Buypass discontinues issuance of TLS/SSL certificates

Existing TLS/SSL certificates will remain valid and functional until they expire or are revoked. Revocation services, certificate status services (CRL and OCSP), and other necessary support functions will operate as normal for all certificates within their validity period. Notification of the expiry date for existing certificates will be sent as per the standard procedure. More details on how the discontinuation affects certificates ordered in Buypass ID Manager, as well as the discontinuation

SQLx – Rust SQL Toolkit

SQLx 🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit SQLx is an async, pure Rust † SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. † The SQLite driver uses the libsqlite3 C library as SQLite is an embedded database (the only way we could be pure Rust for SQLite is by porting all of SQLite to Rust). †† SQLx uses #![forbid(unsafe_code)] unless the sqlite feature is enabled. The SQLite driver directly invokes the SQLite3 API via libsqlite3-sys , which requires unsafe . Cross-platform. Being native Rust

Reversing a Fingerprint Reader Protocol (2021)

TLDR: The sensor uses TLS-PSK over USB. We overwrite the PSK and are able to read images. Scan of not-my-finger. I recently got a new Laptop ( Lenovo Ideapad 5 - 15are05 ). Linux compatibility is quite good, as documented in the Arch Wiki. One part that is not working is the fingerprint reader. In this blog post I describe my approach to reverse engineering the fingerprint reader's windows driver and USB protocol. This results in a python script, capable of streaming images from the sensor at

Scientists Discover the Key to Axolotls’ Ability to Regenerate Limbs

The axolotl seems like something out of science fiction. This perpetually youthful-looking Mexican salamander possesses a superpower that defies biology as we know it: the ability to regenerate entire limbs, parts of its heart, and even its spinal cord. But how does an amputated limb know whether to regenerate an entire arm from the shoulder down or just a hand from the wrist? This mystery of “positional identity” has fascinated scientists for decades. A team at Northeastern University, led by
