In recent months, a peculiar behavior observed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has sparked discussions among developers: the automatic insertion of the phrase “co-authored by Copilot” in the code comments, even when GitHub Copilot is not actively used by the developer. This phenomenon raises essential questions regarding code attribution, developer productivity, and the implications of AI-assisted
Metasploitable2 - FTP Exploitation using vsftpd 2.3.4 Backdoor 1. Objective To identify and exploit a known vulnerability in an FTP service running on a vulnerable target machine using industry-standard reconnaissance and exploitation techniques. 2. Lab Environment Component Description Attacker Machine Kali Linux Target Machine Metasploitable2 Network Type Host-only / NAT
A critical kernel privilege escalation that leaves no trace on disk — and how it works It started with a blog post. On April 29, 2026, Theori's research platform Xint Code quietly dropped a URL: copy.fail. Within hours, security teams across the industry were scrambling. A 732-byte Python script — shorter than most .gitignore files — was rooting every major Linux distribution in existence. No race
There are two sections to this. In the first section, I discuss what squad is, why it might be useful to learn, and Coding is solved, apparently. If you're a software engineer and you've been using coding agents for a while, The work has certainly changed. For most code changes, it's easier just to ask an agent to do it and you might even worry you're going too slow if you don't. For a lot of us,
MCPwn Is Live. We Scanned the Supply Chains of 14 MCP Servers. Here's What We Found. April 18, 2026 MCPwn dropped this week. CVE-2026-33032 — CVSS 9.8, actively exploited, 2,600+ instances exposed. Two HTTP requests. No authentication. Full nginx server takeover. Then MCPwnfluence: CVE-2026-27825 and CVE-2026-27826. The most widely used Atlassian MCP server — SSRF chained with arbitrary file wri
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Part 2 (coming soon): Connecting to spoke clusters from a controller using multicluster-runtime, driven by ClusterProfile. The Cluster Inventory API (multicluster.x-k8s.io) is driven by SIG-Multicluster and centered on the ClusterProfile resource. It only delivers value when something produces those ClusterProfiles. That something is a cluster manager. Today, t
When developers travel, we usually prepare the obvious things. Laptop charger. But there is one dependency that is easy to underestimate until it breaks: mobile internet. A trip to China makes this especially obvious. Not because China is hard to travel in, but because so many basic interactions are mobile-first: navigation, translation, ride-hailing, hotel communication, ticket confirmations, pay
If you maintain Go services, you've probably been here: a scanner flags a CVE, you spend 30 minutes tracing imports and call paths, and it turns out your code never touches the vulnerable function. I built GVS to automate that. Give it a repo URL and a CVE ID, and it does call graph analysis to determine whether the vulnerable symbols are actually reachable from your code. What it does: Builds cal
