I Wrote a WebAssembly VM in C
For the last 6 months, I’ve been spending my (limited) free time on evenings and weekends writing a WebAssembly VM in C.

One Token to rule them all – Obtaining Global Admin in every Entra ID tenant
While preparing for my Black Hat and DEF CON talks in July of this year, I found the most impactful Entra ID vulnerability that I will probably ever find.

$30 Homebrew Automated Blinds Opener (2024)
In the spirit of my thermostat and dishwasher controller , I managed to cobble together a decent blinds opener in a short weekend almost entirely from spare parts on hand. This design is very much what I could do quickly with what I had, so probably not worth copying, but perhaps it can be an inspiration.

How I turned Zig into my favorite language to write network programs in
I’ve been watching the Zig language for a while now, given that it was created for writing audio software (low-level, no allocations, real time). I never paid too much attention though, it seemed a little weird to me and I didn’t see the real need. Then I saw a post from Andrew Kelley (creator of the language) on…
