Interesting video about the hack of Andrew Tate’s The Real World site [1].

Informative video about Nick Fuentes covering the racism, anti-semitism, misogyny, and how he is clearly in denial about being gay [2]. It ends with his arrest. Hopefully the first of many arrests. This is what conservatives support.

Insightful article covering the history of bus-mastering attacks on computer security and ending with pwning via CF cards [3].

Interesting lecture at the seL4 symposium about attestation of a running Linux kernel [4]. I’m not a fan of most attestation systems but using a separate isolated seL4 process to monitor a Linux VM offers some real benefits.

Interesting seL4 symposium lecture about CPU drivers and the fact that a modern SoC is a distributed computing environment with lots of untrusted firmware [5]. I like the way he slipped and called it “unworthy firmware” instead of “untrustworthy firmware”, I think I’ll copy that.
