| Titre | Things I hearted this week, 29th March 2019 |
| Texte |
I search long and hard each week to find the best and most interesting security stories. These aren’t just news stories, but also interesting blogs and experiences people share.
One thing I’ve felt (I say feel because I don’t have scientific proof to back this up) is that fewer people are blogging regularly. Of those that do regularly blog, many have left their blogs and moved over to Medium - and I have nothing against Medium, I just don’t want my list to end up being just a bunch of Medium articles every week. The second thing is that a lot of people end up sharing their thoughts on a social media platform, such as a long post on LinkedIn or Facebook. Or worse still - they have a Twitter thread.
I could link to Twitter threads, but I feel these don’t accurately convey the message in the same way a blog does.
For example, Magen Wu has a great Twitter thread on career success. About how she feels she wasted time comparing herself to others and setting goals she wasn’t necessarily aligned to. With some good comments from others.
The question I guess I’m asking is that are social media platforms taking away from blogging, and given the short life span of tweets in particular, does it lessen knowledge sharing? Should I start a “Tweet threads I Hearted this week”. All are important questions.
While you ponder on that, here’s your regular dose of security things I hearted this week.

Androwarn
Androwarn is a tool whose main aim is to detect and warn the user about potential malicious behaviours developed by an Android application.
The detection is performed with the static analysis of the application's Dalvik bytecode, represented as Smali, with the androguard library.
This analysis leads to the generation of a report, according to a technical detail level chosen from the user.

I have to thank Jerry Gamblin for sharing this gem, that Google gives anyone with a Gmail account a free* Debian VM with 5GB of storage.

This Spyware data leak is so bad we can't even tell you about it
A consumer spyware vendor left a lot of incredibly sensitive and private data, including intimate pictures and private call recordings, for all to see on a server freely accessible over the internet. And it still hasn’t taken the data down.
