What the…??? I mean, leaking a signing key to a private GitHub repository is clearly better than leaking it to a public one. But still, I remember a blog post from something like two decades ago about how Mozilla was using hardware tokens for signing, so that the signing keys could not possibly leak. That probably pre-dated their Linux package repositories, so either the concept wasn’t used consistently after that or at some point performance became more important than protecting key material (Mozilla’s infrastructure is producing lots of builds).
The fastest way to get VIP treatment when you land...seriously, how dumb do you have to be to try something like this? This person on Reddit stole my thoughts verbatim: "committing federal crimes from inside a sealed metal tube that lands exactly where the feds are waiting is certainly a strategy."

@emilymbender @alex I'm sure you'll love it!
Finally, to close out our short #GitHub tour, a few vintage repositories 🍷 that have aged into historical curiosities and are now (mostly) harmless. Still worth a look as a learning resource, for humans and AI alike 🤖
https://github.com/0xdea/exploits - a collection of my public exploits from CVE-1999-1587 onwards
https://github.com/0xdea/shellcode - a small collection of my shellcode samples
https://github.com/0xdea/advisories - my public advisories starting from CAN-2003-0190, err..., CVE-2003-0190 up until today
Thanks for following along, and enjoy your summer break! ☀️
OpenSSH 10.5 has just been released, mostly to fix a handful of security vulnerabilities.

We plan to move to a more frequent release schedule for as long as this season of LLM-found bugs lasts. More details in the release notes.

The postmortem of the hack on my Forgejo instance is here! I had fun investigating and writing it, so I hope y’all enjoy reading about it :)
this program was generated with LLVM assistance
"don't you mean LLM assistance?"
no, i mean i implemented a few examples and left the rest as UB for the compiler to figure out https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/hd5Mhdhev
Somebody posted a Windows 11 LPE writeup, with a CVE that doesn't yet exist (CVE-2026-62737).
By poking at kloader's ExecutionContext, we can get kernel mode execution at an arbitrary address.
A stock Windows VM won't have a NIC that uses the NetAdapterCx framework, so will not show as affected. But you can start that service to see it in action.
The PoC has a hard-coded 0xFFFFF80041414141 as an execution target. I'm sure that somebody knowledgeable with Windows kernel stuff can figure out how to modify this to do something useful.
I predict that CVE-2026-62737 will be included in this Patch Tuesday lineup.

come on now. be cool guys.
On Saturday night, one of our CT logs rejected most submissions for 30 minutes.
I just published the post-mortem, and the investigation was... a lot of fun? It involves Go mutex starvation, SQLite WAL behavior, and ZFS record sizes.
I got to SIGKILL a VM 200 times, implement a turnstile (TIL!), and order a Nokia flip phone.
