@VeilidNetwork absolutely delivered and more. Been talking about some of these rough ideas with friends for years but @Medus4 & @dildog delivered, put it all together and really made it happen. Nice work #cDc.
As I sit in the audience waiting for the @VeilidNetwork presentation, I can't help but think back to the young #cDc hackers who were bounding enthusiasticly about on stage years ago at the launch of BO2k. I'm excited for what is about to come with this announcement.

#AppSec folks- what code repo are you using and are you building an SBOM prior to running security scanning on dependencies or are you just gathering dependencies and running scans?

What's the best practice here? What's the MVP?
How are you ensuring all dependencies are gathered for a given application /service prior to scanning?

Training has created an inquiring mind that would appreciate learning more from peers.

View from the #DEFCON hotel room:

#Birding or #birdwatching question: is there anyone in the #Boston area who has either a good spotting scope or binoculars better than 10x, or is a member of Cottage Park Yacht Club in #WinthropMA ? I keep seeing #swallows of some species that appear to be roosting under the metal cap on one of their dock pillars, but they're dark all over, with only one having even a slightly pale belly. I don't have a telephoto lens- I need help ID'ing the species in person.

Thanks!

Influential hacktivist group Cult of the Dead Cow will headline Def Con next week, releasing a framework and distributed network for apps that fully encrypt files, messages and even social networking. GIFT LINK: wapo.st/3Yl9nNK

Red Queen Dynamics presents Infosec.Exchange's State of the Instance

Post advertising webinar for startup hiring

Hey fellow #cybersecurity and #appsec professionals, hobbiests, hackers and tinkerers. I'm headed to Vegas for #BlackHat2023 and #Defcon31 for the first time in 13 years. It seems like ages and mostly because it's going to be the first time participating as a corporate AppSec lackey and not a vendor consultant, a research analyst, speaker or working for the conferences managing press like in some of the early days*.

Looking forward to seeing some of the (now older) familiar faces and meeting so many of the new folks I've only had the pleasure of making acquaintances on infosec social media from afar, and getting caught up as well as just breathing a bit while getting some training and a certificate.

Come say hi if you see me! #McIntyre

Securing the Web forward: Addressing developer concerns in web security

A recent survey affirms the need to drive developer awareness and adoption of Web security standards & practices.
