⚪️ Linux Kernel Fuzzing: Setting Up Syzkaller to Find Security Bugs
🗨️ In this article, we’ll get some hands-on practice fuzzing the kernel. But first, we’ll briefly cover the history and theory of fuzzing and discuss how our target works. We’ll then configure and build the Linux kernel, set up Syzkaller, and start hunting for bugs.

Citizen Astronomy (CAst)
by ÖgetayKayali
https://github.com/OgetayKayali/citizen-astronomyEvery clear night, amateur telescopes around the world capture photons that professional observatories never will -- the right patch of sky, at the right moment, with enough patience to notice something change. Citizen Astronomy turns those images into science.
CAst is a desktop application (Windows installer primary; unsigned macOS .app zip available for alpha testers) that takes folders of FITS and XISF images and gives you the tools to measure variable stars, discover moving asteroids, build Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, and explore the sky -- all from one guided interface, no command-line scripting required.
Please read more details in ALT-Texts of images. These images are just a few examples of the sophisticated use-cases of this software!
Another nice example:

@juandesant this is built into bash as $RANDOM and $SRANDOM as well. Its been there since 1989 when it was created, but the Korn shell seems to have invented the idea in 1986.

NetBSD 9.x reaches end of support
To bid farewell to NetBSD 9.x, there are some security and stability fixes one last time. A switch to NetBSD 10 or 11 is explicitly recommended.

You won't get #dd to not have long options. It's had long options for the entirety of its existence, from about 15 years before #getopt long options were even invented.
What this does is give them the standard Unix syntax with dashes, in addition to the existing original JCL syntax.
The only supposed worse interface that this encourages is that which the dd command itself has had all along. (-:

We've all been there, but the #NetBSD way is different. Get the architecture right the first time. Why spend years fixing technical debt when you can build a stable, portable foundation from the start?
Reject automated bloat. RTAM( Read The Awesome Manual). Write code yourself. Run NetBSD.

bhyve inside a jail sounds like a stunt. It isn’t.
FreeBSD has supported it since 12.0, and it turns the hypervisor into one more manageable jail: delegated ZFS, VNET, vm-bhyve, devfs rules and all.
Here is my complete production setup, including the security caveats

Starting with version 16, the entire base code of #FreeBSD will no longer contain any #GPL dependencies.
I find the thicket of #licenses too confusing, which is why I have only looked into #CC in any detail for my blogs. However, the fact that the developers of a significant #Unix system are making such a major effort to take this step gives me food for thought. Even without fully grasping the broader context, I respect the move.
I will now wait until #FreeBSD16 has been released before proceeding with my planned experiments. #Linux

Today I have implemented malloc in 76 bytes in #Uxntal .
https://paste.sr.ht/~ismael-vc/21de76cd6c103a469ff06f33696a95c49bf87508
After fiddling with this all afternoon, I finally have implemented a malloc other than the simple "bump pointer allocator" I was using.
I'll work on mfree, but that will be for tomorrow.
I changed the unit size to byte instead of 64 bytes because there is no MMU expecting it in 64 bytes in #Uxn as it was in the PDP, so it makes no sense in Uxn? might bite me later.
Catmon was indispensable.
