Continuously learning about computer security through research and development.
It's official. No hacker summer for me due to family health complications. I will miss everyone but hope you have a great (and safe) time!! ❤️
I'm proud to announce that myself and @AtipriyaBajaj have created the Workshop on Software Understanding and Reverse Engineering (SURE), which will be co-located at CCS 2025. sure-workshop.org/ Please follow our workshop account @sureworkshop and RT it for visibility :).

Does using Rust really make your software safer? - Blog - Tweede golf
We keep saying that Rust is how we make software safer. In this blog, we'll tackle a real-world vulnerability, 'rewrite it in Rust', and show you the results of our empirical research, both as a h ...

I'm proud to announce that I, through my company @magnetitesec.bsky.social, donated to the Redox OS project! If you're not familiar, Redox OS is a pure Rust Micro kernel based operating system. This donation allows them to sponsor one additional student for their Summer of Code!
I played @defcon.bsky.social CTF quals with @shellphish.bsky.social this year! I'm really impressed with the difficulty levels Nautilus Institute put forth. Making CTF challenges in the AI era has... special considerations... but they nailed it :-) Thanks to everyone involved for a great weekend!
There is a small bug in the signature verification of OTA packages in the Android Open Source Framework. Official builds doing normal double verification of packages are not vulnerable but OEMs and third party apps may be. Jérémy Jourdois explains it here: blog.quarkslab.com/aosp_ota_sig...

Happy to share my slides from BOOTSTRAP25. Unfortunately the bug discussed is still not patched in Linux 6.14.0 despite it being reported explicitly. Slides are in markdown but there's a PDF in "releases" too github.com/jduck/bs25-s...

The sedexp Linux malware was disclosed in late 2024. In my talk at @kernelcon.bsky.social, I will present my own deep dive of the malware, including many parts that have not been made public, such as loading of a memory-only rootkit. Be sure to attend for a teardown with @volatilityfoundation.org 3!
Last week I attended Vector35 @re-verse.io RE//verse conference and it was great! Excellent food, high signal to noise (RE/VR), and great people. I scored some amazing schwag including a SIM transposer and a @binaryninja.bsky.social hacky sack! w00t!
On March 29th, I will be speaking at @bsidessd.bsky.social on Volatility 3, including all its new features and plugins. Be sure to attend to catch a sneak peak at the new framework before the major release later this Spring! www.bsidessd.org #DFIR #infosec
Digital vs film X-ray . Film offers higher resolution and better dynamic range with the same settings, but slightly longer exposure time (and more tedious image acquisition). Comes in handy when it comes to tiny electronics. Images of an Abbott Lingo continuous glucose monitor.
BlackHoodie will be back at @ringzer0.bsky.social Bootstrap conference in Austin, TX 🤠 On Friday March 21st I'll be teaching Compiler Internals for Security Engineers, a class for women by women, and it's free. Register here blackhoodie.re/Ringzer0_Boo...

It is EXTREMELY cool to me that: * Use of Rust on Embedded platforms is such a high percentage of the ecosystem (16.8% bare metal, 12.9% with an OS) * The usage is increasing year over year Check out the survey results! blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/13/2...
I'm trying to think of a good way to flex Poststation as a demo for the embedded world booth. Does anyone have ideas of fun, interactive, and maybe mind bending things to have 8-16 independent MCUs do? I plan to fit it all into a eurorack case, as individual cards/modules.
I did the podcast thing! It was great fun chatting with Matthias Endler on his “Rust in Production” podcast. We talked about our little Rust based ECU at Volvo Cars and how it came about. Check it out: corrode.dev/podcast/s03e...
