We are looking for an Android security expert to join our team and work on securing Chrome on Andoird. Job posting is available at https://google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/104891950447895238, but also feel free to reach out to me directly.

My team in Chrome Platform Security is hiring for a senior Android security expert - if you're into syscalls, binder, processes and other low level stuff you'd be perfect - I do this but for Windows and didn't know Chrome or much C++ when I started.

The ad is generic but feel free to ask questions - https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/104891950447895238 - you'll be a part of a wider security team that works on lots of cool stuff and protects billions of people - https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/quarterly-updates/

I feel like gargron in 2022, so many new users with an underfunded budget 😅

I'm in talks with a few people who can help with our growth, but we could really use some more donations to help lessen the burden on my out of pocket expenses.

Anyway, here we go. Latest version of the 2025 (in)security appliance bingo adds CVE-2024-55591 / FG-IR-24-535 to the list. Thanks to watchTowr for reporting it, and thanks to @wiert @nadaka and @cisacyber for alerting me to it. https://cku.gt/appbingo25

Forensic question as a windows-noob. I am trying to look into an OLE2 "Compound File Binary Format" file. It seems to contain multiple streams that I can enumerate with e.g., https://github.com/microsoft/compoundfilereader but the actual data are so-called "steams" containing raw hex bytes. What exactly is a *stream*? Doesn't look like a file? Are there deeper decodings I should pursue? Is there a list of known serializations for e.g., arrays? I think the database contains sensor data.
