Towards the next generation of XNU memory safety: kalloc_type security.apple.com/blog/towa…
I’m so happy that the team finally gets to share the details of this huge effort. And I’m so proud I had the chance to work on it in the past couple of years. :)

Recommend listening to the chilling "Baraye" song by #ShervinHajipour, now an anthem for Iranian protests. It captures the sentiment of the uprising above & beyond mandatory hijab.
There's also an excellent version in English at youtu.be/HCUfgHHkLcA

1. The single best way to understand Iran's uprising is not any book or essay, but Shervin Hajipour's 2m anthem "Baraye" which garnered over 40m views in 48h (before he was imprisoned). Its profundity requires multiple views. x.com/BBCArdalan/status/1575… (Translation by @BBCArdalan)

While the vast majority of users will never be the victims of highly targeted cyberattacks, Apple will work tirelessly to protect the small number of users who are. I’m deeply proud of our next steps, including a groundbreaking feature: Lockdown Mode. apple.com/newsroom/2022/07/a…

The steps Apple is taking today will send a clear message: in a free society, it is unacceptable to weaponize powerful state-sponsored spyware against innocent users and those who seek to make the world a better place.

This is honestly one of the wilder stories I’ve read in a while, like a @DarknetDiaries tale.

We’re heading north for our next #TrueForensics thriller. In the shadow of a physical compromise, @tomituominen retraces the attacker’s steps. And with every layer that gets pulled back, another mystery surfaces >> f-secure.com/en/consulting/o…

Comsecuris will be looking for interns for March 2021 and summer 2021. Remote is definitely a possibility, but we want our interns to be in the same time zone, ideally in Germany.

I'm not that great a chess player, but a pretty good hacker...so after watching The Queen's Gambit I of course put my skills to great use and found a board setup I could give to a chess engine to have it segfault when it tries to search for the next best move...
take that
