Henlo frens. I am back after a sabbatical. If you're at #CyberconMelb25, you can catch me talking about what we learned by analysing the results of 2,500 pentests at 14:50 in room 212 today melbourne2025.cyberconference.com.au/sessions/ses...

Just another day on the Internet with an apostrophe in my surname. GG broadcom

I love this sign. Sharp. Crisp. Clear. A work of art 😍

Harsh. But fair.

The logo of the bus company I'm using. Perfection.

Thank you! 😊

The improvement that some upgraded lighting makes to image quality is huge.
Pic 1: Overhead light. Head looks like a full moon, shadows all over face, no background separation.
Pic 2: Key light + fill light. Skintones look much more natural and healthy. Added a blue LED at the guitar just for fun

Deep state? More like derp state

The current economic bloodbath from the Trump tariffs is a good argument against the world/US being run by a shadowy conspiracy of the uber rich. They're all losing tons of money for no benefit. This whole thing is being engineered by a small group of economically illiterate clowns close to Trump

Here's a tip for people who are watching what's happening in the markets and wondering if they should "buy the dip" - you can quite often find a large 1kg tub of hummus for only a dollar or two more than the 200g dip-sized tubs. It's much better value.

Some insights: Three root causes are responsible for nine in ten findings. Industries that rely on Operational Technology (OT) – like healthcare and transport – have higher rates of severe findings. The detailed report is available here (email required to download): cybercx.com.au/resource/hac...

Today my team released a report which draws on a year of pentest data - 2,500 engagements for 800 customers. 26,000 individual findings. We analysed this data to look for the root causes of the most common high-risk issues, and compared issues across industries.

This is admittedly a semantic argument, but i'm strongly of the opinion that there's no such thing as "Automated Pentesting". Even with the latest AI, these tools can't compete with what a human Pentester can do. Unfortunately, "Spicy Vuln Scanning" is less likely to catch on as an industry term

Tate is like Trump in this sense: the most grotesque thing is not that he exists, but that he’s hugely popular, and what that says about us as a species.

The Australian parliament has this too. We even have an odd name for these questions - "Dorothy Dixers" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy...

International World Standards Day is 14/10 (14 Oct) *

* Except in the US, when World Standards Day is 11/14 (14 Nov)

Very hard to tell who to believe here 🤔

The Australian hacker scene lost a real one. This legend was always there, sharing knowledge, jokes, mischief and comradery.

The "how was your day?" vs "tell me something crazy that happened today" works well for me... with my 4 year old
