I’ve been keeping an eye on this scene for a while now, eagerly awaiting the release of Fusée Gelée from Kate Temkin since she revealed the capabilities of the flaw.

A post by Brian Krebs on his site, https://krebsonsecurity.com prompted me to write up a post as well. He accurately recommends not answering those Social Networking questionnaires that ask for things like “What was your first car?” or “What was your favorite teacher’s name?”, with accurate (or even ANY) details. I’m sure for many people, it’s already too late, so there is definitely another alternative: Go back to any site where you did answer these common questions, & change the answers to something else, i.e.: the answer to a different question, or just garbage text.

Abraham Masri (iabem97) has revealed a new flaw in Apple latest iOS 11.3 beta, allowing an Info.plist file to grab a file outside of the current application’s sandbox. Granted this is a beta OS, but still, this is another example of Apple seemingly rushing a release, & having all sorts of flaws. This is just the latest one.

After a little trial & error, I was finally able to get an SSH server running on Android through Termux. Some help from the following three articles as well: Glow.li: Run an SSH server on your Android with Termux Termux Help: Using SSH webOS Internals: Dropbear Install You have to make sure you have the openssh package installed. If not, run pkg install openssh. Then start the service via sshd. Something I didn’t realize at first was that the default port was changed to 8022, instead of the standard 22.
