  1. 28 Years Later: Some Things Changed. The Important Stuff Didn't.

    Twenty-eight years after warning the U.S. Senate that the internet was broken, the security industry has grown but the core problem hasn't changed. We're still writing vulnerable code and patching after the fact. AI is both accelerating the risk and, for the first time, pointing at a real fix: security built into the developer's workflow, upstream, before the damage is done.

  6. The latest episode of 'Where Warlocks Stay up Late" dropped yesterday. Featuring yours truly. The interview goes pretty deep from growing up in Maine, working at Lotus, stories about L0pht you may not have heard before to getting fired from @stake. Probably the most personal interview I have ever given.

  13. Today to honor Steve #Wozniak, who gave the commencement address to undergraduates at #CUBoulder, at @mediaarchaeologylab I pulled out an old app that is part of the Whacked #Mac Archives, curated by the #L0pht.

    The app's sole purpose is to pull a series of fuzzy, heavily dithered PICT format bitmap images out of the ROM of a #Macintosh SE (and no other model). This was an easter egg of epic proportions - photos of the early people who worked at #Apple Computer, burned into the silicon that powers the computer. Seeing these images was a bit like what I imagine an alien species would feel when they play the golden record on Voyager for the first time.

    Sorry for the weird bars on some of these photos. I'll try to get clearer ones next week.

  23. Unlocking #Digital Doors: On the #Hacker Group That Told #Congress They Could Take Down the #Internet - Walter J. Scheirer on #L0pht Heavy Industries and the Origins of Modern-Day Online #Deception

    "Early computer users were consumed with the idea of being able to go places that ordinary people could not. There was something tantalizing about the vast complexity of computer technology. Peering into the digital nooks and crannies, sometimes one could find oneself making a discovery that unlocked a door to a realm of the impossible. The most familiar example of this effect from the classic era of computing is the video game cheat code."
