As previously said it looks like I know what I’ll be doing the next few months: working on a DARPA funded project that I submitted to the Cyber Fast Track (CFT) program. I had paused because I wanted to confirm some stuff before writing more about it… here’s a brain dump of the process. I’ll write up what I’m doing in a later bit. I’m still struck – […]
