You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance
This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.
Discoverability and Archiving
Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.
Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.
Gluttony Section for Search Engines
This follow-up to CVE-2024-57882 by Solar Designer also worth reading:
https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2025/q2/3"A reason CVE-2024-57882 may have stayed unpatched in a distro is it could have been wrongly believed to be a NULL pointer dereference only due to a specific crash reported by Syzbot."
"net.mptcp.enabled can be set from inside an unprivileged net namespace"
@GossiTheDog @cisakevtracker Thanks for the heads up! I'm quite skeptical though given the previous FUD reports, can't wait to see more info about any observed attacks!
@kajer @256 Good one! .HLP was also a vector for a long time, pretty sure there was some parser bug in the thumbnailer, *gestures wildly* Internet Explorer...
@kajer @256 I'm like 3 minutes in, and I remember at least 3 remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in the presented features, fun times!
@cR0w @wdormann I mean it's the logical next step if you want to pretend you can solve an unsolvable problem.
@cR0w @wdormann Probably? Gmail definitely does that. Zero-click attack surface ftw!
