Cybersecurity experts have discovered a new vulnerability in Intel chips that can be exploited to steal confidential information directly from the processor. Researchers have named it 'ZombieLoad'. ZombieLoad is a side-channel attack targeting Intel chips, allowing hackers to effectively exploit a flaw in their architecture to gain arbitrary data, but it does not allow for injection and […]
I want to discuss how to securely store SSH keys on your local machine without fearing that some application might steal or decrypt them. This article will be helpful for those who haven't found an elegant solution since the paranoia of 2018 and continue to store keys in $HOME/.ssh. To address this issue, I propose using KeePassXC, which is one of the best managers […]
On January 29, the technical committee of the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), which is behind Kubernetes, Prometheus, and other Open Source products from the container and cloud native realm, announced the acceptance of the Rook project into its ranks. This is a great opportunity to get to know this 'orchestrator of distributed data storage systems in Kubernetes' better. What is Rook? Rook is written in Go and […]
Another six months have passed, and the Repology project, which regularly collects and compares information about package versions across numerous repositories, has published its latest report. The number of supported repositories has surpassed 230. Support has been added for BunsenLabs, Pisi, Salix, Solus, T2 SDE, Void Linux, ELRepo, Mer Project, GNU Elpa, and MELPA package repositories, MSYS2 (msys2, mingw), and a set of extended OpenSUSE repositories.

Good day, esteemed Habr users and portal guests! Recently, I had the need to set up a small server for video conferencing. There weren't many options considered — BBB and Openmeetings, as only they met the functional requirements: Free desktop and document sharing, etc. Interactive work with users (shared whiteboard, chat, etc.) No additional software installation required […]
This post outlines the steps for automating SSL certificate management from Let's Encrypt CA using the DNS-01 challenge and AWS. acme-dns-route53 is a tool that will allow us to implement this feature. It can work with SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt, store them in Amazon Certificate Manager, use Route53 API to implement the DNS-01 challenge, and, finally, push notifications to […]
Today, a Russian-language replica of the open-source social network 'HumHub' has launched on the I2P network. You can connect to the network in two ways — either by using I2P or through the clearnet. You can also use the nearest provider 'Medium' for connection. Source: habr.com
People around the world use commercial proxies to hide their true location or identity. This can be done for various tasks, including accessing blocked information or ensuring privacy. But how accurate are the providers of such proxies when they claim their servers are located in a specific country? This is a crucial question, the answer to which lies in […]
Modern data centers are reliable; however, any equipment can break down from time to time. In this brief note, we have compiled the most significant incidents of 2018. The impact of digital technologies on the economy is growing, the volumes of processed information are increasing, new facilities are being built, and this is good as long as everything works. Unfortunately, the impact of data center failures on the economy has also been increasing since people started […]
Intel has published information about a new class of vulnerabilities in its processors — MDS (Microarchitectural Data Sampling). Like previous Spectre-class attacks, these new issues can lead to the leakage of sensitive data from the operating system, virtual machines, and foreign processes. It is claimed that the problems were first identified by Intel employees and partners during an internal audit, after which the information was provided […]
The quality of a wireless network is inherently included in the concept of service level. And if you want to meet the high demands of customers, you need not only to quickly address emerging network issues but also to anticipate the most common ones. How to achieve this? Only by tracking what is truly important in this context — user interaction with the wireless network. Network loads continue to […]
My name is Dmitry, and I work as a tester at MEL Science. I recently finished exploring a relatively new feature from Firebase Test Lab — specifically, instrumental testing of iOS applications using the native testing framework XCUITest. Before this, I had already tried Firebase Test Lab for Android, and I liked it very much, so I […]
