizes from 4KB to 8KB. WS attachments from 2KB to 4KB.

Why? To fit PQ certs and pubkeys.
January 22, 2026 at 9:10 AM
On the upside,
@dark.bio
now has post-quantum firmware update flows! 🥳

On the down side:

Been working insanely much on the Dark Bio #Rust and #golang crypto libraries over the past many weeks. One of the thorniest issues was actually the malleability of Go's decoders. Go is just too lax all over the place. 🧵
