I just published my writeups for all challenges of #flareon11:

Hope you like them as much as I liked writing them!

Astronomers have just discovered the first known "Einstein zigzag."

Due to a rare, lucky cosmic alignment, the combined gravity of two galaxies bent light like spaghetti & split a distant quasar into six different images.

This six-part image could allow a very accurate measure of the expansion of the universe.

To say something positive about LLM's the English auto subtitles on this documentary about #Hungarian #punks are *really* good:

@devcoffee @cR0w thinking about it a "parrot on acid" may be smoother

@hyperboreal

I got that record!

OK so I'm going through YT videos about terminal emulators, seek randomly in one and guy talks about **privacy settings** then later the video has a section called **AI features** :O

Yeah I totally want a parrot on LSD finish my rm command!

@tomzorz OK so the closest to what I'm looking for is this, where the author dumps buttloads of data to the screen to measure speed - something I've been told as a reason for acceleration before:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8kgOplAKQ (I tried to ignore the discussion...)

IMO dumping this amount of data to your terminal is usually the result of a mistake because you just can't read through the data anyway. This suggests GPU acceleration is a micro-optimization.

@tomzorz Thank you, that is surprising but makes sense! I still wonder how noticable the speed of CPU rendering is given the ridiculous speed of our CPU's compared to our eyes? Is there a demo of this somewhere?

Another serious question: why do terminal emulators need hardware acceleration? #ELI5

Device vendor placed deliberate backdoor in device, and doesn't provide updates anymore. Assuming no hacky stuff, if you want a not backdoored device you throw the one you bought in trash and buy a new one.

Can you sue in EU in 2024?

@screaminggoat @jullrich I just tested this, seems immortal (no fw upgrades since 2012, latest affected) in WR841N.

SANS ISC: Ancient TP-Link Backdoor Discovered by Attackers
@jullrich did you want to report this vulnerability to MITRE (or be credited)? Using CWE-912: Hidden Functionality and sekurak's entry as vulnerability details, this should be a quick CVE submission.

#tplink #backdoor #vulnerability #cve

It’s finally landed! You can now watch “Listen to the whispers: web timing attacks that actually work” on YouTube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zOPjz-sPyQM

Could someone from @Rapid7Official shut this spammer up?
