Why I Blog and How I Automate it (2023)
(ryanwwest.com)
I’m interested in consuming information in order to create new information (one of my motivations for pursuing a Ph.D.). I generally read articles/papers or watch videos, and then create papers/articles/code and have discussions as a result.

How I made $64k from deleted files – a bug bounty story
(medium.com)
I built an automation that cloned and scanned tens of thousands of public GitHub repos for leaked secrets. For each repository I restored deleted files, found dangling blobs and unpacked .pack files to search in them for exposed API keys, tokens, and credentials. Ended up reporting a bunch of leaks and pulled in around $64k from bug bounties 🔥.

Hi all,<p>I have been thinking about a problem and a possible solution to it so thought of asking it here.<p>I see a massive opportunity in AI agents for automations.Though the opportunity is there, why hasn't the adoption skyrocketed as of now ?<p>- Is it the talent density ? - or people don't know how they can leverage AI for their workflows ?

Tech buzzwords are clanging through the halls of Washington, DC. The Trump administration has promised to “leverage blockchain technology” to reorganize the US Agency for International Development, and Elon Musk’s DOGE has already unleashed an internal chatbot to automate agency tasks—with bigger plans on the horizon to take over for laid-off employees.

Principles for Building One-Shot AI Agents
(edgebit.io)
EdgeBit is a security platform that helps application engineering teams to find and fix security vulnerabilities. The Dependency Autofix feature contains an extremely accurate reachability engine to identify impact to your app. Most updates have no impact, so engineers using EdgeBit can dedicate efforts on impactful upgrades. This translates to more time spent “on-mission” instead of managing dependencies.

Nix Trigonometric Math Library from Ground Zero
(lantian.pub)
I wanted to calculate the network latency between all my VPS nodes, and add the latency into the configuration file of Bird BGP daemon, so the network packets are forwarded through the lowest latency route. However, I have 17 nodes as of today, and I didn't want to manually run a ping command between each pair.

Determining IaC ownership – a tag-based approach
(token.security)
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a major tool for creating scalable environments in the cloud. With a single command, you can create hundreds of accounts, servers, policies, and identities. It is a tough task to monitor identities, especially non-human identities (NHIs), but IaC-generated identities make it even harder.

Setup QEMU Output to Serial Console and Automate Tests with Shell Scripts (2019)

While struggling to automate QEMU guest (communicate and control with the shell scripts), I faced a lot of incomplete, partially working solutions around the Internet. Now, I've got a pretty decent collection of working recipes to tune up a QEMU guest, so I decided to organize all that stuff here, and it could be definitely useful for anyone else.

You may sometimes feel overwhelmed in a world where CircleCI, TeamCity, JFrog, Jenkins, and many other solutions manage continuous integration and auto-deployment. When you work with security products, you also have some confidentiality concerns. Having a good tutorial to create straightforward automation is quite handy.
