European governments: 3.000 tracking sites, 1.000 phpMyAdmins, and 99% poorly encrypted email. Introducing SecurityBaseline.eu - Internet Cleanup Foundation

On May 13, 2026, the website SecurityBaseline.eu was launched. It is a spin-off from the Dutch “Basisbeveiliging”, which has monitored baseline security for over a decade and is part of governmental policy. Three months ago we sent tens of thousands of e-mails to European governments indicating the new site would launch, giving them time to […]

Vortrag auf dem VCFe 25:

BBC im FPGA

Der BBC Computer auf Basis des 6502 war für seine Zeit eine komplexe Maschine. Der Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über den Computer und die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen in der Entwicklung beim Nachbau im FPGA. Das Floppy Interface benutzt keinen Standard Controller wie den WD1770, sondern ist komplett im FPGA integriert.

DNSSEC saves the “eth.limo" domain from being hijacked:

https://easydns.com/blog/2026/04/18/we-screwed-up-and-we-own-it-the-eth-limo-shtshow-is-on-us/

As this was a social engineering attack, the attacker could have changed the DS-record in the “limo" TLD as well, but did not know or forgot …

We screwed up and we own it: The eth.limo sh*tshow is on us. - easyDNS

It's never a good sign when you wake up on a Saturday morning and realize your phone has been blowing up since about 4am. Instead of spewing out the usual GPT-generated platitudes around "we take your security very seriously" (even though that is true), I'm just going to lay it…

👉 Coming soon: fully updated TLS test in new version of Internet.nl

From Tuesday, April 21, 2026, you can use Internet.nl to check whether the secure connection for your website or email is compliant with the *latest* TLS guidelines from @NCSC_NL (https://www.ncsc.nl/en/transport-layer-security/ICT-beveiligingsrichtlijnen-voor-TLS.).

This means that websites and email servers that previously passed the test may now need further improvements.

Vortrag:  Programmieren auf dem Mupid-BTX-Decoder

Der Mupid war ein intelligenter BTX-Decoder der 1980er-Jahre. Dank eines P-Code-Interpreters ermöglichte er lange vor dem Internet interaktive, netzwerkfähige Anwendungen. Der Vortrag beleuchtet die Hardware, die Programmierung in Basic sowie Maschinensprache und zeigt anhand von Beispielen, wie damals Applikationen entstanden, die weit über statische Infoseiten hinausgingen.
