Submitted by

The release of the Snoop 1.3.3 project has been published, which develops a forensic OSINT tool that looks for user accounts in public data (intelligence based on open sources). The program analyzes various sites, forums and social networks for the presence of the username you are looking for, i.e. allows you to determine on which sites there is a user with the specified nickname. The project was developed on the materials of research work in the field of scraping […]

GTK 4.10 graphics toolkit available

Submitted by

After six months of development, the release of a multiplatform toolkit for creating a graphical user interface - GTK 4.10.0 - has been published. GTK 4 is being developed under a new development process that attempts to provide application developers with a stable and supported API for several years, which can be used without fear that applications will have to be reworked every six months due to API changes in the next GTK branch. […]

Project on writing a virtual machine in Russified C language

Submitted by

The source code of the initial implementation of a virtual machine developed from scratch has been published. The project is notable for the fact that the code is written in the Russified C language (for example, instead of int - integer, long - lengths, for - for, if - if, return - return, etc.). Russification of the language is done through macro substitutions and implemented by connecting two header files ru_stdio.h and keywords.h. Initial […]

GNOME Shell and Mutter complete transition to GTK4

Submitted by

The GNOME Shell user interface and the Mutter compositing manager have been completely converted to use the GTK4 library and get rid of the hard dependency on GTK3. Also, the gnome-desktop-3.0 dependency has been replaced with gnome-desktop-4 and gnome-bg-4, and libnma with libnma4. In general, GNOME remains tied to GTK3 for the time being, as not all applications and libraries have been ported to GTK4. For example, on GTK3 […]

Introduced VPN Rosenpass, resistant to attacks using quantum computers

Submitted by

A group of German researchers, developers, and cryptographers has published the first release of the Rosenpass project, which develops VPNs and key exchange mechanisms that are resistant to hacking on quantum computers. VPN WireGuard is used as a transport with standard encryption algorithms and keys, and Rosenpass complements it with key exchange tools protected from tampering on quantum computers (i.e. Rosenpass additionally protects key exchange, […]

StrongSwan IPsec Vulnerability Allowing Remote Code Execution

Submitted by

StrongSwan 5.9.10 is now available, a free package for creating IPSec-based VPN connections used on Linux, Android, FreeBSD, and macOS. The new version fixes a dangerous vulnerability (CVE-2023-26463) that could be used to bypass authentication, but could also potentially lead to attacker code being executed on the server or client side. The problem manifests itself when checking specially designed certificates […]

Reworking the VGEM driver in Rust

Submitted by

Maira Canal from Igalia presented a project to rewrite the VGEM (Virtual GEM Provider) driver in Rust. VGEM is about 400 lines of code and provides a hardware-agnostic GEM (Graphics Execution Manager) backend used for shared buffer access by 3D software device drivers such as LLVMpipe to improve software rasterization performance. VGM […]
