  1. AI znalazło lukę w macOS – dlaczego Mac nigdy nie będzie tak bezpieczny jak iOS?

    Firma Anthropic i badacze z firmy Calif użyli modelu AI Claude Mythos, żeby znaleźć nową lukę w macOS. Przy okazji Jason Snell z Six Colors tłumaczy, jak Apple od lat zaciska ochronę Maca, nie rezygnując z jego otwartości.

    AI znalazło lukę, zanim zrobili to złoczyńcy

    Jak informuje MacRumors na podstawie „The Wall Street Journal”, badacze z firmy cyberbezpieczeństwa Calif użyli modelu Claude Mythos Preview — najnowszego modelu Anthropic — do odkrycia nowej luki w macOS. Konkretnie: model pomógł napisać kod łączący dwie istniejące podatności systemowe w taki sposób, że powstał z nich exploit klasy privilege escalation, czyli umożliwiający nieuprawnione podwyższenie uprawnień w systemie.

    <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-1„>Żeby zrozumieć, dlaczego to istotne, trzeba wiedzieć, czym jest Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE). To opracowany przez Apple sprzętowy system bezpieczeństwa pamięci, zbudowany na bazie specyfikacji Arm Memory Tagging Extension z 2019 roku. W skrócie: każdy blok pamięci otrzymuje tajny znacznik, a hardware weryfikuje, czy każde odwołanie do pamięci zawiera właściwy znacznik. Jeśli nie — aplikacja się zawiesza. Apple rozwijało MIE przez pięć lat i wdrożyło go w iPhone’ach 17 i iPhone Air, a następnie rozszerzyło na MacBooki z M5.

    <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-1„>Calif obeszło tę ochronę na M5 w pięć dni. Bruce Dang znalazł podatności 25 kwietnia. Dion Blazakis dołączył do zespołu 27 kwietnia. Josh Maine zbudował narzędzia, a 1 maja działający exploit był gotowy. Atak startuje z konta zwykłego użytkownika bez żadnych specjalnych uprawnień, korzysta wyłącznie ze standardowych wywołań systemowych i kończy się uzyskaniem dostępu do powłoki roota — czyli pełnej kontroli nad systemem.

    <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-1„>Calif zaznacza, że Mythos Preview był kluczowym wsparciem na każdym etapie: szybko zidentyfikował podatności należące do znanych klas błędów, a potem pomagał przez cały proces budowania exploita. Jednocześnie badacze przyznają, że autonomiczne ominięcie MIE wymagało ludzkiej ekspertyzy — AI samo tego nie zrobiłoby. Badacze zastrzegają, że samo AI nie wystarczyłoby — do przeprowadzenia całości konieczna była ich własna ekspercka wiedza. Niemniej przypadek ten potwierdza, że modele językowe mogą skutecznie asystować w znajdowaniu podatności w oprogramowaniu, co jest zarówno dobrą, jak i niepokojącą wiadomością — zależy, kto z tego korzysta.

    Anthropic uruchomiło projekt o nazwie Glasswing, który umożliwia firmom technologicznym, w tym Apple, korzystanie z Claude Mythos Preview do szukania luk bezpieczeństwa w systemach operacyjnych i przeglądarkach. Znaleziona przez Calif podatność dotyczyła jądra systemu — i co ciekawe, w notatkach do aktualizacji macOS 26.5, którą Apple wydało w tym tygodniu, pojawia się wzmianka o naprawionej luce kernelowej z podziękowaniem właśnie dla Calif i Anthropic. The Wall Street Journal jednak sugeruje, że spotkanie Calif z Apple odbyło się dopiero w tym tygodniu i poprawka może jeszcze nie być wdrożona. Apple poinformowało, że analizuje raport firmy Calif.

    Puenta jest jednak wyraźna: mały zespół z dostępem do najlepszego modelu AI jest w stanie w tydzień pokonać zabezpieczenie, które kosztowało Apple lata pracy i prawdopodobnie miliardy dolarów.

    Mac nigdy nie będzie tak bezpieczny jak iOS — i dobrze

    To dobry moment, żeby sięgnąć po opublikowaną tego samego dnia analizę Jasona Snella z Six Colors, która nadaje całej historii szerszy kontekst.

    Snell pisze, że Mac z założenia jest platformą otwartą — możesz na nim uruchomić dowolny kod z dowolnego źródła — i to jest coś, co sprawia, że Mac jest Makiem. Jednocześnie ta otwartość czyni go bardziej podatnym niż iOS, gdzie Apple kontroluje każdy fragment oprogramowania przez podpisywanie kodu, App Store i notaryzację. Od lat Apple prowadzi na macOS swoistą grę w krecika ze złośliwym oprogramowaniem: kiedy jedno wyjście zostaje zablokowane, scammerzy szukają kolejnego.

    Kiedy Apple utrudniło instalowanie nienotaryzowanych aplikacji, scammerzy zaczęli instruować użytkowników, jak ominąć ostrzeżenia. Kiedy Apple utrudniło to do granic możliwości, przenieśli się do Terminala — i właśnie dlatego macOS 26.4 wprowadził ostrzeżenia przy wklejaniu kodu do Terminala, z inteligentnym mechanizmem rozpoznającym, czy użytkownik jest programistą (i wtedy ostrzeżenie jest mniej natrętne), czy zwykłym użytkownikiem (i wtedy blokada jest surowsza). Sprawdzane są też złośliwe skrypty AppleScript.

    Do tego Apple przez ostatnie lata coraz mocniej kryptograficznie podpisuje partycje systemowe, ograniczyło uprawnienia kont administratorskich, wprowadza aktualizacje bezpieczeństwa w tle między normalnymi aktualizacjami systemu i — od macOS 26.4 — obowiązkowo synchronizuje klucze FileVault przez iCloud.

    Snell kończy optymistycznie: jeśli scammerzy zeszli do poziomu nakłaniania użytkowników do wklejania kodu w Terminal, to być może po latach zaciskania śruby Apple sprawiło, że instalowanie złośliwego oprogramowania na Maku stało się po prostu za trudne dla przeciętnego oszusta. I że obietnica złożona przez przedstawiciela Apple na WWDC w 2018 roku — że użytkownicy Maka zawsze będą mogli uruchomić dowolny kod — wciąż jest dotrzymana.

  13. This is looking to be an awesome week for getting things done.

    ⁃ Moved my forum #DNS from the registrant to #Cloudflare (free) account.
    ⁃ Added Cloudflare turnstile extension to the forum (phpBB).
    ⁃ Put Cloudflare #gatekeeper protection in place.
    ⁃ Resolved some transparency issues in the ‘winter’ extension I’m using.
    ⁃ Forwarding working properly on the domain so that www and root domain access go to the forum.
    ⁃ Used Container Manager on the NAS to build my own #SearXNG search engine.
    ⁃ Nearly completed the new car spreadsheet allowing us to finalise next years prospective new car purchase. Likely now either a #Nissan #Juke or #Toyota #Yaris Cross (if new models come out as expected)

    All very I.T. related I know but hey it’s what I do. My own way of relaxing. It’s good to feel more useful and accomplished. Helps keep the old brain active too 😜

  14. 3. The difficulty is the message. Rousseau demanded effort for true education. Marx knew revolution was painful. Nietzsche promised suffering before overcoming.

  33. Dolmen Gate – Echoes of Ancient Tales [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]

    By Baguette of Bodom

    You can never have too many swords. This has always been the truth, and Portugal’s Ravensire was well aware of it, following in the triumphant heavy metal footsteps of fellow countrymen Ironsword for three albums. Even when fate would strike down Ravensire in 2020, drummer Alex and guitarist Nuno1 remained undeterred. They formed a new lineup under the Dolmen Gate banner and got to work immediately. Debut EP Finis Imperii released in 2023, debut album Gateways of Eternity followed last year, and now they are already up to second album Echoes of Ancient Tales merely another year later. While this could seem like rushing things to some, it’s clear to me Dolmen Gate is striking while the iron is hot, and they’re just getting warmed up.

    Echoes of Ancient Tales is a direct upgrade over an already strong debut. The core of their sound still channels the epic, riff-forward demeanor of Manilla Road and early Manowar. If you’re familiar with other swordy revival acts like Gatekeeper and the aforementioned Ironsword, you’ll have a good idea of what you’re in for. NWoBHM gallops (“The Maze,” “The Prophecy”) in the vein of Satan further refine the album, increasing its variety and olde cred. Alex furiously pounds the drums while Kiko and Artur duel out riffs for days, utilizing both speedy (“Carthage Eternal”) and stompy (“A Tale of Time’s End”) songwriting philosophies in Cirith Ungol fashion. Ana’s vocals deliver the same smoky, subdued tone that enhances the music and gives the band even more of a standout personality. Better yet, Echoes of Ancient Tales fixes the only real problem I had with the debut: buried vocals. Not only does Ana sing with more confidence and power, her role is also more central and upfront—justifiably so.

    Dolmen Gate’s songwriting is growing in strength, and the band is only getting heavier. The early one-two punch of “Souls to Sea” transitioning into “The Maze” alone makes their direction loud and clear, and it shows the band isn’t satisfied just sitting in one corner musically. As always, authenticity is the key factor in revival-style music, and Dolmen Gate passes the test with flying colors. They sound like they have the same influences as their favorite bands but are also aware of their musical surroundings in less olde times. The almighty riff is the most important building block here, and the band knows this well. Guitar and drum patterns from many varieties of heavy metal—and some of its heavier offshoots too—help to craft both catchy anthems (“The Maze,” “Carthage Eternal”) and epic long-form tunes (“Souls to Sea,” “Afore the Storm” into “We Are the Storm”) without missing a beat.

    Echoes of Ancient Tales is, without questio,n the best pure heavy metal record of the year. A lot of newer epic heavy metal bands have popped up during the past decade, and many of them have the right idea. But it feels like the change of bands and lineups was the kick the ex-Ravensire folk needed to take that next step. Dolmen Gate is one of the best and most authentic so far, both songwriting and production-wise, while also doing something that’s uniquely theirs. Raise your swords and enter the gate!

    Tracks to Check Out: “The Maze,” “A Tale of Time’s End,” and “We Are the Storm.”

    Tracks to Check Out: “The Maze,” “A Tale of Time’s End,” and “We Are the Storm.”

  36. Dolmen Gate – Echoes of Ancient Tales [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]

    By Baguette of Bodom

    You can never have too many swords. This has always been the truth, and Portugal’s Ravensire was well aware of it, following in the triumphant heavy metal footsteps of fellow countrymen Ironsword for three albums. Even when fate would strike down Ravensire in 2020, drummer Alex and guitarist Nuno1 remained undeterred. They formed a new lineup under the Dolmen Gate banner and got to work immediately. Debut EP Finis Imperii released in 2023, debut album Gateways of Eternity followed last year, and now they are already up to second album Echoes of Ancient Tales merely another year later. While this could seem like rushing things to some, it’s clear to me Dolmen Gate is striking while the iron is hot, and they’re just getting warmed up.

    Echoes of Ancient Tales is a direct upgrade over an already strong debut. The core of their sound still channels the epic, riff-forward demeanor of Manilla Road and early Manowar. If you’re familiar with other swordy revival acts like Gatekeeper and the aforementioned Ironsword, you’ll have a good idea of what you’re in for. NWoBHM gallops (“The Maze,” “The Prophecy”) in the vein of Satan further refine the album, increasing its variety and olde cred. Alex furiously pounds the drums while Kiko and Artur duel out riffs for days, utilizing both speedy (“Carthage Eternal”) and stompy (“A Tale of Time’s End”) songwriting philosophies in Cirith Ungol fashion. Ana’s vocals deliver the same smoky, subdued tone that enhances the music and gives the band even more of a standout personality. Better yet, Echoes of Ancient Tales fixes the only real problem I had with the debut: buried vocals. Not only does Ana sing with more confidence and power, her role is also more central and upfront—justifiably so.

    Dolmen Gate’s songwriting is growing in strength, and the band is only getting heavier. The early one-two punch of “Souls to Sea” transitioning into “The Maze” alone makes their direction loud and clear, and it shows the band isn’t satisfied just sitting in one corner musically. As always, authenticity is the key factor in revival-style music, and Dolmen Gate passes the test with flying colors. They sound like they have the same influences as their favorite bands but are also aware of their musical surroundings in less olde times. The almighty riff is the most important building block here, and the band knows this well. Guitar and drum patterns from many varieties of heavy metal—and some of its heavier offshoots too—help to craft both catchy anthems (“The Maze,” “Carthage Eternal”) and epic long-form tunes (“Souls to Sea,” “Afore the Storm” into “We Are the Storm”) without missing a beat.

    Echoes of Ancient Tales is, without questio,n the best pure heavy metal record of the year. A lot of newer epic heavy metal bands have popped up during the past decade, and many of them have the right idea. But it feels like the change of bands and lineups was the kick the ex-Ravensire folk needed to take that next step. Dolmen Gate is one of the best and most authentic so far, both songwriting and production-wise, while also doing something that’s uniquely theirs. Raise your swords and enter the gate!

  38. Кто следит за сторожем? Безопасная архитектура Gatekeeper в Managed Kubernetes

    Привет! Меня зовут Александр, я ведущий разработчик VK Tech в команде, которая занимается сервисом Kubernetes в нашем публичном облаке . Все чаще провайдеры отказываются от модели, где пользователь получает полный контроль над кластером и всеми управляющими компонентами, в пользу управляемых (managed) решений. В такой архитектуре вы остаетесь администратором внутри своего кластера — создаете неймспейсы, деплоите приложения, настраиваете RBAC, — но инфраструктура, control plane и системные компоненты полностью управляются провайдером и скрыты от глаз пользователя. В начале декабря наша команда выпустила новый сервис managed-k8s, в котором как раз реализован такой подход. Я расскажу вам про то, как выглядит наш Kubernetes с точки зрения архитектуры и каким образом Gatekeeper делает архитектуру безопасной.
