do you have a starter pack that you want to convert into a list vs following everyone? check out a sample list for the journalist starter pack here.

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission.

The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system().

It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.
This might be the best executed supply chain attack we've seen described in the open, and it's a nightmare scenario: malicious, competent, authorized upstream in a widely used library.

Looks like this got caught by chance. Wonder how long it would have taken otherwise.
Woah. Backdoor in liblzma targeting ssh servers.

www.openwall.com/lists/oss-se...

It has everything: malicious upstream, masterful obfuscation, detection due to performance degradation, inclusion in OpenSSH via distro patches for systemd support…

Now I’m curious what it does in RSA_public_decrypt

does anyone know which code cardyb.bsky.dev uses? trying to see how to run my own link_meta extractor but can't find a good resource!

what might it take to get the community to help @bsky.app get more open / onboard more people?
Threads is officially dead — horrible home feed algo, just weird ecommerce brands and insta models

basically a feed of just cheesy instagram captions

we just launched Solarplex live - a real time communities feed that uses @bsky.app as an open protocol.

you create a community, and all of your posts can now be filtered via that.

we're going to be adding a lot more features to this - our plan is to use @bsky.app to power Solarplex's convos!
