Stealing your SMS messages with iOS 0day
This is a special post because I fully based on another researcher, s1guza’s 0day. All of this story began from the following tweet: Siguza told us that his 0day was patched in the iOS 13.5 beta3.

Why it's great to write blog posts

Signs that a business idea will probably fail
After 14 years running my own businesses, I’ve failed a lot. I haven’t kept count thankfully, but I’d say I’ve started at least 50 businesses / ideas and out of those, 3 have worked. And when I say worked I don’t mean staying in business, I mean resulting in either a decent income for me […]
