I set up REA, an open-source reverse-engineering tool, to drive headless Ghidra 12.1.4 on Debian 13. It took three Java versions, one verified download and a six-line shell function. Along the way it taught me S3 presigned URLs, ELF internals and a few habits I'll keep.
A routine Unsloth Studio update printed a launch command ending in -H 0.0.0.0. One port check later, I found Docker containers, an unauthenticated Ollama API and a year-old SQL Server all open to my network. Here's the audit, every command, and why each fix maps to AWS and Black Hat Python.
OpenClaw turns an AI model into an agent that acts on your machine. Here is why it exists, what it is good for, and the hardening I applied after it updated itself.
A one-line test of my new default browser opened my own blog to an Internal Server Error. What followed was a same-day investigation from the terminal: isolating a PHP failure, verifying a changed SSH host key after a silent cloud migration, working with support, and auditing what was left behind after the fix.
A sponsored ad led me to vet Zero Trust World 2027: decoding the link, checking legitimacy, pricing the trip from Honolulu, and why I asked questions before committing.
My TypeSafe invite arrived, so I read the Data Processing Addendum, created an API key, and ran my first real call to Jev. It flagged a fake AWS phishing email at probability 1.0 — and took 5.6 seconds to do it. Here's what I measured, and why I'm still not impressed.
TypeSafe AI just launched Jev, a model that makes typed decisions instead of writing text. I installed the Python SDK on Debian, wrote a phishing-classifier script, joined the waitlist, and ended up cleaning my GitHub profile and finding a .env file that shouldn't have been committed.
The CSI Linux Certified Investigator (CSI CI) course is a 27-module, hands-on program that teaches investigators how to use CSI Linux — a purpose-built investigative distro, not an attack platform — for case management, OSINT, forensics, incident response, and threat intelligence. This reference summary covers the full module structure, key concepts, flashcards, study path, and exam prep in one guide.
Today I began turning a second physical Debian laptop into a real endpoint for my Microsoft security lab. I installed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, verified its health, and discovered an important distinction between installing an agent and actually onboarding it into an enterprise security organization.
A video about the ArrayRef supply-chain attack made me question the Rust crates I had recently installed on Debian.
