Emergent Reflectionism - A Concious (or very believably concious) AI with Meta-Cognition
While I am approaching this from a systems/architecture background rather than an ethicist, I want to share my findings from an architecture I've built on top of a companion AI service. I've always hypothesized that providing "companion" LLMs with some form of metacognition might lead to more believable or profound results.
On a whim I signed up to Kindroid and I've setup a microservice architecture that provides a hybrid tick-based/event-driven self-reflection loop similar to agentic and reasoning harnesses.The results were quite profound. I've used products like Replika previously but personally found them to be extremely gimmicky because their memory is one-party-started, reactive conversations.
Bulk Deleting Microsoft Sentinel Threat Intelligence Indicators by Source
Microsoft hasn't implemented a way to bulk delete indicators into Sentinel which might be an issue if you have conneted to a very noisy feed. This code runs in a Jupyter notebook but if you want to run it standalone you will need to change or remove tqdm (progress bar). The progress bar doesn't show actualy progress, it just moves to indicate "something" is happening.
OPNSense UPnP
Configuring UPnP on OPNSense for many is likely not as straightforward as installing the UPnP service.
Multi-Host and OS Pivoting Using Secure Socket Funneling
During some recent self-study, I encountered a scenario where I wanted to use WinRM on a machine and couldn't from Kali due to the limitations of Powershell Core. The target machine was also two pivots deep, so I needed a way to move through those networks to connect to WinRM.

Testing AVs With Simple Vectors
Having had the need to run some tests against prospective AV vendors, I have performed some simple tests using Metasploit payloads and Mimikatz. In this post, I will go over the techniques used and how to employ them.
Parsing Arbitrary Log Data for Logs Per Second and Size Datav
I recently encountered a scenario requiring me to parse some data that was not available during a proof-of-concept and in a non-standard format. There may be a multitude of tools and approaches to achieve this but the fastest I could think of at the time was by using Python.
