You can only Honk if you Oink first
this turned up in our codebase today my team is talking about "oink" in slack and i have no idea what's going on

We like the @kevaundray
Kev Wedderburn is the father, architect, and team lead behind @NoirLang, a universal ZK circuit writing language funded by Aztec Labs. We’re excited to bring you a profile of the enigma behind the DSL transforming ZK programming: aztec.network/blog/interview…

Little known fact: Aztec boot camp is an actual bootcamp
Literally being forced to use ZK at gunpoint by @Zac_Aztec

We made a thing
Today we're announcing Aztec Sandbox, a local developer testnet for smart contract privacy. Aztec Sandbox is the most ambitious software release in Aztec Labs history and the first major step toward Aztec's endgame: A fully decentralized, privacy-preserving Layer 2.

Is someone monitoring the @CryptoHack__ github? I submitted a PR to the ctf_archive some time ago, but there is no activity

Congratulations to @Verichains. Beautiful attacks on t-ECDSA implementations.

CTFZone is tomorrow. I heard there are going to be some cryptography tasks 😉
We're announcing CTFZone 2023 Quals: online, jeopardy, 36 hours; August 12, 9:00 (UTC). Finals: online, attack-defense; November 2023. Prize money: up to $10,000. Register now at ctftime.org/event/1955

I guess SGX-based blockchain vendors have to patch again. Who could have known that there would be another vulnerability. This time it's AVX.

If you want to learn about Aztec's upcoming architecture, a wonderful talk by Aztec Lab's @mike_connor has just been published. Mike's got the gift of the gab, so I'd highly recommend watching how we are trying to build a "zk-zk-Rollup"

Is there someone from @DelendumV I can contact directly? It seems their benchmark project is not being monitored by the team

I had a blast at the ZKSummit9 last week. I wanted to thank @AnnaRRose @kobigurk and everyone else who made it happen. This was my first ZKSummit and I loved it.

I was extremely lucky to give a talk, too. If you are interested in various ways of improving circuit security, here is my talk on the fuzzing approach. youtube.com/watch?v=ItVUCP1E…

It seems even without ÆPIC SGX as a single security mechanism is just not enough
New speedrunning category unlocked: "snip20% glitchless." We found and demonstrated more privacy hazards in TEE-based blockchains, especially Secret Network, this time without breaking the TEE itself eprint.iacr.org/2023/378 @nerlsss @lilioneviola @tom_yurek @iseriohn42 @sbellem

@youtubemusic is a unique music app. The only one that managed to lose the voice frequencies in a song (same on several devices). The vocals are just gone. I'm wondering what sort of bug could lead to this.

@CTFZone competition is in full swing and there are a few cryptographic challenges. I've spent a ton of effort making one of them (buggy asm), it is probably the hardest CTF task I've ever created. See if you can solve it 😉
This was a very nice challenge. Thanks to @__geometry__ for organising it. Finally looked at Groth16.

Replying to @Hacker0x01
@Hacker0x01 Is there any way for bug bounty hunters to contact you, since you ignore [email protected]?
Apparently, @pedroysb developed a solver for 90% of crypto < 300 CTF tasks. Good thing we now have SIDH and Rainbow to switch to for those.
