Earn $200K by fuzzing for a weekend: Part 1
By applying well-known fuzzing techniques to a popular target, I found several bugs that in total yielded over $200K in bounties. In this article I will demonstrate how powerful fuzzing can be when applied to software which has not yet faced sufficient testing.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

At least 6 reportedly killed as Iran protests widen
Protests over Iran's struggling economy have spread into rural areas, with at least three people killed. Authorities reported the fatalities on Wednesday and Thursday in cities home to Iran’s Lur ethnic group. The demonstrations are the largest since 2022 but haven't reached the intensity of those sparked by Mahsa Amini's death. In Lordegan, videos showed gunfire and debris on the streets. Iran's government media hasn't reported on the violence there. The protests began due to economic pressu…

Mein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert.

Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020.

Studie Arzneimittelhersteller: "Der Studie zufolge gab es einen Sprung beim Krankenstand von 2021 auf 2022, der maßgeblich auf Atemwegserkrankungen wie Grippe, RSV und Covid-Infektionen zurückgehe. Seitdem habe sich der Krankenstand zwar etwas verringert, bleibt aber erhöht."
(Die Arzneimittelhersteller plädieren für mehr Impfungen, ich plädiere zusätzlich für Luftfilter und Maskennormalisierung.)

Na recente Russische luchtaanvallen is Kyiv duisterder en kouder dan ooit. Volgens de burgemeester beleeft de hoofdstad van Oekraïne de zwaarste winter sinds het begin van de grootschalige invasie in februari 2022. Inwoners van Kyiv moeten letterlijk zoeken naar lichtpuntjes.

Es ist interessant, wie ein Song aus dem Jahr 2022, den ich erst 2025 zum ersten Mal bewusst gehört habe, mich jedes Mal aufs neue fasziniert: "Fahr mit mir (4x4)" von Kraftklub und Tokio Hotel.
Diese Fahrzeug-Huldigung der Backing Vocals ist phänomenal!

I don't do much black metal, but I dig black mixed with death and doom. Just ran across Germany's PALE SPEKTRE and they're perfect for #BlackMetalMonday, along with Wellington, New Zealand's VICISSITUDE, as I noticed them both from a split they did together. Both bands are pretty great blackened death/doom.
