I misread the title "Who is hiring?" today as "Who is retiring?" and got excited to read that thread. I was disappointed to see that wasn't the case, so figured I might ask, who is retiring this month? What was your career like? What are you looking forward to doing now? What country did you work in and what was it like?

The past few weeks I've been working on an implementation of DuckyScript3 used for keystroke injections attacks. See [1] for the official RubberDucky USB key page.

My goal is to write a python interpreter to port as much commands as possible to run them on a RaspberryPi pico. It's a fun side project that I've loved working on lately.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As mentioned in the README of the project, I am in no way affiliated with Hack5, which is the creator of the original USB RubberDucky and the DuckyScript language.

Here is a link to another project on this topic, [2] which inspired me for doing this. At first I tried to contribute to this project but I got no answers from the owner and the way the code was written didn't correspond to the way I would have done it, so it gave me the motivation to create my own.

I've learned lots and lots thanks to crafting interpreters [3], written by Bob Nystrom

Hey! I'm Dvir, and I've been working on something I think you might find interesting: Eartho - an open-source sign in alternative that gives you the convenience of social logins without the privacy tradeoffs.

We all use social logins (90% of us do!) because they're convenient. But every time I clicked "Sign in with Google," I felt like I was just feeding more data into their machine. Each login becomes another data point for tracking. Beyond that, I know some users are hesitant to use social logins on apps they might prefer to keep private, like dating apps or other personal services, where they don’t want their usage publicly or even personally associated with a main account.

There's something fundamentally broken about relying on Google, whose mission is "organizing the world's information," to be our gatekeeper for login and identity. Why should a company focused on search and ads be our default choice for authentication? Even if they're the "least bad" option right now, it's like using a hammer to turn a screw - it works, but it's not what the tool was built for.

So I built Eartho. It acts as a privacy-preserving layer between social providers and the apps you use. When you connect through Eartho, the social provider (Google, Facebook, etc.) only sees that you're using Eartho - not which specific app you're accessing. Think of it as a privacy shield for your logins.

How It's Different - Fully open-source: Every line of code is transparent

- Privacy-first: Your login data isn't used; masked email; hold multiple identities, spaces for services of personal, work, private; and more features..

- Single focus: Unlike big tech companies where auth is a side project, this is our main focus

- Works with existing providers: Use any social login you want, but with actual privacy

-Many more...

Technical Details The architecture is pretty straightforward - Eartho sits as a middleware layer, handling the OAuth flow while stripping out unnecessary tracking. We've focused on making the developer experience as smooth as possible too. Check out our GitHub for the full technical docs and FAQ.

It’s early days, and I know it sounds ambitious. You might think this is just for privacy fans, but I believe it could become the go-to login for everyone—even those who aren’t privacy-focused—by being as convenient as Google. And with Google facing pressure over its competition with OpenAI, it feels like the right time to rethink who we trust with our logins.

Looking for Feedback:

Developers: Would love your thoughts on the implementation

Users: What would encourage you to try an alternative to traditional social logins? What privacy features matter most to you?

Business: Which markets do you think we should prioritize initially? It seems logical to target markets with privacy concerns, where users prefer not to have certain services appear in their usage history. But is that truly the best starting point for us?

If anyone wants to try integrating it, I'm happy to help!
