But I always felt with working so much on a computer that it's so digital, it's so intangible that I wasn't feeling that fulfilled by it. So when I was at university, I decided to get a hobby that had absolutely nothing to do with computers. So I learned how to knit. I knit, I crochet, I sew, I do embroidery because this is an audio podcast.

You can't see it, but behind me, I have a giant Cthulhu that I crocheted in my office that I use as office decor.

Yeah, I think it's very easy to, you know, you don't get the same reward when you deploy code as you do when you physically can see something that's taken 30 hours of your life to produce and you can touch it and you can interact with it. It's why I think security people love lockpicking. Like everybody's hobby is lockpicking because we crave the material.

for people unaware an api is just a piece of software that isn't designed for humans to consume it's actually designed for other pieces of software to consume the results of so it means that apis are mainly used in integrated things so you want to connect your facebook up to your i don't know smart home That's an API.

If you have a mobile app that you want to share the same code base as a desktop app, you're going to use an API. APIs are so ubiquitous and they're such like an everyday thing. We could probably name one that you've used today. If you have a smart home, you use APIs.

if you have an app on your phone it's api everything is apis now because everything is apis and everything is interconnected they just get forgotten eventually all knowledge dies out as especially in technology when we've got the next big thing happening what happens to the old next big thing Everybody has jumped on AI and replacing everything with chat GPT.

But what is going to happen to everything else? The answer is the last developer who worked on it leaves the company and the company has no idea this API exists. The only record of this API ever existing was in the developer's head. Now that they're gone, they have no idea. And this creates such a massive security hole because maybe that API is written really well.

Maybe they were on the ball and that API is going to work for years More likely, though, it's going to be insecure and it's going to be the way that a bad guy gets in and actually manages to exploit the API. A lot of the time we hear things like shadow APIs, rogue APIs. We've even got threat actors publishing their own APIs now. So we've got evil APIs and just APIs that are undocumented.
