| By @matejsmycka [ 4 Min read ] Reading code manually is a time-consuming process. It is also error-prone, as it is easy to miss important details. As developers and penetration testers, we need to find a way to automate this process. SAST is a technique that can help us with this task. SAST is not a silver bullet. It is usable only for use cases with access to the source code for open-source projects or white-box penetration testing. However, it can help you find some low-hanging fruits and save time. Static application security testing (SAST) is a subset of static code analysis used to increase the security and reliability of the code. SAST detects old dependencies, secret detection, logical errors that lead to vulnerabilities, and more. SAST includes testing that affects cybersecurity secondarily, such as visual code complexity, code ambiguity, and non-intuitive practices that can lead to vulnerabilities... |

Mayday Mayday Mayday Some of you degens were screaming “Mayday” as you watched crypto markets puke from mid-April until the present. There was so much pain that momentum-chasing paper hands like Irene Zhao proclaimed that they were “done” with crypto. As if – she will dutifully return posting crypto thirst traps once Bitcoin is back trending up and to the right in short order... |
| By @alejandroduarte [ 4 Min read ] Let's explore how temporary tables work in MariaDB. First, we have to connect to the server. For example (use your own connection details): Now, just to point something out, let's create a standard (permanent) table. Here's how: All this is pretty obvious, but now, let's recreate this table and try something different: A temporary table only exists for the duration of the session in which it was created and other sessions won't be able to see it. We can confirm this by running: We see the filtered data... |
| By @hughharsono [ 4 Min read ] In mid-April 2024, China’s CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission (CMC) unveiled the rebranding of its People’s Liberation Army - Information Support Force (PLA-ISF). The PLA-ISF is China’s latest step to modernize its military-specific to information warfare and other emerging technologies in a multi-domain operational concept. The creation of the PLA-ISF is cause for concern because it suggests increased CCP control over all AI activities within China, while also highlighting the potentiality of China to execute long-term military campaigns leveraging AI technologies. Additionally, the increase in Chinese gray-zone activities serves to underscore this notion, with the effects of social media manipulation, infrastructure, and cybersecurity attacks being significantly amplified if coupled with AI... |
| The first heart transplant in the UK was performed on May 3, 1968, at the National Heart Hospital in London by a team led by the surgeon Donald Ross. The operation involved transplanting the heart of a 31-year-old man, Patrick Ryan, who had died in a road accident, into the chest of a 45-year-old patient, Frederick West, who was suffering from severe heart disease. The surgery lasted for about six hours, and despite some initial complications during the operation, the new heart began beating strongly in the recipient's chest. The patient's body initially accepted the new heart, and he made a good recovery in the following days. However, about two weeks after the operation, the patient developed pneumonia, which led to a series of complications that eventually caused his death on June 17, 1968, 45 days after the surgery. The first heart transplant in the UK was a significant achievement in the history of medicine, demonstrating the possibility of replacing a failing heart with a healthy one from a donor. The success of this operation paved the way for further research and advancements in heart transplantation and other types of organ transplantation, which have saved countless lives since then. |

| Washington, D.C. was incorporated as a city on May 3, 1802. This was done by an act of Congress, which established a local government for the new capital city of the United States. The city's government was headed by a mayor and a council, and it had limited autonomy. However, the residents of Washington, D.C. did not receive full voting rights and home rule until much later in the 20th century. |

| "Roll Out the Barrel" is a popular song that has become an important cultural symbol in many countries, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The song was originally written in the Czech Republic in the early 20th century under the title "Škoda lásky" ("Wasted Love"), but it was later adapted and translated into English as "Roll Out the Barrel". The song is particularly associated with drinking and socializing, and it is often played at social events, such as weddings, festivals, and sporting events. In many countries, the song is also closely associated with beer, and it is often played in beer halls and pubs as a drinking song. In addition to its cultural significance, "Roll Out the Barrel" has also played a role in various historical events. For example, during World War II, the song was used as a symbol of resistance against Nazi occupation in the Czech Republic, where it was often sung in secret by Czechs who were opposed to the Nazi regime. Overall, "Roll Out the Barrel" is a song that has come to represent joy, celebration, and community, and it continues to be an important part of many cultural traditions around the world. |

| The first spam email was sent in 1978 by a marketer named Gary Thuerk, who was working for the computer manufacturer Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Thuerk sent the email to around 400 users of ARPANET, an early version of the internet that was used by researchers and academics. The email was a promotional message for DEC's new line of computers, and it was sent to a large number of people without their permission. Thuerk's message was criticized by many users, who felt that it was intrusive and annoying. Despite the negative reaction, Thuerk's email was seen as a pioneering effort in email marketing, and it paved the way for future spam emails. Today, spam emails are a common nuisance for many internet users, and they can take many forms, including phishing scams, fake offers, and unwanted advertisements. |
