I am a liberal computer geek, hockey nut (and goalie), web 2.0 fanatic, dad of two, and husband of one. I am also a veteran (i.e., old) software developer and computer hacker.

I've been a Mastodonian since Sept 2017, originally as @jdarnold @ sdf.org

Software toolsmith — application security, automated bug finding, secrets detection

I did binary static analysis for a few years, the spent a couple years *using* static analysis tools in anger to find security issues in C++ code. I did a couple years of client-facing appsec engagements. I've written lots of fuzzers and read a lot of code.

The past 4 years I've worked on secrets detection. I authored and maintained Nosey Parker, the fastest regex-based secrets detector out there, frequently used during offensive security engagements.

Currently a Principal Security Researcher at Truffle Security, working on all things secrets-related.

Formerly at Praetorian / Trail of Bits / Ab Initio Software / Veracode.

Oldish bloke, got to retirement age in 2024. Now retired, due to the old line about "when it stops being fun, stop doing it". O

Anyway, old-school coder, now retired from work. I've worked with everything from punch-cards to Perl, via machine language and microcode, C, C++, SQL, etc, etc. Now a happy Linux user on Garuda.

Getting more radically 'left' as I get older. I despise all racists, homophobes, Nazis, etc.
