Vibe Coding Your MFA

Vibe Coding Your MFA
Ah, the future of security - where hackers don't even try to hide anymore! They just tweet your MFA code with a trendy hashtag. "Hey world, here's exactly how I'm breaking into someone's account right now! #VibeCoding #TotallyNotAHack" 👌 The best part? The timestamp is from 2025. Apparently in the future, hackers will be so confident they'll schedule their crimes in advance. Talk about work-life balance! And that verified checkmark really sells the legitimacy. Nothing says "trust me with your security" like paying $8 for a blue badge.

Ran Some Ware

Ran Some Ware
The dad joke that makes security professionals cry themselves to sleep. When someone asks where the IT guy went and responds with "He probably ran some ware " (ransomware), they've committed a pun so criminally bad it should be encrypted and held for ransom itself. Just like actual ransomware, this joke encrypts all joy in the room until someone pays the price of a courtesy laugh. Security teams everywhere are now implementing pun-detection software.

It Was Never Patched

It Was Never Patched
Four years of computer science education vs. one Android kernel vulnerability that says "You are now a developer." The duality of modern tech! Somewhere, a CS professor is crying into their algorithms textbook while script kiddies are getting root access with zero knowledge of Big O notation. That security hole has been letting people "become developers" since 2014, and Google's probably still marking it as "will fix in next release" on their Jira board.

From AI Hero To Security Zero

From AI Hero To Security Zero
Behold, the classic tech startup lifecycle: "I built this with no-code tools!" → "Help, I'm being hacked because I have no idea what I'm doing!" Nothing says "technical founder" like bragging about using Cursor AI to build your entire SaaS product, then acting shocked when your security falls apart like wet toilet paper. Meanwhile, actual developers are charging $1,000/hour to clean up the AI-generated spaghetti code. The "I'm not technical" confession after claiming AI built everything is just *chef's kiss*. Turns out you still need to understand what you're doing. Who knew?

APIs Vs Web Scrapers

APIs Vs Web Scrapers
The elegant waitstaff vs. the ragtag pirates perfectly captures the data access divide. APIs are like fancy servers bringing you data on a silver platter with proper documentation and rate limits. Meanwhile, web scrapers are the digital pirates who'll rip the data straight from the HTML's cold, dead hands when no API exists. After 15 years in the trenches, I've written both. The API is what you show the client. The scraper is what you build at 2 AM when the client's competitor suddenly becomes "very interesting" to them.

Santa's Database Security Is Coming To Town

Santa's Database Security Is Coming To Town
Little Tim tried to hack his way onto the nice list with a SQL injection attack, but Santa's not having it. The kid literally tried to use INSERT INTO [NiceList] SELECT * FROM [NaughtyList];-- to move everyone from the naughty list to the nice list. The real kicker? Santa's running his operation on "several dozen interconnected Excel spreadsheets, like a professional." That's the most terrifying part of this whole scenario. Imagine tracking billions of children's moral behavior in Excel. Absolute nightmare fuel for any data engineer.

Can You Hack

Can You Hack
Every developer has that one friend who thinks "can code" equals "can hack the Pentagon." The moment you mention you work with computers, they immediately assume you're some kind of digital sorcerer who can break into their ex's Instagram. What they don't understand is that most of us spend our days fighting with merge conflicts and Googling how to center a div for the 500th time. Hacking? I can barely get my code to compile before the standup meeting.

How To Become A Hacker: Hollywood Edition

How To Become A Hacker: Hollywood Edition
Ah, the classic "how to become a hacker" fantasy where knowing Vim is somehow equivalent to martial arts. This satirical masterpiece mocks those cringe-worthy "elite hacker" guides by combining actual technical concepts (DNS, root zones) with absurdly theatrical nonsense. The author brilliantly escalates from "learn Vim" to an international conspiracy involving the ICANN key holders (who are real, by the way), then devolves into a fever dream where Linux fanboys throw penguin-shaped ninja stars while Darude's Sandstorm plays dramatically in the background. My favorite part? The Nokia 3310 nunchucks—because nothing says "elite hacker" like weaponizing indestructible phones from 2000. It's basically what happens when someone watches Mr. Robot after chugging five Red Bulls and falling asleep with their mechanical keyboard as a pillow.

I Think It Is A Reason To Give Him This Job

I Think It Is A Reason To Give Him This Job
The ultimate penetration test! When the interviewer asks "what makes you suitable for this job?" and the candidate drops the bomb: "I hacked your computer and invited myself for this interview." Talk about demonstrating your skills instead of just listing them on a resume! This is basically the tech equivalent of breaking into a bank vault to apply for a security guard position. Practical experience > theoretical knowledge. The real power move isn't sending a follow-up email after the interview—it's hacking the HR system to schedule the interview in the first place. Unauthorized access has never been so career-advancing!

Always Doom

Always Doom
The ultimate flex in computing isn't fancy algorithms or clean code—it's getting Doom to run on literally anything with a circuit board. The iconic FPS game has been ported to calculators, printers, ATMs, and probably your smart fridge by now. It's basically the "Hello World" of hardware hacking, except with demons and shotguns. Those little cacodemon sprites at the bottom perfectly represent the gleeful chaos developers feel when they manage to cram a 1993 game into yet another device that has absolutely no business running it. Because in the world of tech, the question isn't "can we?" but "why haven't we yet?"

Salt: Making Hackers Cry And Chefs Smile

Salt: Making Hackers Cry And Chefs Smile
The cybersecurity pun that keeps on giving! In password security, "salt" refers to random data added to passwords before hashing them, making them significantly harder to crack with rainbow tables or brute force attacks. Meanwhile, chefs just get excited about basic seasoning. Hackers crying because you've ruined their day with proper security practices is the digital equivalent of Gordon Ramsay finding the lamb sauce. Security experts everywhere are quietly nodding while sipping their coffee from "My password is stronger than yours" mugs.

No I Can't Hack Your Facebook

No I Can't Hack Your Facebook
When you tell someone you're a "hacker" and they immediately assume you're a criminal who can break into any account... The frustration is so real it requires lethal force! This is basically the cybersecurity equivalent of telling someone you're a doctor and them immediately asking you to look at their weird rash in the middle of a dinner party. The absolute disconnect between actual security professionals (who spend their days writing documentation and staring at logs) versus the Hollywood "I can hack the Pentagon with three keystrokes" fantasy never gets old.
