The subject of this article is connecting external devices to a Mac via SAS, Fibre Channel (FC), eSATA interfaces. Let's clarify right away that there is a healthy pathway to solve the problem of accessing such devices: assemble a cheap PC, plug a SAS or FC HBA controller card into it (for example, a basic LSI adapter), connect your devices to this controller, and install any […] on the PC.
Checkpoint has introduced the Safe-Linking protection mechanism, which complicates the creation of exploits that manipulate the definition or modification of pointers to buffers allocated during a malloc call. While Safe-Linking does not completely block the possibility of exploiting vulnerabilities, it significantly complicates the creation of certain categories of exploits with minimal overhead, as in addition to the exploitable buffer overflow, one must find another vulnerability that causes information leakage about […]
From the Google Blog Editor: Have you ever wondered how Google Cloud Technical Solutions (TSE) engineers handle your support requests? TSE support engineers are responsible for identifying and resolving user-reported issues. Some of these issues are quite simple, but sometimes a request requires the attention of several engineers at once. In this article, one […]
The developers of OpenBSD have released a portable version of the OpenBGPD routing package 6.7, which can be used in operating systems other than OpenBSD. Portability has been achieved using code from the OpenNTPD, OpenSSH, and LibreSSL projects. In addition to OpenBSD, support for Linux and FreeBSD has been declared. OpenBGPD has been tested on Debian 9, Ubuntu 14.04+, and FreeBSD 12. The development of OpenBGPD is supported by the regional […]
An experimental release of the open WinAPI implementation — Wine 5.9 — has occurred. Since the release of version 5.8, 28 bug reports have been closed and 337 changes made. The most significant changes include: Significant progress in the development of the WineD3D backend based on the Vulkan graphics API; Initial support for splitting DLLs into PE format and Unix shared libraries (.so). Initial […]
We are increasingly receiving requests from clients to provide access to the Kubernetes cluster in order to interact with services inside the cluster: to connect directly to a database or service, or to connect a local application with applications inside the cluster… For example, there is a need to connect from one’s local machine to the service memcached.staging.svc.cluster.local. We provide this capability using […]
On this day, exactly 30 years ago, Microsoft introduced the Windows 3.0 operating system, which included the legendary solitaire game that captured the hearts of tens of millions of users worldwide. Although Windows 3.0 was essentially just a graphical shell for MS-DOS, it sold over […] in an unprecedented circulation for its time in just a couple of years.
In anticipation of the release of Intel Comet Lake-S processors, ASUS gathered several successful extreme overclocking enthusiasts at its headquarters, giving them the opportunity to experiment with the new Intel processors. As a result, this set a very high bar for the maximum frequency of the flagship Core i9-10900K right at launch. Enthusiasts began their acquaintance with the new platform using 'simple' liquid nitrogen cooling […]
Microsoft has announced the release of the source code for the GW-BASIC programming language interpreter, which was included with the MS-DOS operating system. The code is open under the MIT license. It is written in assembly for 8088 processors and is based on a snapshot of the original source code dated February 10, 1983. The use of the MIT license allows for free modification, distribution, and use of the code in products, […]
An update to the OpenWrt 19.07.3 distribution has been prepared, aimed at use in various network devices, such as routers and access points. OpenWrt supports a wide range of platforms and architectures and has a build system that makes cross-compiling easy and convenient, allowing different components to be included in the build. This enables the creation of firmware or disk images tailored to specific tasks, […]
Security researchers from Cisco have disclosed details about a vulnerability (CVE-2020-6096) in the implementation of the memcpy() function in Glibc for the 32-bit ARMv7 platform. The issue arises from improper handling of negative values of the parameter that defines the size of the copied area due to the use of assembler optimizations that manipulate signed 32-bit integers. A call to memcpy() on ARMv7 systems with a negative size results in incorrect comparison of values and writing […]
Previously, we noted that with the introduction of Check Point Maestro, the entry level (in monetary terms) for scalable platforms has significantly decreased. There is no longer a need to purchase chassis solutions. You take exactly as much as you need and add more as necessary without large initial costs (as with chassis solutions). You can see how this is done here. For a long time, orders […]
