A community-curated aggregator of technical research. Our mission is to extract signal from the noise.
Only post technical content here. New tools (and major releases of existing ones), novel techniques, deep dives and post mortems are the ideal content. CTF and bug bounty writeups could be acceptable if they showcase lesser known approaches or techniques.
Non-technical content (both beginner and CISO level) will be considered spam.

Research @infosec.pub mjh @infosec.pub Side projects for May/June 2023 (🔒podcast)
video.infosec.exchange LockpodcastLockpodcast is a podcast made by @mj@treehouse.systems I wanted to play around with some video editing so I decided to try making some video with it. You can find it here. https://lockpodcast.com
h/t @NeonPayload@infosec.pub for the video.
My slipping goal for the past month has been the continued production of a weekly podcast. Nothing long, short form that could be listened to on a train or in the car.
The challenge I'm facing head on is how to make it unique. Sure, I can do NPR reading the news but who cares and who is that, what is my target audience. My simple solution so far is to go back and try to find a style and content that people can't get from a dozen different sources on their phone already.
Ideas and recommendations appreciated.
