9 days after Inauguration Day, 404 Media wrote about how this declassified World War II-era government guide to sabotaging fascism became one of the most popular open source books on the internet.
One of our top stories this year. Happie holidays <3 https://www.404media.co/declassified-cia-guide-to-sabotaging-fascism-is-suddenly-viral/
"In this sweeping history, Tiffany Jenkins, an acclaimed cultural historian, takes readers on an epic journey, from the strict separations of public and private in ancient Athens to the moral rigidity of the Victorian home, and from the feminists of the 1970s who declared that ‘the personal is political’ to the boundary-blurring demands of our digital age."

"Trump nem sequer citaria Bolsonaro em sua cartinha caso desse a mínima para o capitão de chumbeta. Não dá. Só mais um instrumento de 'negociação', só mais um peão. Sabia bem o que aconteceria como consequência da bravata: Moraes dobraria a aposta (...), Bolsonaro que se dane, e Luiz Inácio… bem. A corda é serventia da casa. Enviada pelos EUA, sim, mas Made in China."
leitura tardia, valeu cada página.
"Here is what I have wanted to tell you all along: the people you wish to be haunted by will not always haunt you. And you will be lonely and hungry and cold. And all the sounds you hear, especially around the dusk hour, will seem notably unhuman. But it will all be worth it. No regrets. None at all. Look at this place."

High Boy isn’t just a tool it’s a truly multifunctional pentest gadget built for real-world use. It brings together Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RF, NFC, infrared, and more, all in one compact, practical, and powerful device. Inspired by the spirit of the Flipper Zero but with a 100% Brazilian soul, High Boy was created to push things further: it’s open source, open hardware, and fully powered by the ESP32-S3 built for makers, hackers, and anyone who loves to experiment. Whether you’re an ethical hacker, a maker, a security researcher, an engineer, a tech enthusiast, or just someone who loves to tinker, High Boy becomes your everyday pocket companion. And he’s not alone: Octobit, our mascot, pops in with tips, fun moments, and a friendly personality that adds charm to the whole experience. High Boy is more than a device it represents a new phase of hardware hacking in Brazil. A symbol of national creativity, a growing community, and the drive to put Brazilian open technology on the m
os poetas vão dominar o mundo, quem diria...
We present evidence that adversarial poetry functions as a universal single-turn jailbreak technique for Large Language Models (LLMs). Across 25 frontier proprietary and open-weight models, curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90%. Mapping prompts to MLCommons and EU CoP risk taxonomies shows that poetic attacks transfer across CBRN, manipulation, cyber-offence, and loss-of-control domains. Converting 1,200 MLCommons harmful prompts into verse via a standardized meta-prompt produced ASRs up to 18 times higher than their prose baselines. Outputs are evaluated using an ensemble of 3 open-weight LLM judges, whose binary safety assessments were validated on a stratified human-labeled subset. Poetic framing achieved an average jailbreak success rate of 62% for hand-crafted poems and approximately 43% for meta-prompt conversions (compared to non-poetic baselines), substantially outperforming non-poetic baselines and revealing a systematic vulnerability across model families and safety training approaches. These findings demonstrate that stylistic variation alone can circumvent contemporary safety mechanisms, suggesting fundamental limitations in current alignment methods and evaluation protocols.
