Funny because the trail of bits guy CTF one was one of the very few sponsor interviews that I listened to and actively enjoyed. I usually skip them after a couple of minutes.

This one was absolutely great. It's because I like to play CTF's and it's cool to hear from someone who designs these absolutely insane challenges.

It's also nice that they used their sponsor spot to just tell a story about a cool CTF challenge, instead of actively trying to push some product.

of all the entities that would possibly be lured by "trustless" "immutable" ledgers, i can't for the life of me understand why that would be of interest to a government. it doesn't matter if loonies don't trust you, you're the law! :psyduck:

1) Conjecture: They got suckered by IT staff and/or some trusted advisors who were enamoured with Bitcoin.

2) Fact: Some Vancouver gangster got killed out of country recently and one of the things that guy did was run a Bitcoin exchange which came up in the ongoing trial of El Chapo.

3) Fact: The BC government has repeatedly shut down every regulatory team/organization that goes sniffing after money laundering that's within their reach.

4) Conjecture: The BC government's trusted IT advisors are organized crime figures involved in money laundering.

(There's a lot more on the fact side, but I'm phone posting here.)

sure; for arbitrary square matrices A and B, it is not necessarily the case that AB = BA

e: see also subtraction 1 - 0 ~= 0 - 1

thankfully you probably won’t need to deal with the algebra yourself (had to know for a class, promptly forgot after) and just, bang on functions whichever library provides. surely less of a headache than rotation matrices in 3d space

i looked in the souceforge page and the only "durrr aes is insecure" stuff was from some random guy 10+ years ago. there was no real argument either, just the developers saying "no"

whiny twitter guy couldn't report this issue directly to the developers because he was triggered by some random guy asking for twofish support on their forums in 2007.

deer jump through small windows like that a fair bit, especially when they're moving around at dawn/dusk and visibility is poor. that facility cheaped out and didn't remove/brick over the windows and instead decided to treat sheetrock as a security boundary which is loving precious. looks like a hole they can jump through and a half-inch of drywall isn't going to stop an animal of that size. my high school went on code-red lockdown for one morning when one bombed through a similar window in the admin office and proceeded to trash the place until they locked it in a bathroom
