In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.

Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.

RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.

Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.

It was always DNS.

Revealing piece on the scale and scope of AI-induced psychosis:

"There seem to be three common delusions [..]. The most frequent is the belief that they have created the first conscious AI. The second is a conviction that they have stumbled upon a major breakthrough in their field of work or interest and are going to make millions. The third relates to spirituality and the belief that they are speaking directly to God. “We’ve seen full-blown cults getting created”

At the grocery store and overheard an elderly lady talking to her friend:

"I just created my first tick tack video planting flowers in March. It got twelve thousand views! My granddaughter told me I'm now a content creator. I guess I need to make more tick tacks."

Now this is how you write a lede!

NEW: We spoke to a few iPhone security experts about what the discovery of DarkSword means to the long-held assumption that iPhones are very hard to hack.

The answer is nuanced, and not simple. Apple has made significant strides in making iPhones more secure, but DarkSword may change how we think.
