"Peter Thiel says, you have to be contrarian but right to be an entrepreneur.
So, you have to be comfortable looking stupid for a long time.
When I was calling those banks and saying, "Hey, we're a crypto company. We want to do this," they would hang up on me.
Or I'd go pitch the 30th venture investor and get a no.
Or the thousandth employee we tried to hire or whatever.
We're willing to be misunderstood for a long time.
And then you slowly start to have these breakthroughs.
If you look at Uber, they were fighting for a decade to just be like, yeah, it's actually better and safer than a cab — and the entrenched interests were fighting them.
Or Airbnb with the hotels.
Self-driving cars.
Everything that's truly innovative and breakthrough is going to upset an entrenched incumbent, eventually intersect with the government, and just piss off some segment of the population who are like...
"How dare you question the status quo."

The BadCAM research has been published! Why is this significant? Attackers can now weaponize connected USB peripherals that run Linux and do not validate firmware signatures.

If you use llamafile, llama.cpp, llama-cpp-python, Oobabooga, LMStudio or any other software that exposes llama.cpp grammar sampling, I found a few remotely exploitable bugs triggered through a single web request that got patched today. More to come from my work at @Eclypsium

Added #downfall detection via content update
10 Aug 2023
A recent update to the Eclypsium platform allows customers to detect one of the latest hardware attacks against Intel processors dubbed "Downfall." Downfall allows attackers to steal data from other processes, such as cryptographic keys. Fixes are available for certain platforms.

Hundreds of models of Gigabyte motherboards, used in gaming and other high-performance computers, have a backdoor in their firmware that invisibly downloads code to the machine at startup—and does so insecurely, leaving the feature open to abuse. wired.com/story/gigabyte-mot…

Attention anyone having an MSI motherboard or computer. MSI just said they were hacked and attackers might have tried modifying BIOS and software updates.
Disable all updates from MSI for the time being

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of our friend and mentor, @aloria. Kelly had an indomitable spirit, and our world is a bit darker without her.

It's no surprise that supply chain security has become a top national priority. In its recently-published SP 1800-34, NIST hones in on one of the most important, challenging aspects of #supplychainsecurity — devices. Here, we highlight the key takeaways. bit.ly/3J5NRFj
