US intelligence on Iran missiles, espionage programs against China.

i'm going to need to write a blog post on this topic, but this is a deeply under-appreciated fact about web dev, and one of the reasons native apps tend to feel more robust than web apps. as someone who frequently amtraks through connectivity dead zones, it resonates deeply.

every part of this tweet is a scam. Harvard is a potemkin village for real estate speculation. Linkedin is Myspace for 50yo men who are office instead of emo. Books were invented by the CIA to diversify their dark money portfolio away from cocaine. Audiobooks aren't even real

Remotely exploiting CVE-2022-34718, TCP/IP RCE bug #EvilEsp for DoS. This is a bug in Ipv6 fragmentation/IpSec, which allows OOB write if an Ipv6 fragment is contained inside an IpSec ESP payload.
I'll write a blog post soon - in the mean time check out this incredibly detailed blog post by @0vercl0k about reverse engineering tcpip.sys. this work made the REing of this bug much easier.

A follow up on the mass shooter Tajiks
1/ Were the Tajiks who carried out a mass shooting at a Russian training ground on 15 October forcibly mobilised against their will? Reports from Russian and Tajik-language media suggest this may indeed have been the case, though much still remains uncertain. 🧵 follows.

At about this time, 118 years ago, one of the daftest and most one-sided sea battles in history began.
Fair play to them though. The Russian's gave it their best few thousand shots, missed with virtually all of them, and escaped with a draw.

Her slim, elegant fingers thrummed on the taxi window.
She could barely contain her glee.
A swift trip to the airport so that when he shambled from the plane… her raddled, adoring face would be the first he saw.
