🚨 Police, military, and critical infrastructure radios worldwide are vulnerable — again.

Researchers just found new TETRA flaws letting attackers replay calls, brute-force “secure” comms, and inject fake voice/data — even on encrypted networks. No full fixes yet.

Here’s what’s at stake ↓ https://thehackernews.com/2025/08/new-tetra-radio-encryption-flaws-expose.html

Google made something terrible:

If you ever coded an android app, then in .idea/deploymenttargetselector.xml there will be your serial number of your phone connected to your android studio.

Now comes the best part: It's not included in .gitignore.

We have seen people's location getting leaked for using OEM android systems that comes with location tracker. And all you need to track the phone is the serial number.

Now look at github and you will be amazed at how much serial numbers are there on the internet.

I changed its package name + app name, added myself in the app and enabled GitHub workflows for it. You can choose to use workflows for future updates. The workflow one also fixes the package name detection of HMA.

🖋Here's a look at the unreleased Pixel Tablet Pen's hidden note-taking trick

Last week, Google's unreleased stylus for the Pixel Tablet mysteriously appeared. Early reports said the stylus button doesn't work, but it works after enabling some settings.

Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration. Hard fork of https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/

Run Windows applications (including Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud) on GNU/Linux with KDE Plasma, GNOME or XFCE, integrated seamlessly as if they were native to the OS.

Underlying Mechanism

WinApps works by:

Running Windows in a Docker, Podman or libvirt virtual machine.
Querying Windows for all installed applications.
Creating shortcuts to selected Windows applications on the host GNU/Linux OS.
Using FreeRDP as a backend to seamlessly render Windows applications alongside GNU/Linux applications.

Additional Features

The GNU/Linux /home directory is accessible within Windows via the \\tsclient\home mount.
Integration with Nautilus, allowing you to right-click files to open them with specific Windows applications based on the file MIME type.
The official taskbar widget enables seamless administration of the Windows subsystem and offers an easy way to launch Windows applications.
Microsoft Office links (e.g. ms-word://) from the host system are automatically opened in the Windows subsystem. (Note: You may need to use a User Agent Switcher browser extension and set the User-Agent to Windows, as the Office webapps typically hide the "Open in Desktop App" option for Linux users.)

Supported Applications

WinApps supports ALL Windows applications.

Universal application support is achieved by:

Scanning Windows for any officially supported applications (list below).
Scanning Windows for any other .exe files listed within the Windows Registry.

Officially supported applications benefit from high-resolution icons and pre-populated MIME types. This enables file managers to determine which Windows applications should open files based on file extensions. Icons for other detected applications are pulled from .exe files.

Contributing to the list of supported applications is encouraged through submission of pull requests! Please help us grow the WinApps community.

Please note that the provided list of officially supported applications is community-driven. As such, some applications may not be tested and verified by the WinApps team.
