Security is all about context.
Practical security thinking for systems that increasingly write, deploy, and operate themselves. Fewer buzzwords. Better evidence. Occasional memes.

FreeRDP FreeRDP
FreeRDP servers from 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 grow an unbounded receive buffer when a pre-authentication client streams bytes that are not a valid NLA frame. CVSS 4.0 8.7.
FreeRDP FreeRDP
FreeRDP clients on macOS and iOS before 3.32.0 compute an audio buffer size in 32-bit arithmetic, so a malicious RDP server can wrap the size and trigger a heap out-of-bounds write. CVSS 3.1 8.8.
FreeRDP FreeRDP
FreeRDP clients before 3.32.0 write one row past the destination planes when combining AVC444 video frames with an odd height, giving a malicious server a heap out-of-bounds write. CVSS 3.1 8.8.

Find leaked secrets without leaking them.
Paste code, config, or logs below. 112 detectors run entirely in your browser and return redacted findings, reasoned risk scores, and rotation guidance. Nothing uploads. Nothing phones home.
Inspect source material
No upload step exists. Files are read by your browser, scanned in memory, and discarded when the tab closes.
Findings
Ready when you are.
Add source material on the left. Results are pattern matches, not proof that a credential is active.
Latest transmissions
For the work after the scanner finishes yelling.
A field guide to agentic vulnerability management (with an actual off switch)
A practical operating model for introducing agents without confusing automation, authority, and accountability.
Finding vulnerabilities is getting cheaper. The backlog has noticed.
AI compresses the cost of discovery, but the expensive parts of vulnerability management still begin after the finding exists.
The vulnerability ticket is an interface, not a filing cabinet
A useful vulnerability record should help an owner decide and act—not merely preserve scanner output.
