I really hope I'm missing something, but I can't find a VSCode API that allows me, in an extension, to get an event when a breakpoint is hit.
Seems like a massive blocker for developing debugging tools.

Hearing about a young hacker whose being extorted by the University of Washington, not cool UW.

The student claims they built an app to help kids get the course schedules they want, a hack as old as time, and the university decided to expel him until he ports his app to the university's internal systems.

This would be unpaid labor.

Until then his class registration is on hold and he can't register or attend his last few classes. 🥴

Why You Probably Don't Need A VPN To Stay Secure On Public Wi-Fi

You've probably heard advice about how hackers can steal all your sensitive information if you don't use a VPN on public Wi-Fi, but is that actually true? In this video I'll walk through some of the major risks of public Wi-Fi such as Man-In-The-Middle Attacks, Rogue Access Points, SSL Stripping, and TLS Downgrades, as well as discuss how modern security measures prevent them.

Hi all. Given the recent announcement from Meta about AI personas and allowed behavior, I am moving threads.net back to a limit, and will likely move them to a block in the future on infosec.exchange. I can’t ignore the reality that the changes they’re making are specifically intended to permit attacks on many of the people that call this place home. I won’t rule out that they walk the changes back, which is why I’m not jumping to sever the nearly 4000 mutual follow relationships between people on threads and here.

There are rumor swirling that there might be some upcoming Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) CVEs being released soon.

I feel bad for anybody needing to decipher what Ivanti product versions are vulnerable to what CVE.

The Ivanti advisories use confusing language that is unclear if it's referring to which versions are fixed, and which are affected. The CVE entries don't mention which versions contain the fix. And the release notes...
Can somebody smarter than myself decipher what order the security patches are listed in? It's not by order of CVE ID, and it's not by order of ICS version. Which leaves... ?

If we are indeed about to have an Ivanti fire drill, good luck folks.
