Inside PH4NTXM: #57 PH4NTXM Session Guard

Your session identity should stay consistent throughout your session.

Session Guard checks generated identity consistency and protection readiness every 10 seconds. If it detects a mismatch, a protection failure, or a monitored MAC change, it warns you and shows what changed.

Monitoring is optional. Enabling or disabling it requires your session password, and closing the window keeps monitoring running.

You stay in control. Review the findings and choose whether to enable Lockdown. Session Guard never activates it automatically.

Audit only eBPF EDR for Linux 5.15+ LTS: 14 kernel hooks, 15 actions (13 MITRE techniques), process lineage, SIEM export, K8s/Docker ready.

A new #Linux release is a great reason to get together. Whether your local #community favors a traditional gathering or something more immutable, if you plan to host an #openSUSE #release party, please list it on the https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_parties so others can find and join you.

I still believe eBPF, if not managed correctly, is a big security issue. Containers isolate processes, not the kernel. eBPF runs in the kernel.
Netfilter was fixed for this: a container's firewall rules only apply to its own network namespace. Scoped by design.
eBPF tracing hooks weren't. A kprobe loaded from one container sees every process on the host. CAP_BPF in a container is really a host-wide grant.

Anyway, my 2 cents.

It had been about 4 years since I'd last worked on Emote in anger, so this was a long time coming!

A critical KVM guest-to-host escape is working its way into Debian, RHEL, and Ubuntu — if you run multi-tenant VMs on bare metal, this is the patch Tuesday that actually matters.

Packaging week paid off. Seven of my little Linux apps now ship an AppImage, so they run on Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and the rest, not just Omarchy: Repokase, Jubako, Dogear, omaforge, Rune, Bahá'í Reader and Hyprfall. Python and Qt (or Quickshell) ride along inside, and --install-desktop-entry puts the app in your menu with proper icons. Bahá'í Reader has a Flatpak bundle too. Omarchy is still home.

Είπα, γιατί μου σπάει το tcp_rmem, ε κάποια μαλακία θα έκανα, τι πείραξα πάλι πανάθεμα 'μαι;

E ή πιωμένος θα ήμουν; ΜΠΑ δε τα κάνω γω τέτοια λάθη δε πάνε μαζί, ε μετά απο το κλασικό κρυφτό και jourrnalctl με τα στάνταρ Χριστουγεννιάτικα λαμπάκια μου που άναψαν μιας και πλησιάζουν, τελικά ο Kernel αποφάσισε να ανεβάσει το buffer 4096, ρίχνω test τον παλιό περνάει, στον καινούριο "πιστόλι", μέχρι το 4096, καθίστε βρε παιδιά, μη βιάζεστεεεε, να προλαβαίνουμε το spoofing maintenance. Ένας είμαι δεν έχω λόχο πίσω μου.

Σιγά βρε...
