Nariman Gharib, an #Iran cyber-espionage expert (on exile):
Obtained #Starlink terminal debug data from Iran during the ongoing internet shutdown.
The telemetry shows direct evidence of GPS spoofing: the dish detected 18 #GPS satellites with valid signal lock, but activated its anti-spoofing countermeasures (inhibitGps: true). This isn’t simple jamming; the government appears to be broadcasting fake GPS signals to confuse terminals.
The impact: 20%+ sustained packet loss, connection never stabilized after 24 minutes, bandwidth restricted, and beam pointing ~1° off target. Starlink stayed online but was barely usable.
The anti-spoofing detection works, but SpaceX’s fallback positioning can’t currently maintain normal performance under electronic warfare.
First documented technical evidence of state-level GPS spoofing against consumer satellite internet.

As a professional source code reviewer, I gotta agree with “We cannot overstate the extent to which just reading the OpenSSL source code has become miserable.” The answer to “how does OpenSSL—” is always “I don’t know and I don’t have six months to find out.” This is not true of alternative libraries with the same functionality.

When IMS Associates, Inc., couldn't get their hands on an Altair 8800, they decided to make their own! How's that possible? Key technology like the S-100 bus were easy to replicate, leading to a slew of clones, like the IMSAI 8080.

We are at *twenty* hackerone submissions for #curl so far this year. Zero of them a confirmed vulnerability.

I’ve been informed this is an official account and that makes it good news!
Hello #FediHire, I am a laid off malware analyst still looking for work. It's hard out there. I can program in various languages (primarily C++, Python and Rust) and can study non-malware code with just as much ease as complex malware. Enterprise application ready!

Any biters? Please let me know!
Just saw this on a post on LinkedIn
It is a URL shortener that makes your links as suspicious as possible. Simply amazing
For example:
got turned into:
