Specific drives favored by some high profile organizations like the Internet Archive have become far more expensive or are difficult to find at all, archivists said. Over the last several months, prices for both consumer level.

VMkatz: скрытая угроза для виртуальной инфраструктуры

В 2026 году был опубликован инструмент VMkatz. По функционалу он напоминает широко известный инструмент Mimikatz, но, в отличие от него, целью VMkatz является извлечение учетных данных напрямую из файлов виртуальных машин (снимков памяти и виртуальных дисков) без необходимости входа внутрь гостевых Windows-систем. VMkatz может работать с файлами виртуальных машин разных платформ, включая VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, VirtualBox и QEMU/KVM. Читать далее Read more

Как я сделал аналог Hamachi для геймеров: история PortPlay

Привет, Хабр! Когда я был мелкий и трава зеленее, провайдеры всегда выдавали не белый, а «серый» адрес.

Dragon Age creator reckons the series is dead following Veilguard flop, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have another go at it if given the chance

Following the poor commercial performance of 2024's Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Dragon Age creator David Gaider has said he believes developer BioWare's beloved fantasy RPG series is likely dead. But if some twist of fate ever meant he had the opportunity to work on a new one - despite no longer being at BioWare - he'd be interested in taking it in a "dark and dangerous" direction, and do with...

Контекстная инженерия: что это такое, как работать с контекстом и почему за это начали платить

Вы собрали диалоговую систему — агента с RAG, инструментами и памятью. На коротких диалогах всё работает: модель выбирает нужный инструмент и достаёт данные. Но через несколько десятков итераций агент уже путает инструменты, тянет в ответ старые вызовы и опирается на ошибку, которая раньше попала в контекст.Новый промпт не всегда решает проблему: важно управлять тем, какая информация попадает к модели перед каждым следующим шагом.
