Yeah, the skiddy army is about to level way the heck up and orgs that think the castle wall model is meaningful are going to have a very bad time.
You know what’s funny though, from my admittedly smaller vantage point I’m not really seeing an increase in initial compromises via exploits.. I’m seeing extremely good phishing leading to AI-speed lateraling and exploitation, and kind of crazy privilege escalation.
If orgs arent investing heavily in compartmentalizing their environments they’re gonna get rocked soon.

Back in the 80s, there was "ADHD" and "ADD". "ADD" was basically "ADHD but not as hyper", and in practice it meant "ADHD, but for girls".
I was given the "ADD" label because I wouldn't pay attention but I'd sit quietly in class, and almost any time it came up someone would add "that's very unusual for a boy"

2026-03-27 13:41:05 UTC

I have never managed the nerve to completely out myself on LinkedIn, so I have this weird collection of people who know me under different names and genders and pronouns, and I think many might even know me under two different contexts and not realize I'm the same person. If I update it everyone who knows me -now- will find out a bunch about me from -then-, and everyone who knew me -then- is going to learn a lot about me -now-.

The internet Archive is great. I donate every year.. but I also keep my own copies of anything I think is important. Why?
Because if someone burns the library of Alexandria, I've got some of what it will take to put it back together. Not a large part by any measure, but part.
And part of that might require provenance! I keep notes about what it is, how I collected it, where I collected it, sha256 hashes, etc, to reduce the amount people might have to take my word.
The footage Chelsea went to jail for? What happened in Minnesota yesterday? Those and many other less important things, all tucked away, distributed, cataloged, fingerprinted, protected from erasure.
I can make any of them resurface anywhere I want, whenever I want, if necessary. It's a small power, but it's power.

I don't hate AI. On the contrary, it's fascinated me since I was a kid playing around with LISP because I heard the MIT AI Lab used it a lot.
I hate that people don't know there is more to AI than LLMs, and I hate that LLMs are being marketed as GenAI. I hate that the rich are ready to set the proletariat ablaze because they think GenAI is here. I hate that we're overlooking the potential societal devestation that could be ahead because right-leaning billionaires control the training of the markov bots. I hate that as a whole we're not taking the AI bubble. I hate that we're not treating this like the second rush to own all the printing presses. I hate that all research is now being sucked into an LLM black hole.
I hate that every bit of data, every medium, every forum, every source repository, every newspaper, every social media platform is being slowly turned to grey goo by slop feedback loops.

If you are not a US citizen and you are thinking about coming here, please strongly reconsider. I would be concerned for your safety, and to be honest these idiots need to feel the pain of tourism and international business drying up.
The US has what are effectively secret police snatching up people and disappearing them into a detention system. Some people reemerge in two weeks, some stay in there.
Don't risk it until something changes.
Security and hacker conferences and the like should really be considering alternate venues for international audiences, and consider whether they are being held in places queer folks within the US can safely attend.

2025-03-27 15:02:12 UTC

I think people are getting confused about why Signal isn't appropriate for national secrets. It's secure isn’t it?
If we listen to the folks who designed it, it is designed with an intent to protect journalists, activists, and regular people. It does that by making it difficult enough that a much more equiped adversary would find it to expensive (literally in money, or in other resources) to obtain the contents of the chat.
It was -not- designed to contain the conversation of a world super power’s most powerful decision makers. That is a conversation many nations around the world would be willing to devote essentially unlimited resources to attack.
Likewise, it contains features and user interface elements geared toward normal people having normal, but perhaps private, conversations. It does not contain mechanisms a channel designed for top secret, high level communications might- for instance verifying things like hardware tokens/smart cards issued by a trusted root, with coupled biometrics also verified by a trusted collective root. It does not obscure communications patterns or network paths. It doesn’t incorporate dedicated networks with trusted and verified nodes. It doesn't, as far as I know, contain a feature for a user to silently report a compromise or duress.
The hub-bub about the use of Signal is pretty much an example of the tool "failing" in a way that is due to it's unsuitability for the government/military comms but entirely suitable for its more individual, civilian-focused purpose. A tool fit for their use case should have not allowed participants that were not centrally cleared as authentic and authorized for the compartmented information within, and an entire universe of controls would have existed around it to reduce the risk of side channels and leakage.
Signal is not at fault here, and the ultimate authorities of the US DoD, US Central Intelligence Agency, and the US National Security Agency should know better.
This is a failure of understanding and fragrant disregard for TTPs/SOPs that should disqualify these people from holding those roles. They clearly don't know what they are doing, and they don't care.

Yes, pentesting is very sexy, and that attack on $RARE_PLATFORM is interesting, but come back when you have

3) Appropriate staffing levels and budget
4) Executive buy-in
There you go, those are the four "hard problems" in corporate infosec. Put that in a Gartner magic square.

Considering the Stasi and Khmer Rouge not a “full-blown oppressive regime" is.. probably the most Russian thing I've ever heard, and I say that with love.
But, sure, if you want to imagine a perfect state, and are willing to accept zero risk.. then no. There's no point to anything. Fortunately states are not perfect, and some risks are acceptable. History has proven that out fairly well.

I mean, I apologize I only have examples from Soviet republics under the exact same mechanisms of oppression and totality in place in Russia at the same times? It is likely not as well documented given Russia was not occupied by the Soviet Union in quite the same way as the Soviets took over the eastern block countries where there were far fewer supporters, and Russia did not eject the Soviets in quite the same way the other republics did. There are however numerous accounts of minor sabotage within the Soviet Union. I wouldn't know post 1989, when Russia has operated as a less totalitarian country and there have been fewer studies.. and I don't live there. I can tell you these campaigns have been common in late 20th century eastern block countries, various efforts within China, North Korea, and during the communist governments of east asia like the Khmer Rouge, and back further into history during the west's Industrial Revolutions of the 19th century.

There's quite a few accounts of minor/simple sabotage amongst the resistance movements of East Germany before reunification, which were conducted on a wide scale in combination with more traditional sabotage and active resistance under the oppression of the Stasi, who were not exactly push-overs.
Hungary and Poland were also states where there were popular simple sabotage movements against the Soviet regime.
The Norwegians were apparently very adept at quietly sabotaging the Nazis, to the extent that the Germans began warning the occupying forces not to ask for directions.

I've been to quite a few- a few warzones, a couple totalitarian communist regimes- and I'm describing what I've learned from talking to people there and from the writings of the people who organized within those places. This is not a suggestion for how to keep yourself safe, this is not a suggestion for how to make living in an oppressive regime safe- it is a generally applicable strategy for a population, which a great many take small risks instead of a few taking great risks. They are still risks.

The modern conception is modeled heavily on the various forms of resistance within occupied Europe during WW2, as detailed in the Office of Strategic Services (forerunner to the CIA) “Simple Sabotage Manual”, which available on an internet near you.

2024-11-11 17:11:46 UTC

Just in case you ever need this in the future..
Actual wide-scale resistance groups operating under a repressive regime rarely look like what many movies have led you to believe.
What they look like are a lot of normal people who maybe lose a document, maybe forget to latch a gate, maybe take a little longer to do a task than they would otherwise.
It requires no command and control, no leaders, no connections to be compromised. For most, it is not the work of great measures, it is the thousand.. million.. cuts that grind the oppressor to a halt while never being something they can prove.
