Hello, %username%. The third part of my beer cycle on Habra has come out less noticeable than the previous ones ā judging by the comments and ratings, so I must have already bored you with my stories. However, since it makes sense and is necessary to finish the story about beer components, hereās the fourth part! Letās go. As usual, there will be a short beer story at the beginning. And […]
The release of the lightweight MX Linux 18.3 distribution has occurred, created through the collaborative efforts of communities formed around the antiX and MEPIS projects. The release is based on the Debian package base, featuring enhancements from the antiX project and numerous custom applications that facilitate configuration and software installation. By default, the Xfce desktop is offered. 32-bit and 64-bit builds are available for download, sized at 1.4 GB […]
We continue to discuss useful tools for pentesters. In this new article, we will explore tools for analyzing the security of web applications. Our colleague BeLove compiled a similar selection about seven years ago. Itās interesting to see which tools have remained strong and which have faded into the background and are now rarely used. Notably, this includes Burp Suite, […]
A trivial and dull pseudo-scientific fantasy about the workings of the human psyche and AI depicted through the clichĆ©d image of a beautiful fairy. There is no reason to read this. ā1ā I sat in a stupor in her chair. Under the fleece robe, large beads of cold sweat were running down my bare body. I hadnāt left her office for almost a day. For the last four hours, I desperately wanted […]
Some time ago, I wrote about this, but it was a bit sparse and disorganized. Later, I decided to expand the list of tools in the review, add structure to the article, take into account the criticism (thanks a lot to Lefty for the advice), and submitted it to a contest on SekLab (and published the link, but for obvious reasons, no one saw it). The contest is over, the results have been announced, and I […]
This text is a continuation of a series of articles in which I examine the structure of the presumably upcoming decentralized network, Telegram Open Network (TON). In the previous part, I described its most basic levelāthe way nodes interact with each other. Just as a reminder, I have no connection to the development of this network and all the material […]
For two weeks now, the Runet has been buzzing about Telegram and the situation with its senseless and ruthless blocking by Roskomnadzor. Many have been hit in the crossfire, but all this is material for posts on Geektimes. What surprised me, however, is that I have yet to see a single breakdown of the planned Telegram-based network, TON - Telegram Open […]
Over a year ago, it became known about the plans of the messenger Telegram to launch its own decentralized network, Telegram Open Network. At that time, a comprehensive technical document was made available, which was presumably written by Nikolai Durov and described the structure of the future network. For those who missed it, I recommend checking out my summary of this document (part 1, part 2; the third part, unfortunately, is still gathering dust […]
Hello, Habr. We spontaneously held our first internal hackathon. I decided to share with you my pains and conclusions about the preparation for it over the past two weeks, as well as the projects that emerged. A boring part for those interested in marketing. Iāll start with a little story. Early April. Our office is hosting the first hackathon of the MskDotNet Community. The battle for Tatooine is in full swing […]
Some historical parallels Disclaimer: To save time, the TL;DR version of this article is the section 'Potential New Trend'. As humanity evolved, at a certain point in history, various material values were considered luxury itemsāprecious metals, personal cold and firearms, means of transportation, real estate, and so on. The object of the KDPV is the Bugatti Type 57āa car from the company […
Do you remember how in the first part of the blockbuster film 'Men in Black', the top trainees shoot rapidly in all directions at cardboard monsters, and only Will Smith's character, after a brief contemplation, 'blows the brains' out of a cardboard girl holding a book on quantum physics? What does SD-WAN have to do with it? It's quite simple: today, the sales of solutions […]
The entire history of humanity is an attempt to dismantle the old order and build a new, better one. (Anonymous) In the previous article, 'What Does It Take to Build a Blockchain?' we explored the technologies that power all blockchains. Now it's time to understand what tasks modern blockchains can solve. To begin with, let's look at the current state of blockchain analytics and future prospects […]
