Honoured to be the first speaker of this year's @WEareTROOPERS right after the keynote and talking about my journey in reverse engineering the DUOX PLUS protocol.
The audience was great, thank you for all the questions! :)
My warm congratulations to the "billionaires shouldn't exist" crowd. Today marks the day when we finally lose one of the billionaires as he enters a trillionaire status.
3427 #billionaires to go.

Related to my earlier retweet.
I'm looking to evaluate incorporation of #AI into my #reverseengineering practices. To do that I'd like a tutorial.
Now, how would one find tutorials online (text or video) which are expert-led and not composed by AI in these troubling times?
BACK IN MY DAY, AI STOOD FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRSTOR, AND WE HATED THAT TOO
The internet was a mistake. Let’s move on.
In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.
While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.
Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.
This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.
If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.

Oh, I’m already loving the malware potential here.
A special thanks: two persons at #BSidesLuxembourg2026 brought an extreme amount of laughs and engagement, only one of whom is on here:
@stijn Tomme -> his Escape room “dismantle the bomb” was an absolute blast of a experience (reportedly, I MUST try this myself someday)
And @k arranged the after party social event “Security impress karaoke”, which together with the impromptu jury consisting of Wendy Nather Evangéline Duval and Kat Fitzgerald brought life to 24 daring speakers and randomly generated presentations. The winner was found in a close race, with Marina Bochenkova coming out on top and @g and other great performers close behind!
These are built to very rigorous automotive standards. For example, the tires are not supposed to fall off.

"I'm not the bank. You're the bank."
"None of this matters.You're all gonna get compromised anyway."
Security Impress Karaoke at #BSidesLuxembourg was tons of fun.
"Hey Daddy, is that an AI tree?"
"Uh, it's a cell phone tower that's designed to blend in with the trees, but I think it's been there a while...probably before generative models were involved in designing things like that."
"But it's not a REAL tree. It's AI."
"What does AI mean to you?"
"It means it's not real, like, not the real thing. It just looks real but it's not really real."
"You mean fake?"
"What does fake mean?"
I have been toying with this idea for #privacy-friendly user #age #verification for years now.
Time delays. You register and account. The account gets frozen for 18 years. The account gets unlocked and you're verified.
If the Safety chapter in a Wikipedia article on a sport starts with a link to a list of fatalities, is that a relatively safe sport?
