Ubisoft continues to develop its tactical shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. This time, the focus is on the new operator Nøkk from the assault team, who will be part of the second season of the game's fourth year of support. She has long been a dark horse—few outside the Rainbow team know anything about her. A new teaser is dedicated to this character. Nøkk […]
Mozilla developers announced the removal of user-accessible settings in the Firefox codebase for disabling the multiprocess mode (e10s). The reason for discontinuing support for reverting to single-process mode is its low security and potential stability issues due to inadequate coverage during testing. Single-process mode is marked as unsuitable for everyday use. Starting with Firefox 68 […]
Intel unveiled several new experimental open projects at the ongoing OSTS (Open Source Technology Summit) conference. As part of the ModernFW initiative, work is being done to create a scalable and secure replacement for UEFI and BIOS firmware. The project is in its early stages of development, but the proposed prototype already includes enough capabilities for organization […]
If, after the previous news about ZombieLoad, you are in a panic trying to figure out how to disable Intel Hyper-Threading to prevent the exploitation of a new vulnerability similar to Spectre and Meltdown, take a deep breath — Intel's official guidance actually does not recommend doing this in most cases. ZombieLoad is akin to previous attacks via 'side-channel attacks' that compel Intel processors to expose […]
Fujitsu has announced the Lifebook U939X, a convertible laptop primarily aimed at corporate users. The new device features a 13.3-inch touchscreen display. It utilizes a Full HD panel with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The screen lid can be rotated 360 degrees to switch the device to tablet mode. The maximum configuration includes an Intel Core i7-8665U processor. This chip […]
Recently, many organizations are moving their applications from monoliths to microservices using 'Platform as a Service' (PaaS) such as RedHat OpenShift v3, and AppDynamics has made significant investments to ensure top-notch integration with such providers. AppDynamics integrates its agents with RedHat OpenShift v3 using Source-to-Image (S2I) methodologies. S2I is a tool for building reproducible […]
Introduction At the end of March, we reported that we discovered a hidden capability for uploading and running unverified code in UC Browser. Today, we'll detail how this upload occurs and how hackers can exploit it for their purposes. Some time ago, UC Browser was marketed and distributed very aggressively: it was installed on users' devices via malware, distributed with […]
Defining DevOps is quite complex, which is why discussions about it tend to resurface continually. On Habr alone, there are thousands of publications on this topic. But if you're reading this, you likely know what DevOps is. Because I don’t. Hi, my name is Alexander Titov (@osminog), and we will just talk about DevOps, and I'll share my experiences. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make my story useful, so there will be many questions here—those […]
Network latency significantly affects the performance of applications or services that interact with the network. The lower the latency, the higher the performance. This is true for any network service, ranging from a regular website to a database or network storage. A good example is the Domain Name System (DNS). DNS is inherently a distributed system, with root nodes scattered […]
Once, I faced the task of granting one of my clients the right to edit PTR records for the given /28 subnet. I don't have automation for editing BIND settings externally. So I decided to take a different approach—delegate a piece of the PTR zone of the /24 subnet to the client. It seemed simple enough—just set the subnet correctly and point to the desired […]
In one of our previous articles regarding infrastructure planning when deploying the Zimbra Collaboration Suite in enterprises, it was mentioned that the primary limitation when operating this solution is the read/write speed of disk devices in mail storage systems. Indeed, at a time when several hundred employees are simultaneously accessing the same mail storage, the bandwidth for […]
TP-Link has released the Deco W2400 system, designed to deploy a Wi-Fi network in a large private house or apartment. The kit includes two routers. It is claimed that they can cover an area of up to 280 square meters with a quality Wi-Fi signal. If needed, the system can be supplemented with additional routers. The devices can operate in two frequency bands — 2.4 GHz and […]
