My talk about integrating #ReverseEngineering tools is to be broadcasted in a couple of hours for #r2con2025:

https://rada.re/con/2025/

I'll release a ton of code and will be around on Discord for questions and comments.

So I just fought the weirdest bug in a while: lately #Ghidra provides a #Python scripting interface based on #Jpype (PyGhidra).

I had this script where I thought I fixed a bug by referencing X.y.z instead of X.z. Except nothing changed, the buggy behavior is still there (the file output contains garbage).

I add logging, the logs appear and show everything is fine.

Add more logs, exceptions even (to stop at a specific state). They run and show all is fine.

After I restart Ghidra the bug is gone.

To be clear: there must be some kind of bytecode caching that affects my object reference but does not affect additional logging/exception throwing??

Any ideas?

This is maybe the biggest FINALLY in my career as a purveyor of Oddly Specific Objects: The Open Book is in prelaunch at Crowd Supply! But it's not the same old Open Book; we're launching the all-new, completely reimagined Open Book Touch with WiFi and Bluetooth support, a higher-resolution display, capacitive touchscreen, and frontlight with adjustable color temperature.

My #ThinkPad started to give a humming sound when I touch it at a certain place. Any ideas?

NEW: The U.S. govt accused Peter Williams, ex general manager of hacking tool maker L3Harris Trenchant, of stealing trade secrets and selling them to buyer in Russia.

As we reported earlier this week, Trenchant was investigating a leak of internal tools this year. At this point, it's unclear if that investigation is related to the accusations against Williams.

Today is the annual memorial day of the 1956 Hungarian revolution.

Today I learned that Victor Ambrus (Ambrus Győző), the artist who worked on Time Team, was one of the freedom fighters in Budapest in '56. He was a 3rd year art student at the time. He had to flee the country after the Soviets crushed the revolution.

If anyone has a mac capable of running OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas "browser", and is willing to conduct a short experiment aimed at figuring out how to identify & block that thing, please let me know!

Update: I have some preliminary results, thanks! I'll conduct more research if/when there's version of Atlas I can run (likely in a Windows VM).

Wait… so users of OpenAI’s Atlas browser can opt-in the web pages they browse - *which belong to other people* - to AI training?

Cool cool

The new, slightly less patient, Daniel strikes.

every AI generated pixel, every AI generated token I see makes me want to use the internet less. it makes me want to log off and spend the rest of my days reading books published before 2020. this must be how the paranoid creatives felt in the 2000s when cross-site tracking and the patriot act also pushed them offline. this must be how those creatives who refused to give up their own methods of distribution felt when things like facebook and twitter and youtube monopolized attention through the 2010s and turned the internet into a small collection of walled gardens. I don't know what kind of creative you'd call me, but I cannot abide by the internet being polluted by mushy, merely-probable junk data which is drowning out what had once been a place to find real testimony, real human effort and art whose maxim is to bridge the gap between us. sure there will always be oases, places where human creativity continues to thrive, but I'll forever miss when the entire land was covered in green.

this story is crazy not because someone in the exploit business got a taste of their own medicine, that part should be expected. the crazy thing is that trenchant, widely considered to be one of the “good discerning western exploit shops” was leaking chrome exploits to who knows where.
