🛠 🍎 👾 Objective-See'ing & DoubleYou'ing
Stoked for the next (ad)venture: "DoubleYou" techcrunch.com/2024/04/25/ex-… Cofounded w/ long-time friend @hexlogic, we're empowering those building security tools for Apple devices 🍎🛡️ And by bootstrapping this venture, our core value of democratizing security remains our focus!
Heck yeah, you've got @dillon_franke 's Mach talk. Also, @patrickwardle and "Dylib Hijacking on macOS: Dead or Alive?" I was literally just telling someone the other day how I thought it was basically dead on modern macOS. I might have to update my opinion. :)
Had an amazing time at #OFTW (@objective_see)! Loved Martina Tivadar's training "How to Use LLMs to Detect macOS Malware"! Great talks, people & vibes! Huge thanks to trainers, speakers, sponsor @KandjiOfficial and especially @patrickwardle & Andy R. for making it all possible❤️
