A few days ago, I decided to perform reverse engineering on the firmware of my router using binwalk. I bought myself a TP-Link Archer C7 home router. It's not the best router, but it’s sufficient for my needs. Every time I buy a new router, I install OpenWRT. Why? Generally, manufacturers don’t care much about supporting their routers, and over time the software […

Mike Gabriel, who is involved in maintaining the Qt and Mate packages in Debian, has proposed an initiative to create packages for Unity 8 and Mir for Debian GNU/Linux and their subsequent integration into the distribution. This work is being done in collaboration with the UBports project, which has taken on the development of the mobile platform Ubuntu Touch and the Unity 8 desktop after […]
Recently, Mike Gabriel, one of the maintainers of Debian, made an agreement with people from the UBports Foundation to 'package' the Unity 8 desktop for Debian. Why do this? The main advantage of Unity 8 is its convergence: a single codebase for all platforms. It looks equally good on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Currently, there is no ready-made […]
Unbeknownst to everyone, the development team released CentOS 8.1—a completely free version of the commercial distribution from Red Hat. The innovations are similar to those in RHEL 8.1 (excluding some modified or removed utilities): The kpatch utility is available for 'hot' (non-reboot required) kernel updates. The eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) utility has been added—a virtual machine for executing code in kernel space. Support has been added for […]
It's always nice to share useful information with the community. We asked our employees to recommend resources they visit themselves to stay updated on events in the world of cybersecurity. The selection turned out to be extensive, and we had to split it into two parts. Part one. Twitter NCC Group Infosec—a technical blog of a major cybersecurity company, which regularly releases its research, tools/plugins for Burp. Gynvael Coldwind […]
Many people think about their pressing issues before going to sleep or right after waking up. I am no exception. This morning, a comment from Habr came to my mind: A colleague in the chat shared a story: I had an incredible client two years ago, back when I was taking on fresh ‘crisis’ work. The client had two teams in their dev group, each working on […]
Hello! Welcome to the seventh lesson of the Fortinet Getting Started course.
