Once again forced to witness the deepest horrors of our reality

The failure of the Internet to deliver its promise is particularly noticeable when you hunt for repair manuals for a product from the 90s. Used to be, the information would either be there or not there, finable or unfindable.

Now, there are hundreds of algorithmically generated sites claiming to have it just because it appeared in their search logs, generating potemkin village content traps with endless paging, broken-thumbnail named-like-the-file-you-want but actually-just-ebay-photos bullshit

🚧 Brute-Forcing One-Time Passwords 🚧

My last two threads discussed the probability of brute-forcing OTPs, how to do it effectively and how to defend against attacks.

Here is an overview of the topics covered:

1. Bernoulli Processes 🧮

2. Increasing and Decreasing Probabilities 🤞

Ransomware, but they install an unlicensed copy of Oracle somewhere in your organization and threaten to tell Oracle about it if you don’t pay up.

AI is a lot like fossil fuel industry. Seizing and burning something (in this case, the internet, and more broadly, written-down human knowledge) that was built up over a long time much faster than it could ever be replenished.

It is confirmed that Reddit is forcing subreddits to open again. This is according to /r/antiwork moderators.

"Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things," Huffman said. "We are not in the business of giving that away for free."

You and me, we're just data sets. Years of interaction with fellow human beings, building community, sharing insight and creativity…it’s all just data. Data to be mined and monetized.

Huffman's not mad Reddit was scraped for a chatbot. He's mad he wasn't paid for the privilege. It's his data, you see. His. Not yours.

Search engines are useless. Windows is packaging Internet features few asked for. The major public sites are sealed tight to avoid third party tools.

Web 1.0 is back, baby!

No random open source application, I do not want to join your Discord channel for support.

There's this really cool technology called hypertext markup language, and if you use it for your documentation another piece of amazing technology called a search engine can help me find the answer I'm looking for

And the real magic is you only have to answer it once and the answer helps anyone. You don't have to answer the same question every day. This frees you up for more fun development

Well, I inadvertently discovered a zero-day RCE in acme.sh and got a Chinese CA to shut down overnight: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues/4659

hey could the criminals who somehow converted an application logic bug in a spam filter to “you have to throw the hardware in a shredder to be sure” please publish their own blog post about this https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/06/08/etr-cve-2023-2868-total-compromise-of-physical-barracuda-esg-appliances/

From a live tweet of the proceedings around the lawyer caught using ChatGPT:

"I thought ChatGPT was a search engine".

It is NOT a search engine. Nor, by the way are the version of it included in Bing or Google's Bard.

Language model-driven chatbots are not suitable for information access.

At-Bay’s Cyber Research Team has confirmed that AvosLocker is using several vulnerabilities in Veritas's Backup Exec, a popular data backup and recovery software, as a means to launch ransomware attacks.

It marks the second RaaS syndicate to use the vulns to launch ransomware attacks, as ALPHV/BlackCat also has been observed using the flaw as an initial access point

So I caught the recruiting tram again and made more photos for all you dorks 😄

(This is a tram that runs in Budapest that has clear paneling so you can see the inner workings. They use it to recruit engineers and mechanics for public transport.)
