A small Windows RE adventure to figure out how to get the status and configuration of a BitLocker protected drive programmatically and without admin privileges.

Now also implemented in PrivescCheck! 🔥

Node.js pauses bug bounty program after a funding lapse

They were sponsored by IBB, a program funded by Microsoft, Meta, Adobe, and a bunch of other tech giants

Unclear what happened there

@wdormann similar experience when using itunes for the first and the last time: importing a disk is nowhere to be found in the menu. The only way to do that is drag&drop. Like, how am I supposed to figure that out?

Here's a fun post for pro- and anti-AI infosec people alike - guess who is going to have to "fix" AI? If you're thinking "not me" well, think again.

@drwho @simplenomad Yeah, apparently they got the AV working...

🎥 New video about QEMU!

This time, Anton walks through the basics of QEMU system mode using a simple bare metal program! ⚙️

The focus is on understanding how QEMU’s high-level control flow works, from guest code to BIOS, and down to device implementation.

🫡 We’re back.

Today, we’re publishing vulnerabilities we discovered, disclosed, and chained to achieve pre-auth RCE against Progress ShareFile.

Enjoy the journey with us, while you sob into your hands 🫠

@jdonoghue Exactly, see my other replies in the thread!

@troed This may be it, thanks! Still, a shortsighted stance a and a very badly phrased sentence.

@twomikecharlie OK this sounds plausible, but I find it hard to come to this conclusion (or any) from the original sentence. Esp. because the "only sane way to stay safe" part is simply false (see supply chain issues, breaking changes, etc.).

@twomikecharlie But CVEs have very little to do with exploits. Also, there is a whole range of perfectly valid strategies to manage risk from vulns (see my 2nd post in the thread).

I'm all for fixing all vulns, but reality just doesn't work like that and I don't see how the problem statement (some vulns are becoming easier to discover) would affect this.

1) "people will finally understand that security bugs are bugs" - Tautology?
2) "the only sane way to stay safe is to periodically update" - What about attack surface reduction? Risk based mitigations? How does this assertion relate to 1)?
3) "without focusing on 'CVE-xxx'" - CVEs are useful to find information to implement appropriate controls (see 2)). Unless of course the CNA spams the database with useless data....

'people will finally understand that security bugs are bugs, and that the only sane way to stay safe is to periodically update, without focusing on "CVE-xxx"'

Anyone care to explain the logical flow of this sentence? o.O

Is it just me or this photo is also a great capture of a toddlers view on their first introduction to the potty? :D

important update: they fixed the toilet

TWO THINGS:

1. it’s shocking how well written this terms of service document is. #Microslop uses plain language and proper emphatic formatting to identify what’s important.

2. this was updated on October 24, 2025. since then NOT ONE TECH JOURNALIST has read it; because, not one tech "journalist" has reported that #Copilot IS MEANT AS #ENTERTAINMENT.

Fourth Estate my ass.
