Only 9 hours left until the start of Flare-On 9.
I wanted to participate for several years now, but the learning curve seemed too harsh. Well, let's see if all the knowledge and skills I acquired over the past year would be enough.

For those of you who don't know, Flare-On is a reverse engineering and malware analysis-oriented #CTF made by Mandiant which happens every year.

Quote from their site:
The Front Line Advanced Research and Expertise (FLARE) team is an elite technical group of malware analysts, researchers, and hackers. We are looking to hire smart individuals interested in reverse engineering. We have created this series of binary challenges to test your skills. We encourage anyone to participate and practice their skills while having fun!

If you are planning to participate this year as well - let me know in the chat. It's always nice being able to bounce questions and hints if you are stuck.

Registration is open already, let's go!

Summarizing my whole experience of participating in Scavenger Hunt CTF on BSides København in a single picture!
I found and submit all the flags only to find out that two other individuals did the same within the same 60 seconds, which placed me the 3rd on the scoreboard.
The moments like this make it memorable.

The perfect way to spend Friday night. The first edition of @vxunderground Black Mass just arrived!

You can find a free digital copy on their site.
A physical one is available on Amazon for just 8$!
It's been a while since I had any physical zines, especially #malware related. I'm hyped!
What is your favorite security-related zine?

It's this time of the year again!

If you need advice about password managers:
In general - use BitWarden
Have more money than time - 1password
Have more time than money - KeePass

I was playing with ChatGPT the other day to see if it can be useful for protesters or not and made a small and funny presentation for a local security meetup.
Why not share a deck of slides with you too?
I would love to hear your thoughts on the use of such AI technologies for the good (or bad)!

A syllabus of those slides:
- writing a regular expression for nmap output
- writing a shellcode
- making a free version of an infosec course by having only a list of topics
- writing a bug bounty or a pentest report

Here we go! Starting my exam attempt for PJMR (Practical Junior Malware Researcher from TCM).
Would you want to read a review after?
#cert

Was I thinking it would be easy? Yes.
Was it easy? Hell no.
Do I have beaten now after five days of staring at bytes and sleep deprivation? You guess.
Was it fun? Absolutely.
It's time for the report!

It's all good 💀

w00t! The review is on the way.

The review on PJMR #cert is here!
With some home baked memes 👌

A nice #RE learning material for beginners.
Five points to Gryffindor if you can tell me in the comments how such a visual can be achieved. I love the aesthetic.
