mxpxrocks10··on The College Student–and His Cat Meme–Who Hunted the Biggest Cyberweapon
A flurry of powerful attacks had internet experts baffled. Benjamin Brundage had a few tricks to help solve the Kimwolf mystery.
mxpxrocks10··on Cloudflare outage on December 5, 2025
First, what Cloudflare does is hard and I want to start with that.

That being said, I think it’s worth a discussion. How much of the last 3 outages were because of the JGC (the former CTO) retiring and Dane taking over?

Did JGC have a steady hand that’s missing? Or was it just time for outages that would have happened anyway?

Dane has maintained a culture of transparency which is fantastic, but did something get injected in the culture leading towards these issues? Will it become more or less stable since JGC left?

Curious for anyone with some insight or opinions.

(Also, if it wasn’t clear - huge Cloudflare fan and sending lots of good vibes to the team)

serious question: does anyone think this is a good idea? is there an argument that this could be a good thing?
mxpxrocks10··on WordPress usage worldwide
are you using http or https? following redirects? how many? This is all going to change the study.
mxpxrocks10··on WordPress usage worldwide
you can compare it to this: https://www.isitwp.com/
mxpxrocks10··on WordPress usage worldwide
Some other notes: 1) you're not checking subdomains like blog.company.com or paths like company.com/blog 2) if you use something like zgrab you can do 1M site crawl in a couple of hours. Consider checking it out.
mxpxrocks10··on WordPress usage worldwide
you have to use a larger sample. There are 300M+ domains. The longer tail will surely have more wordpress in it.
mxpxrocks10··on I revoked $1M worth of EV certificates
Can someone explain how revocations work? how many there are? what the rules are - etc?

SecurityTrails | Sr. Backend Lead | Remote | https://SecurityTrails.com

We're looking for a lead engineer to take the reigns for the backend development team. As we've begun to quickly expand our team we need a lead for the application development side that can work with the data team, our prototyping team, sales engineering, and the principles of the organization to craft the way forward as the teams and demands grow.

You should be adept at taking the goals and turning them into tasks for the team, ensuring the output is inline with the long term roadmap and ensuring any hiccups or noise from new team members, or more junior engineers is effectively filtered out. You will take charge of ensuring the test coverage is sufficient, that the team is following processes you need to move the ball forward, and that tasks are correctly architected and validated.

Experience in a particular language or technology is not essential, but you should definitely get excited about building cutting edge big data security products.

Some of the technologies and tools that we currently use: Elixir, Go, Python, Scala, Elasticearch, Kafka, Spark, Beam, BigTable, BigQuery, Amazon Aurora, AWS, Azure, and GCP.
