  • 7MS #714: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 81
    Mar 20 2026

    Hello friends! We're back with a fun tale of internal network pentest pwnage. This one highlights how AI can be used (with some guardrails!) to automate the boring stuff – and even help you pick part DLLs to find gold nuggets!

    P.S. – I do recommend you check out our last three episodes that are all about securing your community, and please check out this Rolling Stone article which will give you a full picture of what has been going on in Minnesota as it relates to the occupation of ICE agents.

    Mar 13 2026

    Hello friends, in today's edition of How to Secure Your Community, I give a brief recap of part 1 and part 2, and then dive into some cool phone shortcuts you can setup so that with a single tap, you can alert friends/family that you're having an encounter with law enforcement and may need an assist. Here's the things/links discussed:

    • This great Rolling Stone article which features interviews and first-hand stories of ICE encounters here in Minnesota
    • Fashlight.org page on security and privacy, which features some cool shortcuts you can setup on iPhone to alert friends/family that you're having a negative encounter with law enforcement (or anyone else)
    • How I allegedly stole somebody's quesadilla while I was at the movie theater seeing Scream 7
    • The one time my wife had an outburst in the middle of a church service

  • 7MS #712: How to Secure Your Community - Part 2
    Mar 6 2026

    Hello friends. Today's episode piggybacks off of last week's discussion of Operation Metro Surge and how it has affected the state of Minnesota. I also highly encourage you to read this Rolling Stone article which features interviews and first-hand stories of ICE encounters. And for those of you asking for a good org to support here in Minnesota, please support Haven Watch. They give rides/food to people who are detained by ICE and then cut loose – often without their jackets or phones – into the cold of winter with no ride home.

    Today I pivot more into the technical weeds and offer some tips on:

    • Securing your Signal app config
    • Hardening your iPhone config via lockdown mode
