New blog post “‘The road to ε₀: Shortlex order also orders sequences of numbers”

In finite Nim, the nim-heaps are just ordinary finite numbers. In infinite Nim, they can be any finite _sequences_ of finite numbers, and if we use shortlex to order them, the game is still well-founded: It must always end eventually.

The previously difficult-seeming number \( ω^ω \) is just revealed as the type of finite sequences of finite numbers, not so difficult at all!

From ClickFix to MaaS: Exposing a Modular Windows RAT and Its Admin Panel

A new ClickFix campaign targets Windows users with a NodeJS-based infostealer delivered via malicious MSI installers. This highly adaptable remote access Trojan minimizes forensic footprints through dynamic capability loading, with core stealing modules and communication protocols delivered in-memory only after C2 connection. The malware routes gRPC streaming traffic over Tor network for persistent, masked bidirectional channels. An operational security failure exposed server-side admin panel protocol definitions, revealing a malware-as-a-service backend designed to manage multiple operators and automate cryptocurrency asset tracking. The modular architecture delivers malicious logic dynamically as strings executed in-memory, bypassing static signature detection while supporting full RAT functionality including shell command execution and wallet tracking.

Among all things, I've finally found time to finish my first and fun utility project in Nim language. It may not be perfect. But I enjoyed working on something new. 🫰🫰

Mirage Kitten targets Middle East and Africa region with new malware

Mirage Kitten, an advanced persistent threat group also known as UNC1549, Smoke Sandstorm, and Nimbus Manticore, has been observed deploying a previously undocumented malware set targeting aerospace, aviation, defense, and telecommunications sectors across the Middle East and Africa. The toolset includes NightLedger, a Windows backdoor with reconnaissance, command execution, file operations, process discovery, and screenshot capture capabilities. Two custom WebSocket-based tunneling tools, ArcBridge and BridgeHead, enable covert network access and operator-controlled tunneling through victim networks. The group employs highly targeted spear-phishing campaigns, fake recruitment portals, and lookalike videoconferencing pages. Victims were identified in Egypt, Jordan, Tanzania, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso. The malware demonstrates operational security through username-based execution checks and advanced proxy traversal capabilities.

Ongoing PLC Exploitation Against Critical U.S. Infrastructure

Multiple federal agencies have updated a joint advisory warning of active exploitation targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in U.S. critical infrastructure. Attackers scan for internet-exposed industrial control systems and connect using legitimate engineering software with valid credentials, appearing as authorized technicians. Once inside, they alter controller logic and manipulate operator displays to hide anomalies. The campaign has expanded beyond Rockwell Automation to include Schneider Electric and Siemens equipment. Unlike a similar 2023 campaign that caused minimal disruption, this ongoing activity has resulted in confirmed operational disruption and financial losses. Targeted sectors include government facilities, water systems, and energy infrastructure. The exploitation leverages architectural weaknesses rather than software vulnerabilities, with attackers accessing systems through ports 22, 102, 502, 2222, and 44818.

We again welcome Lothar Jöckel to the YottaDB blog, with his second guest post, based on a talk he gave at #NimConf2026 about his software, #Nimetic. Modern web development is drowning in JavaScript fatigue, but there is a powerful alternative that allows you to build Single Page Applications (SPAs) with zero user client-side JavaScript. Read his post at https://yottadb.com/nimetic-zero-js-single-page-applications-with-nim-datastar-and-yottadb/ #Nim #SPA

Finally have the excellent terminal browser #chawan running in OpenBSD!

IIRC, #nim wasn't available for #OpenBSD before? Or was I just dreaming that? XD

I gotta say the nim language docs are rather pleasant :blobcatcoffee:

Example https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut1.html

But then the whole docs page has multiple interesting things to go through:

https://nim-lang.org/documentation.html

A nice experience on the site overall, clear, clean, simple

Gotchas I've seen so far is that nimble.directory page linked in many places just gives a 502. And yesterday I saw the lsp crashing in gram. Also some editors try to use another lsp binary.

My actual ranking for your criteria:

1. #Nim - https://nim-lang.org
2. #Odin - https://odin-lang.org
3. #Gleam - https://gleam.run
4. #Zig - https://ziglang.org
5. #Go - https://go.dev

I just started learning #OdinLang this weekend myself.

#NimLang #GleamLang #ZigLang #GoLang

Executes the query and returns the first column of the first row of the result dataset. Returns "" if the dataset contains no rows or the database value is NULL.

Dear NIM, WTF. Love, me.

Just realized I was running a fairly old version of the [chawan] terminal browser, 0.1. Now yoinked the latest stuff from the git repo (0.4-dev), and it seems to fix a few things, based on a cursory glance.

Super neat project! Terminal web browser with image (#sixel) and #CSS support!

It's been two years trying to implement a structural equation modeling tool that runs in the gpu. It was only possible because of #nim and claude. It was fun and it works great. Infinite applications in science. The temporary site is in here: https://fastsem.netlify.app/

Tradition up: the new, weekly development report from my #opensource projects arrived. A roguelike game, #Nim binding to Nuklear GUI library and static code analyzer for Nim got some updates. More info: www.laeran.pl.eu.org/blog/devblog... Happy Easter everyone. 🐇

@simon_brooke #nim perhaps? Your lispy predilections may be piqued, provided the Python whitespace perversions don’t piss you off.

The thing i really like about Nim is that whenever I think of a convenient language affordance, that's very helpful for some particular thing, it turns out they have one of those already!  (Today I discovered they have source filters - https://nim-lang.org/docs/filters.html)

@rvyhvn I really enjoyed #Nim few years ago, made my biggest project using it.
Have you taken a look at #Raku (#rakulang) ? It’s my current fav language, I just wish that it could compile to binary (so that I can share to people now having Raku installed).

And weekly wakie with the new development report from my #opensource projects. As always, a roguelike game and #Nim binding for Nuklear GUI library got some changes. More information: www.laeran.pl.eu.org/blog/devblog... And standard, happy weekend, everyone. 😃
