It’s been twelve years since I cleverly combined #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth with #BreastCancer awareness month by being diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer. After a year of scorched-earth treatment, I went into remission, where I’ve been ever since.

Breast-having mammals reading this, please check yourself regularly; it’s how I found mine. Be careful out there.

Can someone get this thing to work? Is there any other option to spot gaps in padded fields on structs in C programs? https://github.com/arvidn/struct_layout

Somehow I didn't feel the same sense of pride with LinkedIn :)

The Reverse Engineering community has spoken. #Diaphora will be ported to #Ghidra in the next months. I would love to have it working properly by the end of the year, but I cannot be sure. So, no ETA for now.

Einstein's revolutionary paper describing the equivalence of matter and energy, "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend upon its Energy-Content?", arrived at the editorial offices of the journal "Annalen der Physik" #onthisday in 1905 [1,2].

Interestingly, in Einstein’s first derivation of his famous result he did not express it with the equation E = mc². Instead, Einstein concluded that if an object, which is at rest relative to an inertial frame, either absorbs or emits an amount of energy L, its inertial mass will correspondingly either increase or decrease by the amount L/c² [3].

Why was Einstein's result so mind-blowing? Well, AFAICU in Newtonian physics inertial mass is construed as an intrinsic property of an object; it measures the extent to which an object resists changes to its state of motion. OTOH, Einstein showed that the inertial mass of an object changes if the object absorbs or emits energy. This was indeed a revolutionary idea.

Wow, Specter bypassed XOM and broke the PS5 hypervisor. Awesome work.

I remember hackers breaking in to CALEA lawful intercept boxes to spy on each other over 20+ years ago..

IIRC They were default SunOS servers connected direct to internet, no patches or updates applied over the years. Once you mapped them you could wait for a known vulnerability and visit them again.

It’s always been terrible, and always been known. I want it to be taken seriously.

Edit: It may be closer to 30 years than 20, but “a long time ago”

Internet Archive hacked, data breach impacts 31 million users

As an IA user and donor I'm kind of glad this happened: passwords are properly hashed (bcrypt), there is a chance to improve security.

But anyone who decided they should hack IA of all things can (as we say around here) go and shit out a hedgehog.

If people loosing access to their books when the vendor goes out of business was already bad, now the same thing is happening to cars: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/10/connected-car-failure-puts-kibosh-on-sale-of-3300-fisker-oceans/

I know, it is happening all over the place, merely with pieces of technology not quite as expensive. Maybe, just maybe, having basic functionality depend on external components isn’t such a great idea?

And since I don’t see “the market” ever discovering this, maybe some regulation is in order? Just so the next tech startup going out of business (or merely unwilling to support “outdated” hardware) isn’t an occasion to throw away tons of products in perfect working order.
