Mathy Vanhoef and Eyal Ronen have discovered a new attack method (CVE-2019-13377) on wireless networks using WPA3 protection technology, which allows retrieval of password characteristics that can be used for offline password cracking. The issue arises in the current version of Hostapd. It is worth noting that these authors previously identified six vulnerabilities in WPA3 in April.
The release of the tiling window manager i3wm 4.17 has taken place. The i3wm project was created from scratch after a series of attempts to address the shortcomings of the wmii window manager. i3wm features well-readable and documented code, uses xcb instead of Xlib, correctly supports operation in multi-monitor configurations, employs tree data structures for window positioning, provides an IPC interface, supports UTF-8, and maintains minimalism in window design. […]

Developed and implemented by the same team that develops the LAPACK and ScaLAPACK libraries) has released a new important version 2.5.1 (2019-08-02): added support for Turing; it can now be built via cmake, for which the CMakeLists.txt has been corrected for proper spack installation; fixes for using without FP16; improved compilation on various […]
Preface: By fate, I transitioned from the world of academic science (medicine) to the world of information technology, where I have to use my knowledge of experimental design methodology and data analysis strategies, while applying a new technology stack. During the process of mastering these technologies, I face a number of challenges that, fortunately, I am currently managing to overcome. Perhaps this post...
Hello, Habr! In this article, I want to tell you about a wonderful tool for developing batch data processing workflows, for example in corporate DWH infrastructure or your DataLake. We'll talk about Apache Airflow (hereafter Airflow). It has been unjustly neglected on Habr, and in the main part, I will try to convince you that Airflow is at least worth considering...
We all love Ansible, but Ansible is YAML. There are many formats for configuration files: lists of values, key-value pairs, INI files, YAML, JSON, XML, and many others.

A vulnerability (CVE-2019-9848) has been identified in the LibreOffice office suite, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when opening documents prepared by an attacker. The vulnerability is caused by the LibreLogo component, which is intended for programming education and inserting vector graphics, translating its operations into code in the Python language. By executing LibreLogo instructions, an attacker can achieve code execution in Python […]
Hello everyone. This is Sergey Omelnitsky. Not long ago, I hosted a stream on reactive programming where I talked about asynchronicity in JavaScript. Today, I would like to summarize this material. But before we dive into the main content, we need to start with an introduction. So, let's begin with definitions: what is a stack and a queue? A stack is a collection where elements […]
I have been using Docker for several months to structure the development/delivery process of web projects. I suggest to the readers of "Habr" a translation of the introductory article on Docker — "Understanding Docker". What is Docker? Docker is an open platform for developing, delivering, and running applications. Docker is designed to speed up the deployment of your applications. With Docker, you can separate your application from your infrastructure and […]
