On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the news we missed while on break. Because it’s the first show of the year, we split the discussion into themes:
This week’s show is brought to you by Trail of Bits. Dan Guido is this week’s sponsor guest and he joins us to talk about something they’ve developed – a zero knowledge proof of exploit technique. Very interesting stuff!
Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Mastodon if that’s your thing.
