We didn't really post here during the event but DEFCON CTF Quals just concluded and LiveCTF was part of it with a new concept. Check out our website livectf.com/ to find links to all the recap streams we did and witness the chaotic bird training action!
I'm optimistic we can create _some_ type of knowledge-based security-related community activity but traditional online jeopardy-style CTF as a competitive format is on its deathbed and this video hurts. Big love to the community that has meant the world to me the past 11 years!
Really proud of this year's edition of @livectf! And it seems to actually generate some interesting problems to solve for the teams. Next stream is in 40 min. Check it out!
If you aren't playing DEFCON CTF quals this weekend (heck, even if you are) and you want to see what's going on, check out LiveCTF!

Carl Svensson (@zetatwo) is bringing Age of Empires II Definitive Edition to RE//verse 2026 as a playground for tooling. This talk walks through Binary Ninja automation to decrypt and deobfuscate game code and a BNIL query system for matching obfuscated instruction patterns. If you like game reversing you will want to see this talk: shop.binary.ninja/collection…
LOL. I got emailed by some site building "open source profiles" for hiring, scraping GitHub and adding some things on top. You can opt out in your profile and they'll delete your page. The catch? There's no auth at all. Anyone can go and delete me here: algora.io/profile/ZetaTwo
A few articles from the @pagedout_zine #7 that I found interesting:
* Disassembling with LLVM: using LLVM API for disassembling.
* Obfuscating Crypto Constants: generating crypto constants in runtime.
* Turning a GCC anti-debug trick into a LCE
Easy and quick to read :D
Seems like there's been a slightly generous interpretation of the numbers but regardless it's really cool to see how well represented Sweden is in gaming.
Games made in Sweden stood for 20% of the revenue on Steam in 2025.
Pretty impressive considering Sweden’s size of 10 million inhabitants.

The Red Bull Wololo: Londinium logo is centered in front of icon London architecture at twilight under a cloudy sky, with wooden sailing ships crossing the Thames River beneath Tower Bridge while villagers, monks, and other units watch on the shore. A shiny Red Bull can covered in condensation is positioned in the lower right.

ALT A graphic celebrating the sixth anniversary of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. The game's retail key art is centered on a black marble background, with six characters from different DLC releases arranged in front of it. From left to right: Lysander from Chronicles: Battle for Greece, Alexander from Chronicles: Alexander the Great, Liu Bei from The Three Kingdoms, Tamar from The Mountain Royals, Oda Nobunaga from Victors and Vanquished, and Trajan from Return of Rome. A partially transparent black background outlined by golden bars reads: "Thank you for playing!" while flaming sparks float in the background behind it.
Accidentally switched from the "following" to the "for you" tab in Twitter, big mistake. Just posts from people who are angry, mean or both. It's truly depressing how toxic (a large portion of) social media has become. Is this how it will stay or is there any way back?
