Imagine this scenario. A cold October morning, a design institute in the regional center of one of Russia's regions. Someone from the HR department visits one of the job listing pages on the institute's website, posted a couple of days ago, and sees a photo of a cat. The morning quickly stops being boring… In this article, Pavel Suprunyuk, technical director of the audit and consulting department at Group-IB, […]
Mozilla announced the start of testing a new mechanism for revocation of certificates — CRLite — in the Firefox nightly builds. CRLite allows for efficient certificate revocation checking using a database hosted on the user's system. The implementation of CRLite developed by Mozilla is published under the free MPL 2.0 license. The code for generating the database and server components is written in Python and Go. Added […]
The first release of wasm3 is available, a very fast interpreter for WebAssembly bytecode, primarily designed for running WebAssembly applications on microcontrollers and platforms that lack a JIT implementation for WebAssembly, have insufficient memory for JIT operation, or do not allow the creation of executable memory pages necessary for JIT implementation. The project code is written in C and distributed under the […]
One of the long-standing issues with Windows 10 is the automatic updating of drivers, after which the system may display a 'blue screen', fail to boot, and so on. The cause often lies in incompatible drivers, so Microsoft often has to deal with the consequences, blocking the installation of the new version of Windows 10. Now, however, the course of action will change. According to an internal document, Microsoft will provide its partners, among […]
Introduction Let’s discuss an example of a simple key/value storage system, like memcache. It's simply structured — data is stored in memory, in a hashmap. Access to it is done via a TCP socket. In Python, a hashmap is a standard dict. We will use ZeroMQ for access. Setup To install this package on Debian/Ubuntu, just enter the following in the console: sudo apt-get install libzmq-dev sudo […]
Mozilla has begun testing the Firefox Voice extension, which implements an experimental voice navigation system that allows the use of voice commands to perform standard actions in the browser. Currently, only English language commands are supported. To activate, click on the indicator in the address bar and issue a voice command (the microphone is off in the background). Standard voice control systems […]
The final implementation of the BLAKE3 algorithm has been released, providing a cryptographic hash function designed for applications such as file integrity checks, message authentication, and generating data for digital signatures. BLAKE3 is not intended for password hashing (for passwords, yescrypt, bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 should be used), as it aims for the fastest hash calculation with guaranteed absence of collisions and protection against pre-image attacks […]

As is known, next Tuesday, January 14, Microsoft will release the last set of security updates for Windows 7. After that, support for the 2009 OS will officially cease. Unofficially, tech-savvy individuals will likely be able to use updates provided under paid support, but that is not the focus here. Many users have certainly thought that with the end of OS support and the imminent arrival of the new […]
Dozens of human rights organizations sent an open letter to Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, requesting a change in the policy governing the pre-installation of applications on devices running Android, so that users can independently remove manufacturer-installed software. The organizations are concerned that pre-installed applications may be exploited by unscrupulous manufacturers to collect data […]
I recently read an article in which Mark Zuckerberg made predictions about the next decade. I really enjoy the topic of predictions and try to think along those lines myself. In the article, he states that every decade there is a shift in the technological platform. In the 90s, it was the personal computer; in the 2000s, the internet; and in the 2010s, the smartphone. On […]
