The readiness of panthor, the open driver for the 10th generation Mali GPUs, has been announced.

Posted on

Collabora has announced the readiness of the open driver panthor, developed for the tenth generation of Mali GPUs (G310, G510, G710), which uses the CSF (Command Stream Frontend) technology to offload some driver functions to the firmware to reduce CPU load and offers a new model for organizing GPU workloads. The DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) driver panthor has been accepted into the drm-misc branch […]

The NixBSD project is developing a version of NixOS with a FreeBSD kernel.

Posted on

The NixBSD project has been introduced, developing an unofficial branch of the NixOS distribution which utilizes a FreeBSD kernel instead of the Linux kernel. For software installation, it employs the Nix package manager, which stores the results of package builds in subdirectories within /nix/store and allows the use of multiple versions of a single application. System settings are configured through a single configuration file. There is also an option for quick system rollback to […]

Cloudflare has opened the source code for Pingora, a toolkit for building network services.

Posted on

Cloudflare has announced the open-source release of the Pingora framework, designed for developing secure, high-performance network services and programmable network systems in Rust. The framework is well-tested and already in use within high-load systems — a proxy built on its basis has been operational for over a year in the Cloudflare content delivery network instead of nginx, handling more than 40 million requests […]

AMD was unable to implement HDMI 2.1 in open drivers due to HDMI Forum requirements.

Posted on

The HDMI Forum, responsible for developing specifications and test sets related to the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) data transmission interface, has not allowed AMD to implement support for the HDMI 2.1 specification in open drivers. It has been noted that currently creating open implementations of HDMI 2.1 is impossible without violating HDMI Forum's licensing requirements. Changes to implement HDMI 2.1 support were developed […]

A distribution for creating network storage OpenMediaVault 7.0 is available.

Posted on

After nearly two years since the formation of the last significant branch, a stable release of OpenMediaVault 7.0 has been published, allowing for the quick deployment of Network-Attached Storage (NAS). The OpenMediaVault project was founded in 2009 following a split among developers of the FreeNAS distribution, resulting in the creation of a branch alongside the classic FreeNAS based on FreeBSD, where developers aimed to […]

IBM has integrated AI protection against attacks into FCM flash drives

GitHub has enabled API token leak protection by default.

Posted on

GitHub has announced the default implementation of a mechanism to protect against the accidental inclusion of sensitive data in public repositories, which developers may leave in the code. For example, configuration files containing database passwords, tokens, or API access keys sometimes end up in the repository. Previously, scanning was conducted in passive mode, allowing for the detection of leaks that had already occurred, which fell […]

Over 100,000 repositories with malicious code have been identified on GitHub.

Posted on

Security researchers from Apiiro have identified malicious activity where attackers post modified clones of various projects' repositories on GitHub. These clones include minor changes aimed at facilitating harmful actions. Typically, the malicious repository is created under the same name but attached to a different organization ("github.org/org1/proj" -> "github.org/org2/proj"), or with a slightly altered name (typosquatting), expecting that the victim […]

ArtPrompt — an attack on AI systems that allows bypassing filters using ASCII art

Posted on

A group of researchers from Washington, Illinois, and Chicago universities has discovered a new method to bypass restrictions on processing potentially dangerous content in AI chatbots built on large language models (LLM). The attack is based on the fact that GPT-3.5, GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), and Llama2 (Meta) language models successfully recognize and consider ASCII-art formatted text in their queries. Thus […]
