It is used not only as archive files, but also as the container for other file formats, including office documents, Android applications, Java archives, and many more. Despite its ubiquity, the ZIP file format specification is imprecisely specified, posing the risk of semantic gaps between implementations that can be exploited by attackers.

Marshal madness: A brief history of Ruby deserialization exploits

The story of deserialization exploits in Ruby’s Marshal module offers a uniquely well-documented case study of this phenomenon. That is, a decade-long cycle of patches and bypasses that reveals the futility of addressing symptoms rather than root causes. This history matters bec

SpaceX Is Losing a Staggering Amount of Money Every Time One of Its Starships Explodes

Time is ticking for SpaceX's Starship. Even after nearly ten launches, the behemoth spacecraft has yet to successfully visit space and then come safely back to Earth even a single time — but NASA is nonetheless relying on it to ferry astronauts from the Moon's orbit down to the surface just over two years from now. Given Starship's track record so far — nine full-scale test flights have ended in explosions shortly after launch, explosions in space, and crashes into the ocean — it's a steep goa

I've been doing this for a few years now and while I struggled (as everyone does) in the beginning, I can't imagine not exercising in the morning now.

SpaceX aims to expand its Starship operations to Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a goal of launching 44 super heavy-lift rockets per year.

The next Starship flight will test much more than hardware

SpaceX is gearing up to launch its massive Starship rocket from South Texas, a test that gives the company a chance to reverse a brutal few months of mishaps on the ground and in the air. The last Starship test flight was nearly three months ago, and it notched a milestone: the first reuse of a Super Heavy booster. But that mission ended with the upper stage, also called Starship, or Ship, breaking apart on reentry and the booster exploding over the Gulf during the landing burn phase of flight.

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Finally Doing What the Movies Have Not

At their core, most of the Alien movies are about corporate greed. The lengths a company, mainly Weyland-Yutani, will go to harness and exploit a power from the deepest reaches of space. Whether that means sacrificing a whole ship of employees, a platoon of soldiers, families, criminals, or cloning dead people, almost every story in the Alien saga is about the idea that getting an alien back to Earth would be a huge benefit to the bottom line of the company.
