😈 The API Hacker Inner Circle

Hey friend 👋, Wow. October disappeared faster than a ghost at dawn – one minute it was haunting, the next it was history! Speaking of ghosts, did you have a cool Halloween costume this year? I thought about going as "The Great Pumpkin"... ... ok, maybe not the best idea I've had. Anyway, as I gorge on some of this halloween candy while in the city, I am staring at a book I picked up last month that you might find interesting. It's called the Web Hacking Arsenal: A Practical Guide to Modern...

Hey friend 👋, Well, I said I was talking most of August off. And I did. So this month in review doesn't include a lot of new articles. But lots of stuff did happen. First, we moved into our new oceanfront villa. That's been a game changer. I haven't had such long and deep sleeps in years. It's so calm and quiet here. And, who doesn't want a home office view like this? 👉🏻 It gave me lots of time to just sit, think, and read. In fact, I read a fascinating book on that deck in just a couple of...

Hey friend 👋, WTF, where did June go? I swear I blinked, and it was gone. Apologies for this newsletter not arriving yesterday. It was Canada Day, and I was out being loud and proud.

And not some funky flavour of Oreos (albeit they have some great Maple Cream Oreos out there), but some patriotic Maple Leaf Peek Freans. IYKYK. Canadians prefer Birthday cookies (or Nanaimo bars...

Hey friend 👋, April has been a bit intense. Ya, it started with jokers putting toothpaste in our Oreos. 🤢 It ended with some well-deserved R&R on the beaches of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. I can't complain too much; I mean, I was also introduced to Churro Oreos... I can't believe these are a thing... ... and it ended with long walks along the beach... Walking along Cox Bay for a week isn't a bad way to decompress... While I was away, I got to finish reading Pegasus: How a Spy in Your...

Hey friend 👋, How is it that in a leap year, February has gone by so fast? One minute it's Valentine's Day, and the next thing you know Leap Day jumps right past us. OK, a day late. But anything relating to quantum can fix that, right? The extra day in February did let me keep up with my reading. I've been reading The Hacker and the State: Cyber Attacks and the New Normal of Geopolitics. The book explores the profound impact of cyber warfare on global politics, detailing how state-sponsored...
