@mainframed767 @fennix IBM Z Xplore is also nice because it exposes you to a bunch of different concepts and areas of basic mainframe tech, so if something sparks your interest you can then seek out specific training for those components, some of which are also free

When I got started with hardware hacking etc @travisgoodspeed was (and is) one of my heroes.

Now there’s a chapter in his new (awesome) book on a vuln I found. Feels awesome.

Thanks Travis for all your contributions to our community.

Also, you should buy his book!

A Formal Analysis of SCTP: Attack Synthesis and Patch Verification

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@kaoudis/112966710334172131

https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/schilling this looks like if viable for real world use, something that could make binary-only target thread sanitization checks possible. I love how accessible sanitizers are; they’re the gateway drug of llvm instrumentation. I am also looking forward to reading this~

https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/feng-siyue taint analysis across traces to see how well patches did at fixing vulns, but with a fancy Bloom filter to see if a particular code path has been hit before (I look forward to reading this)

https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/bulekov this hypervisor emulation and fuzzing tool also looks really interesting and I’m looking forward to trying it out

https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/qi System-level emulation and instrumentation is generally slow, but there’s a neat insight into when instrumentation *isn’t* necessary and what basic blocks to not instrument for QEMU-based system-level concolic execution in this work!

https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/schl%C3%BCter the threat model (not the written out one in the paper, which is seemingly to me at least somewhat disjoint from what I understand from what I am hearing) that underlies this work is interesting; it points out that blindly trusting the hypervisor as part of trusting the cloud provider may not be in the best interest of operators of a VM (or a confidential VM using a TEE)

Tired of using your own tongue to test 9V batteries???

MSI motherboards susceptible to code execution & firmware implant - analysis of CVE-2024-36877 https://jjensn.com/at-home-in-your-firmware

@cinimodev @stevelord We have exactly this discussion internally rn about one of our users.

The most likely issues seem to be:
- Anti-virus software
- Note that this will mostly show up as I/O load, but ppl tend to misdiagnose the problem and keep buying RAM. Wrong diagnosis of other perf sinks/bottlenecks also likely result in RAM expansion (and placebo effect).
- Quantitly and quality of browser tabs and extensions, e.g. Slack is known to consume insane resources
- Other Windows bloatware

@north run? more seriously: learn how things *work*, don't just use tools. have a home lab, run services, write code.

Enjoy the old sch00l lulz:

Nice to see this "I can't use 20% of all websites" level bug getting fixed after *checks notes* 6 years in Chromium:

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41314367

Microsoft fixed CVE-2024-38213 last Tuesday. It was discovered in the wild by ZDI threat hunter @gothburz. Today, he makes the details of the vulnerability and how it's being used by threat actors. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2024/8/14/cve-2024-38213-copy2pwn-exploit-evades-windows-web-protections
