  • This isn’t the Arch logo file as it’s been redrawn to make it 3D. Blackarch have always used the original design but red and with a sword.

    My guess these are fan made stickers given out / sold at conferences. They could be fan stickers for Blackarch but they also could just be red Arch stickers for the fun of it.

    Redbubble is full of the stuff. It’s pretty typical to see playful project logo stickers all over conferences that people have ordered online. My buddy buys a load of these off Redbubble to stick on laptops people leave around at cybersecurity conferences:




  • Couldn’t agree more. FireWire’s Direct Memory Access was such a game changer for scrubbing video footage right from the camera.

    There’s plenty of reasons to hate Apple but their I/O has never been one.

    Core Audio, for instance, is practically magic. Absurdly low latency with no need for device drivers with hardware that’s class compliant. Just plug it in over USB-C.



  • micro enters the chat.

    Static, portable binary with no dependencies.

    Out of the box:

    • Syntax highlighting
    • Multi-line cursors like Sublime Text
    • Mouse support (works incredibly well)
    • Splits and tabs for working on multiple files
    • Diff gutter
    • Copy and paste with system clipboard
    • Cross-platform (runs basically on anything that Go does)
    • Sane key binds (ctrl-s, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-z, ctrl-x, etc)
    • Terminal emulator
    • Plugin system to extend it
    • And much much more

    I have nothing to do with the project but this binary is the absolute best. curl or wget to any host and away you go with effectively a Sublime Text / VSCode like in the terminal. It’s as simple as nano and as functional as a well configured and extended vim.

    It’s baffling it’s not more well known and not installed by default on major distros.






  • Very much this. Watch a few chefs on TV / the internet and just trial and error. Cooking is a skill like anything else and you simply need to put in the time to get experienced.

    I do highly recommend you own a wooden chopping board, a Mercer Culinary Chef’s Knife (or better), and a 1000 grit whet stone for sharpening. A sharp knife makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. And a wood board is kinder to a blade and is surprisingly more hygienic than alternatives.



  • It already is pretty rampant, however most Linux admins have minimal if any detection strategy.

    Additionally, while there’s plenty of binaries about like VoidLink, almost all campaigns against Linux hosts target SSH, or RCE vulnerabilities, and deliver shell scripts that orchestrate the attack.

    Why compile a binary when the shell has everything you need? The threat models are pretty different between Windows and the *nix world.

    When you look at botnet composition, they’re usually made up of outdated Linux hosts with SSH open with password-based authentication.

    Seriously people, switch to key-based auth and disable password auth entirely.
