LameHug malware uses AI LLM to craft Windows data-theft commands in real-time

A novel malware family named LameHug is using a large language model (LLM) to generate commands to be executed on compromised Windows systems. LameHug was discovered by Ukraine’s national cyber incident response team (CERT-UA) and attributed the attacks to Russian state-backed threat group APT28 (a.k.a. Sednit, Sofacy, Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear, STRONTIUM, Tsar Team, Forest Blizzard). The malware is written in Python and relies on the Hugging Face API to interact with the Qwen 2.5-Coder-32B-Instr

Get the macOS Finder to Do Just About Anything by Typing Natural Language Commands

I'm genuinely not sure if large language models—often referred to as “AI” in shorthand—are the future of computing. But I also don't think chatbots are how people will use this technology in the years to come. Substage, an indie Mac application by developer Joseph Humfrey, is a simple app that points to a potential alternative—one that's useful right now. This application floats under every Finder window, meaning you see it only when you're browsing files in macOS. You can type English-languag

Gboard could make it much easier to type and edit even without touching your phone (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google reveals more clues about its improved voice typing feature in Gboard. While Gboard already allows using basic voice commands for editing text, the improved feature could use AI for smarter edits. This feature could be powered by Gemini Nano, allowing for quick, on-device editing with voice. As Google readies the upcoming Pixel 10 series of phones, we’re witnessing increasingly more signs hinting at contextual uses of AI across many of its apps

What Microchip doesn't (officially) tell you about the VSC8512

Switch project, part 3 - what Microchip doesn't (officially) tell you about the VSC8512 2025-07-04 08:00 This is part 3 of my ongoing series about LATENTRED, my project to create an open source 1U managed Ethernet switch from scratch. Here’s a quick, or maybe not-so-quick, update about the PHY on the line card and some of my troubles (and solutions). And probably more internal details than you want to know, but hey - maybe this will be useful to somebody. Not a lot of pretty pictures either.

This Robot Dog Is as Good at Walking as I Am at Being a Robot Dog

Aren’t pets such a drag? I mean, really. They’re all furry, and cute, and innocent. And you have to feed them and love them, and respect their autonomy and basic needs. For what? Borderline unconditional love? Who’s got time for all that? Certainly not me. My job is computer, and I need efficiency—a practical companion that’s alive when I want it to be and shutting the f**k up when I need to have the TPS report filed by EOD so corporate can circle back on the EOY roadmap. You got all that? Me ne

The first 5 Linux commands every new user should learn

Jay Dickman/Getty Images I remember when I started using Linux in the late 1990s. Back then, using the command line wasn't optional. If you worked with the open-source operating system, you had to spend time in the terminal. Using the command line in the past was challenging because there wasn't as much help as today. I was pretty much on my own. Thankfully, I struggled through and became proficient. With the help of man pages (manual pages for commands), I survived those early days. Of course

Claude Code now supports hooks

Customize and extend Claude Code’s behavior by registering shell commands Claude Code hooks are user-defined shell commands that execute at various points in Claude Code’s lifecycle. Hooks provide deterministic control over Claude Code’s behavior, ensuring certain actions always happen rather than relying on the LLM to choose to run them. Example use cases include: Notifications : Customize how you get notified when Claude Code is awaiting your input or permission to run something. : Customi

Rust CLI with Clap

Types Define Interfaces Types are important. In fact, I'd guess that the expressive type system in rust is the single biggest reason why so many developers love the language. Types allow us to have a contract between parts of the system about our data and how to interact with it. All programming languages have the concept of types, but these exist along several dimensions. Strongly typed vs weakly typed as well as static vs dynamic typing. Rust stakes out its place as a statically, strongly typ

Ars reflects on Apollo 13 turning 30

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Oscar-winning film, Apollo 13, director Ron Howard's masterful love letter to NASA's Apollo program in general and the eponymous space mission in particular. So we're taking the opportunity to revisit this riveting homage to American science, ingenuity, and daring. (Spoilers below.) Apollo 13 is a fictional retelling of the aborted 1970 lunar mission that became a "successful failure" for NASA because all three astronauts made it back to Earth a

New FileFix attack weaponizes Windows File Explorer for stealthy commands

A cybersecurity researcher has developed FileFix, a variant of the ClickFix social engineering attack that tricks users into executing malicious commands via the File Explorer address bar in Windows. FileFix, a variation of the social-engineering attack called ClickFix, allows threat actors to execute commands on the victim system through the File Explorer address bar in Windows. Cybersecurity researcher mr.d0x discovered the new method and demonstrated that it could be used in attacks targeti

Cataphract: Medieval-fantasy roleplaying wargame, in the Black-Sea C. 1300

Cataphracts Design Diary #1 Cataphracts commanders: there is no actionable intelligence in this post. Read on. About two months ago, I reread several series on military historian Bret Devereaux’s blog, ACOUP: analyses of Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith, breakdowns of pre-modern command and pre-modern logistics, and, of course, a post simply titled “How Fast Do Armies Move?”. I’m a fan of Devereaux’s—he writes in that delicious space of really knowing his history yet also with the understanding he

New to MacOS? 8 beginner tips and tricks to try first - and why

Kerry Wan/ZDNET If you're considering a migration from Windows 11 to MacOS, you're in for a treat, as Apple's operating system is so much more user-friendly, stable, secure, and better designed than Microsoft's. When you first log into your new MacOS device, you should feel instantly at home. You'll instinctively understand how things work and won't have a problem getting up to speed. That doesn't mean, however, that there aren't a few quick tips you should know to make the experience even eas

The curious case of shell commands, or how "this bug is required by POSIX" (2021)

About the fatal perils and traps of many modern tools that handle "shell commands" as passed through system(3) or sh -c . Or, how by the end of 2020, we still haven't given up on shell's equivalent "SQL building", or how shell's equivalent "SQL injection" still thrives in our engineering world... Plus a glibc bug, then a Linux man pages bug, then a POSIX specification bug... If you appreciate the insights shared in this article and you or your company are facing technical challenges or seeking
