Absolutely wild how many companies are adopting AI notetaking apps for meetings.

Y'all'er just chill sending your planning, product direction and revenue details to some random third party in exchange for them doing the low value task of halfassing note taking for you?

Claims of Chinese researchers breaking "military grade encryption" with a quantum computer are totally overblown. They attacked a trivial 22 bit key and used a quantum annealing architecture. Still not cryptographically relevant and not a quantum computer. Still not breaking RSA!

Great news everyone! I saw code so terrible yesterday that I quit my job on the spot, for realsies. Enjoy what should be the last post about me gazing directly into corporate-hell:

Future posts will be about the dystopian hellscape that I conjure into being at my own business.

I love this!

"One day, Linus accidentally attempted to use his hard drive to dial the university, resulting in his master boot sector starting with "ATDT" and the university modem-pool phone number. After recovering from this, he implemented file permissions in his kernel."

watchTowr: Fortinet FortiGate CVE-2024-23113 - A Super Complex Vulnerability In A Super Secure Appliance In 2024
Reference: CVE-2024-23113 (9.8 critical, disclosed 08 February 2024 by Fortinet, added to CISA KEV Catalog 09 October 2024) Fortinet Multiple Products Format String Vulnerability

I personally love the snark that watchTowr brings to the infosec community. If you didn't already grasp it from all the memes, you'll understand once you start reading this blog post. watchTowr covers locating the vulnerability CVE-2024-23113 and finding the root cause. I know the term rabbit hole is used often, but in this case, each vulnerable/patched version of their firmware provides different behavior to exploitation attempts and these are explained. No one's safe from watchTowr: they even include a dis for Check Point:

I mean, it's one up from Checkpoint's 'buy another Checkpoint device to put infront of your vulnerable Checkpoint device'

The @internetarchive’s Wayback Machine resumed in a provisional, read-only manner.

Sorry, no Save Page Now yet.

Safe to resume but might need further maintenance, in which case it will be suspended again.

Please be gentle https://web.archive.org

More as it happens.
