Botnet Analysis: A Product-Grade Threat for the AI Service Era
NadMesh is an industrial-grade Go-based botnet observed in July 2026 that autonomously scans and exploits AI infrastructure and cloud services. The botnet integrates scanning, exploitation, and intelligence harvesting into a single platform targeting over 90 cloud provider address ranges. It employs 20+ exploitation vectors against Redis, Docker, MCP, Kubernetes, and other services, with particular focus on AI platforms like ComfyUI, Ollama, and Gradio discovered via Shodan API. NadMesh features a web-based management panel, polymorphic builds using Garble obfuscation and UPX packing, and redundant persistence mechanisms including SSH backdoors, agent processes, and cron watchdogs. The operation demonstrates clear commercial intent with conversion funnel statistics, canary updates, and automated task supply loops that amplify high-yield subnets. It harvests cloud credentials, Kubernetes tokens, AI model access, and MCP service intelligence.

Manticore Search + systemd: современный подход к управлению
Если вы запускаете Manticore Search на Linux, в качестве основного инструмента управления стоит выбрать systemd. На текущий момент это общепринятая практика, хотя ранее существовали определённые ограничения. Да, Manticore Search мог работать под systemd, но интеграция обладала рядом функциональных ограничений. Архитектура демона основана на традиционных подходах Unix; systemd появился позже и хотел от службы совсем другого. Так что настройка работала, но не соответствовала современным требованиям к управлению службами. Теперь Manticore Search поддерживает нативные уведомления systemd — это и есть главное изменение. Почему это важно? Потому что устраняется ряд операционных проблем:

But by a 2-to-1 vote, the appeals court panel ruled that under the #Impoundment Control Act of 1974, only the Government Accountability Office [#USGAO], which serves as #Congress's independent #watchdog, could challenge #Trump’s efforts to withhold #ForeignAid funding. The panel found that groups that receive government #funding — in this instance, a number of #global #health nonprofits — do not have cause to challenge Trump’s funding cuts.

But the GAO’s recent work on #impoundment has proved more politically contentious, & under #Trump, it has been met w/fierce #Republican opposition.
In May, the #watchdog found that the admin wrongly blocked funds under a $5B program to build #EV charging stations, a component of the #Biden-era #bipartisan infrastructure #law that Trump sees as *wasteful*. In June, the #GAO determined the admin mishandled funding for #libraries & #museums, after Trump curtailed the agency overseeing the money.
