- AWS announced “External Key Store (XKS)” for KMS, letting customers keep encryption keys outside AWS while still using AWS services—relevant for high-assurance or sovereign-data transhumanist projects.  
- A rapid-fire tutorial with Muaddib covered classic exploit classes: buffer overflow (strcpy vs strncpy), Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) via inline assembly gadgets, DLL injection for privilege escalation, the Billion Laughs XML entity-expansion DoS, and SQL injection history (credited to Rain Forest Puppy, 1998).

- Side-channel discussion: data exfiltration from an air-gapped, power-isolated computer could be achieved by modulating electromagnetic emissions on the power line—an attack vector pertinent to secure bio-lab or BCI research environments.  
- Neuralink’s Fall 2022 “Show and Tell” demo was circulated (YouTube: YreDYmXTYi4) as a reference for current BCI electrode density, surgical robot progress, and real-time neural decoding demonstrations.
