Briannaj··on Pass the Passkey: A Novel Attack Surface in Passwordless Authentication
This is how I assumed it worked as well. I wasn't aware of the non User Verification method. I thought the passkey was tied to hardware. I thought that was the entire point. How wrong I was it seems.

Am I the only person who PANICs whenever I accidentally somehow activate the AI on my android? I'm so conditioned to panic whenever I see that floating rainbow that the whole marketing page is covered in I get very negative feelings.
Briannaj··on Cybersecurity looks like proof of work now
really, really?

After how many years of "shifting left" and understanding the importance of having security involved in the dev and planning process, now the recommendation is to vibe code with human intuition, review then spend a million tokens to "harden"?

I understand that isn't the point of the article and the article does make sense in its other parts. But that last paragraph leaves me scratching my head wondering if the author understands infosec at all?

Briannaj··on Alterego: Thought to Text
what it could be really cool for is stuff like "open my house door", "Turn off the lights", "text so and so", "Start my car" Stuff we want to do without pulling out our phone that doesn't require a lot of detailed instruction.
Briannaj··on Alterego: Thought to Text
This is literally only as fast as text to speech. the only difference is that you don't have to speak aloud. Which is cool. But for using a computer its still annoying and worse than a mouse because with a mouse you can click or drag and place in a second, in this format you have to think "move the box from point A to point B (with coordinates or a description) etc etc".

I think its cool, I've been brainstorming how a good MCI would work for a while and didn't think of this. I think its a great novel approach that will probably be expanded on soon.

Briannaj··on The Gentle Singularity
I could not take the article seriously after reading that.

we are not past the event horizon.
Briannaj··on A privilege escalation from Chrome extensions (2023)
This is worth more than 10k imo. But I guess since you have to have an extension installed maybe that's why?

I'm actually surprised no one built this before this is exactly what soc analyst would need.
Briannaj··on Show HN: Cursor Directory – From a 3-hour build to a 250k users/mo community
I can confirm, the rules aren't any better. what I do is have a main prompt that just tells the model to adhere to the rules and lists them out. It doesn't really work.
