0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) lacks built-in trust, leaving the Internet routing layer exposed to accidental or malicious prefix hijacks. Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) addresses that problem by letting address space holders cryptographically authorize which Autonomous System (AS) may originate their prefixes, via Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) published through a chain of trust anchored at the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). While most ROAs are published directly by the RIRs, a long tail of smaller, independently operated publication servers (run by cloud providers, ISPs,…

🔥 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: The problem and why it resisted the usual induction For pairwise-coprime integers a,b,c>1a,b,c>1a,b,c>1, consider the numbers aibjck(i,j,k≥0). a^i b^j c^k \qquad (i,j,k\ge 0). aibjck(i,j,k≥0). The question asks whether every sufficiently large integer is a sum of distinct such numbers, with the additional requirement that no chosen summand divides another. The divisibility condition is the real source of difficulty. Ordinary completeness arguments can use many terms from different scales, but terms from different scales tend to be comparable by divisibility. Conversely, a set chosen to be…

💥 Explore this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Description: Insufficient inbound packet filtering in subnet routers and exit nodes What happened? In Tailscale versions earlier than 1.66.0, exit nodes, subnet routers, and app connectors, could allow inbound connections to other tailnet nodes from their local area network (LAN). This vulnerability only affects Linux exit nodes, subnet routers, and app connectors in tailnets where ACLs allow "src": "*", such as with default ACLs. Tailscale version 1.66.0 fixes the vulnerability. Additionally, a server-side update changes the interpretation of "src": "*" to mitigate the issue specifically…
