Omg omg omg.... breathe, marion, breathe 😱 my submission to
#HITB2019AMS
has been accepted 😱😱😱 haven't been this excited in y.e.a.r.s., and know why? I'll be talking about how to bugify innocent source code with GCC, and imposter is eating me alive but GOSH so excited 😱
Ok ok news time! With mixed feelings I've decided to move on from
@intel
. Today was officially my last day, off to a new adventure next week and already such excited 😎 The past 3 years were great, I'll miss my team and the challenges we worked on 🤟🏾
After long hesitation there will finally be a virtual BlackHoodie 🤓 COV isn't going away soon enough and I'm getting itchy. It'll be one training, 4x2h class on x86-64 RE, open to everybody, and this BlackHoodie will be dedicated to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. More details soon!
I’ve left RE more than a year ago. Instead of reading x86, now I look into how CPUs process it, and how compilers generate it, 0 regrets and omg that learning curve 🤓
Whatever you do in the States, don’t ever get sick. Insurance or not, what’s called health care here is so desperately broken, as observed by a European.

2018 will take place in Berlin, November 16.-18. 🤩 the sweet folks from
@here
are so kind to host us, and
@barbieauglend
has already started to get everything going for edition 4. Expect us 😎
Unsolicited career advice: If you're breaking into a tech field and are about to present/speak/write something and hear "don't go too technical because xyz" - Its a trap, don't listen.
On the same note, in the past 16 months I've gotten a promotion and a raise, I got very complex assignments to dig, I got internal recognition for my work, I was asked opinions, by peers as well as senior leaders. First of my jobs with this appreciation 💟
Save the date, or rather the mornings,
@Blackhoodie_RE
Virtual is planned for Oct. 26 & 29, Nov. 2 & 5 from 8 to 10am Pacific Time. It will be an Introduction to x86-64 Reverse Engineering, free for anyone to attend. Official announcement and registration to come next week \m/
Vegas week anxiety is a thing. Stay hydrated, get your sleep, and when youre peopled out remember it's ok to ghost. I know I'm not your mum, but the strip is literally designed to suck the life out of you, and a million people all wanting to network are bound to drive one nuts.
If you're female and thinking about submitting to
#BHUSA
, I'd be happy to provide an extra pair of eyes on the topic and help you get your submission in shape! CFP is now open and we expect another record number of submissions
Some folks keep being disappointed they didn't get into
@maddiestone
s Android Reverse Engineering class in Austria in December, and I keep telling em to worry not, its available online to consume at their convenience. And how awesome is that??
I’ll regret this. Murica, your wine sucks. Your cheese sucks, your bread sucks, your meat sucks. There’s reasons to prevent your corps to sell that stuff to Europe.
On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change!
Registration for

in Berlin is officially closed since we have around three times the number of ladies registered than we can host 🤩 this is plain amazing 😎
Wow.
#Blackhoodie17
will have a little pre conference, a second workshop track, badges, a printed program, a logo, think also stickers :D and non of this was my work, we have an organization committee now! And bunch of presenters and trainers and 60ish attendees. Cant. Wait.
Recommended to watch, not only for iPhone jailbreak enthusiasts, also touches boot security, mitigation discussion and gives general exploitation insights. "What's in a Jailbreak? Hacking the iPhone: 2014 - 2019" - keynote at BSides Canberra by

A ridiculously nice 20 piece introduction to linkers: - unlike to solve your specific linker problems, should you have any, but regardless totally recommended resource!
Reverse engineering is a skill that seems to be sought after a lot, but barely anyone I'm aware of who knows how to do it really is reverse engineering a lot. Including myself. Conundrum much?
Dad & me made this when I was little, he was a leather artist and monkey island fan. He made a handbag out of it and gave it to me, and isnt it the coolest handbag on earth..
Super excited to deliver the keynote next Friday at
@NotPinkCon
🤩 I'll speak about all things I ever thought were fun; reverse engineering malware, incident response, compiler internals, CPU internals and reverse engineering libfuzzer cause.. $reasons 🤓
It’s been a month with AWS Security 🤓 Not to get too excited too quick, but I _love_ it! My team is fabulous, lots of challenges and things to learn, very open communicative crew I found myself in, fast paced environment. And, might be relocating next year 😁

continues blowing my mind, the people list is at an all time high of over 90 and I keep telling myself it will be fiiine 😶 also, the orgs team is doing a magnificent job, we got badges, we got stickers, we got a schedule; the trainers are prepping for 7 classes ..

we didn't have one travel grant, or two, but thanks to
@Google
we could cover all seven requested travel grants, enabling candidates from EU, US and Africa to attend!
So I'm mostly taking a break from Twitter, for various reasons won't do any public speaking in the near future. Focusing on work, and here's this other thing that I'll be heavily invested in this summer; wish my collar bones the best of luck!
I'm on the autism spectrum and I'm learning about it, and the more I read the more I understand that I've been trying to be neurotypical all my conscious life. Its called masking, and it's exhausting af.
If you’re bummed you don’t get to go to
#Blackhoodie18
I feel ya, it IS a lot of fun. But fear not, learning can be done elsewhere too, here is the nicest malware/RE/exploitation tuts
#BlackHoodie
grew up so quickly 😅 growing big wasn't the plan, but to be honest there never was an actual plan 🤷♀️ by now most bootcamps are run by others, and hopefully by 2020 /me will just kick back & watch the world burn 🤓

Curiosity, and forgive me I'm utterly uneducated on the subject and been out of the all things threats field for a while now, but how much do we know about Iranian cyber capabilities? Any good reads on that?
I'm compiling my compiler, so I can compile my compiler plugin with said compiler, to then compile my compiler test with said compiler running said compiler plugin. For realz.
Registration for BlackHoodie @ ReCon is going slow - does it help if I say we got funding to get every attendee a ReCon ticket? We offer two free RE trainings for women, and want to get as many as possible to

too. Pls tell your friends 😊
Another trip that I cancelled 2018 in the interest of health is the one home for Christmas 😕 But, mum and grandma worked together on sending me this huge box of cookies, home productions 😍😋

Baby's out 😍 here goes "Randpoline: A Software Mitigation for Branch Target Injection" - a co-op among a number of really smart ppl, in & outside Intel; uberproud to have contributed a lil! An oh look theres a sample GCC plugin 😶
This year's favorite talk! Details on bug, exploit dev, mitigation bypass, discussion on dead ends, reliability estimates, accompanied by hardening measures and how Microsoft is working on eradicating such issues
