Babe wake up, new Windows privesc just dropped. #GreenPlasma. Oh and also Bitlocker bypass #YellowKey https://github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse/GreenPlasma

Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 is rejecting working RCEs because organizers ran out of contest slots.

Visit a website in Firefox and get code execution? Rejected.

Strange days indeed.

He says to blame the delay on jet lag, but @dustin_childs has his full review of the #Adobe and #Microsoft patches. Nothing under active attack, but a total of 190 CVEs to look at (plus 120+ from Chrome recently!) read the details at https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2026/5/12/the-may-2026-security-update-review

Had some fun finding and exploiting state machine logic bug in af_alg_sendmsg last year, it leads to OOB access, arbitrary write then container escape that unnoticed since 2011

LLMs are just the ultimate IP-violation-machines. I love using them for reverse engineering. I picked up so many projects I abandoned in the past because staring at obfuscated code or assembly got boring and tiresome and felt like an endless endeavor that will never be realistically reverse engineered completely anway.

Now I give Opus or whatever other model enough context, datasheets and tests and it starts reversing. Does it hallucinate and is not always correct? Yeah. But who cares? I am not always correct and misunderstand things when manually reversing stuff as well. We all do.

Gradually building more and more context to be able to reason a bit easier about things you didn't understand yet is exactly what an LLM can incrementally help you with. And gathering more and more information helps both me and the LLM to understand the stuff we are looking at a bit better.

It's so awesome.

#eurocrypt just happened, which reminds me of the eurocrypt 35 years ago held in budapest, which an #NSA cryptologist was attending and giving a scorching #report in the internal cryptolog newsletter of the nsa: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2059

would be interesting to see the latest cryptolog report on this latest edition...

Oh look, it's Patch Tuesday. Again.

"This is an elegant use of Rust's trait system to separate construction from operation, with compile-time guarantees that the right capabilities are available when needed." - LLM

Except both me and my IDE are in the dark about what kind of object Foo::new(obj) *really* expects until I get the compile error?

(Foo::new() only prescribes EasyTrait, but Foo::bar() requires TrickyTrait)
