What Do 2025 CVE Numbers Mean? An Intro.
[This was originally my proposed introduction for Flashpoint’s 2026 Global ThreatIntelligence Report. Due to the style of the report and covering a lot more intelligence sectors than vulnerabilities, only pieces of this were used. So I am publishing the entire original draft here for posterity.] The fact that there were over 48,000 CVEs published last…

NaClCON Talks I Am Excited For
Earlier this month, I published “My Unofficial NaClCON FAQ” talking about a new security conference (NaClCON) that I am excited for. It’s still a bit surprising to myself that I am interested in one at all. I fully thought I was done with them, but here we are! After participating on the Call For Papers…

YouTube: I Don’t Think You Understand Your Userbase
It’s pretty rare that I use YouTube on a television, typically only if in the mood for specific music. Even then it tends to be a handful of videos as my ‘go to’. Earlier this month I was in the mood for such a concert and loaded it. I am authenticated as my Google account,…

The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2014 – 2015)
After my last blog on the draft graveyard, which was the first, I am down to 117 that go back to 2014. Twelve years is a bit too long to sit on a blog typically. So like before, here are ideas I had to write about but never did. What is really interesting to me…

Reason #42 Why InfoSec Has Failed
Building on a prior post, with an admittedly arbitrary number that seems to be about right as far as the number of reasons, and more in this series coming in the future… This is a quick story to give readers an idea of just how bad our industry really is. This is not anecdotal either,…

My Lego Build: The Revolt
It started with an amusing meme of a Lego squirrel about to cut a park ranger. That 10×10 tiny build was the inspiration for a much bigger version of it, that kept expanding. Trying to recreate even the small version provided a challenge, going through BrickLinks to find the ranger top, hat, knife, and even…

The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2010 – 2013)
I’ve been sitting on 145 drafts in this blog, many going back as far as 2010. Slowly going through them, I try to figure out what my point was in some cases due to anemic notes. For others the decision is if it is still worth publishing. If so, do I bring it to today’s…
