(Modern Shellcode Implant Design) - More advanced shellcode hashing includes inserting hashing entropy. This is a great blog post () It’s more difficult but we have something for that as well. 👍🛡️☠️ @C5pider

It’s very early, but putting first version of Karma-X’s HappyCamper on Github. It stops adversaries using Powershell. I value any and all feedback. It just demonstrates a concept that is under explored. Can you get around it? Of course, but that requires code, and they don’t

@JoeCarlasare The reason is, they take $20,000 and invest it, very unlikely to change their life. Even $200,000. A double is real money but to them at any given time they see/feel the time/labor cost of that $200,000. Sports is a bread and circuses distraction around since long ago.

@davidicke Bro thinks current corporate power is derived from profits. No, there is a merger between state and chosen corporations. Reduce the power of the state, break up monopolies with “state-like” power, and you have the rise of free market capitalism.

Geoffrey Hinton is right. So-called open sourcing of the biggest models is completely crazy. As AI models become more capable they should become increasingly useful in bioweapons production and for use in large-scale cyber attacks that could cripple critical infrastructure.

The former head of the NSA being on the board of OpenAI should make you cringe, not just at the spying aspects which are alarming, but at the possibility of inserting subtle backdoors or bugdoors into any code they want that transits their platform.
