Are Aussie teens really being kept off social media? 🤔 I just shared my experience with the new social media ban. The data so far is surprising. Parents: share yours too 👇 stillnotbanned.social #socialmediaban

Oh dear. X.com's new anti-bot solution seems to be struggling under the pressure...

🔥 Just scored 190 points (Expert level) on our Bot Detection Challenge Built this as internal training - turned out way more fun than expected Think you can beat my score? It's trickier than it looks 👀 Accuracy speed both count, just like real systems is-it-a-bot.vercel.app/

I was reading a HN post about a new Chrome header `x-browser-validation` that appeared in the wild. The quality of the discussion is just absolutely abysmal, but it turns out to be quite interesting: - I first tried to validate if the post is actually talking about something real and the answer is: Not really. At least not generally. You can easily validate by going to any[See below] website and check devtools. - Chrome does NOT actually generally send a new header called x-browser-validation (a lonely commenter on HN realized this but was ignored) - However, knowing Google quite well, I was like: “Maybe it is real, but they only send it to their own properties” - Turns out that is right. google.com and youtube.com (at the very least) actually do get the header - Can it be used for tracking? Not really, it’s sha1(userAgent hardCodedAPIKeyThatIsNowOnGithub) - Can it be used for validating real browsers? No, cause, like, it’s a hard coded value - What is it for then: My guess is that this is used to remove noise from experimentation that happens during Chrome version and potentially feature roll out. It must be a use case where there is more accidental spoofing than malicious activity

CAPTCHA vendors are pivoting to invisible options by throwing an invisibility cloak over their old systems. No matter how they turn and style it, the cloak doesn't fit. True invisible protection needs to be built from the ground up. #CyberSecurity #BotDetection #CAPTCHA

so, you think you know your captchas hey? I built a tool on @vercel to test your knowledge know-your-captcha.vercel.app… Match the captcha vendor to their "frictionless" human interaction.

@github I'm unable to access GitHub support because the Arkose CAPTCHA returns a 400 Bad Request error every time. I also cannot send an email to support@github.com (it's blocked). My username is Yukkurisiteikitai. How can I get support?

For those that are interested, I've posted about my recent departure from Kasada here: linkedin.com/posts/nick-rien… It's been a wild ride, but it's time to do something different. With all the AI stuff happening it just feels like the right time. thanks @InfoSecSam for all the fun times....

ok #sneakertwitter it's phone a friend time again. I've been going deep with AI tools lately (Claude / Cursor gang represent 🤖) Curious what you're all using them for? 👇 (not gathering Kasada intel - genuinely curious about AI impact)

Only 1 day left on this poll. I've just spent the day with one of my teams and we identified 5 different ways to significantly improve our productivity. Keen to get a broader perspective. For those at college =this has to be have a radical impact on how you work???

My experience is that the guard rails on Claude are reasonably malleable. That’s true for most atm
