Bugcrowd | Multiple Roles | Hybrid Remote (Australia, US) | Full-Time | https://www.bugcrowd.com

Bugcrowd crowdsources hackers and applies them to cybersecurity work to find and fix critical vulnerabilities faster. We facilitate bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure processes, penetration testing and we're looking to enable more hackers to do more types of work (and, importantly, get them paid for their efforts) to keep our customers safe on the internet.

Tech stack: React, Typescript, Ruby on Rails, Kotlin, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Docker

We're looking for:

- Mid and Senior Software Engineers (all timezones)

- Product Designer (Australia)

- Front-end Design System Engineer (Australia)

Infosec is a challenging design space, and so are double-sided marketplaces! Come help us design and implement the service-oriented platform that facilitates interactions between hackers and corporate security.

The team is looking to expand significantly in the coming year, so you'll get to have meaningful impact on product and engineering decisions and there is huge room for career advancement (including active mentoring from talented staff engineers, senior designers and senior product managers).

We're committed to hybrid remote - we won't force you back into the office, but we'll make it an option if you want to. Pay, perks and options are competitive, and we're strong proponents of conditions better than merely 'work/life balance'.

Juries are instructed to rule according to the law. Whether the law is "right" or "wrong" is a different matter altogether, and it's not what the trial was about.
Doesn't memcpy_s not take into account the sources size though? You could still read past the end of an object with it, right?
Yea quite the playbook there... ransom the company pretending to be a hacker, then pretend to be a whistleblower saying the company is burying the fact that the company is being ransomed..
It sounds like he got caught because his VPN dropped during some sort of outage. It's funny because I feel like "don't do crime from your home network" should be an incredibly obvious concept.
If I understand this correctly you’re saying a major cell provider is selling you access to subscriber SMS message content?
There's a famous smoking cessation book (that I cannot remember the name of) with one core theme which is supposedly very powerful in the eyes of smokers. The idea that you gain nothing from smoking. That's my realisation when I quit Facebook.

Meta/Facebook will crumble as more people come to realise that.
To me, we're going through a monopoly age like the industrial revolution but for tech. So during the late 1800's, people just dealt with railroad and oil monopolies because they had to. It's not going to stop until someone gets in office that actually follows through with breaking them up, regardless of them being monopolies.

If anything, it doesn't feel like we have constitutional rights anymore when a corporation can just deny them when they literally are main means of voicing an opinion. It's like a company having the knowledge of building sidewalks, everybody uses them because they're so useful, but you can't practice your right as a citizen on them because the company owns it. 6 of 1 half dozen of the other it's no different than the CCP telling you whats what except here we just have corporate overlords that do it instead.

What good is having a bill of rights if I have to be rich enough to actually enforce it? An inalienable right is something you shouldn't have to go to court over, yet here we are...
> by culling §230-protected content in a clearly biased manner Facebook etc is establishing themselves as "publisher" culpable for libelous & criminal content.

No, they aren't. True, if it were not online, Facebook's involvement with selection of which provided content to promote might make them a publisher (it's kind of hard, because both bookstores and other distributors and publishers, offline, actively select content in very biased ways, but face very different liability regimes). But while you reference “§230-protected content”, you fail to understand the operative language of § 230: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Note that there is no “unless, as a provider, they choose to promote that content in a ‘clearly biased’ manner” caveat. Just a bar against the provider being treated as a publisher of content that originates from someone else.
Damn. I remember reading about the original "hack" here and getting very concerned about the level of access ascertained by the attacker. I'm almost relieved it was a foolishly clumsy inside job and some of the initial hypotheses about rogue nation state root access to UI devices did not materialize. Brazen, indeed, for him to also have been on the team tasked with cleaning it up.
Keyloggers?
Youd rather he be dead? That would be better?
I have briefly played with the opensource version of Superset, Metabase and Redash, and ended up choosing Metabase for our use case.

Metabase has the most beautiful and intuitive UI among the three, and works well when your use case is supported, but further customization is difficult. Superset is good for customization, but for setting up some standard chart types/dashboards the effort will be more than Metabase. Redash is sort of in between, and sometimes feel slow.
Which savings? They lost $4B in market cap.
They don't need to improve their registration system. The government simply locks you up if you give up in the process. They don't risk anything if you fail to register.
> At one point during the exfiltration of Company-1 data, SHARP’s home IP address became unmasked following a temporary internet outage at SHARP’s home.

This seems to explain how this comes down after less than a year since the incident. Surfshark now supports an outage related kill switch, not sure if that's a new feature.
The article's sources disagree with the article. Its link to Microsoft's definition of a security boundary explicitly includes containers as a security boundary twice in the tables and offers bounties if you can break out of that security boundary. Its link and quote from Google say it's not a _strong_ security boundary yet the article claims Google said it wasn't a security boundary at all. The Red Hat link doesn't say anything about security boundaries whatsoever but it does say containers aren't perfect protection yet they do provide some protection. The Netflix link also explicitly says containers are a security boundary multiple times and they use additional protections to strengthen that boundary. At this point I'm doing following citations but you get the point.

If the security folks at your job truly doesn't consider containers security boundaries then they are wrong. What seems more likely is they don't consider containers alone a _good enough_ security boundary. And that's fine, some places consider separate processes with different rights good enough security boundaries. Others consider two boxes that are able to interact with each other not a good enough security boundary. It doesn't change that things that weren't secure enough for the use case are still security boundaries.

I got sick of google after they made the BERT update. Really happy I switched (except for google maps data. google is still winning that game)
Having kids in tow also makes this easier.
I agree that events leading up to the shooting were problematic. If respected media commentators had not glorified riots or villianized the justified police shooting of Jacob Blake, or if the Mayor of Kenosha had requested further National Guard in advance of the second night of riots, or if the police had not abandoned downtown Kenosha to a mob armed with rifles and handguns, none of this would have happened.

The immediate consequence of the shooting was an end to destructive riots in Kenosha. As an American, I hope future consequences include a tapering-off of destructive pointless riots. If you come to my town, threaten to kill a kid defending local homes and businesses, light a bunch of the town on fire and then pursue and attempt to kill said kid, you deserve whatever happens to you. If Rittenhouse hadn't been armed, he'd likely now be dead.
Are you not allowed to shoot someone in Germany if they fire a gun into the air and then point it at you? What about if someone is swinging a blunt object violently at your head? Is there just not such a thing as "self defense" in Germany?

I feel like I sound like one of the right wing sympathizers but I'm honestly just curious how things work over there, are you willing to explain?
When you ask for Bitcoin in the ransom note but paid your VPN with Paypal.
No code change at all or nothing pushed to production environment ?
Sorry, self defense is a right no matter what isle of the political spectrum you land on. Arguing otherwise here, means you A) didn't follow the case or B) are arguing in bad faith.

BOTH of these options do not make for a good look on yourself.
I personally think that's a very real risk, but Square definitely disagrees

Most people have probably moved onto just using someone else to host and manipulate their images, but for business reasons, one of my apps stores its images (and all the cached sizes) in the DB (single source of truth is also nice) so switching to libVIPS enabled me to reduce the amount of compute resources I pay for
Meh. Not if you take into account the US constitution and the right to self-defence and bear arms (which makes sense if you think about it). You can't really compare to a European country where you'd get prosecuted simply for carrying a firearm.
Also a trend in making things increasingly less googleable.

iTunes->Music. Searching for issues with the application formerly known as iTunes is borderline impossible now.

Whoever approved that must’ve gotten an MBA from a top-ranked school, because any decent person would immediately recognize it as a bad idea.
Then maybe don't showcase it so prominently. I bet this demo is what about 90% of people interested in Uno check out and my perception was certainly "wow, this performs badly", tainting my perception of the whole thing.
> Also a lot of more modern tools I’ve tried to build in recent months do not give a crap about cross compilation as a use case

On the other hand, more modern languages like Rust and Go tend to have a single standard library and compiler that can be used across basically any common operating system, whereas trying to use gcc/libstdc++ or clang/libc++ on Windows can be an ordeal, and using MSVC on Unix is essentially not an option at all. Cross compilation for other architectures might be a bit more work, but the majority of developers don't have to worry about that very much, whereas support across Linux, MacOS, and Windows is a lot more common.
Kyle is a fool but if every one of those folks would have just left Kyle alone instead of attacking him they’d be alive.

He also used keys as the "attacker" that were known to be his as a regular employee. That seems like a n00b move.
I'm a big fan of a show called "Forensic Files", which is like a real-life CSI where each episode is a documentary and only takes 20 minutes (I highly recommend).

In addition to the the usual passion killings and random murders, there is the occasional criminal that thinks they are way smarter than everyone else and doubles or triples down even as the noose is tightening, because they 100% believe they are geniuses and will get away with it.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVVL_U4BTGs

In this episode a member of Mensa, who enjoyed staging murder mystery dinner parties for his Mensa friends, poisoned his neighbor over loud music and barking dogs, and thought he was such a criminal mastermind that he could talk his way out of it. These people have mental disorders.

There are a few still transmitting, if you mean number stations.

If you mean UVB-76 then I'm pretty sure it's just them parking the frequency for when the American imperialists set the sky ablaze. (You can apparently hear the operators listening to music or watching memes every now and again so it's obviously not a hugely important broadcast)
this is C code.
stuff like void*, union and raw arrays do not belond in modern C++.
while C++ is compatible with C it provides ways to write safer code that C doesn't.
writing C code in a C++ project is similar to writing inline assembly.
The entire project used to be cljs, so obviously it's done on purpose, that is stated in the article.
I promise I’m not trying to be obtuse or argumentative, but I think apart from cycles your response restates exactly what I took from my reading on the subject and tried to articulate. So I’m not sure if what I should take away is:

- ARC is generally avoided by GC languages, which puts Swift in a peculiar position for a language without manual memory management (without any consideration of Swift per se for the case I asked about)

- Swift’s atomic reference counting qualitatively eliminates it from consideration because it’s applied even in single threaded workloads, negating determinism in a way I haven’t understood

- It’s quantitatively eliminated because that overhead has such a performance impact that it’s not worth considering
These past couple years have made me realize the US "democracy" is a complete joke.
> I really do recommend making some effort to really understand what's going on and not just memorizing stuff blindly.

I definitely second this. When I was “studying,” I just memorized the answers and got from Tech to Extra. I can access all the amateur bands now, but my understanding of the hobby is still minimal as a result. But I know how not to land a fine from the FCC, so there is that!

There are plenty of good resources on YT. The ARRL also has a number of excellent publications: the study guides are great for learning the materials on the tests, and the Handbook covers pretty much everything else you’d want to know in extensive detail.
Facebook fact checked a friend's locket that her mother gave her. It was bizarre. She posted a photo of the locket, Facebook blurred the photo and added a 'Independent fact checkers have determined this is false information' warning. The problem? The locket has a quote on it by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Apparently independent fact checkers are unable to verify that Emerson ever said the quote so it had to be blurred for our protection. Whether the quote is accurate or not, it's strange that Facebook is now policing gifts people give their children.
To be political, this has more implications on the censorship in general. So what if one censors/distorts more than the other

One is supposed to be a news agency, the other is supposed to be an information sharing platform for private individuals. There is some conflict here whenever you decide to pump a specific narrative.
Those are exactly the kind of assholes that should be named.
The fact that Facebook launched the Meta thing at a time when they were under scrutiny means they probably hoped to distract from what was putting them in the news, but I don’t think they did it just for that reason. Like, the whole whistleblower thing definitely concerns them and they want it to go away, but it doesn’t feel like enough to warrant conjuring a permanent name change and a whole video manifesto in a week. They were definitely already planning on doing this. It feels likely to me that this is part of a multi-year high level strategy to picot towards VR and crypto.

That doesn’t mean I believe in it, I think there’s a lot that’s silly about Meta, and I’m a big believer in the ability of powerful people to do silly and misguided things. That may be what’s happening here. Consider that Jack may not possess any insights about this stuff that aren’t available to us.
Signal did made some significant progress across IM space due to Axolotl/Signal Protocol which has to be noted, but I'm not going to use or support a yet another closed silo when there are open and federated networks around that work well.
The German definition of self-defense (“Notwehr”) sounds quite comprehensive to me:

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__32.html

What makes you think the case would’ve been adjudicated differently in Germany?

Edit: to be clear, certainly bringing a gun to a protest at all is illegal in Germany, so he could presumably be prosecuted for that, but it's not at all clear why he'd have been guilty of murder.
"Google" is a meaningless pair of semi-pronouncable nonsense syllables, inspired by the made up big number "googol" (which was named by a 9-year-old child whose uncle wrote a pop math book). It has no problem standing for self-driving taxis or whatever else.

If you want your own similar company name, visit an elementary school and ask the 3rd grade students for advice. You can make "bleeblax" or "squibjub" or "tibflee" or "shubzoo" into the next unicorn company.
Would anyone laugh at anyone attacking someone with a semi automatic gun with a skateboard?
Seems like he probably would have been caught either way, but would have costed and taken longer if he didn’t drop his VPN.
Being one person in a closed room of people knowing about the ransom, and using PayPal over crypto to pay for a VPN seems like it would leave a trail. Eventually would’ve narrowed it down, hopefully.

Edit: oh, and using his own keys that were tied to him as an employee while he was being the attacker.
> Personally I am sick and tired of the way this character is now put forward as some kind of saint, in my book he's a multiple murderer and there isn't anything that will change that.

If you refuse to accept any concept of self defense then of course your going to convict him without looking at the evidence. By your standard it’s impossible for someone to defend themself with lethal force as the use of that force would be automatic guilt.

> There is such a thing as intent and I don't buy for one second the self defense angle, that's akin to me tooling up with a bunch of weapons, walking into a bar fight and then shooting people that come after me and claiming self defense.

Walking around your neighborhood is not walking into a bar fight.

Furthermore anyone that charges at someone open carrying a rifle clearly demonstrates intent to kill. The right to defend oneself does not come from the laws of man, that’s an innate right.

> Of course the violent right now have their poster boy and a fantastic fig leaf to engage in some more of this, beware of sowing wind, you'll end up reaping storm.

What a sad interpretation. A boy shot three men that tried to kill him. Interestingly, all of them turned out to also be convicted felons who likely were not out for any peaceful reason. One of them even had an illegal hand gun that he admits he pointed inches from the boys face before the boy shot him. It’s a great verdict because it shows the jury wasn’t swayed by the massive amount of misinformation about the circumstance.

> There is a reason more civilized countries have decided that the state should have the monopoly on violence. This isn't 100% ideal either but at least it stops this kind of excess.

The events leading up to the Rittenhouse shooting were explicitly caused by the State giving up their monopoly on violence. They refused to enforce the law and let a bunch of rioters burn down half the city. They demonstrated that they will not protect your property or even your life.
There is a lot to wade through with this blog post. But "pushing us to get better as people" is a VERY subjective statement.

For example, the author is one of the people who started the Greater Than Code podcast. Some of the regulars and panelists for that podcast, since its inception, have been involved in efforts to purging people from conferences, tech communities etc. that they deem to be "un-desirable" or "bad people". The challenge is that the lens they used for applying these labels generally seems to split along political lines, where left leaning individuals tend to agree with these labels and right leaning do not.

If you have successfully purged most of your "un-desirables", forced the other ones underground with the real possibility of losing their job etc., and the only people who dare to say anything are those who subscribe to your ideology (the "in" group), I'm sure that things must look really rosy. But, for the large number of people in the "out group", not so much.

Beyond this, I'm skeptical of software development itself pushing us in this direction. If that statement were true, would we have not noticed this in the early days of the profession?

I got rid of my account and started a blog instead. Much more fun to learn about Jekyll, CSS, and improve my long form writing skills anyway. There's federated blog networks like Micro.blog out there, but personally I've just backpedaled to good old RSS myself. If a blog provides it, it's a strong sign they're producing content from a passionate place, rather than trying to collect email addresses and followers for monetization.

Chronological, completely distributed... it feels a bit like rediscovering ancient technology in some science fiction or fantasy universe. "An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age."
