Exciting research by @Inutza16 , @TomChothia @icboureanu, Chris Newton Li Chen, practical_emv.gitlab.io @IEEESSP 2022 -- frontpage news: bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…. Part of Timetrust, a project funded by @NCSC , with @UniOfSurrey @SCCS_UniSurrey , @unibirmingham @UoB_SecPriv

Using Python's machine learning library, I whipped up a quick election model. I ran the model 40,000 times, and in each simulation, the string "hello world!" printed on the screen and nothing else.

Presented a novel methodology of improving protocol specifications by modelling attacks, joint work with Jose Moreira, @TomChothia, and @MarkDRyan "Modelling of Attacks on 802.11 4-way Handshake and Analysis of Security Properties" at STM2020 @ESORICS2020 iit.cnr.it/stm2020/

@gianluca_string Always include a live demo. Also, there should be a non-trivial chance that the demo will go horribly wrong, this helps keep students engaged.

Here our the top 3 teams from our second What the CTF! Thank you so much to everyone who took part and a HUUUGE thanks to: Andreea, James, Justin, Kit, Tom, Richard, Connor and Louis for making it happen.

Had a great time talking about #digitaldeath to the wonderful group @UoB_SecPriv ! Got some provocative and useful questions too. Thanks @Inutza16 for hosting me!

@01CGAT Yes, I'm pretty sure I have the code somewhere, I'll DM you.

Some *very* exciting news! 🥁 We are so incredibly proud to announce that we have won the @tryhackme Women in Security prize, sponsored by @CTXIS ! It's so great to see the number of women growing in our hacking club!

Good evening spent on a secure coding CTF by @OWASPBirmingham and @SecCodeWarrior ! 4/4 placed in top10 players 🙈🐵

First session of the term, what a great turnout! Excited to see so many people interested in cyber security! Happy hacking! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Today I'm speaking at ATM & Cyber Security 2019 rbrlondon.com/conferences/ac… I've just seen a great talk on "hacking" ATMs using high explosives!

@cmcmstone: one to add to your state machine work?

We've had an amazing year and you can read all about it in our end of term update! birmingham.ac.uk/university/col… If you enjoyed being a part of #AFNOM or participating in any of the CTF competitions, including our very own #WTCTF, please nominate us for the EPS Societies' Awards! 🐵

Our work (@_EduardMarin_ @TomChothia et al) on Medtronic Implantable Cardiac Devices has triggered a FDA safety alert: fda.gov/MedicalDevices… medtronic.com/content/dam/me…

This Saturday there is a CTF organised by Birmingham students!

@bravo_fighter NXP's Proximity Check, on their DESFire smart cards, is the only widely implemented DB protocol I know of. 3db Access (3db-access.com) also seem to be working on some interesting stuff. I don't know if either does demo kits.

@TomChothia I am wondering if anyone has actually inplemented a secure distance bounding solution and have evaluation kits available？

Today I'll present our Phishing Teaching Framework at #ASE18. This VM lets students try out spear phishing attacks against a simulated company bit.ly/2Mcvsff

@TomChothia @halfdoof I know you'd do the same for me
