And if you put your name on that "Mythos-ready" paper from the CSA, your credibility just went down the drain.

The more I read, the more annoyed I get. Which is good, given that I am CRANKYSEC. But, holy hell, man... Every single company associated with this bullshit, and every #cybersecurity org that tries to capitalize on this (*cough* CSA *cough* SANS *cough* OWASP) are making it *really* clear where they stand. They stand with the money. This is not for the benefit of the industry and its practitioners. This is for the benefit of sales. My company doesn't do that.

"Just disable every security feature and put the system in a state where this shit would probably happen naturally without any intervention whatsoever, call it a 0day, and tell everyone this thing's too damn powerful. The media loves this stuff!" Anthropic, probably.

Did we forget about the concept of "PoC || GTFO"?

I’m sure the money saved by not sending this video player to thousands of people would have paid for a couple of FTEs. But, no. #crowdstrike sent this thing that plays ONE stupid video to a bunch of people, and now pretty much every single one of them is in a landfill somewhere. Suck my dick, Kurtz.

Professional solidarity should mean that everyone in #cybersecurity with a budget should send their dollars as far away from #crowdstrike as possible. Alas. We’re debating forming a co-op over at the Crankysec discord. Come check it out, and fuck those greedy bitches.

And let’s be clear here: Some people who ran a “Fedi house” in Texas of all places and invited folks from Meta and Bluesky, plus some journalists who very rarely interact with the Fedi to talk about the “future” of the ecosystem are trying to fashion themselves as champions of the Fediverse. They are not.

This is a Fedi-only post. If there’s one thing that warms my cold heart, it’s passionate people who share their passion for the sake of sharing their passion. I see a lot of that here. I don’t see much of that at bsky, for example. This space, even with all the problems, must be cared for, nurtured, and protected. Shout out to everyone here sharing their passions and gifts with the world just because it’s a cool thing to do.

I am a huge cheerleader for folks who do stuff. If the general vibes align, I will patronize and talk about your company, blog, music, art, product, service, newsletter, app, site, whatever. Please send all of that my way.
What I do not like, though, are people who will throw their audience/customers/supporters’s goodwill out the window for 20 pieces of silver.

For real, give @npub1z3m…zn2f a follow. Always good stuff.
