Managing permissions creep in the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK

The Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK relies on a service principal to manage delegated permissions, which are granted during interactive sessions via the `Connect-MgGraph` cmdlet. Over time, administrators often accumulate excessive permissions, a phenomenon known as permissions creep, as new scopes are added without removing those that are no longer necessary. This accumulation eventually hits an internal limit, causing authentication failures that prevent the SDK from establishing a connection.

📰 I installed real Linux apps on my Android phone, and it got dangerously close to replacing my laptop

Android phones have been powerful enough to handle everyday work for years, but that power has never brought them particularly close to replacing my laptop. The problem is Android itself, where most work remains trapped inside individual apps that cannot access the same tools, files, and processes as freely as software running on a desktop operating system.

Клон SQLite на Rust, воссозданный AI на основе спецификаций

Компания Cursor опубликовала исходный код minisqlite, реализации СУБД SQLite, воссозданной на языке Rust и успешно проходящей официальный набор тестов sqllogictest от проекта SQLite. Проект подготовлен в ходе эксперимента, в котором проверялась эффективность работы AI-моделей GPT-5.5, Grok 4.5, Opus 4.8 и Fable 5, по воссозданию SQLite только на основе официального 835-страничного руководства, без доступа к оригинальному коду, интернету, наборам тестов и исполняемому файлу SQLite. Основная идея эксперимента - использование подробной спецификации в качестве промпта для создания сложного продукта.

Chaos ransomware uses browser-based C2 to evade network detection

The Chaos ransomware group has deployed a new Rust-based remote access trojan, msaRAT, which disguises command-and-control traffic by routing it through legitimate web browsers. By launching Chrome or Microsoft Edge in headless mode with remote debugging enabled, the malware utilizes the Chrome DevTools Protocol to manage communications. This design ensures that all external network activity appears to originate from standard browser processes rather than malicious infrastructure.

AI is killing off IBM’s mainframe business

IBM’s latest quarter was hurt by a sharp drop in mainframe sales, and management said the decline came from customers shifting budgets into other data center hardware instead of buying new Z systems now. The company said the AI boom is inflating prices for servers, storage, memory, and PCs, which pushed some planned mainframe purchases out of the quarter. IBM still argued this was a delay rather than a permanent loss of demand, saying it sees no evidence that customers are abandoning the platform.

Hardware-secured Windows KMS activation with TPM attestation

Microsoft is introducing a new security feature called KMS Hardware-Secured to protect Key Management Service (KMS) activation. This feature uses Trusted Platform Module (TPM) attestation to verify the hardware integrity of your activation servers. Starting with Windows Server 2025, you can assess your infrastructure's readiness for this change. In a future Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release, this hardware-based verification will become mandatory. This article explains the technical requirements and how you can prepare your environment.

Дерево портов FreeBSD временно заморожено из-за добавления в порты слишком большого файла

Разработчики FreeBSD объявили о решении временно заморозить репозиторий с деревом портов в связи с инцидентом, вызванным помещением в порты бинарного файла, размером 150 МБ. Данная операция привела к нарушению зеркалирования портов на GitHub из-за превышения ограничения на максимальный размер файла, которое на GitHub составляет 100 МБ. Для проведения чистки и удаления из истории репозитория бинарных данных с сомнительной лицензией введена заморозка от внесения изменений, которая продолжается уже около двух суток. Информация о том, как подобный файл был помещён в дерево портов пока не приводится, но утверждается, что нет оснований считать репозиторий скомпрометированным.

Cloudflare introduces cache response rules for granular edge control

Cloudflare has launched Cache Response Rules, a new feature that allows administrators to modify HTTP response headers after they leave the origin server but before they are processed by the edge cache. This capability addresses common caching inefficiencies, such as accidental "Set-Cookie" headers or overly restrictive "Cache-Control" directives that prevent static assets from being cached. By applying these rules at the response phase, teams can resolve configuration conflicts without needing to modify origin server code or infrastructure.
