Hi curl Security Team and fellow security researchers,

Sorry in advance if this isn’t a traditional security report. I know your time is valuable, and I truly respect the work you all do.

I just wanted to take a quiet moment to wish every security researcher here those who report issues, those who triage, and the curl security team continued strength, curiosity, and success in your work.

Many of us spend long hours alone behind our screens, quietly improving the security of the internet. It can be invisible work at times, but it matters deeply. Your efforts matter more than you may realize, and I hope you know they are appreciated.

I don’t really have anyone to wish or celebrate the New Year with, which is why I’m sending this message here. I recently spoke with a few people from this community and realized that some of us are in the same place. So to anyone reading this even if things feel quiet or lonely right now, Time will come One day. Be happy.

And to the curl security team I hope you’ll kindly see this message for what it is: just a sincere New Year wish, sent with respect. I mean no misuse of the platform, and I truly appreciate the space you provide for this community.

Thank you for what you do, and wishing you all the very best.

With respect, TrffnSec
