Ever seen two responses to one request? That's just pipelining... or is it? I've just published "Beware the false false-positive: how to distinguish HTTP pipelining from request smuggling" https://portswigger.net/research/how-to-distinguish-http-pipelining-from-request-smuggling

Is it me or Spotify has trouble tracking what time you are at in a track (progress bar jumps, finishes before the track does, etc.)?

I thought humanity solved this problem a few years back.

Whoopsie in Plesk. Kind of a fun one though.

https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/33785727869847-Vulnerability-CVE-2025-54336

In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70, _isAdminPasswordValid uses an == comparison. Thus, if the correct password is \"0e\" followed by any digit string, then an attacker can login with any other string that evaluates to 0.0 (such as the 0e0 string). This occurs in admin/plib/LoginManager.php.

@Viss @chillybot How do you do split DNS without systemd-resolved though? I guess it's possible, but I never figured out how...

@nuintari '80s kid from the Soviet block: you guys have manuals?

@womble It can do that (kind of...), and you could e.g. append "succesful" conversations to the initial prompt for adaption. But doing that once on sanitized data vs. continuously on user input are radically different risks.

@davidgerard This comment to the video seems on spot:

It seems McKinsey aren't aware that "agentic AI" is just an LLM that can utter some magic incantations that do stuff. It's like a difference between a chimpanzee with a typewriter vs a chimpanzee with a typewriter and a gun.

Don’t skip the linenoise section, a lot of great bits in there! https://haunted.computer/@phrack/115051910573337358

@GossiTheDog "they stall in enterprise use since they don’t learn from or adapt to workflows" - can't wait for some genius to make user prompts persist in the model so the whole thing can get poisoned!

Today I have a more serious topic than usual, please consider reposting for reach:

My wife and I are urgently looking for a specialist in neuropediatrics or a similar field for our autistic child with a diagnosed, but not further specified, movement disorder (myoclonus and/or spasms) to finally find a cause and, above all, an effective therapy. The symptoms are bothering our son ever since he’s born, now for more than nine years, seriously affecting his sleep. The usual processes and medical contact points have failed us unfortunately and he seems stuck in this condition.

We’re based in Berlin, Germany but really any contact with a specialist who would be willing to take on this case we’d be grateful for!

To reach use you can DM me or contact us via Email at unclear.condition@gmail.com

One of the most effective security controls you can ever invest in, is a decent work computer for your employees.

Yep, it’s a bit more cash up front to get a bit more RAM or a bit more CPU poke, but your job in IT/Security is to get people the gear they need to do their jobs without thinking ‘this would be quicker if I used….’

Because we all know what happens when your VP of Finance decides to prep the W2’s on their kids Alienware gaming desktop full of Minecraft plugins downloaded from every corner of the internet.

@TarkabarkaHolgy I've recently recognized a phenomenon that could be called "Dad Brain Syndrome" meaning that you can and will fall asleep given that no immediate family members are around.

Parenting is a hell of a drug!
