@lcamtuf IIRC naming them was part of the exercise back in my day similarly to physics where you are usually given some "real world" scenario just to draw dots and arrows in the end as you "translated" the problem.

@lcamtuf maybe it was a mistake to use the greek alphabet

Today is the annual memorial day of the 1956 Hungarian revolution.

Today I learned that Victor Ambrus (Ambrus Győző), the artist who worked on Time Team, was one of the freedom fighters in Budapest in '56. He was a 3rd year art student at the time. He had to flee the country after the Soviets crushed the revolution.

F5 recently fixed a TCP hijacking vuln due to bad ISN generation. Now we have DNS cache poisoning in BIND due to predictable query IDs.

Yeah baby the 1990s are back!

Can we get Whitesnake and Aerosmith videos too?

Due to travel complications and delayed flights, the live stream scheduled for 3PM Irish time has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If anyone has a mac capable of running OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas "browser", and is willing to conduct a short experiment aimed at figuring out how to identify & block that thing, please let me know!

Update: I have some preliminary results, thanks! I'll conduct more research if/when there's version of Atlas I can run (likely in a Windows VM).

Check out our new blog post on a research-driven look at software-only DRM. Explore how the Qiling emulation framework can be used to analyze Widevine and how Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) and emulation aid de-obfuscation.

@miodvallat a linker is just a worse-documented compiler!

Cascading failures are fascinating :P

The vuln is so old it is not even easy to find the reference!
OpenBSD fixed it by adopting a non-predictable PRNG, BIND dev refused to use the same approach cuz "DNSSEC fixes this"
10 years later Dan Kaminsky rediscovered it with a better way to exploit the weakness. Vendors adopted OpenBSD's algorithm
Here's the original security advisory

What year is this?!
I think I am taking crazy pills!
FWIW: The first ever vulnerability I reported to a vendor was a DNS cache poisoning attack against BIND due its use of predictable query IDs.
I reported it.... in 1996!

The replies to your posts since the AWS outage have been an amazing source of 'Signal has a flaw and therefore we should ignore the dozens of fundamental design flaws in {other thing} and use it instead' posts.

The mindset of 'X is not perfect, therefore we should use Y, which is strictly worse in almost every way but lacks this one problem of X' never ceases to amaze me.

This follows the Silicon Valley model popularised by Facebook 20 years ago of opting people into consent for things op because they were in other people’s address books and those people consented to sharing personal information. It’s a shame it took regulators so long to stamp on that, it should have been the result of massive fines, possibly followed by fire.

Wait… so users of OpenAI’s Atlas browser can opt-in the web pages they browse - *which belong to other people* - to AI training?

Cool cool

If you know who did this, or if you know how to set it back, the hotel kindly asks you to do so, respecting the fun achievement unlocked :)

The new, slightly less patient, Daniel strikes.

every AI generated pixel, every AI generated token I see makes me want to use the internet less. it makes me want to log off and spend the rest of my days reading books published before 2020. this must be how the paranoid creatives felt in the 2000s when cross-site tracking and the patriot act also pushed them offline. this must be how those creatives who refused to give up their own methods of distribution felt when things like facebook and twitter and youtube monopolized attention through the 2010s and turned the internet into a small collection of walled gardens. I don't know what kind of creative you'd call me, but I cannot abide by the internet being polluted by mushy, merely-probable junk data which is drowning out what had once been a place to find real testimony, real human effort and art whose maxim is to bridge the gap between us. sure there will always be oases, places where human creativity continues to thrive, but I'll forever miss when the entire land was covered in green.

I'M GONNA EAT THOSE LOUVRE JEWELS.
