Looking to get some feedback from the Hacker News community. I wrote the book with a focus on penetration testers and red teamers, but there are great examples for network admins, developers, and blue team defenders as well.

If you don't want to give out your actual email, check out an anonymous email service. I give it away to students for free, so if you know of one that…

Hey HN, I'm so excited to finally share with you what I've been working on recently. One month ago I asked my audience what they wanted to learn about Websites, APIs and Servers security [0]. From the feedback, I've identified a few recurring pain points that I've started to address (and many more) in this new book. From theory to practice, you will learn how low-level network and security protocols work. How to configure Cloudflare to secure and scale your web applications. How to create serverless applications and which database to chose with serverless functions. How to optimize your…

There is too much of everything in cybersecurity. Noise, FUD, unfulfilled sales promises, incidents, things to address, information to process, technologies to look at, people to educate. I am working as a CISO and it's mostly my job to raise awareness, understand all the risks, track all current issues and prioritize them, and be able to communicate all that with proper references and examples to our management team. I've been building and dogfooding a tool that ingests much of the noise and provides focused notifications per cybersecurity topic and regular awareness texts. The idea was to…

The core idea is to combine different scripts—created in various programming languages and virtual environments—within a minimalist graphical interface. Whether you're building models, running a local neural network, or sending requests to…

Hello Hacker News! We’re Willem, Roeland, Felix and Madeline from Aikido Security (https://aikido.dev/) We’re building a “no BS’ application security platform. It’s the platform we wish existed, but couldn’t find. Willem, our CTO had to manage (application) security at many of his previous startups, and honestly, hated it. Most security tools we had to use made us feel dumb. They were super complex and riddled with false positives. Their platform was behind the book a demo button. They had intransparent pricing models and honestly charged us way too much. We think most of…
