Антивирусы в Linux, хоть и обитают в основном на серверах, перестали быть диковинкой. И, в отличие от Windows, не сращиваются с операционной системой, а работают как отдельностоящие программы с невысокими привилегиями. Подход со сканированием в «песочнице» напрашивается сам собой. А Qubes OS, наряду с Docker-контейнерами и полновесными виртуальными машинами, подходит для этого очень хорошо. Играть в кубики Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Techdirt: Earlier this year Nieman Lab broke the story that major news publishers, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and USA Today Co., had started blocking the Internet Archive for fear that AI companies might scrape the nonprofit's repositories for training data. As one of the last bastions of archival history, that is, in case you're not aware, not very good for... Read more ›

TechCrunch reports: The deal is similar in... Read more ›

A security researcher says evidence suggests the U.S. military has been using an obscure GPS message field for nearly 20 years to broadcast encrypted key-distribution data, effectively turning GPS satellites into a global "numbers station." The hidden-looking 176-bit messages appear tied to the Pentagon's Over-the-Air Distribution system for remotely updating cryptographic keys, meaning ordinary GPS receivers may have been receiving the traffic all along without anyone outside the military noticing....
