FSL and BSL belong on any list of false-promise licenses:<li><a href="https://fsl.software/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://fsl.software/</a></li><li><a href="https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-adopting/#whatis" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-adopting/#whatis</a></li>
They are **not open source**. They are restrictive source-available licenses dressed up with “open” language.
Reading the code is not enough. If users cannot freely run, use, or build on the software because of field-of-use or competition restrictions, the software is not open source.
Marketing it as “open source” or even putting “open” in your name is misleading twice: first in the license, then in the messaging.

If someone comes to me today preaching about “post-quantum” security issues, I’ll remind them of the current state of security: the npm ecosystem gets abused daily, CI pipelines run left and right with full access to cloud services, so-called security devices like F5 and Ivanti are exposed (and compromised) to the internet, mailboxes get compromised just to change an IBAN in a PDF, and a simple phone call is still enough to get someone to hand over an MFA code.
But yes, by all means, let’s focus on post-quantum threats while handing AI tools SSH access like it’s a feature, not a confession.

Why it matters to create and maintain open-source infrastructure for security monitoring including collection of forums and malicious communication channels.
This is a strong example (Google dark web report is discontinued) of the risks of relying solely on commercial vendors. If a capability does not align with their business interests or generate sufficient revenue, it can be discontinued at any time. Open-source infrastructure helps ensure continuity, transparency, and long-term access to critical monitoring capabilities that are essential for the security community.
If you want to run your own "darkweb" monitoring, we develop open source tooling supporting such monitoring<li><a href="https://www.ail-project.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://www.ail-project.org/</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ail_project" class="u-url mention">@ail_project</a> </li><li><a href="https://github.com/ail-project" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/ail-project</a></li>

I think the best summary until now about Post-quantum cryptography is from Peter Gutmann in the cryptography mailing-list.<code>Given that after 20 years and hundreds of millions of dollars spent researchers have yet to demonstrate a single legitimate cryptanalysis result using a quantum physics experiment, it's a bit like arguing over which brand of unicorn repellent is the most cromulent. The current state of things in terms of pure vs. hybrid systems seems to be: - Governments = Pure: “We’re putting all our eggs in one basket and hoping that the dial stops spinning at ‘not broken’” - Everyone else = Hybrid: “We trust this new stuff so little that we’re requiring you use the crypto that we claim is broken alongside it” Peter. </code>

I’m just wondering are you sure of the test? I remember we got trapped in an ASA scanning script which was expecting an HTTP 200 while the patch gives a redirect but this was also a 200.

When I added the threat-actor @npub1mly…rl2t galaxy type on Mar 4, 2016, I didn’t expect that, years later, vendors would still invent new names for already known threat actors, avoid using UUIDs, reuse similar names for different actors, and create confusing names by mixing tools or software used by the actors.
That’s why we continue the tedious work of maintaining a proper threat-actor database, with relationships to other galaxies such as MITRE ATT&CK, Malpedia, and more.
After years of this monastic effort, we’re seeing the benefits—many open-source and proprietary tools now rely on the MISP galaxy, which serves as both an open standard and a public knowledge base.
We also maintain a dedicated website for all MISP galaxies. Here’s an example from the threat-actor database:
https://www.misp-galaxy.org/threat-actor/relations/fa80877c-f509-4daf-8b62-20aba1635f68/
:github: Repository https://github.com/MISP/misp-galaxy/
🌐 Public website https://www.misp-galaxy.org/threat-actor/
If you’d like to become a monk (just kidding!) and contribute, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request on the misp-galaxy repo.
In MISP, you can directly benefit from all the galaxies, and you also have advanced functionalities like forking and maintaining an up-to-date private version of the threat-actor database.

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?
It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.

I find this vulnerability hilarious
« The GDPR Cookie Compliance – Cookie Banner, Cookie Consent, Cookie Notice – CCPA, DSGVO, RGPD plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting »
Often, websites only use cookies necessary for normal operation and don’t require explicit user consent. However, some legal teams insist on having it “to be on the safe side.” Now it’s very safe indeed. ;-)
This particular vulnerability isn’t a big deal since it requires admin rights on WordPress to inject. If you’re already an admin, you can do worse things. The only advantage for attackers is that the injection spreads everywhere.

The latest proposal from @npub1djq…zj5f poses significant risks to the true principles of open source. This concern reminds me of my primary issue with EPSS, where the model is documented in a paper, yet relies on proprietary data sources that aren’t accessible for reproduction.
