I enjoyed this little exchange :)

don't forget Sirens of Titan!

as a pentester at a Fortune 500: I think you're on the mark with this assessment. Most of our findings (internally) are "best practices"-tier stuff (make sure to use TLS 1.2, cloud…

Respectfully (not trying to be pedantic but helpful): it's "cease" not "seize" in this context :)

Please count me in if these ever gets going -- I'm a relatively recent transplant (moved here 2 years ago) but found it very easy to plug into the local security scene (Black Lodge…

RIP. If I may share a memory: I still remember visiting Jungfrau Park with my parents on a vacation to Switzerland back in 2005; as a scifi-leaning kid even back then (4th/5th grad…

Added all of these to my Goodreads -- as an Indian, I had no idea that these books existed. Great article (with some really cool UI choices); I'm looking forward to reading more fr…

Thanks for sharing! I always love looking at the hand-painted advertisements when I'm back in India. I almost never see it in the cities these days (billboards have taken over), bu…

This is a very tangential comment, but I read the short story ( https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8eh2woz05ndfxinbf9vdh/Goldfis... ) and loved it (took me around 15 minutes to read). …

Good luck Vivek, this looks really nice! I was in Bangalore for the first time this Feb and had a great time. You should check out Mecca cafe, it's thoda grimy but a total vibe.

huh...til that Raya exists

I genuinely can’t remember having laughed at well written prose in a long time, thanks for sharing [0]. OP is gold too. Takes me back to my high school days when I would have to ch…

Come to Harry's on 15th on Thursdays (8:30 pm + ). It's where the local hackers (2600 and DEFCON crowd) usually hang out and socialize. Ask Will (the bartender, who's great) for th…

https://gwern.net/ is my standard for a great blog experience. Their design philosophy ( https://gwern.net/about ) is right up my alley.

I think that's too granular and is dependent on the apps offering Face ID as a secondary-layer authentication flow -- I think OP is suggesting an entirely different user profile th…

I just wanted to add that your writing style is wonderful and that this was a pleasure to read. Incidentally, I work in pentesting, and one of my colleagues has Type 1 Diabetes; yo…

Hi, I took some time to use Caido. I really like it, especially the ability to switch between projects. I also thought the UX that introduces users to the application was well-done…

this actually feels like a lightweight feature-rich wrapper, unlike Burp (which I really love btw, not hating on it) which can cause my computer to slow down noticeably with extens…

Hi, just wanted to say that I walked through this and it's really neat. I'm running it all through WSL on a reasonably powerful laptop (ASUS G14) and performance has been buttery s…

Interesting, wasn't aware that there were Burp alternatives being worked on. I'm going to play with both of these to see how they compare. Thanks to both you and OP for sharing!

"viva" in India

great point

This is exactly how I feel, and you put it very well. The one nice thing (to be fair, there's probably others but I haven't used it very long) about Win 11 is that your external mo…

AVP 1 is actually one of my guiltiest pleasures :) -- it scratches a lot of my scifi-horror itches (mysterious originator civilization that was seeded with ideas like architecture …

I remember reading this piece a while ago; excellently written. Thanks for sharing it again and stimulating my nostalgia!
