Somebody wrote about Bring Your Own RWX Region DLL (BYORWXDLL).

Which, being a post-exploitation technique, is already something not terribly interesting to me personally, being a vulnerability analyst and all.

Stage 1: Realize that the provided script doesn't run, as it has a non-UTF-8 character in it (a 0x97 em dash). Since keyboards don't have an em dash key, this is a clear indicator that the script is AI slop. Also, who publishes something without even first attempting to run the very thing you have provided? 🤔

Stage 2: Realize that Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility, which comes with Intel graphics drivers by default comes with multiple libraries that have YOLO RWX memory sections.

Personally, BYORWXDLL isn't that terribly interesting to me. If somebody is injecting an arbitrary DLL on your system, they already own your system. However, I will admit that knowing which things on your system by design provide RWX memory sections is probably a good way to flush out the software that you don't want to have on your system.

If you run a mastodon instance, it's time to patch! some security fixes in this release.

So let me get this straight... rsync made a *security release* fixing a bunch of CVEs, it regressed some stuff, people looked at the commit log, saw Claude sign-offs, and started a mob on the sole maintainer?

Yeah, this stuff is what gives legitimate AI criticism a bad name.

I don't like it, you may not like it either, but when people are throwing LLMs at legacy codebases and finding CVEs by the dozen, and a sole maintainer is trying to keep the house from falling apart... if you're attacking them, you're firing at the wrong person.

You know what's a bigger cancer on this world than AI? People incapable of seeing any nuance in situations. And this applies to absolutely everything. I'm absolutely exhausted of extremist takes. From every single side and point of view, in every single debate, AI related and not.

You all seriously need to touch grass, and learn to stop being outraged all the time over every single thing in this world.

It's been a while since I did a vulnerability research article. How about a little DoS zero-day as a treat?

The presentation will also finally answer the question whether I am a one trick pony. 🫣🤫
