“What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.”

@Framasoft it'd be so great if you'd set the default language of FramaForms Drupal to English...

@byteborg Well they do run serious networks and I'm not sure which competitor I could recommend on the FW side either. Packet inspection is hard I guess?

@byteborg Yeah, I was hesitating on that one, but just look at the recent (and not so recent...) ASA pwnage...

Me: Let's use this well established OSS project again after several years!
Project: We're in Dependency Hell since last month, builds don't work...

Why is it always like this with me?? #fml

Call for Failures @ hack.lu 2025 — Because We All Break Things

At hack.lu, we love stories of brilliance — new tools, cutting-edge exploits, and clever defenses.
But let’s be honest: the best lessons often come from things that went spectacularly wrong.

That’s why we’re bringing back the Call for Failures (CFF) — a mini-conference inside hack.lu dedicated entirely to sharing the things that didn’t go as planned.

🗓️ When: Wednesday, 22 October 2025
🕖 Time: 19:00 – 21:00
📍 Where: At hack.lu, Luxembourg

TIL if you want to change the config of the logging module in PyGhidra you have to reastart #Ghidra for the new config to take effect...

Bonus: There is a predefined `writer` stream object that you can use to log to the GUI console.

@cryptax or Wool.WashAt.40C because based on strings found in the packer

1 hour of sleep, 2 energy drinks in.
I blame UEFI Forum for this

@joxean @wirepair I'd need something permanently online so I can ise then as CI test cases

The official @Defcon recording of HTTP/1.1 Must Die has landed - join me on the mission to help kill HTTP/1.1! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUCyExOr3sE

@reynardsec What really annoys me is that some teams decide to publish a latest tag, yet they have no process for updating is, so the latest tag becomes anything but... It would be much more honest if they called it "favorite" or something that doesn't imply freshness when they don't even attempt to guarantee that.

I'm looking for publicly available reverse engineered program databases (idb, gpr, bndb, ... ), preferably for relatively small programs.

Any tips?

@algernon I ran some tests and you are right: LLMs are still far from reaching n-gate-level snark

@algernon Wait, could an LLM faithfully imitate n-gate?

@algernon Please, by all means! :D

@algernon I miss n-gate's webshit weekly so much :,(

Serious bugs often occur in third-party components integrated by other software. Ivan Fratric and I found this vulnerability in the Dolby Unified Decoder. It affects Android, iOS and Windows among other platforms, sometimes 0-click.

Integrators should update today!

Hi there! This is #nakeddiefriday again!

Today I'd like to present you one of frequent sources of pain for C64 owners, the infamous PLA. This is MOS 7700R2. They failed way too often, and considering this is custom silicon, the only option was to get another one of the same.

Many thanks to @root42 for providing this sample!
