Scrutinize our assessments

The curl project explains how it now handles low and medium severity vulnerability reports in the open on GitHub. Reports go into curl's issue tracker and get tagged vuln:ASSESS for evaluation. Maintainers then apply vuln:NONE, vuln:LOW, or vuln:MEDIUM based on the outcome, and anyone can comment to challenge an assessment with a reasonable argument. Confirmed vulnerabilities get a CVE and a dedicated advisory in the curl-www repository, which stays open as a pull request. Information becomes public once a CVE ID is assigned, but it isn't published to the CVE database until the fix ships in a curl release.

Pwn.college

pwn.college is a free, hands-on education platform for learning core cybersecurity and hacking skills, maintained by a team at Arizona State University. Learners progress through belt ranks, starting with a 'white belt' and earning belts through practice. Hackers continue beyond the platform to 'brown belt' and eventually 'black belt' status, which must happen outside the dojo. The site powers much of ASU's cybersecurity curriculum and asks users not to post writeups or walkthrough videos of challenge solutions. It points learners toward CTFtime.org for Capture The Flag events and a GitHub list of wargames for further practice. The underlying infrastructure is open source and accepts pull requests, though some modules remain closed-source.

Skills across coding assistants

I love Claude Code, but I use it so much that I regularly exhaust my weekly quota before the week ends. When that happens, I usually switch to other free-tier CLIs, e.g., Google Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, and, just last week, Mistral’s Vibe. I really wanted to try Vibe to evaluate the feasibility of moving away from Claude Code in favor of a more sovereign solution. Vibe only offers a single model by default, Mistral Medium 3.5.
