  • A Stuxnet source reconstruction appeared on GitHub: what it is and is not

    A GitHub repository called Sadpainy/Stuxnet surfaced this week claiming a reconstructed source code of Stuxnet, the worm that damaged Iranian centrifuges and effectively invented the category of cyber-physical weapon. It is written in C, targets Windows XP and Windows 7 only, and comes with the usual educational-use disclaimer. It has 69 stars and a single…

  • MikroTrick: pre-auth MikroTik takeover chain under active attack

    If you run a MikroTik router with SSH exposed to the internet, patch it now, then check it for compromise.

The post, Signing TLS handshakes inside a TPM, demonstrates the whole chain with a small library, and the mechanics are worth unpacking. Why…

    Asahi Linux, the project that reverse engineers Apple silicon for Linux, now officially supports Macs built on the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. The announcement landed on the project blog this week under the title M2 Episode 1, and it carries both good news and the usual honest list of caveats. What works The…

  • OpenAI’s Chief Scientist Says No Lab Is Ready to Scale at Full Speed

    OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki published an essay on September 6 called An Alien Mind, and the timing is hard to ignore. Three days earlier, the company shipped GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model yet and the first to cross a Critical threshold on cybersecurity evaluations. Days after that launch, the person who runs research…
