Leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) were kept as domestic cats in China starting about 5,000 years ago. Modern cats (Felis catus) descend from African wildcats and arrived later, after around 700 AD, via Silk Road trade. 📽: cascahexene https://t.co/fYci4ZQx2l

Memory dumps aren’t always reliable. In “A Comprehensive Quantification of Inconsistencies in Memory Dumps” (with @balzarot), to be presented on October 20 at RAID 2025, Gold Coast, Australia, we quantify, classify, and trace how kernel activity and acquisition setups cause them.

Got to love .co.uk behaviour. First they take down https://t.co/kOrlGMq4ym unless you are verified at the ISP level and now the frog further boils. This is not the behviour of a free and open society.

VLANs protect you as much, if not *moreso* than traditional antivirus, yet I barely know 2 people IRL that use them. IoT garbage? VLAN Work PC? VLAN Gaming Console? VLAN Who cares if something is compromised if it can't talk to anything useful.

🔥 So, at DEF CON there was a talk about deobfuscation: VMDragonSlayer by @Van1sh_BSidesIT. The author released the code and there's clearly huge amounts of AI slop.🤖 Now, WE WENT TO THE TALK and spoke with the speaker after the talk. 🧵
How did this AI slop get a talk at the main track @ DEFCON????????? https://t.co/uN5KrfiBg7
