sat in seat 5G on the flight home and now i might have covid. coincidence??

good sploit

i think its not really a good representation of what we are looking for but the query for "number of people" yields 12854871 and the query for "number of grandchildren" yields 2191740.

watching the most recent great @acollierastro.bsky.social video and wondered what percent of people with wikipedia pages also have at least one parent with a wikipedia page. i figured someone may have already checked this but it seems like no. got 3/10 blue parents when going to random ppl pages

'An internal document named “OPSEC”' is a very fun start to a sentence in the intellexa leak article.

We derestricted a number of vulnerabilities found by Big Sleep in JavaScriptCore today: issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=com... All of them were fixed in the iOS 26.1 (and equivalent) update last month. Definitely some cool bugs in there!

javascript should support memory-unsafety, just to make things more interesting

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

Doctor says, 'Dont worry, parser design is simple. Great programmer Kate Compton has written the parser you seek’

wish I was here

fun little bit of code in CoreFoundation when you attempt to call addObjectsFromSet: with a non-set argument. it warns you 64 times while adding to "checkForAndForgiveClientSin" with the error message also including "Please wait while the system corrects this..." like its gonna take a minute lol

Some more cool JS Engine bugs found by Big Sleep were fixed in yesterday's Apple security updates: support.apple.com/en-us/125632 Technical details will be available soon at issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=com...

petition to change the name "big sleep" to "superhuman hacking machine" so i feel less bad about it finding 1000x more bugs than me

support.apple.com/en-us/125632 the name "big sleep" feels a lot more insulting now that its really threatening to take our jobs

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

turning a big dial taht says "AI" on it and constantly looking back at the market for approval like a contestant on the price is right.

tired: traveling for halloween wired: spooky action at a distance

this psyduck is adorable

Apple is planning a special initiative featuring iPhone 17 with Memory Integrity Enforcement. To rapidly make this defense available to those targeted by mercenary spyware, the company will provide a thousand iPhone 17 devices to civil society organizations. security.apple.com/blog/apple-s...

(guy designing c++): alright how do we make it as hard as possible to find the actual value of a variable

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety" Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime www.404media.co/police-said-...

its pretty cool how we are warping our economy so that it will either develop AGI or completely implode. (actually a part of me does unfortunately really think this is cool)

slightly ominous mailer from the Red Cross

Happy radare2 6.0.4 release day infosec.exchange/@radareorg/1...

reading more about the Team Atlanta AIxCC solution i do still wonder if eliminating the LLM components in favor of normal ML classification (or just "dumb" hardcoded logic) could achieve results that are nearly as good and orders of magnitude more efficient team-atlanta.github.io/blog/post-ml...

i was thinking earlier today about how i never reflexively check janky looking sites for injection vulns anymore. so i tested the next site where i got the vibe. immediate sqli

The iPhone 17 is powered by Apple's A19 SoC (System on a Chip). Chipwise took a die photo of the chip, but it's a bit drab. I spiced it up by applying the over-saturated color gradient that Apple used for die photos of the M1 chip :-) Link to the original die photo: chipwise.tech/our-portfoli...

someone needs to make flare-on but not windows shit (i know that this is "literally every other ctfs rev chals")

the grapheneOS hardened allocator is pretty scary www.synacktiv.com/en/publicati... has there ever been a recorded ITW 0c exploit on a grapheneOS device?

NEW: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding the agency release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read messages from encrypted chat apps www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

Found a video from a couple of years ago when I wrote a brainfuck implementation in Fastly VCL. Each tick of the interpreter was executed by making a GET request to the VCL service with the entire interpreter state encoded in the URL. Anyway, here is "hello world" in 1771 GET requests.

this list of people on the wikipedia page for "If Anyone Builds it, Everyone Dies" is absolutely sending me

there is approximately no chance that this is a real effect, and if it is there is a 0% chance it is intentional. LLMs don't understand vulns enough to make subtle mistakes, so any intentional sabotage would be way more obvious than whatever "somewhat more apt to result in low-quality code" means.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Wrote a trigger for CVE-2025-38494/5 (an integer underflow in the HID subsystem) that leaks 64 KB of OOB memory over USB. Still works on Pixels and Ubuntus (but the bug is fixed in stable kernels). github.com/xairy/kernel...

Want to learn reverse engineering? There'll be a free, women*-only BlackHoodie workshop from October 6th to 9th in Paris! Topics: • Linux memory forensics 🕵️‍♀️ (by Sonia) • Web app and mobile app pentesting 🕸️📱 (by Paula) • iOS reversing 🍎 (by me)

the dumbest companies are breaking the internet. my mother-in-law lives near Stroudsburg PA and is being cut off from streaming services because the geo-ip company suddenly decided that "STH" now meant "Stockholm"... its almost like the hints geo-ip uses weren't meant to actually be relied on

their friendship 🥺
