OwnDroid
Manage your device with Device owner privilege

OwnDroid lets you use Device admin and Device owner privilege to fully manage your Android device.

  • Open source: Device owner privilege could be more dangerous than root, close-source software's security is not guaranteed.
  • Easy to use
  • Modern: Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, following Material Design 3, and adapted for Android 14.

SSH backdoor has infected 400,000 Linux servers over 15 years and keeps on spreading

Ebury backdoors SSH servers in hosting providers, giving the malware extraordinary reach.

@arstechnica @Viss I wish articles like this would include, up front, the indicators of compromise that I can use to test if the servers I manage are affected. It's the first and most important thing I want to know when learning about a vulnerability.

The Microsoft project looks great, but it could use some activity.

There is a great opportunity to improve the plugin or the tool or to improve it's current default ruleset. You can use this tool for in your code, or common best practices.

Will you help me popularize it's usage? For me it's a serious contestant for the sluggish if it gets a bit more love 🩷

Ubuntu 24.04 is not a serious server operating system. Minor example: fail2ban shipped broken (missing required dependencies), Debian developer kindly created a fixed package, but 2 weeks on and no movement. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/fail2ban/+bug/2055114 #Ubuntu #Debian #Security

The funny part about the removal of networking from the default #keepassxc package on #debian, is that they did it for "security" reasons, without thinking that the MOST INSECURE way to transfer a #password to your #browser is via the CLIPBOARD. Absolutely every running app or service can read the clipboard! And yet, that's the default way they expect users to do it now!

That maintainer didn't think it through at all.

David hacked our clocks, and we laughed. And then we cried. Hacking NTP is far too easy.

Want to know how easy? David wrote you a how-to.

Ah

We’ve got another example of that legendary cooperation between state railways today in Köln

Where the Eurostar* stops at the platform is NOT shown on the screens (while for RE and ICE trains it is shown)

So Eurostar employs a person on the platform to tell passengers where to stand 🤦‍♂️

    • Eurostar is 55% SNCF, 18% SNCB

@jon This is the default at least for #TGVs in France as well, mostly for "#security" reasons I guess. The platform is announced about 20 minutes before departure. This is not yet as bad as in the US where rail travel is apparently modelled after air travel (based on my experience of a Amtrak journey between Charlottesville VA and Washington DC around 2008). My experience with french customs is quite recent though, two months worth of Interrail in March and April.
