openSUSE Project’s 20th anniversary by sharing some of their favorite moments from the past two decades. Over the years, it has grown into a global movement, powering desktops, servers and development environments across the open source world. To celebrate the project’s vibrant history, we are collecting photos from across the globe that capture the spirit of the project from conferences and hackathons to community meetups, swag collections and personal milestones. Members are encouraged to submit up to 20 images drop file. Submissions will be used in presentations showcasing the 20th anniversary and shared amongst members of the community. People are encouraged to celebrate something in their town or locally and share their photos to news and presentations. Community members are encouraged to present the 20-year history of the project at conferences and summits. A presentation using the images will be made available on the openSUSE Wiki.

Even though I had to bring up my nuc upstairs for a brief moment because I made a typo, I was eventually able to run the installer entirely over SSH. In this post I will go over the process I used to make it happen. * ⚓ Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Steinar_H._Gunderson:_Superimposed_codes,_take two⠀⇛ After my last_post on superimposed codes, I discovered that OEIS already had a sequence for it (I had just missed it due to a slightly different convention), namely A286874 (and its sister sequence A303977, which lists the number of distinct maximal solutions). However, very few terms of this sequence were known; in particular, it was known that a(12) >= 20 (easily proved by simply demonstrating a set of twenty 12-bit numbers with the desired property), but it wasn't known if the value could be higher (i.e., whether there existed a 12-bit set with 21 elements or more). The SAT solver wasn't really working well for this anymore, so I thought; can I just bruteforce it? I.e., can I enumerate all 12-bit 20-element sets and then see if any of them have room for a 21st element? * ⚓ Help Net Security ☛ ParrotOS_6.4_lands_with_key_tool_updates_and_kernel upgrade⠀⇛ ParrotOS, known for its emphasis on security, privacy, and development, is widely used by cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts alike. Version 6.4 delivers a host of updates and community-driven enhancements.

Ubuntu — While there are a couple of caveats to how this auto-mode gets triggered, it’s an option that fits the USP of this extension extremely well. After all, it’s about getting the main panel out of your way, so having it vamoose without manual input is key to that. To recap, the Floating Mini Panel extension replaces the full-width panel on the GNOME Shell desktop with a super compact, freely moveable and always-on-top mini panel. It only shows the Date menu and Quick Settings (no other tray icons or applets) so you aren’t distracted. It’s toggleble; the idea is you enable mini-mode as and when you need it (such as when working full-screen) to provide an HUD-esque alternative to hiding the top panel entirely. It can be temporarily hidden by right-clicking the grab handle. While it is not the kind of GNOME Shell UX add-on designed to appeal to everyone, for those with workflows it suits, it’s golden.

However, it has been brought to our attention that, if we were to release on July 4th, people in some vague country overseas might not be paying attention. Moreover, releasing on Fridays tends to be generally frowned upon those days, so even though we had planned everything for a July 4th release, we eventually decided to wait for the next Monday. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ RIPE ☛ PQC_for_the_RPKI⠀⇛ Future capabilities of quantum attackers will present a host of new vulnerabilities for RPKI.

FireWire was first introduced with the “Blue and White” Power Mac G3 back in 1999. This is mine, a machine I used way back at my high school job. It now lives in my studio: [...] o ⚓ Pete Brown ☛ If_you_are_able,_use_the_tools_you’ve_got.⠀⇛ First we have the conflation of a very specific product (in this case, Pocket) with a whole category of services. We have seen this pattern before… some company markets themselves and their product as the place to get or do some thing, a bunch of people fall for it, and then when the company inevitably pivots to a different business, kills the product, or goes belly-up, all these people then start shouting about how they can no longer do or get this thing anymore. In some cases—search is a good example—that is true, but mostly it is not. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 500 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Games_Godot_FEX_and_Lossless_Scaling_Frame_Generation.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Games_Godot_FEX_and_Lossless_Scaling_Frame_Generation.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Godot, FEX, and Lossless Scaling Frame Generation⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 09, 2025 * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Dev_snapshot:_Godot_4.5_beta_3⠀⇛ Gotta go fast! * ⚓ FEX ☛ FEX_2507_Tagged⠀⇛ This month it was brought to our attention that the game Horizon Zero Dawn was running in slow-motion. Even though the FPS was relatively stable, the physics were all running at about a third of the speed! This turned out to be a pretty silly bug. WINE fills a registry key with the frequency of the cycle counter, but it first determines if the RDTSC is “reliable”. FEX was failing this reliability check which causes WINE to fall back to the maximum clock speed of the CPU. HZD would then use this value for the speed of its animations! A modern CPU can run its CPU at more than 3Ghz, while cycle counters on both ARM and x86 don’t go anywhere near as high! We fixed WINE’s “reliability” check inside of FEX, which means the registry key is filled correctly and the game now runs its animations at the correct speed. This does mean that WINE technically still has a bug where if RDTSC is ever described as “unreliable” then you can end up with something up to 6Ghz in that registry key, which is incorrect but will reproduce this bug even without emulation playing a role. As a side-note, ARM64ec WINE still isn’t fixed with this so the game will still have weird issues there under emulation.

Developed by PancakeTAS, lsfg-vk utilizes Vulkan and the DXVK translation layer to bring the frame generation feature of the paid Windows application to Linux desktops and handheld devices, such as the Steam Deck. Until now, Linux gamers relied on FidelityFX Super Resolution frame generation only in titles where it was natively available. The lsfg‑vk promises to extend artificial intermediate frames to nearly any game. Rather than depend on in‑game integration, lsfg‑vk intercepts DirectX 11 calls and reimplements the Lossless Scaling pipeline on top of Vulkan. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 579 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Games_Rhythm_of_Resistance_Bazzite_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Games_Rhythm_of_Resistance_Bazzite_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Rhythm of Resistance, Bazzite, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 09, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Rhythm_of_Resistance_is_the_"world's_first"_rhythm metroidvania⠀⇛ I'm not entirely sure if their announcement of it being the "world's first" truly holds up, but I can't say I've seen anything like Rhythm of Resistance. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_big_Diplomacy_Update_for_X4:_Foundations_is_now_in Beta⠀⇛ The Diplomacy Update for X4: Foundations is now in Beta bringing some huge new features to the popular space sim.

As I reported earlier, the packagers were having trouble with the program, but put the appimage in the repo. I decided not to review it until their problems were resolved. My preference only. With the release of version 3.0.4, we have it in the repo rather than an appimage, and I can review some of the new features and fixes. I used the following sites in my exploration: librearts.org, the GIMP Manual, and creativeblog.com. New Welcome Screen GIMP has always opened onto your program window, ready to start a project, or onto whatever you opened to work on. Now it has a welcome screen consisting of five tabs: Welcome has the splash screen (ours is one for PCLOS) and several helpful links. Personalize has some of the basic edits for appearance, so you can get started right away. Contribute has links to help you contribute to development. Create has a list of your recent projects, a “Create New Image” button and an “Open Existing Image” button. It also has a checkbox at the bottom to turn off the welcome screen if desired. Release Notes lists some of the new features, with a “flash” effect on some that will show you where they are (not included below).

Gradually, Wayland support matured and improvements were implemented, and now I'm using nothing but Wayland on all my Linux PCs.

This means that they run in a privileged mode in the Windows operating system, making it unlikely and in some cases impossible to detect via Anti-Cheat in the game client."

Such computers exist, but not all of them are created equal. I've tested plenty of these tiny form-factor PCs, and a lot of them might be cute, but they lack any semblance of power to do much.

And while tons of distros might make you feel at home on Linux right from the get-go, Linux Mint is the best one. The first difference you'll notice when switching to Linux Mint is far better performance, at least when navigating the OS. Linux Mint runs faster than Windows in almost every scenario; the significantly less overhead on your system hardware means you've got more room to run resource-heavy programs, leading to an overall boost in performance.

Now, if you didn’t already know, he hosted PCLinuxOS, the forum, the magazine, PCLOS-Cloud, PCLOS- Talk, pclosmail, the PCLinuxOS Wiki, and ImagStor on servers in his house. His house experienced a significant amount of water and smoke damage. He lost his servers. He lost all of his cameras and lenses. He and his dog were able to get out without injury, but the fire brought almost everything related to PCLinuxOS crumbling down. I got an email from YCT/TCZ to tell us what had happened. The ONLY thing I could initially find still up and running was the PCLOS Debian forum, so I headed over there. I made an announcement over there about the magazine site, mentioning that all of the other “services” that were being handled by his servers were also down. Within about a day or so, Texstar set up a temporary forum for PCLinuxOS users.

If you go too slowly, nothing gets shipped. I have not mastered this tension, but I’ll share a few lessons I’ve learned. This post focuses on being a developer on a small team, maintaining software over multiple years. It doesn’t focus on creating quick prototypes.

Sometimes this was done through an actual lever on the typewriter, later models had a button. Because this action — the carriage return — was distinct from the line feed, it has its own character. In ASCII this is the character known as "Carriage Return", represented as "␍", character number 13. The "↵" icon, as often seen on the "Enter" or "Return" key on a modern keyboard encodes this action, along with the action of moving to the next line, known as "Line Feed" (␊). * ⚓ Artyom Bologov ☛ Why_I_Am_Stupid⠀⇛ I am a grug-brained developer. I prefer simple solutions over complex ones. I also do hard things and involved architectures sometimes. But overall, I keep things stupid simple. I have to aim for stupid if I want to be understood. The next reader might be overwhelmed, tired, or in a rush. No monads, no hexagons, no spooky actions at a distance. Basic code, obvious program flow, spelled out actions. State, if need be. Imperative code, if it’s necessary. Deeply nested blocks, if the logic is ugly. Nothing a stupid programmer like me wouldn’t understand. * ⚓ Andy_Wingo:_guile_lab_notebook:_on_the_move!⠀⇛ Hey, a quick update, then a little story. The big news is that I got Guile wired to a moving_garbage_collector! Specifically, this is the mostly-moving collector with conservative stack scanning. Most collections will be marked in place. When the collector wants to compact, it will scan ambiguous roots in the beginning of the collection cycle, marking objects referenced by such roots in place. Then the collector will select some blocks for evacuation, and when visiting an object in those blocks, it will try to copy the object to one of the evacuation target blocks that are held in reserve. If the collector runs out of space in the evacuation reserve, it falls back to marking in place. * ⚓ Stuart_Langridge:_Making_a_Discord_activity_with_PHP⠀⇛ Another post in what is slowly becoming a series, after describing how_to_make_a_Discord_bot_with_PHP; today we're looking at how to make a Discord activity the same way. An activity is simpler than a bot; Discord activities are basically a web page which loads in an iframe, and can do what it likes in there. You're supposed to use them for games and the like, but I suspect that it might be useful to do quite a few bot-like tasks with activities instead; they take up more of your screen while you're using them, but it's much, much easier to create a user-friendly experience with an activity than it is with a bot. The user interface for bots tends to look a lot like the command line, which appeals to nerds, but having to type !mybot -opt 1 -opt 2 is incomprehensible gibberish to real people. Build a little web UI, you know it makes sense. Anyway, I have not yet actually published one of these activities, and I suspect that there is a whole bunch of complexity around that which I'm not going to get into yet. So this will get you up and running with a Discord activity that you can test, yourself. Making it available to others is step 2: keep an eye out for a post on that. There are lots of "frameworks" out there for building Discord activities, most of which are all about "use React!" and "have this complicated build environment!" and "deploy a node.js server!", when all you actually need is an SPA web page1, a JS library, a small PHP file, and that's it. No build step required, no deploying a node.js server, just host it in any web space that does PHP (i.e., all of them). Keep it simple, folks. Much nicer. * ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Uiua_is_a_general_purpose_array-oriented_programming language⠀⇛ Uiua is a general purpose array-oriented programming language with a focus on simplicity, beauty, and tacit code. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Specialized_R_packages_for_spatial_cross-validation: sperrorest_and_blockCV⠀⇛ This document provides an overview of two R packages, sperrorest and blockCV, that can be used for spatial cross validation, but are outside of standard machine learning frameworks like caret, tidymodels, or mlr3.

This Pakistan-based group is targeting systems running BOSS Linux (Bharat Operating System Solutions), an Indian Linux distribution based on Debian commonly used by Indian government agencies. This shows a new step in their attacks since they’re now using malicious software designed specifically for Linux environments. This threat was reported by cybersecurity firm Cyfirma, and the findings were shared with Hackread.com. Cyfirma researchers first observed this new attack on June 7, 2025. As per their research, the attackers are employing cunning phishing emails to trick their targets. These emails come with a compressed file, typically an archived ZIP file “Cyber-Security-Advisory.zip,” which contains a harmful ‘.desktop’ file– essentially a shortcut used in Linux systems. * ⚓ CSO ☛ How_a_12-year-old_bug_in_Sudo_is_still_haunting_Linux_users [Ed: They make it sound like this has been exploited before its discovery and for over a decade]⠀⇛ Two new vulnerabilities have been found in Sudo, a privileged command-line tool installed on Linux systems, that can allow privilege escalation and unintended command execution on affected Ubuntu and Debian systems.

In this article, we use data collected from NETSCOUT honeypots, which are systems designed to capture unsolicited Internet traffic, to examine TCP SYN segments. By focusing on packet headers, as network routers typically do, we explore trends in source addresses, IPv4 time-to-live (TTL) values, and TCP header lengths. This narrow perspective demonstrates how even limited packet data can yield actionable intelligence without delving into payloads or complex attack patterns. * ⚓ Vermaden ☛ Crucial_FreeBSD_Toolkit⠀⇛ While FreeBSD is similar in many concepts to other UNIX systems or to Linux – its good to know exact commands and solutions for various needs. Today I would like to share all of them – after using FreeBSD for about 20 years – both privately and professionally. The Table of Contents looks as follows. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Linux_'exportfs_-r'_stops_on_errors_(well, problems)⠀⇛ Although it's not documented and not explicit in 'exportfs -v - r' (which will claim to be 'exporting ...' for various things), I have an important safety tip which I discovered today: exportfs does nothing on a re-export if you have any problems in your exports. In particular, if any single file in /etc/ exports.d has a problem, no files from /etc/exports.d get processed and no exports are updated. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Systemd_user_units,_user_sessions,_and environment_variables⠀⇛ A variety of things in typical graphical desktop sessions communicate through the use of environment variables; for example, X's $DISPLAY environment variable. Somewhat famously, modern desktops run a lot of things as systemd user units, and it might be nice to do that yourself (cf). When you put these two facts together, you wind up with a question, namely how the environment works in systemd user units and what problems you're going to run into. * ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Typst_Cookbook:_Part_Three⠀⇛ The first printed books, or incunabula (from the Latin word incunabulum ['cradle' or 'swaddling clothes', hence 'beginning']), did not have title pages. The text simply begins on the first page, and the book is often identified by the initial words—the incipit (from the verb incipere ['to begin'])—of the text proper. Other older books may have bibliographic information in the colophon (derived from the Greek word κολοφών ['summit' or 'finishing touch']) at the end of the book. Early printers produced the pages of a text: the text block. The text block was sold unbound, as a stack of pages. Since print shops were physically demanding, messy environments, the first page of a text block often became scuffed. Printers began making cover pages with some basic identifying information, for convenience and protection of the actual pages. This cover page gradually evolved into a full title page with publication details as well as the author and title. * ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Wiki_Pick:_Restore_Grub2⠀⇛ Your bootloader may end up corrupt or overwritten by another operating system due to many factors such as user error, power loss or malware etc. In such situations, you may find yourself in search of a way to restore your bootloader to a state in which it will normally load your favorite PCLinuxOS. To fix or restore the GRUB2 bootloader on your PCLinuxOS system you will need to boot a recent PCLinuxOS LiveOS then you can choose one of the 2 methods below depending on whether you prefer using the command-line or graphical user interface. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2505 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Ubuntu_Pro_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Ubuntu_Pro_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu Pro, Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 09, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ What_our_users_make_with_Ubuntu_Pro_–_Episode_1⠀⇛ * ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_899⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 899 for the week of June 29 – July 5, 2025. The full version of this issue is available here. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_tweaks_and_apps_that_helped_me_appreciate_Ubuntu_as_a_lifelong Windows_user⠀⇛ Recently, I started using Ubuntu as my primary operating system as I'm currently reviewing a mini PC running it. Until just a few months ago, I could never imagine switching away from Windows 11, but now I'm not only using macOS as my main operating system most of the time, but I've been diving more and more into Linux. But while I've been having a good time, there's always some pain during the transition away from Windows. Not every app is available, and a lot of OS features and behaviors aren't the same, so it takes some time to adjust. I already wrote about some of the apps that made my transition to macOS easier, but now, it's time to do the same for Ubuntu. Let's go over a few things that have made my experience a lot more pleasant — they might help you if you're looking to make the switch, too. * ⚓ RISC-V_Ecosystem_Gets_More_Standardization_as_Ubuntu_Drops_Non- Compliant_CPUs⠀⇛ Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has announced that its next-generation release will require RISC‑V processors to meet the newly ratified RVA23 profile. This specification, approved back in April, includes full support for Vector Instructions 1.0 and a Hypervisor extension. As Laurine Kirk, security researcher at Google, notes, by setting this higher baseline, Ubuntu 26.04 will no longer run on roughly 90% of existing RISC-V single-board computers, including the popular Raspberry Pi-style boards, unless their hardware is upgraded. Canonical's move puts it in step with Google and Microsoft, both of which have already targeted RVA23 for their RISC‑V builds. This change will drive manufacturers to ship more secure, future- proof silicon, helping to guard against exploits like GhostWrite, a memory-access vulnerability discovered last year in T-Head's XuanTie C910 CPUs. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2576 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Web_Browsers_Curl_Chrom_and_Mozilla_Firefox.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Web_Browsers_Curl_Chrom_and_Mozilla_Firefox.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers: Curl, Chrom*, and Mozilla/ Firefox⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 09, 2025 * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ keeping_tabs_on_curl’s_memory_use⠀⇛ In the curl project we make an concerned effort to keep memory use and allocations to a minimum and we are proud of our work. But we also continuously try to encourage and involve more contributors and it is easy to sometimes slip and do something in the code that maybe is not the wisest idea – memory wise. o § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Google ☛ Introducing_Skia_Graphite:_Chrome's_rasterization backend_for_the_future⠀⇛ Today's The Fast and the Curious post covers the launch of Skia's new rasterization backend, Graphite, in Chrome on Fashion Company Apple Silicon Macs. Graphite is instrumental in helping Chrome achieve exceptional scores on Motionmark 1.3 and is key to unlocking a ton of future improvements in Chrome Graphics. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Tiffanie_Barriere_browses_like_she_bartends_(with soul,_sass_and_a_splash_of_magic)⠀⇛ Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we know the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for human connection, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. We all have an internet story worth sharing. In My Corner Of The Internet, we talk with people about the online spaces they can’t get enough of, the sites and forums that shaped them, and how they would design their own corner of the web. # ⚓ Matt Cool ☛ My_Favorite_Firefox_Features⠀⇛ Long before I started working with Mozilla, Firefox was my preferred browser for personal browsing. Why? A lot of it comes down to trust, transparency, and customizability. I have a lot more faith in a nonprofit dedicated to internet health than enormous companies with profit-driven shareholders to please. # ⚓ Jarrod Blundy ☛ Pouring_One_Out_for_Pocket⠀⇛ I’ve exported all my saves, which turned out to be a list of nearly 15,000 URLs split across two CSV files. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Firefox_is_fine._The_people_running_it are_not⠀⇛ It is very rare for an article on The Register to cause friends of mine to contact me and anxiously ask if they should change their choice of tech, but SJVN's recent column, "Firefox is dead to me," did it. I am not here to shoot the messenger. Steven's core point is correct. Firefox is in a bit of a mess – but, seriously, not such a bad mess. You're still better off with it – or one of its forks, because this is FOSS – than pretty much any of the alternatives. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2678 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Windows_TCO_Tales.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/09/Windows_TCO_Tales.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO Tales⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 09, 2025 * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Silverfort_uncovers_critical_Netlogon_flaw_affecting backdoored_Windows_domain_controllers⠀⇛ A new report out today from unified identity security company Silverfort Inc. details a previously undisclosed denial-of-service vulnerability in Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Corp.’s Netlogon protocol that could allow low-privilege machines to crash backdoored Windows domain controllers remotely, disrupting core Active Directory services. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Microsoft_Patch_Tuesday,_July_2025,_(Tue,_Jul_8th)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Microsoft_Patches_130_Vulnerabilities_for_July_2025 Patch_Tuesday⠀⇛ Patch Tuesday July 2025: Abusive Monopolist Microsoft rolled out fixes for 130 vulnerabilities, including a zero-day in SQL Server. * ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ How_to_conduct_a_Password_Audit_in_Active_Directory (AD)⠀⇛ Weak or compromised passwords are still one of the most common ways attackers get into an organisation’s network. That’s why running password audits in Active Directory is so important. But smaller companies often don’t have the time, budget, or resources to do them regularly. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Italian_authorities_arrest_Chinese_man_over_Abusive Monopolist_Microsoft_Exchange_Server_hack,_targeting_of_COVID-19 researchers⠀⇛ The arrest came at the request of the United States, which hailed the development as a sign that patience in pursuing cybercriminals in court is rewarded. * ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Bert_Blitzes_Linux_&_Windows_Systems [Ed: PowerShell is Windows]⠀⇛ Bert's troubling effectiveness, according to Trend Micro researchers, has little to do with code sophistication. Rather, it is all about "streamlined attack execution and evasion" with an otherwise unremarkable codebase, the researchers said in a report this week. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2751 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
