Just had an internal web application break, and when I dug in through DevTools there was some dependent fetch running into a server error. The server error message provided the internal DRI contact to reach out to for how to engage and report.
This is so. smart. If you've figured out the DRI contact by going through DevTools, you clearly don't need any central helpdesk support on basic troubleshooting like checking your adblocker.

The cat's out of the bag! My latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits", is available in early access:

It's the reference I wish I had when I was starting out. Electrons to embedded systems, 290+ color illustrations and 420+ pages of well-explained theory.
Hyperbridge exploited two weeks after April Fools' hack joke

this is a lovely post, where someone takes formally verified code, fuzzes it, and finds real problems.
while reading the piece, I was thinking about my own very similar experience ~15 years ago fuzzing CompCert. and then the author makes this precise comparison :)

PowerShell Desired State Configuration supports a feature I'm very proud of: you can tell nodes to only allow configuration documents signed by a specified publisher. So if the host these things are pulling their configuration documents from gets popped, you have no risk of company-wide remote code execution unless they also got your signing key.
This saves you from attacks like this that leverage trusted internal supply chains like Group Policy: https://blog.quest.com/how-attackers-abuse-group-policy-and-how-to-thwart-them/
If you have more than a passing interest in PowerShell, I can't recommend this book enough. It goes into the fantastic whirlwind of what it took to bring PowerShell to life, and Don captured the history so incredibly well.
