@d_olex Good question, but I'd argue that bytecode solves existing problems, while in case of LLM/blockchain I mostly don't see that. Also, isn't JIT specifically a thing to improve performance, meaning less resource consumption? A related observation is that many use-cases for LLMs can probably be solved much cheaper, today. E.g.: better IDE features; more QA for web search results; better education so people can write and understand an email.

EBury SSHD backdoor?? on 400,000 hosts?

Let's fuck around and find out. (Why +s on the .so file???)

Dissect, understand & ridicule. Join the group effort at https://thc.org/ops or SSH straight into the server and check ~/ebury:

ssh -o "SetEnv SECRET=lYQkdQHIuQyTJngVtIskqRLx" root@adm.segfault.net (password is 'segfault')

🚀 radare2-6.0.6 is out! (codename 'siesso’)

That's the first release after #r2con which comes with tons of awemazing bug fixes and all the new features presented during the conference! #reverseengineering

🔗 https://github.com/radareorg/radare2/releases/tag/6.0.6

See details below 👇

@kagihq "I don’t think I need to list the large number of tasks where LLMs can save humans time" - I naively thought this would be the whole point of the post? It'd be also important to back up that "large number of tasks" with data (e.g. time to result with/without LLM).

BINGO TIME! With CVE-2025-58034, Fortinet secures the crown in my Insecurity Appliance Bingo. This is technically a "high" severity vuln, but since it's being actively exploited and has landed a spot on CISA KEV, I'm admitting it.

https://cku.gt/appbingo25

Reaching a bingo took longer than expected, with FortiNet and Ivanti sitting at 5/6 vulns since about July. But now, there is a well-deserved winner.

I'm now taking new vuln class and vendor suggestions for next year's edition.

@tmr232 So you didn't see the highlight either? Took me a while to realize that it's the _text color_ that changes, and once I knew that I started seeing it! But since I expected the background to change I basically went color blind!

every time I take a selfie I admire influencers a bit more - this shit ain't easy!

Thanks @pancake for the swag!

Happy Max Headroom Incursion Day to all who celebrate!

@ajroach42 @loriemerson Came here to say the exact same thing!

OTD 1999: #SunMicrosystems announces the Sun Ray thin client. Great blog about its development: https://marcschneider.weebly.com/sun-ray.html

This will probably get spread around as misinformation, because people read the titles, not the articles. So let's start with the obvious:

#Signal is secure.

Now what everyone didn't read:

> The FBI said the information came from a “sensitive source with excellent access” and introduced the report as a warning about “extremist actors targeting law enforcement officers and federal facilities”.

In other words, the FBI had an informant on the inside. AKA, "a spy".
