The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header provides crucial insight into the origin of web requests. The header works as a mechanism for conveying the original source IP addresses of clients, and not just across one hop, but through chains of multiple intermediaries. This list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is helpful to understand where requests have really come from in scenarios where they traverse several servers, proxies, or load balancers. A typical HTTP request goes on a bit of a journey, traversi

The Meme Stocks Are Back and May Have Found Their New ‘Roaring Kitty’

It seems meme stocks are back, and this time, the latest craze was sparked—somewhat accidentally—by a Canadian hedge fund manager named Eric Jackson. About three weeks ago, Jackson’s firm, EMJ Capital, bought shares of Opendoor Technologies, a San Francisco–based company that buys and sells homes online, at around $0.70 apiece. Since then, the company’s share price has skyrocketed over 600% to an intraday high of almost $5 on July 21. Today, it’s trading at about $2.40, still a roughly 250% gai

Reindeer Flee to Cities as the Arctic Bakes in Unprecedented Heatwave

James Gunn knows that most people are familiar with Superman’s origin story, which is why DC Studios’ new feature about the Man of Steel opens at a point when he has already become a world famous superhero.

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them

Credit: Getty Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature, according to a survey. The findings suggest that there is a need for increased awareness of how and why to share such data, as well as for changes in how research productivity is assessed. The survey drew responses from 11,069 researchers in 166 countries and all major scientific disciplines. It found that 98% recognize the value of null results, which the su

The Best Samsung Phones of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Other Samsung Phones to Consider Galaxy A36. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu If you don't see a Samsung phone mentioned in this guide, that might be because it's not sold in the US and is a little harder to source for testing. But here are a few other Samsung phones I've tried to consider. Samsung Galaxy A36 5G for $400: The Galaxy A36 (6/10, WIRED Review) doesn't quite measure up to its peers from Nothing and Motorola.

Paramount Has a $1.5 Billion ‘South Park’ Problem

The same day Paramount announced a five-year streaming deal with South Park, including 50 new episodes, the show’s 27th season premiere mercilessly mocked both President Trump and the network for capitulating to his demands, s

Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot resigns following Coldplay 'kiss cam' incident

Understanding the Caffeine Intake in Drip Coffee vs. Espresso

A great cup of coffee can vary widely depending on how it's made and which roast is used. Getting that caffeine fix you need in the morning can be done in so many ways. But there are two preparation styles that are all too popular: the traditional drip-style brew and the quick-fix espresso. If you've been wondering which might be the right fit for you, here's a useful breakdown to help you understand how much caffeine you might be consuming -- and where to draw the line.

Study sheds light on why some people keep self-sabotaging

Most people, after suffering consequences for a bad decision, will alter their future behavior to avoid a similar negative outcome. That's just common sense. But many social circles have that one friend who never seems to learn from those consequences, repeatedly self-sabotaging themselves with the same bad decisions. When it comes to especially destructive behaviors, like addictions, the consequences can be severe or downright tragic. Why do they do this? Researchers at the University of New S

A Premium Luggage Service’s Web Bugs Exposed the Travel Plans of Every User—Including Diplomats

An airline leaving all of its passengers’ travel records vulnerable to hackers would make an attractive target for espionage. Less obvious, but perhaps even more useful for those spies, would be access to a premium travel service that spans 10 different airlines, left its own detailed flight information accessible to data thieves, and seems to be favored by international diplomats. That's what one team of cybersecurity researchers found in the form of Airportr, a UK-based luggage service that p
