rdesktop is an open-source UNIX client designed for connecting to Windows remote desktop services. The only maintainer of the project recently has been the company Cendio, as rdesktop was a key component of their commercial product. However, the company decided to focus on Linux desktops, making the support for rdesktop unnecessary for them. An announcement was made seeking […]
After ten months of development, Red Hat has released the stable version of the Cygwin package 3.1.0, which includes a DLL library for emulating the basic Linux API on Windows, allowing for Linux programs to be compiled with minimal changes. The package also includes standard Unix utilities, server applications, compilers, libraries, and header files compiled directly for execution on Windows. Key changes: In compatibility mode […]
GitHub was subjected to an attack that allowed account access through manipulation of Unicode characters in emails. The issue arises because some Unicode characters, when using case transformation functions, are translated into ordinary characters that are visually similar (when several different characters are translated into one character—for example, the Turkish character 'ı' and 'i' […]
Hanno Böck, author of the project fuzzing-project.org, has pointed out vulnerabilities in interactive compilation interfaces that allow the processing of external code in C. By specifying an arbitrary path in the '#include' directive, the compilation error includes the contents of a file that failed to compile. For example, by inserting '#include <\/etc\/shadow>' in one of the online services, it was possible to retrieve the hash of the root user's password from the file […]

Yes, this is Benson's mansion. The new mansion — she had never been here. With a maternal instinct, Nilda felt that the child was here. Of course, here: where else would you keep a kidnapped child if not in a secure and protected hideout? The building, dimly lit and therefore barely distinguishable among the trees, loomed as an impregnable mass. There was still the need to get there: the mansion's territory was surrounded by […]
For modern humans, hair is nothing more than an element of visual self-identification, part of an image and persona. Nevertheless, these keratin formations have several important biological functions: protection, thermoregulation, sensation, etc. Just how strong is our hair? It turns out, it is several times stronger than the hair of an elephant or a giraffe. Today, we will explore a study on […]
Every businessman seeks to reduce costs. The same applies to IT infrastructure. When opening a new office, some might start to grow concerned. After all, you need to set up: a local network; internet access. Preferably with redundancy through a second provider; VPN to the central office (or to all branches); HotSpot for clients with SMS authorization; traffic filtering so that […]

Many are deterred by the word 'shorthand' and for good reason, as it implies a complex system that not only takes time to study but also requires constant application to be effective. I propose that you familiarize yourself with the simplest method of recording spoken Russian using simplified symbols, which certainly won't increase the writing speed by 2-4 times […]
In the update of the NPM package manager 6.13.4, included with Node.js and used for distributing modules in JavaScript, three vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-16775, CVE-2019-16776, and CVE-2019-16777) have been fixed, which allow for modification or overwriting of arbitrary system files during the installation of a package prepared by an attacker. As a workaround for protection, installation with the "--ignore-scripts" option can be used to prevent the execution of built-in package handlers. NPM developers […]
