A malicious code injection (CVE-2019-15224) has been discovered in the popular gem package rest-client, which has a total of 113 million downloads. This vulnerability downloads executable commands and sends information to an external host.

Before the malicious versions were blocked, their […]
Hello again. This is Sergey Omelnitsky speaking. Today I will share one of my headaches with you, specifically what to do when a project is being developed by many programmers of different levels, using an Angular application as an example. It has been my experience that I worked for a long time only with my team, where we had long ago agreed on formatting rules, commenting, indentation, etc. We have gotten used to […]
In previous posts, we discussed simple video surveillance systems in business; now we will talk about projects where the number of cameras counts in the thousands. Often the difference between the most expensive video surveillance systems and solutions that small and medium-sized businesses can implement today lies in the scale and budget. If there are no budget constraints for the project, you can directly […]
The latest beta version of the popular utility AIDA64, designed for diagnosing, testing, and gathering system information, has been updated with information about the mysterious NVIDIA GeForce RTX T10-8 graphics accelerator, which was previously unannounced and had not been mentioned anywhere.

Today, many IT companies are facing the challenge of finding employees in their region. An increasing number of job offers in the labor market are related to the possibility of remote work. Full-time remote work implies that the employer and employee are bound by clear labor obligations: a contract or employment agreement; most often, a defined regulated work schedule, stable salary, vacations and […]
The FESCo committee (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), responsible for the technical development of the Fedora distribution, has approved the discontinuation of the main repositories for the i686 architecture. It should be noted that the initial consideration of this proposal was postponed to study the possible negative impact of discontinuing the supply of packages for i686 on local module builds. This decision complements the already implemented decision in the rawhide branch to stop the creation of bootable […]
Thanks to the open-source Chromium, Microsoft has made its first significant and positive impact on the Google Chrome browser. Reports indicate that this new feature should resolve a long-standing issue with 'Chrome'—its 'greediness' regarding laptop battery consumption. Shawn Pickett from Microsoft stated that media content is cached to disk during download and playback. And this […]
The Open Wireless Link project, which examines Apple's proprietary wireless protocols, presented a report at the USENIX 2019 conference analyzing vulnerabilities in Apple's wireless protocols (including possibilities for conducting Man-in-the-Middle attacks to modify files transmitted between devices, Denial of Service attacks to block device interactions and cause device hangs, as well as using AirDrop for user identification and tracking). During the study […]
