The optimal path to exploit development is:
1. Software engineering
2. Reverse engineering
3. Exploit development
And each of these areas build on and improve the others.
Being a software engineer part of an enormous monolithic project requires skills in reverse engineering to understand other people's code.
Being a reverse engineer requires software development if you want to make tools to improve / automate your process.
Being an exploit developer requires both to be able to locate a vulnerability and write a poc to take advantage of said vulnerability.

I've been meaning to share this for a bit. Here is a wireshark/tshark dissector for the Apple BLE Advertising Beacon protocol known as "Continuity". It dissects all the data that your devices are sending out constantly. Happy Friday!

Ever wonder if your USB C cable is USB2 or USB3? Do you have some charge-only cables hiding in a box just waiting for the right moment to spoil your project plans?!
Fear no more!
I’ve made a simple board to test most of the things!

I get a couple dozen questions a year about laser decapping. So YES, I now can do laser decaps for both epoxy ("PDIP") and other chips like below. I'm working on tuning the process and will do a writeup once its more mature

america is wrong about everything except fahrenheit. farenheit is the correct way to measure temperature. fahrenheit is like "man, it's so hot out. it's gotta be like.......100 hots."
