I love reverse-engineering because it allows me to dismantle structures of control.

First attempt at building macOS 26.0 XNU as a LIBRARY?! 👩‍🔬

New Blog Post: Seth Jenkins broke kASLR by doing … nothing 😩

Here's an example of Google's AI reporting security vulnerabilities in this codec:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/440183164

We take security very seriously but at the same time is it really fair that trillion dollar corporations run AI to find security issues on people's hobby code? Then expect volunteers to fix.

Arguably the most brilliant engineer in FFmpeg left because of this. He reverse engineered dozens of codecs by hand as a volunteer.

Then security "researchers" and corporate employees came along repeatedly insisted "critical" security issues were fixed immediately waving their CVEs.

This was hugely demotivating to the fun and enjoyment of reverse engineering.

An out-of-band (OOB) security update that patches an actively exploited Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) vulnerability has broken hotpatching on some Windows Server 2025 devices.

This week on #OpenSourceSecurity I talk to @ottok about his blog post about detecting an attack like xz in Debian

It's a fascinating conversation about a very complicated topic

There are things that could be detected, but this one would have been very very difficult

Firefox nightly introduces the setHTML() method. Which is like a native DOMPurify. You can easily test it here:

Set HTMLSanitizer ✅
Auto update ✅

I'm trying to break it, I encourage you to break it too

This year Binarly has also expanded their sponsorship to the creation of a new Firmware Security Learning Path! https://ost2.fyi/OST2_LP_FWSEC.pdf

This captures current and future plans for classes involving security in the deep-dark of firmware! But Binarly is starting to give visibility into what's going on there with their binary analysis platform.

It is decided, the final round of #BSidesVienna tickets will be in 7 days from now on Sunday 09.11.2025 at 7 pm. That is 19:00 o'clock Vienna time UTC+1!

A great quote from the book Autocracy Inc from Ann Applebaum, a recommended read. A good description of the atmosphere the Trump administration tries to create.
