Looks like a neat little tool in the Mac ecosystem. It seems to make sandboxing easy despite a couple of caveats.
I've always been fascinated by steganography. It's a good reminder that the basics are fairly simple.
Bluetooth might be convenient, clearly it leads to metadata leakage though.
Didn't know about sorting networks. They have interesting properties and are definitely good options on modern hardware.
Oh this is bad! The amount of data exfiltrated by those malicious extensions. Data brokers will do anything they can to have something to resell. This is also a security and corporate espionage hazard.
Accidents can happen in life. This might come in handy if you loose memory for some reason. It requires planning ahead though.
Very in depth review of the mess of a Matrix home server vide coded at Cloudflare... all the way to the blog announcing it. Unsurprisingly this didn't go well and they had to cover their tracks several times. The response from the Matrix foundation is a bit underwhelming, it's one thing to be welcoming, it's another to turn a blind eye to such obvious failures. This doesn't reflect well on both Cloudflare and the Matrix Foundation I'm afraid.
Are we surprised? Of course not... As soon as you backup the keys on someone else's server BitLocker can't do anything to ensure privacy.
Are you sure you want to trust that random project you got provided with? Really?
New packaging ecosystems bring their new attack vectors. This is definitely a teething problem which will need to be addressed soon.
Friendly reminder that securing APIs and secrets is a must. Not doing so can have really bad consequences.
If you needed a reminder about why you can't trust WhatsApp, this is a good explanation.
There are growing concerns regarding the Rust supply chain. It's still time to address them but it's became important to tackle this area.
What's the right way to manipulate secrets in your shell to avoid leakage? The answer definitely varies, here is the paranoid version.
Email encryption is indeed still an open issue. There's no fix in sight for it. It's mostly a lack of political will though, so none of the big players are going to change anything.
This looms like a handy help to check your email client is doing the right thing and is not leaking information.
This is definitely a bad one, there seem to be quite a few popular devices affected. And there might be more devices affected of course.
Interesting tool. Indeed very often people send PDFs with useless redaction in them. Better check first.
Always hated this notarization with a passion when I had to target Macs... One reason being that it felt fairly useless, and it's confirmed: it is pretty much useless.
An oldie now but still the best way to create a passphrase.
