Now is one of the best times ever to write software, to solve problems with your own code. A non-trivial part of cybersecurity is engineering, and we can now build better tools than ever before.
Organizations I'm involved with and major projects I work on.
I'm a board member of the Toronto AI and Cybersecurity Organization (TAICO), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the state of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in Canada.
PID:one is a company I work with to help customers detect prompt injection attacks in their applications. These kinds of attacks will never go away, so it's important to build strong defense in depth.
A cybersecurity CLI tool and Python library for checksumming Model Context Protocol tools and securing your agents against prompt injection attacks.
Small software utilities and tools I've written.
A simple CLI tool to install Kubernetes on a local machine. Build a single machine, or a bunch. Also it's pretty fast because it's written in Go.
A fun Kubernetes admission controller that blocks deployments on Fridays.
A script that will setup all the tools you need to really use Kubernetes from the command line.
An example tool for building a chain of applications that can be traced.
