@levelsio Using REA?

For me Claude Code refuses to do most reverse enginedring tasks...

The Anthropic alternative to Grok Bot is finally here

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.

It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

@IT_unhinged It's a good post when you are not sure if it's a made up story or true 😅

Wiz deep dive: https://t.co/15TPSoAqtu
PHP advisory: https://t.co/w8aFBsUFFa
Bug 1 & 2: https://t.co/YAyQlDmLw0

[Rareș @raress96]

The PHP bugs patched this week were in PHP for over 10 years, back to 5.4

Wiz says that without AI, the exploit chains wouldn't have been practical

And the bug is in PHP itself, so even a Hello World PHP site can be exposed

Thoughts from a former PHP dev🧵

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites.

Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors.

Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact.

This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare.

It's already exploited in the wild (watchTowr honeypots)

Update to 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35 and restart Apache/FPM workers. On 7.4, 8.0 or 8.1 there are only minimal source backports or LTS vendor packages

Got an old PHP box you forgot about?

[Rareș @raress96]

@levelsio The company I work at is handling it as we speak

[Rareș @raress96]

As a former PHP engineer, I am glad I no longer work in that language

[H4x0r.DZ @h4x0r_dz]

if this affects the default installation of PHP
We are fucked up

@chijuano Might want to check your scheduler, as you posted two posts similar to this one

[Rareș @raress96]

@andilosing That's great that the audience you have built really needed this solution :)

[Rareș @raress96]

@leeschmidt123 @MattiSchroder Finally someone who sees it from a different perspective

Beehiiv's customers are very different from Marc's audience

[Rareș @raress96]

@aschapmann @marclou @denk_tweets Both are serving different audiences

Both are wrong and right at the same time

[Rareș @raress96]

@LouisLsvr @marclou Their audience is very different from indie hackers

They do make a really good point and explain why if you can do it yourself doesn't mean you should

[Rareș @raress96]

@RizRizawan Well I tried replying 30+ replies per day a few months ago, and doing it consistently for 1 month, but it just took too many hours from the day for me

I don't want to spend all day on social media

[Rareș @raress96]

Lets connect posts really work!

This post brought me ~80 followers, finally making it above 700 after being stuck around 650 for months

Let's see if I am getting out of X "view jail"

Not sure about the quality of followers though, hopefully they are real people 😅

[Rareș @raress96]

Let's connect🫵

I'm an engineer with a family, 11+ years experience, and I ship various SaaS and AI products solo (soon apps too)

If you're a:

- solopreneur
- engineer who can't market
- dev who can't design
- NOT an indie hacker😅

Come say hi.
