Building a tool to help overworked cybersecurity teams with no budget
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…

In the maker’s words, at launch
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 help me filter, decide and prioritise. But I see value in being able to use the same information to help everyone on the internet, but most importantly the people tasked with cybersecurity spend less time processing input data, working out what and how to educate people and finding supporting facts and references when talking to the decision makers. BeyondMachines delivers email messages of filtered and easy to read notifications, knowledge articles and statistics to enable the one-man armies of security do their magic. We are also building a dashboard to help with trends and statistics - because they make sense when put in proper context. The core notification package is free forever - notifications that impact all of us, for Operating Systems, Mobile Phones, Applications that we all use and awareness that we can all benefit from. Unfortunately we can't not have a registration since it's a notification service. But it's super easy to register and to unsubscribe. We only get an email address, and we delete it once you've unsubscribed from all topics.

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. You can pick up a copy for free here through May 19, 2019: https://gumroad.com/l/the_cyber_plumbers_handbook/hackernews... Please note, because it's hosted on Gumroad, it does require an email. 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…

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
