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.

#NoBots

opinionated lurker of the intarwebs.

Used to write code, still do. c/c++, java, php, js, c#, gdscript, gnawed on sql, sparql, unix/windows etc etc billions of years ago.

tech, graphics, anything STEM
anything anthropology, history, linguistics
anything blender, gimp (although i scream using it), audacity
prefers not to be run over by cars

I drink Philz.

I do a (non-monetized) video or so a week on yt.

Tyranny and poverty are everywhere a mainstream economics phenomenon.

Joined mastodonapp.uk back in Nov 2022. I have a 'backup' a/c on mendeddrum.org.

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

Anyway, old-school coder. 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.

Bored CRUD web developer by day, enthusiast C/C++ developer by night.
