Got roped into product security by sitting in the wrong cockpit at the wrong time.
It's time to re-enjoy this golden quote about me and #curl, shown in the most awesome way.

Protip: When choosing a root-of-trust encryption key for a hardware secure enclave, maybe don't use the vendor's asymmetric key literally labeled "CN=DO NOT TRUST - Test PK". New scoop by @dangoodin: Secure Boot is Completely Broken on 200+ Models from 5 Big Device Makers

Secure Boot is completely broken on 200+ models from 5 big device makers

Keys were labeled “DO NOT TRUST.” Nearly 500 device models use them anyway.

So, let me see if I understand the current state of anti-malware from an application vendor's perspective:

* One tool's AI/ML feature hallucinates and marks your software as malware
* VirusTotal publishes their finding
* All the other anti-malware vendors see the one report in VirusTotal and copy it.
* App vendor's customers complain because their local scanner or IT department's monitoring freaks out
* The app vendor has to individually contact each anti-malware vendor, dealing with broken support portals, outdated contact info, or full email inboxes.
* A few vendors clear your app, while others won't clear their finding until other vendors clear first (insert Spiderman pointing meme)
* Repeat forever

The amazing helicopter on #Mars, Ingenuity, will fly no more - https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/nasas-mars-helicopter-has-made-its-last-flight-above-the-red-planet/ "has flown a staggering 72 flights. It has spent more than two hours—128.3 minutes, to be precise—flying through the thin Martian air."

There's a lot of appeal to Cybellum, but their SBOM scanning tech is still immature on Windows. They consistently mis-identify Microsoft's binaries as OSS equivalents (Wine, Samba), even though those binaries are attributed and signed by MS. Hoping they get that resolved soon.
