1 #million views! Today is a momentous day for the #WHY2025 #MCH2022 #SHA2017 Youtube account.

The video of a talk called "Non-Euclidean Doom: what happens to a game when pi is not 3.14159…" reached 1 million views on Youtube a few minutes ago.

The video is of course also on media.ccc.de and has reached almost a hundred thousand views there.

The recommended way to watch the video is https://media.ccc.de/v/mch2022-236-non-euclidean-doom-what-happens-to-a-game-when-pi-is-not-3-14159-, but if you want proof of the milestone, check out https://youtu.be/_ZSFRWJCUY4

[RSS] Rebuilding The First Digital Personal Computer

Wired was manipulated into spreading misinformation to market Palantir and iVerify by misrepresenting a vulnerability in a disabled demo app as being a serious problem which could be exploited in the real world. They should retract the article but won't.

GrapheneOS has gone through each of the carrier apps included on Pixel generation to determine their purpose and consequences of including or excluding them. Here it is being excluded from the new adevtool project for ProtonAOSP and GrapheneOS in 2021:

https://github.com/GrapheneOS/adevtool/commit/9c5ac945f#diff-95eb7b50f2781158146e721436d7c5d6f7421755906307a6b7a1f727bb20d53eR109

GrapheneOS has publicly posted about the carrier apps included on Pixels and their privileged permissions on numerous occasions. We talked about the ones which get enabled automatically based on using a SIM from a carrier rather than a disabled demo without an automatic trigger.

[Dailydave] "You have to assume that, having learned from the Russian attacks against their electrical infrastructure, the Ukrainian Army is traveling not just with a screen of FPV drones but with a few USB keys containing implants for the specialized equipment that runs a gas network.

It's hard to disconnect OT networks that are presumed to be segmented physically, and temporary physical control can easily translate to permanent cyber control."

For #CircuitPythonDay2024 I'm porting Micropython to the SensorWatch SAML22J18 that fits in the classic Casio FT-91W. https://www.sensorwatch.net/

It's the Freya's day today so let's run another #nakeddiefriday why don't we.

Today I got a #French classic form 1983, one of the very first chip cards. The micromodule is a very characteristic shape of those designed by Bull.

On the die itself, the EEPROM array is in the very center, with the address counter to the right, drivers above and the data multiplexer below.

Note the designer initials, C.B. and Y.G.

Zabbix Server Critical Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability (CERT-EU Security Advisory 2024-082)

On August 13, 2024, a critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-22116, was disclosed in Zabbix Server, allowing attackers with restricted administrative permissions to execute arbitrary code. The flaw, identified in the Ping script execution within the Monitoring Hosts section, can compromise the entire infrastructure. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.9.

https://www.cert.europa.eu/publications/security-advisories/2024-082/

Has anyone else looked at CVE-2024-38063? I could use a sanity check here. From what I can see, the vulnerable code path can only be triggered with IPv6 Jumbograms (packets larger than 65535 bytes). Not only would the target system need to have Jumbograms enabled, but every link in the path between the attacker and target would have to both support Jumbograms and have them enabled. I can't imagine any real world scenario in which this would occur, so unless I'm missing something, this vulnerability could only be exploited on very few real world systems.

@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!
