Anyone I know working for Cisco? Talos has flagged my blog as "hacking", and it is being blocked on a network I was using. Very rude. Ticket 21804364.

Chat, why did I just buy 50 micro SD cards?

Tell Sam Altman I have about a terabyte of RAM at my home. It's mine. To use as I please. I'm well aware it's not efficient. That's not the point. The point is privacy and autonomy, to conduct my affairs without monitoring or interference by fascists.

Maybe I should buy a goat farm.

I put $20 in a vending machine to buy a cookie. I figured, worst case, I'll get a bunch of dollar coins. Right? Right!?

No. There was at least one dollar coin in there, but mostly quarters. I'm pretty sure I saw a nickel too.

Just to be clear, I am currently dumping elliptic curve keys from the tls certificate transparency logs, and will then be running an optimized mass-cracker tool that I'll use to check a few trillion weak private keys against the entire set simultaneously using sparse bloom filters.

The scanner (which is being heavily cribbed from my mass cryptocurrency key cracker "brainflayer") should be able to scan hundreds of thousands if not millions of keys per curve per second per core.

I am not aware of anyone else having previously done this, so hold on to your butts.

dump-P-256.x32.bin: 496,099,869 unique keys

I have a couple hundred million in-the-wild ECDSA public keys for reasons that nobody should be at all concerned about.

How the fuck did a CA manage to leak their private keys and where can I get a copy?

For the record, this wasn't even deliberate nerd sniping.

What is the collective noun for a group of enbies?

#nonbinary #enby

Chat, there are numerous enbies on my sofa, how should I handle this situation?

Anyone remember WEP, the original encryption scheme for WiFi?

"W" did not stand for "WiFi" or "Wireless".
"E" did not stand for "Encryption".
"P" did not stand for "Protocol".

The acronym was actually "Wired Equivalent Privacy", which, given how badly broken it was, is hilarious.

I want to run a "worst ASN" poll, please provide nominations. I'll start.

AS9009

If I were an chaotic overlord, not only would all Ethernet ports in my lair be PoE-enabled, but they would also be capable of delivering three-phase 400VAC to unauthorized devices. Like my toaster.

I tried to fascinate my partner with a piece of cheese. It did not work. I WAS MISLED!

DEAD DON'T
DOVE EAT

I exploded a capacitor due to making poor choices with color coding of wires.

Hey chat, if I nmap -sP my home network, how many IPs will respond?

HN: Several vulnerabilities found in the Linux kernel.
Me: Yes it's a day ending in 'Y'.
