introducing Motion, a video agent for tasteful motion design. this launch video was made entirely with Motion. 👇🏽 comment "MOTION" to get early access + free credits. tag @motion_so in any post on your X feed for a surprise. here’s how it works + examples (thread):

@sanjivkawa @h4wkst3r @passthehashbrwn This is 🔥 @sanjivkawa

SQLRecon now supports pass-the-hash as an authentication provider across all modules! You can check it out in the latest release v4.0. This release contains several bug fixes and module additions thanks to @passthehashbrwn and jakxx. github.com/skahwah/SQLRec…

When did NIST start calling Red Teaming “black hat testing”?

@curi0usJack @hyprwm I’ve considered a test that involves dialing a rotary phone

@hyprwm 😂😂 well done.

Due to legal pressure, Hyprland will be adding an age verification system in the upcoming 0.55 release. On first launch, users will be asked a few questions about popular memes to estimate their generation, e.g. MLG, 67, Skibidi Rizz, or Kilroy was here.

I’ve been grinding hard on AI for the better part of the last 8+ months - learning, building, adapting, and pulling late nights just like so many others right now. Cutting through the FUD and hype, there is real potential here. Industry-breaking potential. The era we’ve been waiting for - to finally supercharge and develop the tools and platforms we’ve wanted to build for years - is here, and agent assistance is accelerating everything. With coding agents, I’ve built solid tools and had research breakthroughs that would have taken weeks or months before. These should feel like real wins worth celebrating. But honestly? I don’t feel victorious. In many ways, it just feels necessary to keep pace. As Dave said: adapt or be left behind - and for good reason. I’m not ready to be left behind. But damn, I’m tired. I’m tired of constantly reinventing myself. Tired of constantly re-tooling. Tired of the endless cycle of keeping up, the late nights, and the personal sacrifices that come with it. I’ve even lost the desire to share knowledge and research with the community the way I used to. From the conversations I’ve had, I’m far from alone - many others in this space feel the same but don’t necessarily vocalize it outside of smaller circles. Is it because I see AI purely as a threat? Not really. The offensive side of our industry has been heading this way for a while, and I’ve been moving with it. The truth is, the excitement Dave describes is real - but for me right now, it’s mixed with exhaustion. I’m grateful for the breakthroughs, yet I catch myself wondering how long I can sustain this level of constant reinvention without something giving. The early-2000s energy is back, sure… but so is the burnout that often came with it. Being a bit older now, with young kids at home, the pace hits differently. I don’t have the same endless energy I once did, and the late nights and constant context-switching carry a heavier weight. Finding balance is tough, but it feels more important than ever. Hopefully we can all figure out how to ride this wave more sustainably - without burning out in the process.

@bohops I’d be your coauthor

I could write a book...

The evolution of the English language continues unabated.

@curi0usJack Why no emacs?

It's over.

After 13 incredible years at IBM, I’m stepping away to start building something new. IBM has been a defining part of my life. I’m especially proud to have founded and grown the Adversary Simulation team and to have served as a Distinguished Engineer focused on AI and offensive security. What began as a small idea became one of the greatest red teams, pushing the boundaries of what real-world adversary simulation can look like - made possible by an exceptional group of people I learned from every day. I’m deeply grateful to the X-Force leadership and to the teammates, mentors, researchers, and operators who made the journey what it was. The team is in great hands and will continue to do important, impactful work. Looking ahead, I’m excited to focus on building what’s next - continuing to raise the bar for offensive cyber and exploring how AI can enable high sophistication offensive cyber operations and capabilities at a speed, scale, and intensity never before seen. It’s still early, but I’m looking forward to sharing more soon. I truly appreciate everyone who’s been part of the journey.

Watch XOR’s talk CUDA de Grâce: Owning AI Cloud Infrastructure with GPU exploits Kernel + driver bugs aren’t just a LPE problem, they’re a cloud problem. With the explosion of AI in the cloud, NVIDIA’s GPU drivers have become a valuable attack surface youtu.be/Lvz2_ZHj3lo

Just noticed this is listed as hybrid but is totally remote

Looking for an experienced red teamer. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Any Canadian friends with strong red team backgrounds looking for an AdvSim spot? ibmglobal.avature.net/en_US/careers/…

@harmj0y My recent GitHub pushes are a cemetery of AI projects that don’t quite work. Gotta start somewhere I suppose.

This is a big improvement on my original DeepPass work (which was well intentioned but just .... didn't work well lol). Hats off to Neeraj!

@ConsciousHacker Just doing my job

I haven't been nerd sniped in awhile and then @capt_red_beardz messaged me🤖

Ever been on an SCCM site server and *this* close to a DA pw that you couldn't decrypt for some reason? Check out my new blog looking at encryption in use within SCCM sites configured for High Availability and accompanying tooling to recover passwords: ibm.com/think/x-force/…

@kyleavery @0xdab0 How was I not aware this existed? I feel shame.

@0xdab0 people still using pip or conda are like abandoned japanese soldiers in ww2. they don’t know the war is over

I find it embarrassing you’re not using uv

Decided to get on the hype train and rewrite an old tool to use LLM for analysis vs basic learning tools. Will report back on how it compares. github.com/pfussell/envma…

@_xpn_ @retBandit @dyn___ Yes but ARE you down with MCP?

Excited for this one! @dyn___
