As 2024 marks the resurgence of RSS and Atom, I decided to update my rudimentary RSS tools from 2007 to make them contemporary and works under Python 3. The release v1.0 marks this step and allow everyone to use and improve the RSS toolset.

So the CRA is becoming even a more a complex beast for the open source communities, so sponsorship is going there too and then applicable to CRA...

Open source should have been totally excluded which would have forced vendors to go for open source.

A very good point by a free software developer at #FOSDEM that the CRA is forcing small paid developers to join foundation to avoid the legal inconveniences... the impact is clearly not small.

Recapping the state of vendors' VPN appliances:

  • They don't maintain their software
  • They accept money from their customer for maintenance
  • They don't provide patch or update for their customer
  • Don't proactively review the code

Yet organisations question open source?

We had the great pleasure of welcoming Luc Dandurand, the new Head of the NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and members of his team at our premises.

Saâd Kadhi, the Head of CERT-EU, provided an overview of our operations and highlighted the range of services and support we extend to our constituents, the 90 EU institutions, bodies, and agencies. He further elaborated on our evolving role as the Cybersecurity Service for these EU entities, in line with the recent Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2023/2841 (for more info read here : https://www.cert.europa.eu/blog/harder-better-faster-stronger).

The visit sparked an engaging exchange of insights with our NCSC colleagues on current cybersecurity topics of mutual interest. We delved into discussions about how to better leverage the technical arrangement which we jointly established in 2016.

In summary, the visit was productive. It set the stage for an even tighter collaboration between our two entities. This will allow us to better serve our respective constituencies and keep threats at bay.

I released a new version of the DomainClassifier python library with improved performance and built-in caching. Thanks to @terrtia for the contribution.

DomainClassifier is a simple Python library to extract and classify Internet domains/hostnames/IP addresses from raw unstructured text files following their existence, localization or attributes.

DomainClassifier can be used to extract Internet hosts from any free texts or collected unstructured information. It's for example used in @ail_project to guess all potential hostname/domain from any text.

I think the @jwz famous quote about regular expressions can be applicable to docker nowadays.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use docker." Now they have two problems.

Great news! The long-awaited Regulation laying down measures for a high common level of cybersecurity at the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union enters into force. The Regulation, first of its kind, aims at boosting the overall cybersecurity resilience of the Union administration.

Moreover, it signals a new era for CERT-EU. Remaining true to our “Think constituent, create value” ethos, the new rules not only affirm CERT-EU’s crucial role but elevates it to become the inter-institutional cybersecurity service for all EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies.

So Broadcom, the new VMware owner in less than a quarter changes the licence model to subscription only, and kicks out most service and sales partner, informing them on the quick that their contracts will be terminated and not renewed. Or perhaps, nobody exactly knows.

That literally screams build your business on closed source products, doesn't it?

They call the #GPL anti business , but somehow the mainstream is quite okay to overlook unacceptable behaviour from the big players?

« Et Chomsky de conclure :

“ChatGPT fait preuve de quelque chose comme la banalité du mal : plagiat, apathie, évitement […] Ce système offre une défense du type ‘je ne fais que suivre les ordres’ en rejetant la responsabilité sur ses créateurs.”Pour en avoir le cœur net, je suis allé demander à ChatGPT s’il connaissait l’idée de banalité du mal et s’il se sentait concerné. Voilà ce qu’il m’a répondu : “Il est vrai que je suis un outil créé par des humains, et par conséquent, je peux refléter les limites et les biais de mes créateurs et des données sur lesquelles je suis entraîné.” Une intelligence servile et sans pensée, c’est en effet une bonne définition de la banalité du mal. Et de l’intelligence artificielle ? »

Why many open source OSINT tools have this bad practice of outputting non parseable text with blinking or crappy ANSI character set? Is this because of TV series?

This one aged pretty well. IMHO, it's more true now than ever.
