What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

For those of you who are wondering, the most important opsec lesson to take from the First Wap story is that if your threat model includes a government, do not take your cell phone with you to locations or meetings you don't want them to know about.

"The United States is waging war on Venezuela. This is not a hypothetical; it is happening.

The Donald Trump administration is using extreme violence to try to overthrow Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.

The US military has killed dozens of Venezuelans in strikes on boats in international waters without charge or trial. UN experts have publicly condemned these attacks as “extrajudicial executions” that violate international law.

It is not only Venezuelans who have been executed by the US military. Among the victims of these illegal US attacks have been fishermen who were citizens of Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago.

Family members of the victims, from a Trinidadian fishing village, were interviewed by The Guardian, and they condemned Trump for “killing poor people”, arguing that he simply wants to take their “gas and their oil”.

In other words, the Trump administration is killing innocent people from multiple countries as part of its war on Venezuela.

Week by week, Trump is ratcheting up the US war on Venezuela."

SCOOP: A man who worked on developing hacking and surveillance tools for Western defense contractor L3Harris Trenchant was notified by Apple that his iPhone was targeted with mercenary spyware.

The developer believes he was targeted after he was wrongly accused of leaking zero-days developed by Trenchant.

This may be one of the first documented cases of a zero-day maker being targeted with spyware.

Dear media, no, “the internet” wasn’t down yesterday. One supplier of a service was down and because lots of companies made the shortsighted decision to make their services dependant on it, they suffered. It’s possible and frankly, it should be standard, to avoid this. And to my employer: it could be Azure next time, be warned.

Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far.

Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour stacked exposure from CFHT. This was from 2022, when there were thousands fewer satellites... This is dumb.

(The small streaks that are similar lengths are actually asteroids!)

A starfield image from a professional telescope, divided up into many rectangles.  There are lots of bright diagonal lines across the starfield, those are from satellites that flew through while the image was being taken.
