I've always thought that having the ability to set tripwires on arbitrary files on an endpoint would be a huge defensive advantage. Today, that is now a reality for all users of osquery in macOS: material.security/blog/prote…
I'm hiring a Lead Threat Researcher at @material_sec
If you're tired of casting a wide net of detections that never trigger in an enterprise environment, come solve the opposite problem where every net you cast is full of phish 🎣

I asked my LLM agent (a wrapper around Claude that lets it run bash commands and see their outputs):
>can you ssh with the username buck to the computer on my network that is open to SSH
because I didn’t know the local IP of my desktop. I walked away and promptly forgot I’d spun up the agent. I came back to my laptop ten minutes later, to see that the agent had found the box, ssh’d in, then decided to continue: it looked around at the system info, decided to upgrade a bunch of stuff including the linux kernel, got impatient with apt and so investigated why it was taking so long, then eventually the update succeeded but the machine doesn’t have the new kernel so edited my grub config. At this point I was amused enough to just let it continue. Unfortunately, the computer no longer boots.
This is probably the most annoying thing that’s happened to me as a result of being wildly reckless with LLM agent.

Heartbroken after seeing a young patient with no medical history, end up with a BIFFL GRADE II dissection of the vertebral artery and subsequent acute PICA infarct immediately after a neck adjustment from the chiropractor. This has to stop.
Chiropractors - you HAVE to stop.

So, Google is killing its cache (which was amazingly useful), and replacing it with a third-party solution of linking to the Internet Archive. I really hope the Internet Archive is being paid -- and paid a lot -- for this.
We know many people, including those in the research community, value seeing previous versions of webpages when available. That’s why beginning today, we're adding links to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to our "About this result" panel, to give people quick context and make this helpful information easily accessible through Search.
To access archive links, click on the three dots next to a search result. In the window that appears, click on the "More about this page" button, then look for the "See previous versions on Internet Archive's Wayback Machine" link.
It will take a day or so for this to fully roll out and be available for those searching in 40 different languages. Learn more about how "About this result" works and other information it offers here: support.google.com/websearch…
I've always thought it would be neat to visualize all 65,535 TCP ports at once. For example, a portscan would probably look pretty neat. 30 minutes and bit of back and forth with o1-preview got me a working app.
2 portscans visualized: one using sequential scans, one not

As a PGE customer, I want to believe, but "lowering electricity prices" is a pretty foreign concept to them

Microsoft identified a North Korean threat actor exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Chromium (CVE-2024-7971) to gain remote code execution. Our assessment of ongoing analysis and observed infrastructure attributes this activity to Citrine Sleet. msft.it/6010l7S6w
.@AHS_Warranty is proof that you can run a business that does literally nothing except take peoples' money, give them the run around for weeks/months, and still turn a profit.
The bar for competition is so low the heat of the center of the earth is melting it

It’s a common aphorism that those who seek power are not worthy of it. I unironically believe this and would pick a fucking (qualified) rando to run America every 4 years under the weight of responsibility they’d feel. You need someone who is afraid of fucking this up.
