I’m thrilled to share my latest blog post! This one focuses on the bug hunting process: inspiration, approach, and execution. I also provide a retrospective on how the bug was introduced and analyze the insufficient “patch”. Check it out: securityintelligence.com/x-f…

In the wake of the CrowdStrike crash event, some interesting articles have been published that explore some perspectives of security vendors in the Windows kernel. I penned a blog for another perspective. @Sean_Endicott_ @happygeek @AndrewWrites fieldeffect.com/blog/the-bra…

My take on this: “… appears to be starting a conversation about…” is corporate speak for “there’s nothing we can do about this and we’re waiting this out”. There’s currently no alternative to running Windows EDRs in kernel mode and there’s not going to be one any time soon.
via @verge – due to the recent CrowdStrike incident Microsoft is discussing migrating security products away from the Windows kernel and into other spaces such as VBS Enclaves or Microsoft Azure Attestation CrowdStrike accidentally leveled the playing field for Threat Actors

After over a decade in cybersecurity I sometimes forget that a lot of tech probably has never heard of Crowdstrike (as is now apparent by all the posts) You’ve probably also not heard of @fieldeffectsoft so here is your chance (no I don’t work for them) fieldeffect.com/blog/recover…

Maybe companies shouldn’t have gotten rid of QA teams because “devs can write unit tests and that’s basically the same thing”?

The cynic in me is saying that if you are a secret agent on a counterterrorism mission, it's kinda your job not to have your secret equipment confiscated by the mall cop on the segway, so I think the lady doth protest too much. (Random subtweet)

This happened. It turns out maintaining consistency at 4x-6x the previous volume is a really hard problem. Honestly, a misc CVE field is the least of my worries- inconsistencies in what's considered an "Important" vulnerability is what keeps me up at night 🥲
