PUPPET WARP
Did you know there's a tool called "Puppet Warp" in Photoshop?
It's true. So there I was, puppet warping the Unicode Version 13.0 "Nesting Doll / Matryoshka" emoji, like a perfectly normal human being. (Unicode Version 13.0 was released on March 10, 2020.) A lattice reminiscent of facial recognition software appeared and I got to work.
According to emojis.wiki the Nesting Dolls Emoji is:
"...is an image of the Russian Dolls where there are smaller and smaller dolls inside of each doll. There are many layers to these dolls, so this emoji can be used if you are talking about how many layers hide deep within you. It can also be used to show that people have many faces underneath the one they show, so to be careful that who you may be talking to may not always be there.
Send it with the ⚠️ Warning emoji to protect others from the many faces of one person. Or send it with the 🧅 Onion emoji to better emphasize the many layers you have."
Nothing to unpack there. Anyways, MATRYOSHKA is out today. Here's the track list:
- The Payload Appeared Yesterday Due to a Zero Day Timezone Conversion
- Supply Chain Attack Surface
- A White USB Drive With "HEXAGON" iStock Logo #1135496271
- At Least One Reseller of Microsoft Cloud Services Was Compromised
- Matryoshka Shell 1 - Ransomware Was Discovered on the Executive’s Peloton
- Matryoshka Shell 2 - IoT Botnet DDoS
- Matryoshka Shell 3 - Distributed Cryptocurrency Mining Operation
- Matryoshka Shell 4 - International Date Line
- Matryoshka Shell 5 - 総会屋 (deepfake.S)
- Matryoshka Shell 6 - Schanuel's Conjecture (Evidence of Non-Human Origin)
- The Media Confused the Matter With Container Ships

CIPHER SUITE
You use cipher suites every day. You're much closer to Elliot Alderson than you realize. According to Wikipedia, a cipher suite is:
"...a set of algorithms that help secure a network connection. Suites typically use Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its now-deprecated predecessor Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The set of algorithms that cipher suites usually contain include: a key exchange algorithm, a bulk encryption algorithm, and a message authentication code (MAC) algorithm."
Click that little lock icon in your browser up by the URL and you can start to explore the encryption you use every day. You can make your own SSH key pair like this, too:
% ssh-keygen -t ed25519
Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/mbp/.ssh/id_ed25519):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /Users/mbp/.ssh/id_ed25519.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/mbp/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:0kv7znEhupmnDG+eyQAwWNgt8kwKzosGi4hpAmtf7HY mbp@mbp
The key's randomart image is:

Never share your private SSH keys with anyone. Do as I say, not as I do. This key is compromised.
CIPHER SUITE is the name of the second STUXNET demo:
- Trapdoor Function
- Asymmetric Encrypted Transport
- Forced Disclosure of Encryption Keys
- Chinese Remainder Theorem
- Hash Collision
- Something You Have
- Something You Know
- Something You Are

NIGHTLY STREAMS // UNREMEBERED DREAMS
I stream nightly at twitch.tv/tyleretters.
EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT
The STUXNET project doubles as an educational channel. For all releases, if you have the patience to learn the new internet protocol called gemini, you're rewarded with free download codes. Just visit gemini://tilde.club/~tse. (Normal browsers and email clients like the one you're probably reading this in don't really support links like this yet.) The CIPHER SUITE track list is a very short survey of cryptographic concepts. MATRYOSHKA’s track list hypothesizes a supply chain attack…
For those keeping score, OG Stuxnet was in the news today: https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-iran-358384f03b1ef6b65f4264bf9a59a458
