Hi guys, just would like to ask what kind of experiences you do have using VPN services.On internet you can find a lot of diffrent VPN providers (free & pay) telling you how great they are and bla bla bla but the main question is whether it makes any sense to use such services and for what etc to get more privacy.Normaly your ISP can see / log anything you do but also same can the VPN service do +/- selling data profiles of datas they collect (also if they talk about no-logs policy).So who does know or verify that...you know. Just would like to know your opinion about VPN's (pos or neg) and which are good / trustable or not. greetz

Hi guys, normaly I'am using Firefox & Chrome/Brave browsers to surf on internet and I always find sometimes specific diffrents I don't like (in that case browser X works better than browser Y).So a while ago I found out a new issue about Brave & Firefox.Both browser using diffrent mediaplayers to play media content on webpages.Before I thought that the webpage itself does provide their own mediaplayer (youtube etc) to play the content but for some webpages the used mediaplayer is diffrent in Brave & Firefox.Both having a diffrent look and also do work diffrent.So in this case I don't care about the diffrent look so much but I do care about that they work …

Hi guys, so I was playing around with the browser debugger to debug scripts webpages do load and trying to find specific stuff.Normaly I don't much clue about the whole Java commands yet but I tried understand it a little to get some basics and also checking about the webpage "www.w3schools.com" to test examples on fly.Looks all pretty interesting but of course I have many questions where you could maybe help a little. About Debugger in browser (FF / Chrome).I was trying to set breakpoints into scripts and mostly it works to set BPs on any lines of the script but in some script it dosent work to set BPs on some lines and the script pointer just does jump to oth…

Hi guys, just have a another small question about handling responses and creating new valid request header fields.So recently I found some new issue what did surprise me and I don't understand how to handle it yet.The problem is that there are seems to be some webpages who using other methods to allow cookie requests.Normaly I thought I always HAVE to use the "Cookie: *" field in my requests for any cookie I HAVE to use for another requests reading from "Set-Cookie: X". Example: Cookies I got in response... ------------------------------------------------ Set-Cookie: X=12345; path=/; expires=Sat, .... GMT; domain=ABC.com; samesite=none; secure Set-Cookie: Y=…

Hi guys, I have a new little question about drivers and how to update them.I found a tool on internet called DUMo... https://kcsoftwares.com/?dumo ...what shows and listed all drivers of your system stuff.Now I see in my case I have some old drivers in use for diffrent devices.... Intel(R) Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Intel 1.38.2020.805 Update verfügbar (1914.13.0.1065) Intel(R) Management Engine Interface #1 Intel 2040.100.0.1029 Update verfügbar (2047.100.0.1039) etc ...but I can't update them with this tool (no license for it) or do anything with it also if it calls itself as freeware (Trash).I dont get any DL link of…

A path would immediately cause Windows 10 to crash and display a BSOD when entered into the Chrome address bar. When developers want to interact with Windows devices directly, they can pass a Win32 device namespace path as an argument to various Windows programming functions. For example, this allows an application to interact directly with a physical disk without going through the file system. Lykkegaard told BleepingComputer that he discovered the following Win32 device namespace path for the 'console multiplexer driver' that he believes is used for 'kernel / usermode ipc.' When opening the path in various ways, even from low-privileged users, it would cause …

That is it. Or c:\:$i30:$bitmap inside of a shortcut file would do the job. This will cause immediate corruption in Win10 builds 1803 or later. It will cause prompts to reboot to repair the disk and then chkdsk on boot will be unable to repair. This sounds quite dangerous as it makes downloading zip or rar archives and extracting them potentially harmful if they contain such a shortcut .lnk in them. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-10-bug-corrupts-your-hard-drive-on-seeing-this-files-icon/

Hi guys, I did update my Brave browser to latest version (small while ago) V1.11.97 but I found a nasty bug I dont wanna have.Problem should be any Java issue and showing listings correctly.Not sure how this is called but you know websites who using Java listings which gets open automatically when you scroll down a page right.So this is working so far but on some pages you have a button to load more listings and right there happens the problem.When I press that button then more content gets loaded and shown but the browser jumps directly to the end of the new content and I as user have to scroll manually up many pages to reach the location where I was stand before et…

DNS resolvers and queries (over HTTPS) seem to be a bit of a popular topic in the news of late. There are a number of reasons why people should be using DoH (or DoT); privacy, security, prevention against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. For those not familar and for those of you interested there are ad-blocking DoH resolvers. Below is a list of ad-blocking resolvers that I am currently aware of. Obviously these will perform better or worse depending on where you are located geographically in the world. My top three for performance are the first three in the list, the others are ranked in no preferential order. https://adblock.mydns.ne…

Came across this a couple of week ago and thought i would share What Is This Project? Windows 10 AME aims at delivering a stable, non-intrusive yet fully functional build of Windows 10 to anyone, who requires the Windows operating system natively. Spyware systems, which are abundant in Windows 10 by default, have not been disabled using group policy, registry entries or various other workarounds – they have been entirely removed and deleted from the system, on an executable-level. This includes Windows Update, and any related services intended to re-patch the system via what is essentially a universal backdoor. Core applications, such as the included Edge…

Looks like some of the core-developpers secretly prepared a somewhat hostile (?) fork of radare2, called rizen. https://rizin.re/posts/faq/ Cutter already announced they support it.

Does anyone know if such a tool exists? The fact that the article comes through the wire before Javascript comes and hides it behind paywall or login banners, means there should be some way to undo the nonsense. Of course these sites are moving towards fixing this and not sending more than a teaser over the wire. But to this day most sites are still sending full articles and relying on client side content blocking as silly as that is. I'm just surprised not to have come across such a tool. It's getting harder and harder to use aggregates since half the articles are linking to these types of sites

Hi guys, I have a bad problem.Few days ago I did prepair my USB drive (format with NTFS) and gave it a name.Everything seems to be ok and I did started to backup much files on it.Today I did connected that USB disk and see that the name I gave that USB disk didnt showed up in my explorer (just local disk as name) and also no filesize was shown too.Now I cant access it anymore etc.In the computer management / disks I can see all my hard-drives (also that USB drive) what shows me filesystem raw and also the full filesize with 100% free!Great!!!

Hi, i'm not good on introduce myself, so I'm going to get right to the point, I'm a beginner practicing every day, but most of the time I fail on my task (I find important instructions, but then nothing work), I'm searching a mentor or a group to talk with (and that tell me where I'm wrong), I can't ask single question when i don't know what to ask, hope you understand me ahaha, if someone will anwer I will appreciate it a lot, thank for reading. At the moment this is what I did: - I readed the book Learning Malware Analysis(my final objective is to become a Malware Analyst) - Followed some videos of Lena151 - Practiced with some programs

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/11/githubs-source-code-was-leaked-on-github-last-night-sort-of/ Last night, developer and privacy activist Resynth1943 announced that GitHub's source code had been leaked on GitHub itself, in GitHub's own DMCA repository. It's going to take some unpacking to talk about that, but first things first—this isn't as big a deal as it might sound like. GitHub Enterprise Server != GitHub.com Grinding a DMCA-related axe It seems likely that the "unknown individual" Resynth1943 referenced uploaded the leaked source code largely out of anger about the recent Youtube-dl takedown. The code itself was d…
