New Phoenix attack bypasses Rowhammer defenses in DDR5 memory

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-27 05:01:24

Academic researchers have devised a new variant of Rowhammer attacks that bypass the latest protection mechanisms on DDR5 memory chips from SK Hynix. A Rowhammer attack works by repeatedly accessing specific rows of memory cells at high-speed read/write operations to cause enough electrical interference to alter the value of the nearby bits from one to zero and vice-versa (bit flipping). An attacker could potentialluy corrupt data, increase their privileges on the system, execute malicious cod

Beyond package management: How Nix refactored my digital life

(You can find my Nix config over on Github) I'm a disorganised person. My workflow is to bounce around a codebase for days/weeks at a time and when I come up for air I'll usually have left a slew of configs, tools, scripts, repos scattered around my computer like the socks near the bed, or the pile of paperwork on my desk. After a while I reach a point where it all becomes unmanageable. I'll wade on (unproductively) until I can't go any further, then reset my laptop and spend a week reconfiguri

Unix Conspiracy (1991)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-08 18:48:12

[ITS] According to a conspiracy theory long popular among ITS and TOPS-20 fans, Unix's growth is the result of a plot, hatched during the 1970s at Bell Labs, whose intent was to hobble AT&T's competitors by making them dependent upon a system whose future evolution was to be under AT&T's control. This would be accomplished by disseminating an operating system that is apparently inexpensive and easily portable, but also relatively unreliable and insecure (so as to require continuing upgrades from

sPHENIX is a next-generation particle detector that probes the mysterious, soupy form of the early universe. We know very little about the first few microseconds after the Big Bang.

Book Review: Nixon's Memoirs

I’ve had the first volume of Richard Nixon’s memoirs on my shelf since high school. I got them because of a childhood inside joke, and only recently got around to reading them. The volume ends with Nixon’s first term, though there are portentous intimations, occasionally, of what came after. I’ll start with rolling narrative observations, then a grab bag of details that I found fun, then my favorite excerpt to close out.
