Now this looks like a pretty kick ass project: FUZZUER: Enabling Fuzzing of
UEFI Interfaces on EDK-2 https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/2025-400-paper.pdf and source at https://github.com/BreakingBoot/FuzzUEr

Finally a paper on malware fuzzing! PFUZZER: Practical, Sound, and Effective Multi-path Analysis of
Environment-sensitive Malware with Coverage-guided Fuzzing https://www.diag.uniroma1.it/~delia/papers/eurosp25-pfuzzer.pdf

To join the recent series of great Windows Defender content (defendnot, EvilentCoerce) I published a status report on mpclient development:

I think it’s really funny that in windows the standard libraries serve to abstract away incompatibilities between the kernel of different windows releases while this funny thing:

• GLibc

in the lunix world does the exact opposite

A practical NTLM relay attack using the MS-EVEN RPC protocol and antivirus-assisted coercion https://github.com/Thunter-HackTeam/EvilentCoerce

FYI if you’re willing to link with ntdll or dynamically resolve it there’s a ton of APIs that return TEB/PEB or leave them in one of the registers.
(Don’t believe official return values. MSDN is a liar!)

CVE-2025-24203

It makes me super uncomfortable that globbing in Bash can turn into code execution. The fact that the name of a file can change the behavior of ls is scary. This also works for other commands that you tend to glob with, such as rm.

While we wait, here's a quick look at the web traffic currently hitting Wikimedia projects — can you perhaps guess when the reports of white smoke from the Vatican first started?

Tariffs just got real: our first $36K bill with 125% + 20% + 25% markup hits hard 💸. These are upfront costs - due before selling a single unit - causing serious cash flow strain, price increases, read more! 📦 http://adafruit.com/tariffbill

Wikipedia @wikimediauk are going to court over the UK Online Safety Act!

Saddling platforms with hefty duties and penalties under the new regime will cause many safe sites to fold.

We can't lose the best of the web due to laws that were meant to tackle the worst of it.

This post by @algernon is a surprising confirmation of one of my theories about why many of "us" aren't really impressed by #LLM's:

https://chronicles.mad-scientist.club/tales/conversations-with-an-artificial-intelligence/

Thing is, we've seen this before, played with it, found its limits and got bored. Of course LLM's provide much better results, but I still don't think the underlying principle is that much different.

Same with shitcoins: we designed a proof-of-work system as teenagers for password cracking, so the principle is not magical to us and this goes against the marketing.
