Wait, what about that one time NSO's malware was used to hack Jeff Bezos? Pretty sure he'd have used a +1 ... number.

Isn't this just a commercialized version of Library Genesis?

I don't think we know that all tech has been eclipsed commercially. Recall that in 2012 NRO donated two unused, spare satellites to NASA that were superior to the Hubble telescope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012

You can install uBlock Origin in Firefox, Project Fi, the most secure carrier, supports network switching, and you can install custom APKs (e.g. NewPipe). Also you avoid the iMessage attack surface (granted, you can disable iMessage but it

The files don't need to be gigantic. You could, for example, have a binary config file which in one colliding version encodes a potentially dangerous debugging setting, e.g., "allow_unauthenticated_rpc = false" but in other h

Collisions definitely do matter for git security: many people pin explicit git hashes for their dependancies, and thus they can be tricked in running malicious forks. This requires placing a chosen commit in the git repo (so unlike second p

I heard you can change your address to California, which then gives the option to cancel online (due to state law). It is absolutely ridiculous that NYT will happily take your card info online, but require you to be on hold to speak with th

Can you recommend similar others (or maybe how to find them)? I learned of PushShift because snew, an alternative reddit frontend showing deleted comments, was making fetch requests and I had to whitelist it in uMatrix. Did not know about C

Very nice! A tl;dr with spoilers -- for a typical compression algorithm C(x), applying it over and over again C(x), C(C(x)), C(C(C(x))), ... we would quickly arrive at an input for which the compressed length increases. Here the author prop

It would be interesting to compare this with other low-hanging fruit attack vectors. If you already have physical access, what velocity controls are there in place to prevent me from just repeatedly running cash through the ATM to clear out

Your Polish example is laughable. Poland offered $2 billion to have permanent U.S. bases in Poland but, obviously, did not welcome Russian invasion. "Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat!"

You can't have uBlock Origin (or anything similarly powerful) on iOS as all browsers are skins for Mobile Safari. But you can install Firefox with full extension support on Android!

Cambridge is atypical: it has tons of biotech, FAANG offices, etc to tax, so the city ends up having one of the lowest residential property tax rates in the state. In fact, Cambridge's residential rate is almost 2x less than those of e

How do you deal with lack of uBlock Origin? It's Android's killer feature: you can have real browsers with extensions.
