    Sam is a very famous security researcher, so I would be shocked if he wasn’t making upwards of $350,000 a year. These articles he writes make him a significant amount of money via …

    This appears to be what happens when rich people that don’t need houses buy them anyway as investments. There should be laws preventing a person from owning more than three houses …

    Yahoo returns thousands of results for dorking queries where Kagi and Google return an identical list of 5-6 results. Pretty disappointing for me as a paying customer to learn that…

    Weeks after defcon, I saw they had a job listing asking for someone with Bluetooth experience and experience preventing denial of service attacks. Sounds like they finally hired so…

    Lucidrains also created the much-missed EpicMafia, which still doesn’t have a good replacement after shutting down. Exceptionally skilled person!

    i don’t feel that this is true in the slightest. so many critical exploits use the same characters and lengths as intended inputs. Also, if firewalls were a replacement for secure …

    I don’t think it is. Microsoft has a track record for delaying fixes and marking important issues as “not a bug”, so I’m less impressed with their security. As terrible a corporati…

    While I generally agree with this, it totally misses the mark by leaving out Chrome. As long as Chrome dominates the web, Google stays on top

    I have yet to hear a convincing threat model for this actually representing a vulnerability. I don’t think there is one.
