Memory safety issues are still one of the most pervasive challenges in modern computing. Adam Zabrocki will discuss why they matter and present promising solutions like memory-safe languages and hardware-based techniques. Don’t miss it! 🎟️ bit.ly/25thCONFidence

Looks like this Timesys is now Lynx! Corporation did an amazing job [SARCASM] selling their Timesys Kernel Hardening Analysis Tool that simply provides the recommendations from my open source project kernel-hardening-checker. They don't even mention kernel-hardening-checker. Shame on them👎

Thank you RISC-V International for appreciating my work on improving RISC-V ecosystem, what a nice surprise :) Pointer Masking (HWASAN) is there, HW CFI is there, next step - HW Memory Tagging (MTE) is coming! :)

Together with Alex Tereshkin we managed to summarize NVIDIA Offensive Security Research (OSR) work on breaking BMC (reference to our DefCon talk youtube.com/watch?v=dbJQIQ…). This blog post also includes a link to the full paper.

[plz RT for range] A soft DEADLINE for article submissions for Issue #7 of Paged Out! has been set: 30 June 2025 We're looking for articles on literally everything that's computer related, technical, and nerdy. As always: 1 page limit :) More info: pagedout.institute

Here's a link to the NVIDIA Data Center Offensive Security Team's research on BMC security resources.nvidia.com/en-us-security… Shoutout to Alex Tereshkin and Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki for this awesome research, and thanks for citing Eclypsium in the footnotes!

Nvidia OSR (Alex Tereshkin, Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki) reveals high-impact Supermicro BMC vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-10237/38/39). Binarly REsearch documenting the details: 👻Ghost in the Controller: Abusing Supermicro BMC Firmware Verification. Read the full story: binarly.io/blog/ghost-in-…

Forgot to mentioned that our talk "How to secure unique ecosystem shipping 1 billion+ cores?" has been accepted to DEF CON #defcon33 as well! defcon.org/html/defcon-33…

At #NullconBerlin2025, Solar Designer will walk us through the journey from LKRG’s edgy debut to its 1.0 release – complete with real-world attacks, trade-offs, nasty bugs, & some honest truths about kernel hardening. Know More: nullcon.net/berlin-2025/sp… #LKRG #LinuxSecurity

What happens when attackers reach your Linux kernel? The Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG) continuously monitors kernel integrity in real-time, detecting exploits as they happen - including zero-days that other security measures miss. Key features: • Runtime integrity

Turns out that Phrack Zine coins for authors are actually pretty cool :) Cc: Richard Johnson
