cryptography, security, and random thoughts

Hey! I'm David, cofounder of zkSecurity, research advisor at Archetype, and author of the Real-World Cryptography book. I was previously a cryptography architect of Mina at O(1) Labs, the security lead for Libra/Diem at Facebook, and a security engineer at the Cryptography Services of NCC Group. Welcome to my blog about cryptography, security, and other related topics.

I can’t stop coding this thing. What I’ve done today:

  • This is the query I’m using in google now : [your search] mp3 -facebook -youtube -soundcloud -last.fm -amazon -dailymotion -bleep
  • I’m now parsing google and the following links with jQuery: $(body).find('a') and then looking for good links with a regex. This is so much more quicker!
  • There is still a part that is taking some time though, it’s the metadata fetching. I still have to get every mp3 independently and download enough bits to learn its metadatas…

But it is working quite well as it is!

EDIT: I’m now fetching the metadata in parallel and it’s super fast! I’ve also fixed a ton.
