I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Serious question: how do people buy cars without spending weeks at it? Do you roll into dealerships and just yeet the cash at them?

Took me 3 hours to finally agree that kubernetes will do anything for Node Autoscaling based on available resources ... But it won't do THAT.

This was 2600 meeting last night. It's getting overwhelming when you look closely

I have ChatGPT instrumenting Claude so I can failover when it hits its rate limits. And I feel like that's what you're _supposed_ to do.

Very late on getting this video out the door, but a teeny weeny showcase of the recent Docker for Desktop on Windows & MacOS container escape, CVE-2025-9074 -- proof of concept was included so a simple demo of arbitrary file write & file read on the host: youtu.be/dTqxNc1MVLE

I'm pretty interested in this. Any else going?

Here's a writeup for a tool I released at #DEFCON Cloud Village called "pilreg". It also might help if you're playing @neutrino.bsky.social's Kubernetes CTF.

Thanks to @jon.dag.dev for teaching me about whiteout files which this tool hunts for.

Are you hooked into this yet? Container CTF is pretty awesome.
Come play in one of the two Kubernetes Capture the Flag events we're facilitating at #DEFCON 33!

Fri – Sun : Learning CTF w/ Walkthrough

Saturday: Competitive CTF

First Place Prize (for a team on-site at DEF CON) is a Bambu Labs A1 Mini 3D printer!

Chainguard let me sneak in a blog post about SLSA and secure build. There's a bunch of really smart people at this company doing cool and hard shit so here's some of it.

Hey you... want to figure out of your seccomp-bpf container profiles are secure? ssh... don't tell anyone: seccompare.com

Sometimes I tell people something was generated by AI just so they don't know how much time and effort actually went into building it.

Transportation security is a nightmare. Imagine building something for 200 years then waking up on a Friday and going "We should probably have the intern look into cyber security" and that's where we're at.
Yikes. Turns out you can send a plaintext radio signal to cause any train in the USA to do an emergency break. The original 'security' was just a checksum, no encryption or authentication. Reporting this took them 12 years (!) because the vendor dismissed it initially www.cisa.gov/news-events/...

My seccomp-diff tool is out which will extract seccomp BPF from a PID/container and let you diff it with other things.

The initial release with @neutrino.bsky.social at Shmoocon was more of a POC. More to come at #DEFCON

I won't have stickers this year for summer camp... But I will have Rochester branded swag to represent the 585.

I'm ramping up for summer camp with some new tricks I learned from a container image layer expert that happens to by my coworker. Come to my Cloud Village talk to dive in. #defcon33
