Infosec computer cybergoth. Turns Malware into art and music. Opinions here are my own.
I'm in Spain, hopefully I can run into @joxean while I'm here
Has this gotten any better?

The leak of Samsung Android platform signing keys seems like a pretty big deal.

What's interesting is there seems to be evidence of it being abused years ago as well.l, but that remains to be seen and fully investigated.

Play detects the malicious signed keys but those people that side load apps, hopefully this pushes v3 signing for platforms

@jags dcc sending you warez pls hold
@da_667 I just want to say one of my top favorite moments of blue bird site were watching you live tweet infosec playing this game

Shout out to Spotify and their sweet fake music festival posters everyone is posting on social media.

My team just used them to password guess people based on their headlined bands + year born.

@da_667 this makes me feel so old, I remember when VX authors used to fat shame your virus when it was over 1k in size.
@pixelnull I have lost the exact same friend, my deepest condolences

Today the world lost a true technomancer. My father, Robert Linares, just passed away unexpectedly.

He was one of the smartest people I have ever met.

He was an old school hardware hacker, he introduced me to programming at 6 and gave me my first computer that he dumpster dived out of Burr Brown and fixed.

He was one of us, infosec, before we even had a word to describe it, he was doing it.

He was an avionics technician for years, matter of fact, he has found hundreds of flaws in aircraft avionics to the point that he made a job out of it at several private aircraft companies.

He helped me do work on finding flaws in aircraft and technically he shares a CVE that affected commercial aircraft.

He is the person that taught me how to look at the world differently and it's how I work in cybersecurity.

I cannot emphasize how much of him is in everything I do.

A dizzying number of new people are showing up on Mastodon very day. This is great news. But I can't keep up. So, if I followed you on Twitter but I don't follow you here, let me know so I can fix that.

IB4: Yes, I am aware of the many tools that will scan the list of people I am following on Twitter and give me their Mastodon accounts. I follow about 1300 people on Twitter. I'm not going to run this tool every damn day looking for new names.
