I *don't* maintain my homelab... it maintains itself. Have I reached nirvana? Is this the ultimate goal of homelabbers? It seems that I've somehow automated myself out of a job (hobby?) by building a resilient homelab. Let's figure out where it all went "wrong". * Infrastructure ** Server... Read more ›

TL;DR Introduction Recently in a test I had the joy of reverse engineering the custom binary that acts as a webserver and system controller for their ARM based device. Normally this isn’t a problem: extract the binary, throw it into Ghidra, do stuff. The problem here was that the binary was in written in Rust. Which does a lot of things differently […] The post appeared first on . Read more ›

Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 capabilities, API changes, and availability. --- Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's most capable widely released model, built for the most demanding reasoning and long-horizon agentic work. Claude Mythos 5 shares the same capabilities and is available only in limited release through Project Glasswing. The headline change for integrations: Claude Fable 5 includes safety classifiers that can decline requests. Claude Mythos 5 does not include these classifiers. I... Read more ›

I took a look at the Ghidra ones (because I use Ghidra), and I'm unimpressed: first requires being able to overwrite binaries in the Swift tool directory. Yes, if you overwrite binaries executed by ghidra, you can trigger code execution. This is not a surprise.The second, idk, I'm not familiar with TraceRMI (but it's probably worth noting that "RMI" stands for Remote Method Invocation).The third is not a vulnerability in the slightest, they just demonstrate that native 7zip parsing code is re...

Qdrant is an open-source vector database for AI applications, optimised for similarity search over high-dimensional embeddings, with a REST/gRPC API, payload filtering, and a built-in dashboard. This guide deploys Qdrant using Docker Compose with Traefik handling automatic HTTPS, API-key authentication, and a sample collection that runs a similarity search. By the end, you'll have Qdrant serving vector search securely at your domain. Set Up the Directory Structure 1. Create the project direct... Read more ›
