📑 WEBMASTER@ a manifesto for everyone · brennan.day
I'm reclaiming the title of 'webmaster' as the multidisciplinary creator who designs, develops, writes, and advocates for their own corner of the web and will save the world. Tracing the history from 1993 to the present, I argue that anyone can become a webmaster with minimal tools. Webmastery is an act of digital repatriation and human agency against corporate platforms and AI orchestration.

📑 Prompt Injection as Role Confusion
Project page for Prompt Injection as Role Confusion, accepted to ICML 2026. We show prompt injections are driven by a flaw in how LLMs perceive roles. This lets us create new attacks, explain mech interp results, and predict when attacks succeed. We then discuss what roles are and why they matter, and share research ideas for a science of roles.

📑 I Could've Rickrolled the Entire FIFA World Cup. All I Needed Was My ID. | bobdahacker
How I found that anyone could register on FIFA's public Agent Platform, gain access to the Football Data Platform's Streaming Management panel, and get RTMP ingest URLs and stream keys for every live FIFA World Cup 2026 camera feed. I then spent hours calling FIFA, MediaKind, HBS, CISA, and the FBI trying to get someone to pick up the phone.

📑 AI Economics for Dummies - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency
Benjamin owns a farm. He employs 100 workers plowing his fields. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10 percent productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000 percent productivity gain.

📑 IPv6 Foundations: The Internet Protocol You Should Already Be Using | Larvitz Blog
A laid-back tour through the basics of IPv6: how the addresses are built, how to shorten them without losing your mind, how they map onto the IPv4 you already know, and how hosts configure themselves with SLAAC. Plus a short sidebar on NDP and why blocking ICMP on an IPv6 network is a self-inflicted wound.

📑 The Internet Needs More Cross-Pollinators · brennan.day
So, my silly little fanfic project blew up like crazy and received some really negative feedback. And I think I understand why. Exploring the concept of boundary spanning and cross-pollination in online communities. Drawing on organizational theory and the work of Michael Tushman. We need people who move between different online subcultures to seed ideas and build bridges.

📑 IOC Distillation for Posture Improvement | IFIN
The general workflow for many teams is to review, extract, and validate the IOCs within an intel document. Then deploy the validated IOCs to your tools: SIEM, endpoints, network, email, and other security boundaries.
Unfortunately for many of us, we don't have the resources to perform this at the speed and scale required. Threat intel platforms are prohibitively expensive for small-to-midsize organizations, so we need to rely on more fundamental approaches.
