Redmine is an open-source, Ruby on Rails–based project management and issue-tracking platform. Because it exposes a rich web interface, REST APIs, e-mail integration, source-control browsing, and pluggable extensions, it has accumulated a substantial — but actively managed — vulnerability history.…
A Linux practitioner visits the ALASCA Summit 2025 — and finds Europe's sovereign infrastructure further along than expected.
Kernel hardening for the rest of us For years, the best runtime memory protection available for Linux was locked behind a commercial licence. grsecurity’s PaX patchset — the gold standard for mitigating memory safety vulnerabilities — went closed-source in April…
A FUSE-based virtual filesystem that presents the entire PyPI ecosystem as a Portage overlay. Mount it, and emerge dev-python/requests works — for any of the 750,000+ packages on PyPI that ship source distributions. No ebuilds to write. No pip behind Portage's back.
Python’s packaging ecosystem faces a vast and growing attack surface spanning the entire lifecycle from package publication through runtime execution. This taxonomy documents over 100 distinct attack vectors organized across 11 categories, drawn from real-world incidents (2023–2025), published CVEs, and…
