Wrote an article about turning a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen laptop into a programmable USB device by enabling the xDCI controller 😯
Now I can emulate USB devices from the laptop without any external hardware, including via Raw Gadget or even Facedancer 😁
The overall process included fiddling with Linux kernel drivers, xHCI, DWC3, ACPI, BIOS/UEFI, Boot Guard, TPM, NVRAM, PCH, PMC, PSF, IOSF, and P2SB, and making a custom USB cable 😱

Very proud that the IEEE has published my article “Why Bloat Is Still Software’s Biggest Vulnerability - A 2024 plea for lean software”:
È strano che non abbia ancora registrato puntarella it.
[EDIT]Ah, capito… è GIÀ registrato.
Qualys has disclosed a vulnerability in the GNU C Library that can be exploited by a local attacker for root access. It was introduced in the 2.37 release, and also backported to 2.36.lwn.net
Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chrome’s Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.Electronic Frontier Foundation

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.
"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.
That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.
Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.
I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
Isn't buying a knife and getting a screwdriver, nail file and corkscrew the opposite of the simplicity requested here?
I have a new post: Live Migrating from #RaspberryPiOs #bullseye to #Debian #bookworm. changelog.complete.org/archive…
I got annoyed that #Raspbian officially has no upgrade path, the security situation, the lag behind Debian, lack of backports, and lack of initramfs in its custom kernel. So I managed to live migrate some Pis to Debian.
If you have /tmp on your SSD, instead of a tmpfs mount:
- create a new directory and mount it as tmpfs (1Gb)
# mkdir /tmp/tmp
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /tmp/tmp
- now tell gcc to use it:
# export TMPDIR=/tmp/tmp

"SMTP Smuggling" vulnerability in Postfix allows to spoof senders even in the presence of some DMARC checks. Configuration workarounds exist.
Also, a wholehearted f* you to SEC Consult, who sat on this since June and disclosed it to some closed-source vendors and MSPs, but could apparently not be bothered to give e.g. Postfix a heads-up, publishing this close to the holidays.
Boosts for awareness welcome.
Edit: So this has kinda blown up. and especially because the author of the SEC advisory is going to have a slot at 37C3, I would like to add something important: I intentionally wrote "SEC Consult" above, not "$individual". Do not start harassing that person. For all we know, this is a corporate failure and the individual would actually appreciate guidance and tips. That does not mean to not ask the hard questions, but keep the framing in mind. They might genuinely have been told by their managers that that is how responsible disclosure works.
I see SEC Consult has amended their page sec-consult.com/blog/detail/sm… with something of an acknowledgment that they might have stuffed up disclosure a bit here. It does read a bit like "We contacted both vendors, Microsoft _and_ Cisco!"
A hearty Fuck You to SEC Consult for being bad at their one job, and a hearty side of Fuck You to Cisco for their arrogant "It's not a bug".
Now, after I have patched my Postfix server at $dayjob, back to my previously scheduled long weekend.

The internet is a big place. We can all have our own fedi. Each of us can have whatever kind of experience, community, connections, etc, we want here.
That’s the beauty of this place. There is enough room for everyone.
Be wary of anyone who tries to force you to be in community with them because of their myopic view of what online spaces should be.
We can make different decisions. We can make better decisions.
