We are continuing to expand our focus on IT security at @HomeOfResearch and are looking to appoint a professor in the field of information security as soon as possible.

Aus gegebenem Anlass: Die Älteren unter Euch erinnern sich sicher noch an die Zulassungspflicht für Telekommunikationsgeräte in Deutschland. Nicht von der Post (genauer: dem BZT) zugelassene Modems waren ganz, ganz schlimm verboten.
In meinem Kopfkanon ist das Pesthörnchen des @CCC ein Resultat dieser Zulassungspflicht (weiß nicht, ob @erd das kanonisieren kann).
Turns out: Geschichte wiederholt sich. Demnächst fahren also FCC-Wagen durch die Städte und kontrollieren auf Fremdrouter.
Digitale Souveränität
Solange Entscheider lieber unterschreiben, was sie kennen, statt zu gestalten, was sie könnten, bleibt digitale Souveränität ein PR‑Begriff in Strategiepapieren. Technisch ist sie längst erreichbar. Der Engpass liegt nicht im Rechenzentrum – er sitzt im Konferenzraum.

Signal Boost: If you are willing to fix any of the #Wayland related issues I describe in https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2026-01-04-wayland-sway-in-2026/, I am willing to sponsor the hardware you need for it, e.g. high-res monitor, GPU, PC, etc. and/or pay a bounty for the fix itself.
See https://lobste.rs/s/5pkjai/wayland_set_linux_desktop_back_by_10_years#c_4cpf8q for details and reach out; thanks in advance.
My goal is that #Linux works better, but I can’t do it alone. Let’s improve it together!
The discovery of the longest pattern ever for DDR5 Rowhammer flips! 😱
Join us for Kaveh Razavi’s talk “Rowhammer bit flips a decade later”:
📅 April 1st, 2026 | 11:00
📍 CCG Seminar room, CCGEG002
Abstract:
The first Rowhammer exploit was published a little more than a decade ago on a DDR3-based system. Since then, we have had two generations of DRAM technology with proprietary mitigations. In this talk, I present our journey in understanding the security guarantees of these mitigations in DDR4 and DDR5 devices through significant platform building efforts, painstaking reverse engineering, and creative system-level techniques. The results are not encouraging; DRAM is as insecure as a decade ago while the cost of independent security analysis is growing beyond what academia can do. I finish with a brief discussion of possible paths forward.
