Emergency mode (also referred to as IPKVM), allowing connection to a VPS without RDP directly from the hypervisor level, saves 15–20 minutes a week.

A team of researchers from Peking University, Tsinghua University, and the University of Texas at Dallas has identified a new class of DoS attacks—RangeAmp—based on the use of the HTTP Range header to amplify traffic through Content Delivery Networks (CDN). The essence of the method is that due to the way Range headers are processed by many CDNs, an attacker can request one byte from a large file through the CDN, but […]
The release of the anonymous network I2P 0.9.46 and the C++ client i2pd 2.32.0 has taken place.

To bypass corporate network security and gain access to organizations' local IT infrastructure, intruders typically require an average of four days, and at a minimum, just 30 minutes. This is evidenced by a study conducted by specialists at Positive Technologies. The assessment of the network perimeter security by Positive Technologies revealed that resources in the local network can be accessed in 93% of companies, and […]
