uBlock Origin now includes script blocking for scanning network ports.

The EasyPrivacy filter used in uBlock Origin has been updated with rules to block common network port scanning scripts on the user's local system.

Check Point R80.10 API. Management through CLI, scripts, and more

I'm sure that everyone who has ever worked with Check Point has had a complaint about the inability to edit the configuration from the command line. This is particularly outrageous for those who have previously worked with Cisco ASA, where almost everything can be configured in CLI. With Check Point, it’s the opposite — all security settings were exclusively done through the graphical interface. However, some […]

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was cracked on release day, but the collection wasn't particularly protected.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was released on June 5 for PC (Steam and Origin) and appeared on piracy sites the same day. The notorious hacking group CODEX is responsible for the breach of the remastered collection.

It was equipped with the standard DRM protection of the Steam service, which […]

A referral code substitution has been discovered in the Brave browser when opening certain websites.

The Brave web browser has revealed the substitution of referral links when trying to open certain websites by entering their domain in the address bar (the links remain unchanged on open pages). For example, when entering "binance.com" in the address bar, the autocomplete system automatically adds the referral link "binance.com/en?ref=35089877" to the domain. Similar behavior has been observed for domains such as coinbase.com, binance.us, ledger.com, and trezor.io. Such actions were […]

Micro Data Center: Why Are Miniature Data Centers Needed?

Two years ago, we realized something important: clients are increasingly interested in small forms and low kilowatts, so we launched a new line of products – mini and micro data centers. Essentially, we have placed the 'brains' of a full-fledged data center in a small cabinet. Like full-fledged data centers, they are equipped with all necessary engineering systems, including power supply components, […]
