I never wanted a little dog…

Almost 19 years ago we decided we wanted a dog, and somehow ended up with this adorable Chihuahua, Emily Rose. I had no idea how much I would love this annoying little dog, and yes…she could be very annoying when you tried to get her to do anything. We lost her 3 years ago, and still miss her.

I was NOT a fan when she was part of The Daily Wire. Not my thing at all. Now that she is on her own, I DO like her. I actually subscribed on YouTube.

It’s no secret that I am anti-religion. Here is a sample video, and it couldn’t be more different that the old days on DW. Give her a listen, she’s entertaining.

RSS and other feeds

Here are solid RSS feeds focused on zero-day (0-day) and actively exploitable vulnerabilities. True 0-days (unpatched, actively exploited or publicly disclosed with no fix yet) are rare and often appear first via coordinated disclosure programs, exploit databases, or known-exploited lists rather than generic CVE feeds.

zerodayinitiative.comTop recommendations for 0-day / exploitable issues

  • Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) – Upcoming Advisories
    https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/rss/upcoming/
    Excellent for early heads-up. Vulnerabilities appear here once the vendor is notified and the public-disclosure countdown starts (often before a patch or full advisory).
  • Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) – Published Advisories
    https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/rss/published/
    Released advisories (many involve high-impact bugs that started as 0-days).
  • ZDI Blog
    https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog?format=rss (or https://www.thezdi.com/blog?format=rss)
    Research write-ups, Pwn2Own results, and deeper analysis.
  • Exploit-DB
    https://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml
    Public exploits, PoCs, and many 0-day / remote/local/webapp issues as they are published. Very practical for “exploitable right now.” community.emergingthreats.net
  • Full Disclosure mailing list
    https://seclists.org/rss/fulldisclosure.rss
    Raw researcher disclosures; frequently includes new or unpatched issues.

Known Exploited / high-priority (often recent 0-days that hit the wild)CISA’s official KEV RSS was discontinued, so use these maintained alternatives:

  • https://cisa.kevintel.com/rss.xml (community-maintained, updates frequently)
  • https://vulnerability.circl.lu/known-exploited-vulnerabilities.rss (or .atom)
  • CVEDatabase KEV additions: https://cvedatabase.com/feed/cve/kev

Other useful high-signal feeds

  • Talos Vulnerability Reports: https://www.talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/feed
  • watchTowr Labs: https://labs.watchtowr.com/feed (or /rss/)
  • Critical/high CVEs (broader but useful filter):
    • https://cvedatabase.com/feed/cve/critical
    • https://cvedatabase.com/feed/cve/high
    • Recent CVEs: https://cvedatabase.com/feed/cve/recent

Quick tips

  • Subscribe to the ZDI upcoming + Exploit-DB + a KEV feed combination for the best coverage of true 0-days and actively exploited issues.
  • Use a good RSS reader (Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, or a self-hosted option like FreshRSS/Tiny Tiny RSS) and apply keyword filters (e.g., “0-day”, “zero-day”, “RCE”, “unauthenticated”, high CVSS) if the volume is high.
  • Pair with X/Twitter lists of vulnerability researchers or Project Zero for the absolute earliest chatter, then cross-check the RSS items.
  • HITCON ZeroDay has some community RSS generators on GitHub if you want additional regional coverage, but the ones above are the most reliable mainstream sources.

These should keep you current without drowning in every low-severity CVE. Start with the ZDI upcoming and Exploit-DB feeds.

This has been the most freeing experience I have every had.

To some, this would be a sad event. For me, it has been liberating.

I spent years in various sportbike groups, enjoying riding, and events, and lunches out. Long story, short…I was involved in a really bad wreck, hit by another rider. Hung it all up.

For a couple years I’d get some of the group together and we’d have lunch, etc. But…one day I realized that I was the only reason it was happening. What I thought was a bunch of 2-way relationships was WRONG. Sooo, how to test this.

I stopped. I mean literally stopped contacting them. I wanted to see which of them would reach out to setup the next lunch, etc. No one did, not a single time. At first I was offended, but then I realized that I didn’t need any of that. Being offended is a choice, and I chose not to be. I took the energy that I used to spend on thinking about them, and contacting them, and getting them to agree on where to meet…blah, blah, blah, and applied it to ME.

Wow, talk about freedom. I realized that I don’t give a fuck about any of that. I don’t care what they may think. I don’t care if they don’t like me, or ever did. It’s really cool.

If you wonder/worry about what your “friends” think about you, you’d be very surprised just how little they actually think about you at all.
