I'm playing around with starting a game development project with a hacking theme. Would you want to see videos about it on this channel, another second channel, or not at all?

Filming a video about this later tonight, but I had my first malware hit my honeypot servers. I reverse engineered it and wrote up a piece about it on Twitter (for free)

Dropping a video in a bit on how I use AI in software/malware development 👀

I'm going to be building an e-book for Rust malware development. It will be for sale, but cheap. I'm going to follow the "Forever Work-In-Progress" model on LeanPub where you pay once to get the current version and you get access to all subsequent versions.

I'm going to focus most of my effort on the e-book to get it off the ground, but after that I'm going to develop a video course on it as well.

I know that the AI/ML and business videos are a bit of a pivot. I get that, and for those of you who are just here for maldev stuff, I understand unsubbing or not watching. That’s nbd.

For those who are here, understand that I’m not trying to be a YouTuber. YouTubers very rarely build anything worth building. I want to build and make and create, and YouTube is a medium I use to yap about it.

So content might be a bit different as I build new things. I hope yall stick around for the ride!

All - The Discord has been shut down. The emails I've gotten from Discord don't sound super promising. I'm exploring new options, one of them being a self-hosted forum or chat application.

Bearing my bias first: I would prefer a forum. I want to build a research community, and chat apps, to me, are a bit too ephemeral to serve as a good research community. They're annoying to admin, frequently spammed and the posts often disappear.

I understand that folks like chat apps (like Discord) and that they frequently serve as great ways to build commuity and relationship, though, so I'm putting it up to a poll before I move forward. There are great chat apps and forum software that can be self-hosted and are open source, so that's not a make or break.

The one that I go with:
- will be self-hosted
- will be free with some sort of way to monetize it
- will be open source

Please vote seriously here as I'll be deciding at least in part based on this poll.

Discord isn't going to keep us down!

Hey all. Unfortunately it has happened: the Discord community was shut down for "malicious activity." I am appealing the request, but since the nature of the Discord was to discuss the writing and research of malware, I would not at all be surprised if it stays shut down.

This shutdown occurred shortly after a user in the Discord was booted for advertising their garbage RAT, so I have a vague feeling we were reported in retribution for that.

I am appealing the shutdown, but I am going ahead and deactivating all members on the Subb community so you are not charged any more than you are supposed to be.

I apologize for the inconvenience, hope that the community is rebooted, and will keep everyone up to date.
