I guess now that I've resolved to order a block of static IPs from my ISP I can move all (minus one) of my VPSes into the basement lab instead and actually save money that I can invest in more equipment for the lab.

Wednesday I will celebrate my independence by leaving as much of the cloud behind as I can in a day.

@niconiconi @vertigo @uranther @ajroach42 little known fact that #Apple decided to replicate this user experience on iPhone 4: https://www.wired.com/2010/06/iphone-4-holding-it-wrong/

History repeats itself: the article even starts with te same joke!

@uranther @ajroach42 (For starters, it used cooperative multitasking. But even then, a task switch was *very* expensive because it had to swap out a chunk of globally shared address space. It was like trying to get MS-DOS "taskers" to multitask by faking a task-switch as quickly as possible.)

@niconiconi They can't hide their tricks any longer. Every researcher under the sun is now chasing their Intel CVE glory.

What's the difference between a laptop and a notebook, you ask?

If you can use it on your lap without suffering discomfort or burns, it's a laptop - otherwise it's a notebook

if you identify a box somewhere in the interwebz as a command & control server, is there an acknowledge place to report to the #infosec community to contribute to banlists/defense/research?

@niconiconi @uranther @ajroach42 yeah, I'm more looking for a CPU with an exposed bus. otherwise, I could try and write an emulator that runs bare metal on a commodity ARM SoC

@niconiconi @ddipaola Soon I'll play with my #HiFive1 and can do some measurements.

By combining ASLR, NOEXEC, CFI, SafeStack, and the other hardening techniques, #HardenedBSD provides a pretty hostile environment for exploit authors. That's not to say exploitation is impossible; rather, it becomes much more difficult and time consuming.

3/3

Did you know that #HardenedBSD's feature set includes more than ASLR? We have also implemented PaX NOEXEC, integrated non-Cross-DSO CFI, and many other features.

We're working hard on Cross-DSO CFI. Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is a powerful exploit mitigation.

1990, meet 2018: How far does 20MHz of Macintosh IIsi power go today?
It turns out you can use a nearly 30-year-old bit of hardware for today's demands.

"It’s actually a big myth that search engines need to track your personal search history to make money or deliver quality search results" - DuckDuckGo's CEO explains how it’s become profitable without gathering user data

A lot of people assume DNA is pretty much you have this so you'll look like this or similar thing, but you have many layers of coding on top of that, firstly a gene could be a regulatory of another gene, promoter, or it could be protein coding. A protein coding gene can code multiple proteins via Alternative Splicing , and Methylation, Acetylation, or Phosphorylation of histones can change expression of the gene, in fact when you learn something new this is happening in your brain.
