@lcamtuf "scale of J.K. Rowling to Stormfront" is there an SI equivalent of this?

Feel old yet? The winrar registration nag screen is Electron these days.

EDIT: Whoops, it seems I'm wrong: This is just an embedded webview, which on Win10 is apparently chromium-backed (probably because it's Edge)

#Polish researchers have discovered components of a German #Enigma cipher machine, crucial to the Nazi wartime communications system, on Sobieszewska island near the city of Gdańsk. All in all, 8 rotors and various other parts were recovered. https://tvpworld.com/84053156/fragments-of-rare-german-enigma-machine-unearthed-in-poland

Teammate generated a song with LLM about a local charlatan, and I have to bow before the genius of the Machine:

"[Person] will be the wall
that guides us through the night!"

@malwarejake (Not so) funny story: banks around here test critical systems on prod because testing on test would risk being non-compliant if the regulator doesn't find the test system "similar enough" (whatever that means) to prod. Regulation also mandates that users on prod must be "real" because anti-laundering and whatever. In the end you either test with a real account on prod or you don't work for that client anymore.

As a company owner, I took one for the team and set up a personal bank account for testing. Surely enough, it resulted in me getting fucked *at another bank* (costing me considerable money).

#IBMi is vulnerable to an authenticated user gaining elevated privilege to a physical file [CVE-2024-47104]

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7179158

Emphasis mine:

"A user with authority to a *view* can alter the based-on *physical file* security attributes without having object management rights to the physical file."

I wonder what other discrepancies there may be between Db2 and other interfaces.

One of the fun parts of doing my security audits is coming across unexpected code that looks exploitable, and trying it out myself to see what possibilities exist.

In a recent audit, I found myself asking... What if you hashed null?

That's not how you're supposed to put the ../ in the pentest report!

DevOps practices are all well and good, but beware of the configuration of the tools that access your production.

@wirepair I'm more terrified by the thoughts of this particular human...

@cR0w And this is a foot soldier, not the head of sales!

"I've learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability."

And this comes from someone who's been writing #documentation professionally at #Microsoft! I'm at loss for words...

Do you think it is reasonable to have UX/frontend specialists make decisions about the documentation of systems like WSL?

Serious question.
