I feel like @benjedwards.com has written one of the best explanations of how AI coding agents work. The article breaks it down into easy to understand terms that developers new to agents can really grok.

ALWAYS validate proof-of-concept exploit code before you use it.

What do I do on the weekend? I install Game of Active Directory Ninja Hacker Academy on AWS of course! 😂

I'm running through the install so I can learn more about the range deployment on cloud services. Always be learning something new. @orangecyberdefense.bsky.social

Seeking video camera advice for content creation.

I've gotten back to creating tutorial & teaching videos on YouTube. Currently using a Brio MX but interested in the @elgato Facecam 4K. It looks to offer a lot more software features.

Has anyone used it & can give their thoughts?

After getting a scam email saying someone tried to access my Twitter account, I decided to look into it a little. The first of many new videos to come as I work to share more information with the community.

Picked up this very cool @crowdstrike.com t-shirt for my son and the action figure that goes with it. He’s going to love it.

@crowdstrike.com says they’re seeing threat actors are targeting GenAI workloads to try poison the models. The inherent trust being built as we continue to use AI systems will lead to threat actors becoming an insider threat.

Walking back to my room I passed the Google Cloud Security party at Blackhat and it looked jumping. Almost considered social engineering my way in. 😈😈

Great analysis by @SentinelOne on a threat actor working out of Vietnam to target users in 62 countries.

Starts with a phishing campaign that leads to DLL sideloading of legitimate and signed software, including Office 2013, for persistence.

This absolutely disgusting and a pathetic way of taking advantage of immigrants by this producer.
