I have just added support in #Diaphora for #IDA 9.0 (currently in beta). I wrote the changes this weekend, but I had to test multiple things... anyway, enjoy it.

Last week, Public Citizen’s Rick Claypool and I filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission based on my research into apparent campaign finance violations by the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange.

Resorts World Las Vegas announced they're performing periodic room checks for the duration of the blackhat / defcon hacking conference. When asked what they are looking for, one of the employees responded with "people hacking our stuff" ☠️

Reminds me of that old blog post by some dude who got pulled aside by the TSA so they could search his bag for "bitcoins".

The original Pentium chip was introduced in 1993. It was the first "superscalar" x86 chip, able to run two instructions per clock cycle. I took this die photo of the chip yesterday. The chip has three metal layers; the thick lines you see are the top metal layer, mostly power and ground. The silicon itself is almost entirely obscured. Around the edges of the chip, tiny bond wires connect to the bond pads, providing the connections to the chip's external pins. 1/N

New from 404 Media: we got a massive leak from inside Nvidia (emails, Slack chats, documents) which show how it created a yet-to-be-released AI model. The leak shows that Nvidia scraped YouTube en masse, had clearance from highest levels of the company https://www.404media.co/nvidia-ai-scraping-foundational-model-cosmos-project/

The flow is pretty straightforward:
First, the MotW is written when the from-the-internet ZIP is extracted, as any well-behaved (e.g. NOT 7-zip) archiving utility will do.

Then, as Windows parses the LNK file, it rewrites it to fix the path. In the process of doing this, the MotW is removed.

Finally, Windows checks to see if it needs to use SAC or SmartScreen. Because there is no MotW, the file is deemed "safe" and no SAC or SmartScreen comes into play. 🎉
