It does not make the numbers, research and original research on top of which this is based, wrong :D

that's exactly the next-round attack. StarScout's network-centrality defense works for the current generation of campaigns but won't survive LLM-generated PR/commit patterns

Agree that sophisticated funds don't, but the ecosystem hasn't caught up. StarHub/GitStar pricing pages still sell to "seed-stage founders pre-fundraise"

Fun ride.

we are so fu*ed
Agreed 100%, never said the opposite
I just meant that it was very convenient to have the firmware images there on S3, nothing else :D Many vendors make the process of even just obtaining a copy of the firmware much harder than that, so for once I was glad it has been much easier. Also being able to bindiff two adjacent versions of the same firmware is great ... all in all I was just expressing my happiness :D
Do you people realize that there's a big difference between open source and proprietary technologies right?
Nerve is a tool that creates stateful agents with any LLM — without writing a single line of code. While it was inspired by other projects such as Autogen and Rigging, its main goal and core difference with other tools is to allow the user to instrument smart and stateful agents without writing code (unless required for custom functionalities).
lol thank you ... yes they did
as long as i know, you definitely need root to communicate with netlink .... i don't think there're gonna be large packet flows, only first connection packets tnx to conntrack, it's doable :)
Ahah not really 24/7, but you're almost there :) it's my way to repay the OSS community for everything I learned from OSS during my life.
As I said, it'll be in C++, Go is great, Rust too, but I just can't get used to their syntax :D
OpenSnitch is not only about ftrace, check the NFQUEUE handling, moving to native will improve performances and stability. Also, it requires root because that's the only way it can install the iptable rules it needs in order to function properly.
OpenSnitch author here ... although performances are not a big deal here because only conntrack packets are intercepted, the project will move to a C++ implementation once the current Python prototype/PoC will be complete and will prove that what I want to do is 100% doable on GNU/Linux :)
OpenSnitch author here ... that's exactly the direction the project is going, C++ daemon running as root and low privileged UI in Python or whatever. The current implementation is more of a PoC/test to see the whole logic working before starting the real thing :)
absolutely! :D
ooooops, I didn't see that ... anyway, mine looks more complete so it wasn't 100% wasted time :D
now you know :)
