It’s been a week of travel for me with API Days in Melbourne on Tuesday, Fortinet Fast & Secure in Sydney on Wednesday then the Varonis webinar yesterday (recorded, I’ll share once it’s online). Be that as it may, I did manage to pump out a long-awaited blog post on…

Presently sponsored by: Do you desire peace of mind? The hackers don’t wait, secure your website and mobile apps with Gold Security today.

As time has gone by, one of the things I’ve enjoyed the most in running Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) is seeing how far I could make the dollars stretch. How big can it go whilst at the same time, running it on a shoestring? I keep finding new ways…

A few little bits and pieces this week ranging from a new web cam (primarily to do Windows Hello auth), teaching my 8-year-old son HTML, progress with Firefox and HIBP, some really ridiculous comments from Namecheap re SSL (or TLS or HTTPS) and a full set of Pwned Passwords as…

Pwned Passwords, Now As NTLM Hashes!

Presently sponsored by: How fast can you update your security after an algorithm is compromised? Improve crypto agility with tips from DigiCert’s CTO

I’m still pretty amazed at how much traction Pwned Passwords has gotten this year. A few months ago, I wrote about Pwned Passwords in Practice which demonstrates a whole heap of great use cases where they’ve been used in registration, password reset and login flows. Since that time, another big…

Presently sponsored by: Netsparker – dead accurate web application security scanning solution – Scan websites for SQL Injection, XSS & other vulnerabilities

Made it to 100! And by pure coincidence, it aligned with the week where I’ve tuned out more than I ever have since gaining my independence which means there’s really not much to talk about. But I did want to share a little about the snow in Australia (turns out…

It’s a traveling weekly update this week as I round out a couple of workshops in Sydney and head to Canberra. That’s thrown the normal video cadence out a bit with me recording on a Thursday night (hence the beer) and publishing on a Friday morning, but there’s a heap…
