I finally figured out why I can't bypass the V8 Sandbox on the Amazon Echo Show 5's Wi-Fi captive portal browser.

... it's 32-bit; there is no V8 Sandbox

When digital materials are vulnerable to sudden removal, our collective memory is compromised, and the public’s ability to access its own history is at risk. This year, we released the Vanishing Culture report, a study that details instances of cultural loss and emphasizes the crucial role that libraries and archives play in preserving materials for future generations.

“The Chaos Computer Club supports the three hackers who explained in detail at 37C3 how the Polish rail vehicle manufacturer Newag had manipulated its trains in such a way that they could only be repaired in the company's own workshops. The manufacturer reacted to the publications with an attitude not seen since the 90s and sued the hackers under both criminal and civil law.

The CCC is calling for donations to cover the legal and other resulting costs incurred so far.”

Best 38C3 preso I have seen so far (kinda week so far this year!) -> https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/from-silicon-to-sovereignty-how-advanced-chips-are-redefining-global-dominance/

Amazing tech to build modern chips!!!! :O
Fucking bonkers...

(In here, the report is a rewrite of our previous published CVE in a way that I strongly suspect was done by an AI.)

Merry fucking Christmas from Palo Alto Networks (Zero-Day): CVE-2024-3393 PAN-OS: Firewall Denial of Service (DoS) in DNS Security Using a Specially Crafted Packet
CVE-2024-3393 (CVSSv4: 8.7 high) A Denial of Service vulnerability in the DNS Security feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a malicious packet through the data plane of the firewall that reboots the firewall. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode.

Palo Alto Networks is aware of customers experiencing this denial of service (DoS) when their firewall blocks malicious DNS packets that trigger this issue.

Is there a reason why #Rust is so minimalist with keywords? For example the `if let` syntax is completely unreadable to me.

Also, things like `&_` make googling for errors practically impossible.

In case if anyone is looking for them, #38c3 streams are here:

In 50 minutes I’ll present some awesome hardware hacking on Apple’s new USB-C controller at #38c3 - would love to see you there!

Remark concerning #Azerbaijan #Airlines #Flight #8243:

We would do well to remember the names of the pilots who died.

They fought for over an hour with a mortally wounded plane to get it as good as possible to the ground.

They had now yaw, no rudder, no ailerons, no flaps, only the power level of the engine as means of control.

Air Traffic Control denied them the use of the closest airports and sent them to cross a sea.

What they have shown is courage in the face of insurmountable odds. They knew exactly what their chances were. Their airmanship was on the highest possible level.

Their names are Igor Kshnyakin and Aleksandr Kalyaninov.

To the media: please don’t give any airtime to the obviously disinformation spreading speaker of the Kremlin and report about those who saved 29 lives.

TIL that with a linker script, you can have emojis as ELF section names.

I need an opportunity to use this knowledge.

Picard management tip: Take your leisure time seriously. A relaxed captain is a sane captain.

Here's a no-cost, non-denominational, last-minute gift idea.

Reach out to people who made a positive difference in your life but with whom you have not been in touch for a while. Tell them that they were a force for good in your life. Thank them.

Be generous -- pass on this idea. Spread some joy.

Hahahaha whaaaaaaat

One the twelfth day of Christmas, the true goat gave to thee: https://infosec.press/screaminggoat/patch-tuesday , which is a list of vendors' security advisory landing pages and their #PatchTuesday schedule.

Disclaimer: Not every vendor is listed, and their patching cycle may be different than what I categorized them as, but it's a good starting point. Ideally, you'd be tracking the ones you care about using RSS anyway.

Merry Christmas Infosec Mastodon
