The system call pidfd_getfd() has been added, allowing a process to retrieve a file descriptor from another process. A bootconfig mechanism has been introduced, enabling the kernel […]
Since the previous article was well received, it would be wrong not to share additional utilities that I still use today. I want to clarify that this article is adapted for beginners, and seasoned Linux users may need to be patient with some of the explanations. Let's dive into the topic!

According to Verizon, most (87%) cybersecurity incidents occur within minutes, while 68% of companies take months to detect them. This is also confirmed by a Ponemon Institute study, indicating that most organizations spend an average of 206 days detecting an incident. In our investigations, hackers can control a company's infrastructure for years without being detected. For example, in one […]
The BSoD Gaming YouTube channel has published a video demonstrating the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on PC via the Yuzu emulator, which recreates the 'insides' of the Nintendo Switch console. While there is no talk of 100% emulation yet, the game can at least be started and even played a little. The fighting game runs at 48–60 frames per second on a configuration with an Intel Core i3-8350K processor and 16 GB of RAM […]
