lightyear just got 6 times faster! Although I now work at @synacktiv.com, I proposed a PR for the tool to support threading and compression, greatly reducing the time required to dump a file. Dumping the demo /etc/passwd now takes 48s instead of 5m30. github.com/ambionics/li...

#ten (and thus my exploits) is now compatible with python 3.13. Thanks @acervoise for the heads up.

This year again, I am lucky enough to get nominated twice for the Top Ten Hacking Techniques, for my research on iconv and PHP, and lightyear. This time feels a bit special however, as these are my last blog posts on ambionics. www.ambionics.io/blog/iconv-c... www.ambionics.io/blog/lightye...
