Released v1.3.3. of #Yaralyzer, my surprisingly popular tool for visualizing YARA rule matches with colors (a lot of colors).

1. --export-png images lets you export images of the analysis

2. almost all command line options (including multi argument ones like --yara-rules-dir) can be permanently set via environment variables or .yaralyzer file

3. couple of small bug fixes and debugging related command line options

You can try it on the web here: https://yaratoolkit.securitybreak.io/
(I didn't build this website, Thomas Roccia from Microsoft just integrated Yaralyzer into his existing site)

- Github: https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/yaralyzer
- Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/yaralyzer/
- on macOS you can also get it with #Homebrew by installing Pdfalyzer: brew install pdfalyzer

Whistleblower drops 'largest ever' #ICE leak to unmask agents

‚A whistleblower has released the identities of approximately 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol agents, marking what may be the largest data breach in the Department of Homeland Security's history. The leak, published on ICE List, was triggered by national outrage following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent….‘

"ICE has been invading U.S. cities, targeting, surveilling, harassing, assaulting, detaining, and torturing people who are undocumented immigrants. They also have targeted people with work permits, asylum seekers, permanent residents (people holding “green cards”), naturalized citizens, and even citizens by birth. ICE has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on surveillance technology to spy on anyone—and potentially everyone—in the United States. It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against such an overwhelming force. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

Let’s start with Flock, the company behind a number of automated license plate reader (ALPR) and other camera technologies. You might be surprised at how many Flock cameras there are in your community. Many large and small municipalities around the country have signed deals with Flock for license plate readers to track the movement of all cars in their city. Even though these deals are signed by local police departments, oftentimes ICE also gains access.

Because of their ubiquity, people are interested in finding out where and how many Flock cameras are in their community. One project that can help with this is the OUI-SPY, a small piece of open source hardware. The OUI-SPY runs on a cheap Arduino compatible chip called an ESP-32."

Hackers are developing open-source tools like OUI-SPY and crowdsourced maps (deflock.me, alpr.watch) to detect and counter ICE's automated license plate readers and surveillance cameras. 🔍
These counter-surveillance efforts aim to protect communities from mass tracking, though legal risks remain. ⚖️

‚Es war eine Szene, die selbst für den Chaos Communication Congress außergewöhnlich war. Auf der Bühne: eine Person im pinkfarbenen Power-Ranger-Kostüm. Im Publikum: Tausende IT-Sicherheits-Expert:innen, Hacker:innen und Aktivist:innen aus aller Welt. Was dann folgte, war kein Show-Gag, sondern ein Live-Demonstrationsmoment digitaler Macht. Die unter dem Pseudonym „Martha Root“ bekannte Person, präsentierte öffentlich, wie sie eine rechtsextreme Dating-Plattform kompromittiert, vollständig kopiert und schließlich gelöscht hatte.‘

A hacker-turned-source turns up dead. A secret order to allow U.K. officials to spy on users. And who could forget the Trump administration accidentally texting its war plans to a reporter. These are just a few of @Techcrunch’s best cybersecurity stories from 2025 that were originally reported on by other organizations. Quite an informative and gripping batch.

Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier is a 1997 book by Suelette Dreyfus, researched by Julian Assange. It describes the exploits of a group of Australian, American, and British black hat hackers during the late 1980s and early 1990s, among them Assange himself.

one of the largest crypto #defi protocols #Balancer is currently being robbed, $88 million stolen and counting. it will probably turn out to be #NorthKorea (because it's almost always north korea) but TBD.

one of the fun things about crypto is that when someone robs a bank you can watch the getaway car drive away just by clicking on some links in a blockchain explorer.

[edit] details of the bug that was exploited if you’re into that kind of thing: https://x.com/moo9000/status/1985262739493687351

[edit] ended up being a ~$130 million heist.

@Dendrobatus_Azureus personally, I think it's high time that #ISPs will force customers to take #ITsec seriously and terminate connections upon abuse reports.

Not that I'd take #AbuseReports by #RogueISP|s like #CloudFlare serious anyway but I've yet to find any #ISP that doesn't allow them to terminate services at any time without warning if the services are used against their ToS and every #B2C / #consumer ISP explicitly bans #DDoS, #malware distribution and #hacking in said Terms of Service.

• And yes I've seen cases where ISPs (most notably #DTAG) did terminate connectivity following a malware infection and #Spamming from a consumer's #DSL line.

Sounds harsh but #LackOfAccountability & #LackOfConsequences got us here!

Rule 1: Don't ever use an #agentic browser (one that an AI can control).
Rule 2: But, if you do use an agentic browser, only run it inside a virtual machine.

Die #Bundespolizei soll neue Befugnisse bekommen, darunter staatliches Hacken, Daten-Abfragen und Drohnen-Einsätze.
