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.

Yeeesssss…..

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:

it may be possible to use this for malicious purposes with the right skill set, so please use it responsibly =)

This one needs to go viral. Aged well huh?

Test stand is pretty roasted. It is going to take some work to get back up and running.

A recent intense Russian airstrike in Kyiv severely damaged a building used by Boeing, per Financial Times. Boeing is one of the most prominent American businesses present in Ukraine, with its operations largely focused on engineering and technical support

Update: YouTube has just reinstated the video, after what I presume is a human review process. I wish it didn't take making noise on socials to get past the 'AI deny' process :(

Go forth, and self-host all the things! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hFas54xFtg

finally some good news

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

Got an amazing photo while feeding them this morning.

I have this old Ant Watchers Manual as I love old ant keeping books. One of the girls helped by posing with it.

Pretty cool that the same people who told us 2 years ago that native apps are dead, let's do everything via the web are now telling us actually the web is dead too, let's do everything via an LLM

Versions 2.2.3 and 2.3.0 of Pipeline was released. Pipeline now hides videos which require payment by default. If you are using an external video player, you can spawn it again by clicking the thumbnail of the video instead of going back to the feed and clicking the video again. Startup performance of Pipeline also has been significantly improved. Those releases also fix quite a few bugs. For details about those, consult the changelog: https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-mobile/pipeline/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md.
