I mostly post, over at https://twitter.com/vmlemon, and maintained a blog, at https://vmlemon.wordpress.com. Also on BlueSky (@vmlemon.bsky.social).
Assuming that this Mastodon server remains online, in the future, this account mostly exists, as a fallback, in case other services ever go away.
Well, apparently #microsoft #Sharepoint now has the ability to scan inside of password-protected zip archives.
How do I know? Because I have a lot of Zips (encrypted with a password) that contain malware, and my typical method of sharing those is to upload those passworded Zips into a Sharepoint directory.
This morning, I discovered that a couple of password-protected Zips are flagged as "Malware detected" which limits what I can do with those files - they are basically dead space now.
While I totally understand doing this for anyone other than a malware analyst, this kind of nosy, get-inside-your-business way of handling this is going to become a big problem for people like me who need to send their colleagues malware samples. The available space to do this just keeps shrinking and it will impact the ability of malware researchers to do their jobs.
Interesting times ahead, for Mastodon, Laconica, and Diaspora, I guess, now that BlueSky threw down the gauntlet, with https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app, just now.
Will FaceBook Open Platform make a resurgence, or will Twitter suddenly reverse course, and become more open?
This is a very nice introduction to the Android virtualisation methods and apps which highlights the common problems with using them
