2023 NFL conference title picks, odds: Bengals defense keeps Chiefs in check, Eagles exploit 49ers’ weaknesses

/in


Just four teams remain standing in the NFL playoffs, and on Sunday our matchup for Super Bowl LVII will be finalized. This postseason has been a profitable one for us over here as we’ve pegged the playoff bracket perfectly, picking each game on the money line exactly. Our 7-2-1 ATS mark in the postseason — which includes a 3-1 ATS record in the divisional round last week — isn’t too shabby either. 

Now that I’m done jinxing myself with that pat on the back, we’ll look to keep those good vibes rolling all the way to Arizona for the Super Bowl. First, let’s hammer out these picks for Championship Weekend where only one No. 1 seed survives. 

2022 record

Playoffs
ATS: 7-2-1
ML: 10-0-0

Regular season
Locks of the Week ATS: 41-45-4
ATS: 125-137-9
ML: 172-97-2

Featured Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers

The improbable Cinderella run by Brock Purdy and the 49ers has been one of the more enjoyable aspects of the 2022 season, but I see this story coming to a close on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles are a tough draw for San Francisco because they are well-equipped to attack the 49ers’ few weaknesses. 

Philadelphia’s offense should be able to throw on this Niners secondary, particularly deep. Kyle Shanahan’s defense ranks in the bottom five in the NFL in completion percentage, touchdown-to-interception ratio, and passer rating against throws 25+ yards down the field. Meanwhile, that’s part of what Jalen Hurts does best. The Eagles quarterback has a passer rating of 125.0 on throws 25 or more yards downfield and has 10 touchdowns to just one interception on those throws. After a quiet divisional round, A.J. Brown should be the main beneficiary of Philly’s attempt to exploit that weakness, especially with seven of his 11…

Conference registration opens for Lawfire readers for Duke’s 28th Annual National Security Law Conference! – Lawfire

/in


I’m pleased to announce that registration is now open for Duke’s 28th Annual National Security Law Conference!  presented by Duke Law’s Center on Law, Ethics and National Security (LENS).  Because seats are very limited we wanted to make an announcement specifically for you as a Lawfire® reader before we opened the portal on the conference website and other public venues. If you’d like to attend (in-person only this year), please register ASAP on the registration portal is found here.

What you will experience…

There’s lots of variety in the ‘ripped-from the-headlines’ topics the conference’s world-class speakers will be addressing.  I think you’ll agree if you check out the agenda found here.

An “Early Arrival” session co-sponsored with Duke Law’s National Security Law Society will take place on Thursday, February 23 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in Room 3041 at Duke Law.  Practitioners from the military, government, private industry, and ‘big law’ will discuss “Careers in National Security Law.”  They’ll explain to students, young attorneys, and others how national security law can be involved in a number of different practice venues. (Conference registration for this event is not required).

On Friday morning, the LENS Conference officially begins with Professor Nita Farahany’s keynote entitled, “The Battle for Your Brain: Neurotechnology and National Security.”  You should expect a presentation that gives new meaning to the term ‘eye-opening’.  She’ll reflect on the national security implications of neurotechnology, and share insights from her new book, “The Battle for Your Brain:Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.”  (You may also have a chance to purchase a copy of her book that she’ll autograph.)

It won’t come as a surprise to readers that we’ll have a panel of top experts addressing “The Russo-Ukraine Conflict and the Law of War.”  You’ll hear from such renowned scholars as professors Geoff Corn, Laurie Blank, and Rob Lawless in a discussion moderated by retired Army judge advocate (and legendary law of armed conflict expert!) Colonel Dave Graham.

Black Hat Europe 2022: Hacking tools showcased at annual security conference

Aids and techniques demonstrated at this year’s arsenal track

Black Hat Europe 2022: Hacking tools from this year's conference

Tools to enable the work of security researchers, pen testers, and bug bounty hunters were demonstrated at this year’s Black Hat Europe conference, held at London’s Excel Centre this week.

The annual security conference saw hackers from across the world gather to share research and other insights.

One of the conference’s regular features is the arsenal track, where attendees can witness live demos of various hacking tools.

Node Security Shield

One of the tools showcased this year, Node Security Shield, “provides zero-day protection for NodeJS applications”, Lavakumar Kuppan of Domsdog Security, which created the tool, told The Daily Swig.

“It is a defensive tool designed to be used by developers as well as security engineers,” they said.

“Existing defensive systems like WA [web application firewall], RASP or any of the supply chain attack protection systems all take a similar approach. They look for known bad patterns. This approach is fine for blocking well known attacks, but it is ineffective against zero-days.

“Node Security Shield takes the opposite approach. Application owners typically know and can define the expected behavior of their application. Node Security Shield ensures that only the defined good behavior is allowed, and any deviations are either blocked or trigger an alert.”

Node Security Shield supports a ‘Resource Access Policy’, inspired by Content Security Policy, a simple JavaScript object where the application owner defines the expected behavior of their app.

“This enables us to block or provide exploitation mitigation against zero-day attacks. Also this approach is extremely fast compared to the other systems that have to compare every incoming request against an ever increasing list of attack patterns.

“With systems like WAF and RASP (runtime application self-protection) there is a risk of legitimate functionality being affected because it is unclear what those products will block and allow. That risk is significantly less with this approach since the application owners have a very clear…
