    Looks like CyberNwes had released their #DefCon Documentary! &quot;For the first time in over a decade since the founders&#39; original documentary, Cybernews was granted unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to DEF CON&#39;s organizers and community.&quot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb0kJXSy64E

    The #LasVegas #Meshtastic mesh is starting to get its annual influx of users. I’m sure #Meshcore is having the same experience. #DefCon

    I know I am in #DefCon mode because I want to drink Red Bull non-stop. I don&#39;t drink it any other time, so it&#39;s kinda a strange stress response.

    Great new feature in the latest Signal app. If you enable disappearing messages the meta data of calls and missed calls gets deleted as well. I know this was a long standing goal for them, but the engineering behind it took time. #Privacy @signalapp@mastodon.world

    Question about #RainbowTable and #PasswordCracking What is the preferred format today? RT2, RTC, RT (RT1?) and with what tools, rcrack? I&#39;d like to convert all the https://infocon.org/ rainbow tables into whatever the best format is so everyone that downloads them doesn&#39;t have to keep duplicating work. #InfoSec #InfoCon #hacking

    For #DEFCON to do private email we would want to host our own servers to avoid the 3rd party legal doctrine, and keep them secure. No problem, we have a secure location and lawyers. Back during COVID when we were investigating this it was still possible to gather some open source info on how large other private email services were. How big was the market? Could you make enough money to hire the people and buy the servers? MailFence, Proton, and others showed it was possible if you were very e...

    The AI Security Uplift is underway.. the security fixes in the latest Nginx version is a good example. More fixes in one version than the last year. Unrelated to core Nginx there are an additional 22 fixes in the ZSTD module. https://nginx.org/en/CHANGES Like I have been saying, all boats will get lifted on a rising tide, but only if you use popular boats that everyone runs their tools against.

    Just connecting through Dubai on the way to Bahrain for some #DefCon meetings. Everything seems oddly normal at the airport, I’m not sure what I expected, and I’m curious what stories I’ll hear from locals. We plan to make a go/no-go decision the beginning of July if we hold DC Middle East the beginning of November, but either way we need to be planning now.

    I’m really enjoying Organic Maps on iOS. For a totally free and privacy respecting app it is fantastic. I’m now using Apple Maps about 1/2 of what I used to. The one area Apple Maps is superior is awareness of bus routing and weather, but I live with that split.

    Under the giant #DefCon cube!

    With South East Asia getting around 80% oil from the Straight of Hormuz, and #Singapore around 65%, it seems prescient that back in February they had a campaign around awareness if the power goes out:

    Looks like someone built a tool to check your LinkedIn network for names from the Epstein documents. Soon I expect other tools will follow to work with other social media platforms. This is what the beginning of community accountability looks like. Just because the legal system is captured doesn’t mean there are zero consequences. https://github.com/cfinke/EpsteIn Yes, I know I am mentioned in the files, but I can’t control when other people mention me. #epstein

    RE: https://infosec.exchange/@SecurityWriter/115969540425890734 To build on what was said below, your whole online existence is essentially three things combined: 1 - Your email account or mail server where you can get password resets. 2 - DNS that protects the mail server from being impersonated. 3 - Your domain WWW server that can publish records that your domain registrar or certificate authority trusts when issuing certificates. If you lose control of your email account or mail server, p...
