Hey there! I'm someone who loves trying out different open-source software, creating awesome graphic designs, 3D printing cool stuff, making animations, and writing. My biggest passion is creating top-notch security products. I'm really interested in the nitty-gritty details of technology and privacy issues. I believe that if product management and security teams work together, we can make amazing products that solve big problems. Right now, I'm done with my graduate studies and can't wait to attend more BSides and other events in the near future.

Today in vulnerability coordination:

Vendor: "That's not a vulnerability, it requires X level of access and nobody should expose that according to our hardening guide"

Me: "Okay, so if I publicly disclose the backdoor password needed to exploit this, you are comfortable with that?"

Vendor: "You can't do that, it would put customers at unnecessary risk."

Hello :)

Loving the latest scamming-the-scammers video from @kitboga, which delves into the sprawling industry of fake trademark and publishing companies. He even features a screenshot at the beginning showing my recent story about a giant scam enterprise operating out of Texas and Pakistan that is also the subject of a synthetic opioids investigation by the feds.

In other news, the subjects of that story recently sued for defamation in Pakistan. Their crack attorneys named "Krebson Security" (lol) and included our contact at our speakers bureau. They also are going after Danny De Hek, who recently published an investigation into the same group.

A 600-year-old Chaucer mystery may finally be solved

A medieval sermon packed with 'memes' and simple spelling mistakes could explain a baffling line in 'The Canterbury Tales.'

I keep seeing this sentiment that desktop Linux has become woke and gay.

Desktop Linux has been woke and gay the whole time. Y’all just for some reason decided you suddenly have a problem with it. We didn’t change, you did. Okay some of us came out of the closet. But we’ve been talking about diversity and inclusion for decades and equity has been the entire focal point of the free software movement since like the 70s! It’s woke gay anarcho-communism and you fucking loved it until 2016

ICE Block “is not uploading your location at all, when you make a report that report isn’t associated with your device in any way, and there are no third party services that it talks to or sends data to,” EFF’s @cooperq told @404mediaco. https://www.404media.co/immigration-raid-tracking-app-ice-block-keeps-your-data-private-researcher-finds/
Immigration Raid Tracking App ‘ICE Block’ Keeps Your Data Private, Researcher Finds

The app, which jumped to the top of an App Store chart, lets users report sightings of ICE officials.

This administration is saying that "people should have to prove that they deserve health care" as justification for kicking millions off Medicaid. That's eugenics.

Health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to health care no matter who they are, what they do, or how they live.

So an alliance of 20+ tow truck operators have come together in #LosAngeles. They’re having people follow ICE vehicles around, actively reporting their locations.

As soon as ICE parks their car ANYWHERE, usually improperly
 the tow trucks quickly swoop in, tag the ICE vehicle for illegal parking, and tow their cars away as quickly as possible. LAPD is letting it happen, unchallenged.

They’re estimating over 30+ ICE vehicles being towed in the last week alone.

I love LA.
I really do.

A reminder about the prohibitions in the Geneva Conventions against starving civilians, destroying foodstuffs or drinking water installations, or forcing civilians to move away. Here's the text of Article 54 of Protocol I of the 1977 Geneva Convention (alt-text is embedded in the image):
@petergleick I honestly don't know if you're referring to Israel or the United States.
@alisynthesis Would it shock you to learn that neither the United States nor Israel has ratified the 1977 Geneva Convention Protocols?
@petergleick @alisynthesis
I was considering sending this to my US senator in regards to Israel 🙃

@petergleick @alisynthesis

That is helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I went and reviewed and found Israel and the United States have not signed Protocol I and II according to:

@rowlandm @petergleick @alisynthesis

...every military adventure in my living memory has been a test: "are there any real consequences if we do serious war crimes?"

And the answer is nope. Repeatedly.

It is sickening. I don't understand how people could give such orders, or follow such orders if given.

@petergleick @alisynthesis Not really surpised. They even voted against water and food as human rights.

Israel will continue as long as the west will ignore the genocide. It is sickening. There should have been consequences long, long time ago.

@petergleick @alisynthesis geneva conventions? More like geneva suggestions!

@petergleick @alisynthesis

It wouldn't shock me at all.

Has the US ever ratified banning land mines, or banning enlisting children under 18 as soldiers?

@petergleick

there is no right to food enshrined in the U.S. Constitution thus starving the poor huddled masses won't even require the scotus to look the other way

@petergleick

That we even have rules that say what you can't do during war, is obscene. It implies that there are things that are fine fuddafucka, just go ahead and kill and maim people. We're a fucked species is what.

@petergleick But should you get caught doing any of these things, there is a "safe word" - antisemitism.
@anne_twain don't worry, we see you anyways
@jenzi It's working with too many people, especially those in governments.

@petergleick the Geneva convention at this point is a historical set of rules. There are currently two active multi-year imperialist invasions and occupations in Europe and Palestine. Both wars have routinely broke this rule and more than one other (I don’t know them by heart).

There are zero consequences for ignoring the Geneva convention.

@petergleick

I remember. I remember being taught many of these rules and agreements were made because of what was done to Jewish people. Their stories broke my heart, and I admired their 'never again' stance and advocacy. Which makes this even more hard to bear accordingly.

In every sense of the word, these deaths are wrong.

"The best friend of a nation is he who most faithfully rebukes her for her sins—and he her worst enemy who, under the specious
 garb of patriotism seeks to excuse, palliate or defend them." - Frederick Douglass

@petergleick
What Israel & the US & their accessories are saying to the UN & to the world: Your Rules & Resolutions & Conventions etc. are worth diddly squat without teeth! Whatchagonnado? đŸ€·
@petergleick Israel ignores all international conventions. The leadership is behaving like the leaders responsible for the Holocaust. Disgraceful.

@petergleick

And the world is watching
 like it did with the genocide of 6 million jews
or the genocide of the Armenians. In a world where the UN are a dead letter.
Shameless


@petergleick

Israel whines continualyy about the German driven partial Genocide, they do not care in the slightest for any conventions and continue to starve maim kill citizens of Gaza. Men Women Children brutally murdered.

Antisemitism is growing rapidly and it is deservedly so....

@petergleick
Separate from the egregious example, I wonder if electrical installations may join that in a subsequent revision.
@petergleick @gombang sorry to say that the Geneva Conventions is about as useful as the United Nations nowadays
