Anyone else heard about the sourvereign, and alternative #DNS #TLD chn. ? There is a #Wikipedia article in Chinese. I am unsure if it is actually something actively pursued in #China to step up their #Internet #control game. Or if it was merely a financial asset to attract venture capital?

Would love some insights from more knowledable people.

Just scraping the #IANA assigned TLDs and the corresponding documented #nameservers. What I don't get is, why so many companies apply for a #TLD. It's not particularly cheap to apply for one of those ngTLDs, yet compared to the company sizes, it's probably pennies. Is it a prestige investment? Is it a digital resource to grab, before someone else does it?

Other than #Microsoft, #Google, and #AWS, I've rarely seen any ngTLD representing a corporation's name to actually be used in practice.

Does anyone in the #infosec community share their view?

Reaching out to anyone who configured their DNS transport protocol. If you intentionally configured your home router's or your devices DNS service, what did you pick, and why?

Please retoot for reach.

This thread here suggests that more activity might be expected again from the #OpenNIC parallel #DNS #root .

Not sure, if more activity, and a reborn of the #OpenNICproject leads to less or more abuse from the system. Any opinions from the #infosec community?

Is there any great book on #AlpineLinux ? I love the concept, and love the considerations of the operating system. Yet, I usually opt for #Debian since I am much more familiar with it. It would be great to change that in the mid-term.

Posted about it yesterday already. But it looks like archive.today shows the default page of #Apache #webserver on #Ubuntu. The alternative domain name archive.is instead redirects with a 301 - Moved Permanently to a new domain krola.org, a website apparently comparing pet rabbit species?? It's also interesting, that the redirect to the new domain responds with an #HTTP header server: nginx/1.18 (Ubuntu). Apparently, the default Apache landing page also returns the same HTTP header information on the server. Perhaps the landing page is a decoy/deflection?

Anyone on #infosecexchange has any speculations on the website?

Is it just me or is every demo/overview of the #FlipperZero extremely unimpressive (especially those for a mainstream audience).

I regretfully watched one such video earlier and one of the features highlighted was the ability to copy TV remote signals  ...I get it was aimed at a non-technical audience but I literally had a watch that could do that when I was a kid and to this day grandparents around the world have universal remotes with this capability...

So I want to put it out there to the #infosec community - where are the cool flipper zero #projects? And I don't mean installing #DOOM or some other quirky play thing. I want to see legit #RF #hacking, or at least using the #GPIO!

Does anyone know how booting Linux in FIPS mode gains any use or security from the `.vmlinuz.hmac` file? The interweb has no info at all.

It's a basic SHA of the vmlinuz file, but it has no way to verify authenticity or integrity of the hash, and is distributed with the thing it supposedly verifies. How does that have any purpose?
