This blog was originally published on Descope. OpenAI's Custom GPTs offer a powerful way to create AI agents that can interact directly with your APIs through natural language conversations. Imagine you have a deployed FastAPI application that implements DevOps tools such as triggering CI/CD workflows, getting deployment logs, usage analytics, and other operational tasks. While integrating your AP
It's 3am UTC. Someone in your Discord pastes a transaction hash and the message: "did i just get drained??" What happens next is mechanical. A moderator opens the block explorer, scrolls past gas limits and method calls and log topics, decodes the transfer, translates 0xa9059cbb into "this was an ERC20 transfer," cross-references the destination address, then types something like "looks like you s

A LinkedIn recruiter pitched me a remote "Software Engineer at a DEX" project this week. Reasonable comp range, tech stack squarely in my wheelhouse. After a couple of friendly exchanges, she asked me to "review the codebase before the technical interview" and sent me a GitHub repo link plus a Calendly invite for the call. The repo was malware. It didn't get me, but it's something developers shoul
Harbor cities understand accumulated risk. Cargo moves in quietly. Weather shifts by degrees. One bad assumption can sit unnoticed until it reaches critical mass. Halifax has lived with that kind of memory for more than a century. On December 6, 1917, a collision in Halifax Harbor triggered the largest man-made explosion prior to the atomic bomb, a disaster that directly changed the lives of over
On April 7 Anthropic published technical Mythos report,as well as announced Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing. The claim was that their newest model could autonomously identify and exploit real vulnerabilities in major open-source projects at unprecedented scale. One of Anthropic's public showcase examples was the Linux kernel, which is not some toy repo but the operating system underne
In today's digital landscape, website security isn't just a best practice—it's a necessity. From protecting user data to boosting your SEO, an SSL certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) is non-negotiable. Yet, many domain registrars, including Namecheap, often push users towards paid SSL solutions, despite excellent free alternatives existing. This guide will walk you through how to implement free SSL
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on lately. The premise is simple: every time we share a photo or a document, we inadvertently leak a massive amount of personal data — from home GPS coordinates to camera serial numbers and even the edit history of a PDF. Using "online privacy services" to clean your files always felt like a paradox to me (sending private data to a s
