COMSYS Researchers on the Never Post Podcast
COMSYS researchers Jan Pennekamp and Johannes Lohmöller were interviewed by Never Post about their IEEE S&P ‘26 paper on “hidden” information in arXiv source files.
In the episode “Doxxing Yourself For Science”, host Mike Rugnetta talks with Jan and Johannes about how researchers unintentionally disclose sensitive content when uploading the LaTeX sources of their preprints, and why such information is so hard to remove once it is out there.
