As we celebrate Episode 300 Noah and Steve dig into the difference in industry between 2017 when ANS launched and today. The landscape has changed considerably. Today people ask about Open Source, today people value interoperability. -- During The Show -- 01:50 Listener follows up on Bluray playback - William It worked!

Rynek PC jest spadkobiercą 40 lat rozwoju który bardzo silnie związał użytkowników z “oprogramowaniem układowym”, którego nie sposób się pozbyć. Od BIOS po UEFI na binarnych fragmentach FW urządzeń peryferyjnych skończywszy, zawsze gdzieś w systemie czyha potencjalny cichy intruz.Nasuwają się więc pytania: “Czy jesteśmy skazani na Firmware”? Czy producenci sprzętu tworzą tajną lożę i chcą zawładnąć światem poprzez szpiegowanie nieświadomych użytkowników? W czyim interesie jest zaszywanie w krzemie instrukcji procesora weryfikujących podpis cyfrowy oprogramowania? Na te i podobne pytania postaramy się odpowiedzieć w tym odcinku podcastu Poziom Niżej.Prowadzący: Radosław Biernacki, Marcin Wojtas, Jan DąbrośHashtag: acpi, bios, coreboot, firmware, secureboot, uefi### Plan odcinka# 00:00 - Wprowadzenie# 04:56 - Czym jest firmware# 10:33 - Trochę historii - BIOS# 17:43 - Czas obecny - UEFI# 22:50 - EDK2# 28:30 - CSM - czyli UEFI potrafi w BIOS# 29:50 - Coreboot - KISS# 31:05 - Libreboot# 33:30 - Bootloader, czyli co następuje po…# 35:45 - RaspberryPi jako beneficjent otwartego firmware# 38:35 - Bootrom - czyli jak uruchamiają się nowoczesne procesory# 42:40 - Detale wczesnych etapów uruchomienia systemu# 45:40 - Microcode# 48:00 - Inicjalizacja (trening) RAM# 52:12 - Bootloader# 56:40 - Skąd firmware bierze sterowniki?

It's Monday June 13th, 2022, and this is a look at the information security news from overnight. From BleepingComputer.comResearchers report increased activity of the Hello XD ransomware, which is based on the leaked source code of Babuk, with two significant notes. One is that the operators are now deploying an upgraded sample featuring stronger encryption that includes custom packing for detection avoidance and encryption algorithm changes. And two, they are now including an open-source backdoor named MicroBackdoor. Lots of details in the article. From CPOMagazine.comm:An analysis of leaked chats from the Conti ransomware group have found two items of note. Evidently the cybercrime group was planning firmware attacks targeting the Intel Management Engine. Such a compromise would allow threat actors to introduce a backdoor on Intel devices and execute commands without detection by OS-based security tools. The other interesting piece is that the chat logs seem to confirm a link between the Conti group and the Russian Foreign Services Bureau. Color me not surprised. From TechRadar.com:A new ransomware group called WannaFriendMe, is targeting gamers with the Chaos ransomware, which tries to pass itself off as Ryuk. The strange thing is, the decryptor is so easy, my kid can get it. I only say that because to get the decryptor, you need to log into a Roblox account and buy a specific game pass. Costs about $20. From SecurityWeek.com:Cybercriminals likely operating out of China are distributing backdoored versions of iOS and Android Web3 wallets in an effort to steal users' seed phrase. This previously unreported campaign, dubbed SeaFlower, has been described as one of the most technically sophisticated threats targeting users of Web3 wallets ever seen. Details in the article. From ThreatPost.comResearchers warn Bluetooth signals can be used to track device owners via a unique fingerprinting of the radio signal. Their paper suggests that minor manufacturing imperfections in hardware are unique to each device, and cause measurable distortions which can be used as a basically a fingerprint to track a specific device. Details and a link to the research in the article. And last today, from The Register.comYou ever see the movie Her? Well, since 2021, Google's Responsible AI team, has been tasked with talking to LaMDA, or Language Model for Dialogue Applications. This project was built by fine-tuning a family of Transformer-based neural language models specialized for dialog, with up to 137 billion model parameters. Someone on that team has recently been placed on paid administrative leave for violating Google's confidentiality policies. This person has gone on record stating that they believe the application has exhibited self-awareness and is now a sentient being. That is quite enough from me today. Have a great rest of your day. Like and subscribe, and until tomorrow, be safe out there.

En el primer tercio del programa hablamos de Intel Management Engine. Un añadido a los modernos microprocesadores de Intel que presenta peligros importantes. Enseguida paso a hablar de KODI, el heredero de XBMC y sobre todo del plugin llamado Palantir, con el cual se pueden disfrutar películas y series en streaming. Por último os hablo del nuevo servicio de DNS de CloudFlare y APNIC, que está haciendo furor entre los usuarios de Internet. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rcracking
The Intel Management Engine affords administrators a level control over their enterprise like never known before. What if this power falls into the wrong hands? Read More

Космонавты, встречайте финал сезона у себя в youtube-приемниках! Сегодня мы приготовили для вас многое интересного: в первую очередь про клиентское (браузерное) кэширование всякого, еще про редизайн Codepen, о том как придумывать сильные пароли, об интересном умершем формате DAT (накопитель информации на магнитной ленте), а также последние новости про плеер Winamp, Telegram 4.3 и не только! Тему к следующему выпуску предлагайте здесь: Тему к подкасту #140. «Первая тема» Основы клиентского кэширования понятными словами и на примерах «Дизайн» Редизайн дашборда Codepen. «Светские новости» Частичка visual studio code в скайпе. Как не обломать мозг об пароли вроде eLkdC,lk#jB. DAT: промахнувшийся убийца CD или еще один несправедливо забытый формат. Разработка на скорости 450 слов в минуту. Как будут исполнять закон о запрете Tor, VPN и анонимайзеров в России. Winamp, который мы потеряли: что случилось с некогда самым популярным музыкальным плеером. Вышел Telegram 4.3. В модуле Intel Management Engine найдены закладки для АНБ США. «Разработка» Клиентское кэширование работает лучше всего на хостинге SmartApe!↓ Автор расширения Web Developer для Chrome пишет о том как развивались события с компрометацией. Я решил отключить AMP у себя на сайте. «Научпоп» Геолог Филип Гиббард о ледниковых озерах, изменениях климата и последствиях глобального потепления. С темами к выпуску можно ознакомиться по ссылке: Темы к подкасту #139. Спасибо всем, кто так или иначе принял участие, и дай вам Бог на эти коротенькие семь дней.
