Определение посещаемых сайтов через анализ активности SSD из web-браузера

Группа исследователей из Грацского технического университета (Австрия), разработала технику атаки по сторонним каналам FROST (Fingerprinting Remotely using OPFS-based SSD Timing), позволяющую через анализ активности SSD-накопителя из выполняемого в браузере JavaScript-кода определить открываемые пользователям сайты с точностью 88.95%, а также запускаемые в системе приложения с точностью 95.83%. Метод также можно использовать для организации скрытого канала связи между локально работающим приложением и выполняемым в браузере JavaScript-кодом. Производительность такого обмена данными в Linux составила 661 bit/s, а в macOS - 892 bit/s.

Утилита для взаимодействия с AI из консоли с использованием неименованных каналов

Опубликован прототип консольной утилиты ai-cli для встраивания больших языковых моделей (GitHub Models, OpenAI, Groq, DeepSeek и др.) в конвейер вызова команд в командной строке. Утилита принимает запрос из аргументов или входного потока и отправляет его в выбранную большую языковую модель, а полученный ответ (команду, сообщение, данные) направляет в терминал, файл, буфер обмена или стандартный вывод. Проект написан на языке Rust и распространяется под лицензией MIT.
