I’m keeping an eye on issues in case something urgent comes up but it’s very unlikely I will be active for some time. I’m still very excited about these projects but I’m dealing with some personal issues at the moment.11 May 2026 13:46 +0000at://did:plc:uqrryaveb7djvaatfljbdhcb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mllfxbupus23https://blacksky.community/profile/joel.drapper.me/post/3mk666bysuc2nIt has never been easier or cheaper to find and exploit zero-days.

I haven’t tested this because I don’t have $5,000 of credits but I think the answer is yes, you could probably find several in a few days.23 Apr 2026 08:56 +0000at://did:plc:uqrryaveb7djvaatfljbdhcb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk5ndb7h6s2ohttps://blacksky.community/profile/joel.drapper.me/post/3mk5moj7sf22oWhen a new model is released, malicious actors have the advantage over maintainers when it comes to using the LLM to find security vulnerabilities. The attacker can scan hundreds of packages in a few minutes, far quicker than a hundred maintainers will scan their own packages, let alone fix them.23 Apr 2026 08:44 +0000at://did:plc:uqrryaveb7djvaatfljbdhcb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk5moj7sf22ohttps://blacksky.community/profile/joel.drapper.me/post/3mjde7dfttk2fI’m not going to be able to do open source for a little while apart from working on urgent security issues.
