At Dentsu Aegis Network, we conduct an annual Digital Society Index (DSI) research study. This is our global research covering 22 countries, including Russia, focused on the digital economy and its impact on society. This year, we couldn't overlook COVID-19 and decided to explore how the pandemic has influenced digitalization. As a result, the DSI […]
The analytical company RedMonk has published a new version of its programming language rankings, based on a combination of GitHub popularity and discussion activity on Stack Overflow. Among the most notable changes is Rust entering the top 20 most popular languages, pushing Haskell out of the chart. Compared to the previous edition released six months ago, C++ has also moved up to fifth […]
Developers of the Redox operating system, which is written using Rust and based on the microkernel concept, have announced the implementation of application debugging capabilities using the GDB debugger. To use GDB, you need to uncomment the lines with gdbserver and gnu-binutils in the filesystem.toml file and launch the gdb-redox layer that will start its own gdbserver and connect it to gdb via IPC. An alternative option involves running a separate […]
The Apache Foundation has released its financial report for the fiscal year 2020 (from May 1, 2019, to April 30, 2020). The total assets for the reporting period amounted to $3.5 million, which is $300,000 less than in the fiscal year 2019. The amount of equity decreased by $281,000, totaling $2.16 million. Most of the funds were obtained […]
Note to translators: The author of this article (Luc Perkins) is a developer advocate at CNCF, the home for various Open Source projects like Linkerd, SMI (Service Mesh Interface), and Kuma (by the way, have you also wondered why Istio is not on this list?). Once again, he attempts to bring a better understanding of the trendy hype called 'service mesh' to the DevOps community […]
We continue to explore the new Check Point Management Platform cloud platform for managing endpoint protection software — SandBlast Agent. In the previous article, we described the main components of SandBlast Agent, got acquainted with the architecture of Check Point Infinity, and registered the SandBlast Agent Management Platform application on the Infinity Portal. Today, we will take a closer look at the web interface of the agent management system — this article […]
Welcome to a new series of articles dedicated to protecting personal workstations using the Check Point SandBlast Agent solution and the new cloud management system — SandBlast Agent Management Platform. We discussed SandBlast Agent in articles regarding malware analysis and the features of the new E83.10 version, and we have long promised to publish a comprehensive series of articles on deployment and administration […]
FreeBSD has implemented changes that allow for lockless lookup operations in VFS. Optimizations have been made for the TmpFS, UFS, and ZFS file systems, but do not yet extend to ACL, Capsicum, access to file descriptors, symbolic links, and ".." in paths. For the specified capabilities, the old file determination mechanism is being rolled back. A test conducted on TmpFS measured […]
An update is available for three main OS Alt versions 9.1 based on the Ninth ALT platform (p9 Vaccinium): "Alt Workstation 9," "Alt Server 9," and "Alt Education 9." The most significant change is the further expansion of the list of supported hardware platforms. The Alt OS is available for eight Russian and foreign hardware platforms: 32-/64-bit x86 and ARM processors, Elbrus processors (v3 and […]
Eight vulnerabilities have been identified in the GRUB2 bootloader. The most dangerous issue (CVE-2020-10713), codenamed BootHole, allows for the bypassing of the UEFI Secure Boot mechanism and enables the installation of unverifiable malicious software. A notable feature of this vulnerability is that simply updating GRUB2 is insufficient for resolution, as an attacker can utilize a boot medium with an old vulnerable version, certified by a digital signature. […]
We launched new services, traffic increased, we replaced servers, connected new sites, and revamped the data centers – now we will tell you this story, which we first introduced to you five years ago. Five years is a significant time for interim results. Therefore, we decided to share the development of our infrastructure, which has gone through an incredibly interesting journey over these five years, of which we […]
When development first begins, it's often unclear which packages will actually go into the target rootfs. In other words, it's too early to grab onto LFS, buildroot, or yocto (or anything else), but you need to start already. For those with ample resources (I have 4GB eMMC on the pilot samples), there is a solution to provide developers with a distribution that will quickly deliver whatever is missing in this […]
