If you know me, you know I'm a huge fan of Cyber Deception! But what about deception as it relates to AI? Check out my new article on ways to utilize deception to potentially strengthen AI defenses and frustrate attacks, hope you find it interesting! medium.com/@marcusthebrody/i…

No company should be able to automatically collect user data for AI training until they opt out; it should always be an opt in. @LinkedIn

RE: Exploding Electronics ...at @defcon 22 (2014) there was a talk/demo of a (subverted) security camera that leveraged facial recognition to trigger a self-destruction/explosion when a target was detected in close proximity ☠️ Have a watch! 🫣📸💥 youtu.be/8PXHhGa5k8g?si=NoEg…
I asked an ex-IDF intel agent about this. They don't think it was a remote hack. It's more likely that devices were intercepted, explosive capability put on the pager, and then software tampered with to make sure the devices exploded when a specific message came in.

I was rather skeptical that this wasn't an elaborate joke, but yes, @CrowdStrike has apparently emailed its customers & offered a ~$10 UberEats gift card/coupon for any "inconvenience" ...and yes, it errors out when one goes to redeem it, saying it has been cancelled 🫠
Per @TechCrunch / @lorenzofb – CrowdStrike is offering a $10 Uber Eats giftcard to individuals impacted by the recent CrowdStrike outage. $10 USD is €9.21 EURO or £7.75. There is no indication if this is per customer, per company, or per computer. techcrunch.com/2024/07/24/cr…

Nobody I’ve seen has yet asked whether it is necessary to have third party security products in the Windows Kernel. I mean specifically why do ETW-ti events require kernel level access to read? Perhaps if the information was available to userland…

Security products wouldn’t need Elam drivers (which can be gate-keeping), and wouldn’t be required to operate in the kernel. Yes attackers could view which functions are being monitored, but I think there might be some benefit to trying to move security products

Out of the windows kernel. Not saying this can be fully done, but it does beg the question - why isn’t some of this security information readable from userland?

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n

I had such a great time presenting @x33fcon last month! Great to meet so many new folks and make some friends. I am releasing my PoCs for the two techniques I spoke about at x33fcon, Guard Comms and Guard Stomping. Check out github.com/asaurusrex/Guard_…, presentation slides included!

🆕🍎In the heat of WWDC week, I'm releasing a writeup about a new persistence method I was investigating on macOS. Widgets. I also wrote a few tools which can be used for widget forensics and also some limited offensive tooling. Links in the blog post. theevilbit.github.io/beyond/…

So Apple has introduced a new system called “Private Cloud Compute” that allows your phone to offload complex (typically AI) tasks to specialized secure devices in the cloud. I’m still trying to work out what I think about this. So here’s a thread. 1/
