Security researchers from NinjaLab have developed a side-channel attack technique that allows cloning ECDSA keys stored in YubiKey 5 cryptographic tokens and other devices that use Infineon's cryptographic library. The attack, codenamed EUCLEAK, can be applied to many other microcontroller-based systems in addition to tokens with Infineon SLE78 chips, such as the YubiKey 5 [β¦]
The creator of the original Adelie Linux distribution, which uses the standard Musl C library, the OpenRC initialization system, and the APK package manager, has announced the successful porting of the system manager systemd to work with the Musl library. Despite the fact that the implementation has the status of initial, it is already quite stable and demonstrates a threefold reduction in boot time, compared to using OpenRC. Initially, systemd supports the work [β¦]
The SteamFork project is developing a Linux distribution that attempts to recreate the SteamOS environment for use on regular computers, as well as on gaming consoles other than the Steam Deck. The project is a fork of the similar HoloISO distribution, and differs from it in that it attempts to achieve as full compatibility with SteamOS as possible, without adding third-party packages and without removing or modifying the existing SteamOS [β¦]
Alpha version 0.70.0 of the Medal of Honor open engine, OpenMoHAA, has been released. The goal of the project is to make a cross-platform open source engine that is fully compatible with the original Medal of Honor. The OpenMoHAA project is based on the ioquake3 source code, as the original Medal of Honor used the Id Tech 3 engine (i.e. the engine from Quake 3) as a base. What [β¦]
The release of Q4OS 5.6 distribution has been published. It is based on the Debian package base and comes with the KDE Plasma 5 and Trinity desktops (continues development of the KDE 3.5.x code base). Both user environments can coexist simultaneously on one system, and the user can switch between them. The distribution is positioned as undemanding to hardware resources and offering a classic desktop design. Size [β¦]
A Fedora developer working at Red Hat has introduced the SyncStar toolkit, which allows you to deploy services for organizing the recording of operating systems of the user's choice onto USB drives. The main purpose of SyncStar is called the creation of kiosks and information stands that can be used during technical conferences and exhibitions to record bootable assemblies of various operating systems onto USB drives of event participants. The project code is written [β¦]
The release of the QEMU 9.1 project is presented. As an emulator, QEMU allows you to run a program built for one hardware platform on a system with a completely different architecture, for example, run an ARM application on an x86-compatible PC. In the virtualization mode in QEMU, the performance of code execution in an isolated environment is close to a hardware system due to the direct execution of instructions on the CPU and [β¦]
Ergo Framework is an implementation of ideas, technologies and design patterns from the Erlang world in the Go programming language. It is built on an actor model, network transparency and a set of ready-made components for development. This significantly simplifies the creation of complex and distributed solutions, while ensuring a high level of reliability and performance. This version marks an important stage in the development of Ergo [β¦]
