job listings in 2025 are weird.
I never would have guessed a car wash even needed an on-site kubernetes cluster

@albinowax Thanks for the link! I'm sure some business executives applied this methodology to selling shampoo with great success. I also believe Burp exists in a different kind of market in several aspects, but I'm no business executive...

Nerd-snipping of the day - a sharp programmer on a Chinese forum noticed an extremely obscure fact about K&R - its Courier font is unusual and doesn’t seem to match any of the modern or common versions of Courier we know today. So now I find myself hunting for technical references of that Autologic APS-5 machine used by K&R. #retrocomputing #unix

[RSS] NVIDIA/Mellanox ConnectX-5: Custom #Ghidra processor module for iRISC

If you do not include an appropriate fuse in your design, your design will designate one.

@albinowax 1) Burp is (rightfully) the de facto standard for webapp testing. Even if by some miracle someone interested in the field didn't hear about it, what else would anyone recommend?
2) What kind of information could a 0-10 numeric answer possibly give you about the desired direction of improvement?
3) You have e-mail support, a forum, and Discord (that I know of) where proper discussions can take place. Hell, even social media allows better interaction with your team than this Clippy-style "would you like to scream into this void?" non-sense.

What this simple dialog tells me is that someone, who doesn't know better than copying dark patterns from freemium mobile games got in a position to get this useless, disrupting junk *added to the code base*. And I'm sorry, but I won't hold back my words to express my concerns about this direction because 1) allows shoving more shit down our throats unless we push back hard.

I hope you didn't take this as a personal attack. I mentioned you because I'm sure you understand the needs and concerns of professional users better than anyone.

@bh @404mediaco because your cpu vendor is not relevant when you happen to run malware.

Thanks to OSTIF!, in 2024, we assessed cURL's HTTP/3 components. We found two issues, enhanced fuzzing coverage, and provided testing and security recommendations.

https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/2023-12-curl-http3-securityreview.pdf

cURL marked our 14th security assessment with OSTIF, with our first being in 2019. OSTIF's mission to secure critical open-source software has led to security improvements across projects on which we all depend.

@bh @404mediaco They could deploy the same code on a mainframe in Fort Knox, it would be the same bug (if my theory is correct). I dont have info abt usgov webapp deployment policy.

@bh @404mediaco yeah ik. It's a platform, the user provides implementation. You don't blame your cpu for executing malware.

@bh @404mediaco frankly I don't see why CF is relevant, this looks like an app-specific endpoint, but I may be missing some detail

Better late than never, I just published a blogpost about my experience at @blackhoodie training, hexacon 2024. Again, big thanks to the organizers for putting together this training, it was really good! 😊

Super scummy for microsoft to auto upgrade (at the added cost of an extra £30 a year) people to a AI plan, and not offer a "actually I don't use any of that stuff" can I not pay that £30 a year?

And then only when you are at the cancel page, it's like "🥺 oh sorry do you want the old deal back? 🥺"

For anyone else, you don't even have to get that far into the cancel page for this. So it's easy to save £30 a year with this.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Happy #nakeddiefriday folks!

Today's specimen is p/n SC13890P23A by Motorola/Freescale. This came from an embedded cellular modem I tore out of [redacted]. The die is marked ATLAS-UL.

It is the most colourful die I have ever imaged.

Really cool blog post about permissions in browsers and how they work. https://albertofdr.github.io/web-security-class/browser/browser.permissions

Better than watching live coding on Twitch I guess?
