A German court has ruled that Google is liable for the false statements generated by its AI Overviews feature. The ruling could have massive impacts on the world's biggest search engine, which recently doubled down on giving users AI-generated results. www.wired.com/story/a-cour...

A Court Has Ruled That Google Is Liable for False Statements Generated by AI Overviews

The ruling holds that a company that designs, trains, operates, and manages an AI system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by the responses it generates.

Did you know Windows has built-in RAM disk? And not just your regular RAM disk. It's pmem/nvdimm, via built-in scmbus.sys facility! That means you can make 🦆🦆🦆 #dax volume, so data/image mappings (section views) will use "drive" directly! No data persistence, no w10; only ws2022/w11+. EZ 📀 create:

Collage of screenshots showing how to enable emulated ramdisk and set its size via registry parameters for scmbus.sys.
Also shown: how to create partition and properly format the DAX volume.


1. Create ramdisk of 0x1234_MB:

cmd /v/c"set R=reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\scmbus /f /v&!R! CreateSimulatedRamdiskRootDevice /t 4 /d 1 &!R! RamdiskSizeInBytes /t 11 /d 0x123400000 &sc start scmbus"

(reboot required, unless you're lucky).


2. Create parition as usual:

list disk
select disk NNNN
convert gpt
create partition primary
assign letter X:


3. And format volume with DAX support:

format X: /fs:ntfs /Q /L /DAX

Heard of #ContextJail? It's a nasty new technique: puts target thread into ⓪ deadloop, for as long as you can afford. Requires THREAD_GET_CONTEXT right. The gist? Just spam NtGetContextThread(tgt).😸 Target will be jailed, running nt!PspGetSetContextSpecialApc 🔁. Src & binary in [ALT]. Usecases: ⤵️

Screenshot of contextjail.exe running with default arguments.


Highlighted:

* prisoner thread (latched to CPU1 with priority 15) couldn't run for the entire test duration (30 seconds).

* 99 jailer threads (latched to 6/8 processors, CPU2..CPU7) were using 20% of total CPU time.


Overlay: pseudo-ASSCII art with prisoner thread and 6 jailer threads (guards), spamming NtGetContextThread to block the prisoner.

Hey all 👋 This year I'll try to stick to Thread Thursdays, which is every Thursday I'll post a thread about #rustlang fundamentals 🦀 My goal is to help you learn 1% more Rust each Thursday, so follow me if you'd like to read them 🦋 Here are some of the best threads so far 🧵👇

We've open-sourced another core Binary Ninja feature: SCC. If you're not familiar with it, the Shellcode Compiler has been built-in to BN from the beginning, allowing you to build small PIE shellcode in a variety of architectures right from the UI: scc.binary.ninja (Source: github.com/Vector35/scc)

Shellcode Compiler Runtime

The Shellcode Compiler is a C compiler designed to output standalone code that will be injected into other running processes. It contains a small, lightweight runtime that is designed to generate…
