Another vote for Kakoune. I think most people will find its approach a bit obtuse at first, but once it starts to click it’s pretty interesting. Maybe if you’re a seasoned terminal veteran it will make more sense to you right outta the gate

If we're nitpicking, then the some were released in July 2019, some were released in October 2019, and some in 2020. And practically, if the earliest they were shipping was July 2019, the wide majority of owners will have had the unit

Yes, fair enough. My hasty anger was emotionally driven because I just built a fairly powerful gaming computer with a Ryzen 3600, and because I am perpetually chafed by the hardware treadmill. I still think "no fix planned" for

Appreciate the clarification, that makes sense. Maybe we'll get more details on potential persistence methods from the talk they'll give tomorrow: https://info.defcon.org/event/?id=54863

The Ryzen 3000 series ("matisse") is less than 5 years old, with the models coming out in late 2019 and 2020. To not issue a fix for those is very disappointing. I just built a gaming PC with a Ryzen 3600. It is more than sufficie

In AES-GCM (simplified explanation), an encrypted message takes 3 inputs: plaintext, a symmetric encryption key (generally unique per-session, as in this program), and a 12-byte nonce (a.k.a. IV). If an attacker intercepts 2 messages that w

You believe that this thing will have more usefulness in an apocalypse scenario? I think that anything high-tech immediately becomes far less useful if the infrastructure that supports modern electronics and computers collapses.

Well, it kind of negates it a little bit, because they are against trackers, and state that their website does not use them, but they are spreading Google's trackers through their website. Of course, this is almost certainly accidental

The simplest thing would be to simply link to a Youtube video, perhaps with a small warning that it will take them to Youtube which uses trackers. You could even make the link an image that is the thumbnail of the video. Not the prettiest o

As in, there was no way to have configured the sensors to prevent this? They were just going to get this if they were connected to the internet? If I was an admin that would make me very angry.

Seems like the biggest downside would be that sharing code becomes much harder. Currently it is easy to share code in as small of a portion as you'd like. If the canonical representation is an AST, it opens up a lot of problems around
