Fedora Considers Reducing The Scope That BIOS Systems Can Hold Up A Release
Given that non-UEFI BIOS systems are quite old at this point and Intel/AMD systems for the past number of years have all supported UEFI, another change proposal being considered this week by Fedoa Linux is limiting the release-blocking status of various (non-UEFI) BIOS systems...

Difficult to explain how completely incomprehensible this headline would have been a decade ago.

Trump’s tax law by the numbers: $1 trillion less for Medicaid, $75 billion more for ICE https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/070825_tax_bill_numbers/trumps-tax-law-by-numbers-1-trillion-less-medicaid-75-billion-more-ice/
President Trump's sweeping tax-and-spending law, which renews tax breaks that largely benefited corporations and the wealthy, also contains sharp increases in spending on immigration enforcement and steep cuts to government programs that serve lower-income Americans.

Unveiled at #TROOPERS25 - Hexagon fuzzing unlocked
Hexagon is the architecture in Qualcomm basebands - they power most of the world's leading smartphones.
Until now, this baseband was out of reach.
We released the first open-source toolchain for system-mode Hexagon fuzzing, presented by Luca Glockow (@luglo), Rachna Shriwas, and Bruno Produit (@bruno) at @WEareTROOPERS
Full post: https://www.srlabs.de/blog-post/hexagon-fuzz-full-system-emulated-fuzzing-of-qualcomm-basebands
How we opened up mobile firmware in 3 steps:
1. Boot real iPhone basebands with a custom QEMU fork
2. Rust-powered fuzzer controls execution via JSON configs
3. Ghidra integration maps coverage across threads
This brings full visibility to Qualcomm’s 4G/5G/GPS stacks.
Reproducible. Extendable. Open source.
Hexagon’s no longer off-limits - mobile security just got a lot more transparent.

I did a thing. while working on native NFC capabilities, i ended up writing a test program which reads all the info from EMV cards (such as Visa/Master/Amex) and dumps it to try and learn the payload.
the info shown in the #GTK interface is fairly basic mostly as demo, but it dumps a lot more to the shell:
