I have quite a few projects I'm super excited to publish in the coming weeks. But honestly, the main thing that's consuming my brain cycles story-wise is a year-end piece about just how badly this administration has fscked our cybers in so many ways.

This won't be a polemical soliloquy. I […]

I have Medicare for the time in my life.

I can get all the small things I could never get fixed… fixed. I don’t ever have to hoard medicine or give myself stitches again.
I have no idea what happens now. My plans only went to Tuesday. Maybe I do the reserves again, get another degree. I don’t know.

I've been involved in IP network protocol implementation since 1991, and I no longer believe I know what the intent is.

I have a friend who prefers to stay anonymous who gives this amazing talk in non US (but allied) countries about how long their internet will -really- function if they lose all comms with American data centers and it’s… phew. It’s a thing. Some resilient ones will last a few weeks before […]

Good morning to the 1/16 of the internet that’s still functioning mostly as intended.

I'm not a parent, but there are a lot of parents out there I really want to fight over how they push their kids into impossible corners. Today, that can be pushing them into cybersecurity when they don't want to go, and there aren't enough jobs […]

GenAI is a giant search engine, and it doesn’t do more for malware than a slightly shittier Google would. Malware has been using polymorphism since I didn’t have grey hair and drank less. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Yeah so - I get a meal delivery subscription box and today there was a mistake in delivery and it showed up while I was at work at about 2p. I cut my losses. I live in a totally exposed building in the Melbourne inner suburbs.

Guess what was STILL THERE at 7:30?

Even as a digital forensic investigator who’s seen people dragged to prison for their darkest evil impulses, I’m still stunned by so many powerful people letting their vices draw them into an incompetent circle of depravity and susceptibility to blackmail. Billionaires are truly maladjusted idiots.

It’s my first Veterans Day away from the country that I spent my youth serving, and which has become unrecognizable. I gave a talk and drank a lot of gin.

Tbh It would be really embarrassing to have a whole infamous spy agency and then be defeated in military operations by a reporter. Zero offense or Bellingcat.

The last time I posted this I had some Zionists out themselves and get angry, so to be crystal clear I will repost it. I will always be a voice for the oppressed and for those less privileged than myself. Even if it could costs me infosec clout.

When you want to turn on a tv series in Australia you have to wait and be told to go apply waiting security updates to your devices. 💯💯🙌🏻

LOL, the never ending DFIR versus malware reversing "which side of the spectrum are you on" forensics personality test strikes again...

I have this weird, horrible, learned calculus about approving my hundreds of waiting LimkedIn requests. Do I know them? Did they send me a note? Have
I met them? Are they somewhere people want queer people dead? I’m sorry. It’s so hard to know who to trust anymore.
