I have just put out a new blog discussing improving my use of a local LLM to find a list of weak passwords - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #oracleacepro #sym_42 #ai #oracle #database #security #llm #rag

As part of a forensic analysis of a breached Oracle database we can make use of date/timestamp data to help create a timeline of events - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #database #security #forensics #timeline

I just received the goodies from the Oracle Ace Program for my Oracle ACE Pro membership / recognition. Thanks to Oracle and the program - #oracleace #oracleacepro #sym_42 #oracle #database #security

Following on from my comparison of Oracle security with AI, I have taken that further to think about protecting data used in AI and auditing that data and changes to the AI itself - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #ai #llm #sovereign #aisecurity

I have just released a new blog post looking at data security in AI and is it similar to Oracle security - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #ai #llm #oracle #database #security

I did a test with 6 local LLMs to see if i could get a list of the top 100 weakest passwords for use in an Oracle Apex Password cracker - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #ai #sovereignty #llm #local #dataprotection

What are clusters in the Oracle database and how can we find out the details of clusters in the meta data - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... -#oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #forensics #database #security #internals #clusters

I did an experiment with 3 different Large Language Models asking them to generate some PL/SQL encryption code - results here - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #ai #llm #qwen3-coder #plsql #oracle #security #generate #code

I have been playing with a local LLMs on a mac. Here are some thoughts on AI and using with Oracle Security - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #ai #llm #localllm #oracle #security

50 years ago today; my friend Paul and I stopped an express train from crashing as we saw that an axle end had snapped off one carriage. We got the train stopped before it was going full speed so no one was hurt. It was major news and we got a medal! - #train #crash #averted
