This took kind of a lot to make happen.RE: https://infosec.exchange/@thetaggartinstitute/116295681950521950
This took kind of a lot to make happen. Also, the certificate generation system is open source and works with anything that can send name/email/course name to a webhook. More on that soon!

Hey, if you run into me at RSAC, that's my doppelgänger.Hey, if you run into me at RSAC, that's my doppelgänger. Do not speak to it, for it craves human experience with which to fuel its anti-soul. To speak to it is to drain your own life force.
But you're already at RSAC, so maybe the thing will starve anyhow.

Some of you #cybersecurity people should be interested in this...@joy This is always a gotcha with these tests:
Third party prompt injection and data exfiltration: when attacker text is able to reliably hijack a victim’s agent (including Browser, ChatGPT Agent, and similar agentic products) to trick it into performing a harmful action or leaking the user’s sensitive information. The behavior must be reproducible at least 50% of the time.
Show me a way to confirm this behavior that is not by itself harmful. Unless testing IPI on local files, you necessarily have to host your attack payload somewhere public, such that the web tool can access it. And if it works, good job, you've now exposed the internet to your attack. And remember: it must demonstrate real harm, or they'll say it's just a benign proof-of-concept that didn't trigger their alignment guardrails.

The outcome Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court is potentially precedent-setting for thousands of other pending lawsuits nationwide and could reshape how tech companies are held accountable for children's harm caused by their products.

Aww yiss another critical Citrix vuln under active exploitation:Aww yiss another critical Citrix vuln.
Citrix urges admins to patch NetScaler flaws as soon as possible
Citrix has patched two NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway vulnerabilities, one of which is very similar to the CitrixBleed and CitrixBleed2 flaws exploited in zero-day attacks in recent years.

Apparently, Apple isn’t going to patch iOS 18.6.2, meaning I either risk my information with DarkSword or my sanity with iOS 26.@gknauss Ah I see, and you'd rather not run into the Liquid Glass ceiling. That does seem to be an issue!

Apparently, Apple isn’t going to patch iOS 18.6.2, meaning I either risk my information with DarkSword or my sanity with iOS 26.@gknauss I think the thing is to move to 18.7.3, which is patched.
For devices running versions of iOS prior to 18.6, DarkSword uses CVE-2025-31277, a JIT optimization/type confusion bug which was patched by Apple in iOS 18.6. For devices running iOS 18.6-18.7, DarkSword uses CVE-2025-43529, a garbage collection bug in the Data Flow Graph (DFG) JIT layer of JavaScriptCore which was patched by Apple in iOS 18.7.3 and 26.2 after it was reported by GTIG. Both exploits develop their own fakeobj/addrof primitives, and then build arbitrary read/write primitives the same way on top of them.
I'm unaware of a compelling reason or hardware limitation to not upgrade from 18.6 to 18.7
