I’ve always been community first.
If I have a limited conference budget, I’d rather spend it where I can learn, meet people, collaborate, make videos, and bring that knowledge back to all of you.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@agent0x0/116834160735284760
@agent0x0 and @secureideas had be on their @sharedsecurity podcast, where we told stories like when Tom made me break in to a building, when @meeas and @secureideas fought over a Dora the Explorer backpack on Justin's first day at InGuardians, and #Kubernetes #AI hacking.
We also talked about working to create the same sense of belonging we got at @defcon via the Kubernetes CTF at DEF CON and about my #BlackHat class: Agentic AI-Aided Kubernetes Attack&Defense.

Black Hat is almost here.
Forget the vendor swag and AI buzzword bingo. The real value is knowing which talks, Arsenal demos, summits, and hallway conversations are worth your time. I dug through the schedule and put together my insider's guide to Black Hat USA 2026: the research I'd prioritize, the sessions I wouldn't miss, and how to get the most out of Hacker Summer Camp before DEF CON kicks off. See you at Mandalay Bay. #blackhat #hackersummercamp #bsideslv

Assholes Will Always Exist
Over the years they've been called a lot of things. Some of the terms, these miscreants actually donned like a cape or wore the disparaging noun as a badge of honor:
- #cracker
- #list_bully
- #foreign_agent
- #incel
- #phishermen
- #spammer
- #blackhatThe list is truly, much too long to collate in a single fly by topical mention; and that's really not the point of what I'm writing about here either. What is absolutely pernicious, is the #MiTM style attack on software distribution rising to a level where even the source cannot be held in high confidence.
When these atrocious acts become the commonplace verbs to the infamous nouns above it is time that each and every one of us stand vigil and at the ready to come to the aid of our community members. Here's one such place where we can begin - the #AUR: https://archlinux.org/news/active-aur-malicious-packages-incident/

Im Vorfeld der #BlackHat 2026 in Las Vegas nimmt Microsoft mutmaßlich das nächste Fettnäpfchen in der Community der Sicherheitsforscher mit. Die sollen dem MSRC angeben, ob sie über Schwachstellen in MS-Produkten reden, ob Meldungen mit Referenz gibt.

Oh right, #BlackHat is coming up so I will be utterly buried in unsolicited emails and calls from "AI Security" companies and it's already happening and I hate it so much and I did my time at that con already and no. Just no.

So many Vegas visits, still so few for fun
Landing at Dulles Wednesday evening closed out my 45th work trip to Las Vegas. That number alone is not something to take pride in and probably constitutes evidence of some character defect, but what’s even more disturbing is that since my first trip to Vegas in 1998–for CES, of course–I have still only been there three times for fun.
This lifestyle long ago rendered me incapable of dealing with that city however normal people do. Instead, having the event formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show dominate my experience of Vegas–I’m now at 28 trips there just for the Consumer Technology Association’s convention, still one of the most important events on my work calendar–keeps subjecting me to the place at its most expensive and least efficient.
Even smaller-scale conferences like Black Hat (with six trips so far, it’s become about as essential as CES but easier to monetize) and the NAB Show (where I moderated a panel this week, with the National Association of Broadcasters covering airfare and lodging) leave me happier to take off from LAS than to land there.
It’s not that I can’t enjoy a little time in the glitziest corner of Nevada. You can eat exceedingly well there, and Vegas service-industry folks are some of the best in the world. Blackjack can be fun, as long as you remember that you should at least try to lose slowly.
If you drive far enough off the Strip, you can see some striking natural scenery. It took CES to remind me of that last bit, in the form of an outing in 2025 to Lake Mead to experience an electric sport boat.
And there is some exceptional lodging in Vegas, although I’ve also stayed at some of the crummier ones. I started trying to inventory the hotels I’ve stayed at from the Strip up to the convention center (thus excluding off-strip properties like the Palms and a few places in downtown Las Vegas as well as two Airbnbs) and quickly realized they exceed the number of ballparks I’ve visited.
From south to north: Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York, MGM Grand, Monte Carlo (today Park MGM), Cosmopolitan, Hilton Grand Vacations, Bally’s (now the Horseshoe), Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood), Palms, Flamingo, Westin, Imperial Palace (the worst among the lot, fortunately now the Linq), Harrah’s, Mirage (demolished, being replaced by a Hard Rock Hotel in the shape of a guitar), Treasure Island, Wynn, Renaissance, Westgate, Fontainebleau (I’d rank that the best).
But however nice the hotel may have been, there’s no getting around how much I dislike the auto-centric, pedestrian-hostile nature of the streets outside. Unless you can start and end a conference commute on the monorail–this week’s trip, unlike most, allowed that–you will sit in traffic.
The only improvements to Vegas transportation since 1998 have been on the margins: the monorail, Uber and Lyft liberating visitors from taxis that charge $3 extra for credit-card payment, the Vegas Loop’s tunnels, and the advent of autonomous vehicles from Zoox and, soon, Waymo.
Even walking up and down the Strip is less efficient than it should be once you enter a building, since casino floors are where readable layouts and clear signage go to die.
I grew up someplace where you had to drive everywhere; I never want to live like that again and don’t enjoy visiting places that seem intent on making that a perpetual default. I am much happier to have my travel destination be a more human-scaled city where it’s normal and enjoyable to get around by walking and transit; the contrast between CES in Vegas and MWC in Barcelona is glaring and entirely in Spain’s favor.
I think of that every time one industry-analyst friend who moved from the Bay Area to a Vegas suburb tries to sell me on the same move. My response is always some version of “there is nothing you could say to make me ever want to do that.”
And yet work keeps pulling me to Vegas anyway. This week’s trip was my third this year, with one more planned, and I already know next year will feature at least three. I should probably seek treatment for this condition at some point.

Here are four of the ten looping Claude user quotes on anthropic.com homepage... Mind you, these are not dynamic, they chose these explicitly. Are they trying to represent user sentiment accurately or are they reading these very differently than I am?
I went there after watching this talk: "Nicholas Carlini - Black-hat LLMs", from one of their engineers. There's definitely good work by talented and conscientious people that's going on there.
I'm rewriting this post because I'm cynical of corporate motives but I also don't think that interpreting everything cynically is helpful. Even after the VC funding runs out (hopefully before we destroy the planet and society), these tools won't disappear especially for malicious actors. So if they're also building tooling to mitigate harm / defend against threat actors, do I dare to hope they're reading the quotes the same way I am? Or is it more of:
I feel like I'm creating more dependency than knowledge.
