When cops use Flock to arrest someone in Wapello County, Iowa, they don’t want them to know. A usage policy for the automated license plate reader cameras in the county tells police, in no uncertain terms, to keep them a secret: “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, [...]

Web fuzzing for hackers
by Ayoub and Orwa Atyat on 20/08/2026
Fuzzing has been around for as long as web applications have. In fact, the term itself was coined back in 1988, when Barton Miller, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, was working over a dial-up connection during a thunderstorm and noticed that the resulting line noise was consistently crashing the UNIX utilities he was running. Web fuzzing is no different. Despite the rise of automated sc [...]

How Trail of Bits helps verify the integrity of your Signal chats

Every Signal chat starts the same way: the client asks the Signal server for the public key associated with your contact’s phone number. But how do you know the server gave you the right key? A compromised server could provide a false public key, allowing the client to encrypt messages to an attacker rather than the intended recipient.
Until now, the only way to detect such malfeasance was to veri [...]

can offload key management tasks from their applications to the AWS-managed service. But integrating
an external service with your trusted enclaves comes with new threats, even if that service comes
