ShadowTLS: прячем туннель за TLS-рукопожатием

Как протокол заимствует чужое рукопожатие, почему v1 и v2 были дырявыми, что именно в v3 нашёл Aparecium и где у этого подхода архитектурный потолокБольшинство прокси-протоколов пытаются выглядеть как HTTPS: генерируют свой сертификат, настраивают TLS, надеются что DPI не присмотрится слишком внимательно. ShadowTLS идёт другим путём — берёт чужое рукопожатие целиком, не подделывая ничегоПока TLS-рукопожатие идёт, всё что видит анализатор трафика — честный ClientHello, честный ServerHello, честный сертификат Read more

AIO LED-экраны: когда «телевизор» на 165 дюймов выгоднее видеостены и проектора? Опыт инсталляций и подводные камни

Привет, Хабр! Вот уже как 20 лет мы создаем среды для коммуникации: переговорные, ситуационные центры и многофункциональные залы — там, где важно быстро показать информацию, обсудить её и принять решение. И почти всегда «узкое горлышко» таких помещений — средство отображения: от него зависит, будет ли видно данные при включённом свете, читается ли мелкий текст с дальних рядов и сколько времени уйдёт на обслуживание.

NullClaw под лупой: зачем AI-агенту Zig, маленький бинарь и быстрый запуск

Когда смотришь на современные AI-агенты, быстро замечаешь одну общую черту: почти все они живут на тяжелом стеке. Где-то это Node.js, где-то Python, где-то длинная цепочка зависимостей, сервисов и фоновых процессов. На этом фоне nullClaw выглядит почти инородно: один бинарный файл, Zig, быстрый запуск, мало занимаемой памяти и минимум лишнего.Для этой статьи я смотрел nullClaw в состоянии v2026.3.13-1-g78366e9. Для сравнения я отдельно прогнал те же сценарии на свежем npm-релизе OpenClaw 2026.3.12.Сразу... Read more
