Official account of the Microarchitecture Security Conference (µASC).
Cutting-edge research on #security in #microarchitecture contexts.

Next Conference: February 3, 2026, in Leuven, Belgium.

Long time dev coder, experimenter. Enjoy disconnecting for hikes, living in the DEEP woods. Enjoy building local AI ala Ollama/StableDiff. Messin' with Linux, Python, Lora and all that open source goodness. I have a cat and like dogs.

My friends call me Bubba.

WARY of AI images and vibe coding, tho I do ALL of those. Believe AI gen Apps need a deep security audit BEFORE RELEASE, but that won’t happen.

I am Director of System Architecture at SCI Semiconductor and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. I remain actively involved in the #CHERI project, where I led the early language / compiler strand of the research, and am the maintainer of the #CHERIoT Platform.

I was on the FreeBSD Core Team for two terms, have been an LLVM developer since 2008, am the author of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (libobjc2 and associated clang support), and am responsible for libcxxrt and the BSD-licensed device tree compiler.

Opinions expressed by me are not necessarily opinions. In all probability they are random ramblings and should be ignored. Failure to ignore may result in severe boredom and / or confusion. Shake well before opening. Keep refrigerated.

DEF CON is the world's most influential hacker conference. Held every year since 1993 in Las Vegas, Nevada, DEF CON is the hub of a global community of hackers, security geeks and curious technophiles.

Working at front lines of the IT and having fun there. Been around the Internet since 1992 and still in awe what has become of that little baby.

Personal interests:

Everything i write, post, tweet, blog or blurp is just my personal opinion and is not the opinion or policy of my employer, my cat or my goldfish.

I post in English and German. Will try to mark each post correctly, but errors happen. Sorry for that.

I appologize if I am not following you back. This happens as my stream is already getting more posts than I can read.
