I published the following diary on isc.sans.edu: “The UPX Packer Will Never Die!“: Today, many malware samples that you can find in the wild are “packed”. The process of packing an executable file is not new and does not mean that it is de-facto malicious. Many developers decide to pack
The post [SANS ISC] The UPX Packer Will Never Die! appeared first on /dev/random.
At first glance, both the executables that a compiler produces, and the libraries that are used during the building process seem like they’re not very accessible. They are these black boxes that make an application go, or make the linker happy when you hand it the ‘right’ library file. There …read more

In tracking security innovation, PE’s US cybersecurity push resumes in 2018 after last year’s lull, Carbon Black IPO Success, Trusted Key raised $3M in “Seed”, Namogoo raised $15M Series B, IronNet Cybersecurity raised $78M Seri… Continue reading Carbon Black, Trusted Key, & IronNet – Business Security Weekly #84
Outlawed now in some places, or only available to tote your purchases at a ridiculous premium, the billions of “T-shirt” bags used every year present a serious waste management problem. Whether blowing across the landscape like synthetic tumbleweeds, floating in the ocean as ersatz jellyfish, or clogging up municipal waste streams, finding a way to deal with them could really make a difference. And finding a bug that eats polyethylene and poops antifreeze might be a great first step in bioremediating the mess.
As with many scientific discoveries, learning about the useful and unexpected eating habits of the larval stage …read more

I am always torn about the title of “engineer.” When I talk to school kids about engineering, I tell that an engineer is a person who uses science and math to solve or analyze practical problems. However, these days you hear a lot of engineering titles thrown around to anyone who does any sort of technical (and sometimes non-technical) work. “Software engineers” don’t have to be licensed to practice, while civil engineers do. What’s in a name and does any of this matter?
The truth is, though, most US states have strict laws about who can …read more
