    This campaign is still ongoing. I just got an email that one of my old packages (which hasn't worked for years and was orphaned for a while) was adopted and immediately a malicious…

    That would've been a cool PoC to work on as well, but seems a fair bit more complicated than the BadUSB-style attack I ended up doing. Would've had to do a lot more RE to figure ou…

    From personal experience, there have been a few papercuts (mostly trying to figure out why runners aren't picking up jobs), but it isn't too hard to debug and the CI format is simp…

    I wish my city only had a single case like that. Unfortunately, in Tallinn, it is extremely common that a bike path is suddenly routed onto the curb, and that's when you're lucky. …

    Good question! I wasn't too concerned about this, because the only way you could even interact with the OS where the server was running was via HTTP requests, which are fairly limi…
