Interesting to see this just happening now. When we created the PowerShell Gallery 13 years ago, making modules safe to download was one of my top priorities. Creating a safe gallery for code sharing is of course a rich and complicated topic, but the benefit this improvement is self-evident.

Wrote an app this weekend to announce my incoming notifications (texts etc.) in either vibrated or audio morse code. It literally took me longer to figure how to connect my phone to the PC to transfer the app into it than it did to write the damn thing :)
It's alive! If you're a Blue Teamer trying to write secure services or secure an organization that does, Threat Driven Software Development is the book you've been looking for. This was a deep collaboration between Michael Howard, Sherrod DeGrippo, Shawn Hernan and I - I'm so excited to be able to get this expertise into the world. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0135567386

Added multi-part conversions to the Pyco retro calculator a while back - super handy :)

This is a serious question.

Is there anyone keeping track of infosec-related songs and music? I mean music where the lyrics are specifically about hacking and hackers. Could be music made by people in the community, like this song, but also outside of the community.

The rise in capability in AI models over the past year and a half for vulnerability research is incredible - and it's not just Mythos. Check out CyberGym's graph of progression against 1500+ real-world CVEs: https://www.cybergym.io/

Read the MDASH report (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/05/12/defense-at-ai-speed-microsofts-new-multi-model-agentic-security-system-tops-leading-industry-benchmark/) but want something deeper?

Check out this really great deep dive into many of the concepts. Who knows if any of this will ever end up in a product or anything, but it damn sure is helping security: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWIyZo1b6a8

Amazing post from Taesoo Kim about Microsoft's MDASH project highlighting the most important lesson to learn about AI-assisted vulnerability research. It's not the model, it's the infrastructure around it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/05/12/defense-at-ai-speed-microsofts-new-multi-model-agentic-security-system-tops-leading-industry-benchmark/?v=1

Messing around with an MTG-inspired game that uses regular playing cards, and wow - meta tuning can be a rabbit hole!

But being able to run thousands of simulations of different rule tweaks to check for fairness, risk of boredom, avalanche effects - it's like a super power.
