🤯 The level of sophistication of the XZ attack is very impressive! I tried to make sense of the analysis in a single page (which was quite complicated)!

I hope it helps to make sense of the information out there. Please treat the information "as is" while the analysis progresses! 🧐 #infosec #xz

We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design. Niklaus Wirth passed away on the first of January. We mourn a pioneer, colleague, mentor and friend.

Time for an Arm-twist! CVE-2023-4039

Tom Hebb (Meta red team) and I discovered an 0day in GCC (for AArch64 targets) during my Arm exploitation training.

It renders stack canaries against overflows of dynamically-sized variables useless.

Bram Moolenaar has passed way. Sad news. Bram was an exemplary open source proponent. His impact with Vim on software development and system administration cannot be overestimated. Will be missed greatly. Thank you Bram. https://t.co/NUu8hzBeDO

So apparently imax theaters ran off of palm pilots for the quick turn reel unit. And nowadays, rather than having it run off a microcontroller or PC or raspberry pi or iPad, they just run a palm OS emulator? Lmao

holy FUCK.

Windows Snipping Tool is vulnerable to Acropalypse too.

An entirely unrelated codebase.

The same exploit script works with minor changes (the pixel format is RGBA not RGB)

Tested myself on Windows 11
