IPv4 Mapped IPv6 Addresses, (Tue, Mar 17th)
IPv4 Mapped IPv6 Addresses Yesterday, in my diary about the scans for "/proxy/" URLs, I noted how attackers are using IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses to possibly obfuscate their attack. These addresses are defined in RFC 4038. These addresses are one of the many transition mechanisms used to retain some backward compatibility as IPv6 is deployed. Many modern applications use IPv6-only networking code. IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses can be used to represent IPv4 addresses in these cases. IPv4-mapped IPv6 ...

What happens to middle management when AI flattens your organization?

Elon Musk's xAI sued for turning three girls' real photos into AI CSAM
A tip from an anonymous Discord user led cops to find what may be the first confirmed Grok-generated child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) that Elon Musk’s xAI can’t easily dismiss as nonexistent. As recently as January, Musk denied that Grok generated any CSAM during a scandal in which xAI refused to update filters to block the chatbot from nudifying images of real people. At the height of the controversy, researchers from the Center for Countering Digital Hate estimated that Grok generated appro...
