#MakeShitMonday, in which we playtest the #crochet water balloons! *SPLAT*

You've heard of 99 luftballons... But how about 55 garnballons? 😁

Between travel home from Punta Cana, an unexpected project day on Monday, and #CackalackyCon this weekend, I now have 55 balloons done! One for each kid in the school.

I couldn't in good conscience send these off without making sure they performed as desired... And it's 90°F in Durham today... So I recruited @mbroome for a quick water balloon fight in the front yard. 😇 Definitely a good toy! (Also he has much better aim than I do. 😊)

So far I'm the only one, and I did it entirely from Windows just to annoy the other badge hackers. 😝 #CackalackyCon

I'm having too much fun with these slides for #Cackalackycon :)

Something I wanted to publish last year after doing all of the research for #Cackalackycon - but didn't get to - was an authoritative compendium of all software supply-chain attacks since 1975. My favorite part was researching the early Internet attacks, like wuftpd, sendmail, openssh, ircII.

It's finally up at https://isotope13.ai/compendium/ - enjoy!

Is this too on-the-nose for my talk at a hacker conference? #cackalackycon

One final release of #cleave ahead of #CackalackyCon - now with differential analysis! Check out how cleave sees the differences in the famous xzutils supply-chain attack, with more depth than any tool before it!

My talk was accepted at #CackalackyCon 2026 ! 🎉

This will be a follow-up to last year's "Supply-chain security from the trenches" talk, focusing on how AI is changing the landscape for attackers and defenders: to demo it, we'll be crowdsourcing the design for a new malware family, and showing how detection can dynamically adapt to find it.

Come join us in the shenanigans! May 15-17 in Durham, NC.

CFP sent! Speaking at #CackalackyCon was one of the highlights of 2025. I hope my talk this year sparks some interest: the plan is to live-code a malware strain and discuss what's required to build a scalable pipeline on the cheap to detect similar strains with minimal false positives.

#MakeShitMonday, #Meshtastic edition...

I got a Heltec V3 Meshtastic radio a few weeks ago to experiment with at #CackalackyCon. I set it up and did initial config with a naked board, but I didn't want to carry it around that way, so I ended up #3DPrinting a case that was designed for this board.

Had to print with supports to get the structure and shapes to print well. After cleaning all of the support material off - including the one bit I originally missed that was keeping the board from seating correctly - it all fit together nicely. I really like how it turned out!

Today is the opening day of https://cackalackycon.org/ ! While I'm bummed that my talk on "Baseline Detection Engineering." wasn't accepted, I know that my CFP submissions need some work.

Topics I'm excited to learn more about at #CackalackyCon include: Threat Modeling, Ransomware, z/OS security, Generative AI Honeypots, and IaC as an attack vector.
