A photographer friend of mine had one of her sd memory cards die after a photo shoot. She’s tried Easeus and it can recover about 1300 of 1600 files, but she’s asking if there are other tools/tricks anyone knows from the forensics community that might be able to get the rest. I have a feeling there may just be some dead memory cells, but if there’s any chance to help, I’d like to. Thanks.

It’s about to be a rainy day at the beach

Getting tired of all the LLM-written emails recommending various “cyber experts” to be on the DefSec podcast. It feels like someone recently started an “agency” for wannabe experts to get them on podcasts. 🚮

If you run a matrix server, it’s time to upgrade! The matrix team disclosed and patched a vulnerability today. I still haven’t found details about the actual vulnerability yet. Bonus points that you also have to upgrade all the rooms to version 12 to be fully protected, and version 12 isn’t supported by all clients, and upgrading rooms doesn’t really upgrade the room, it creates a new room and invites the previous members to the new room and turns the former room into a pointer to the new room. And of course mod tools like draupnir have to be re-configured. 💩

Question for those at security summer camp: what social media handles are you seeing speakers including on their presentations this year? LinkedIn? X? Bsky? Fediverse?

This water droplet camera trigger setup is pretty cool. I have something new to subject everyone to...

Taking pictures of a miniature rose:

I’m pretty sure the last few hours is the longest stretch in weeks I’ve gone without suspending one of those damn mastodon verification scammers. Hopefully that is a sign they’ve given up and moved over to bsky or something

Damn man, they got Ozzie 😢
