For years, IPv4 was the only proxy type that really mattered for anyone running automation off a Linux box. IPv6 was the protocol everyone said they’d migrate to, but almost nobody actually did. In 2026, that’s finally starting to shift. . The problem is that most admins stick with IPv4 out of habit. They know it; it’s what their tooling defaults to, and they don’t see a reason to change. Some are overpaying for addresses they don’t need. Others would quietly break their scrapers, scripts, or...

Researchers recently identified another wave of malicious packages on PyPI linked to the broader Mini Shai-Hulud campaign, a worm-like supply chain attack that spread through trusted software packages. On the surface, the packages looked no different from thousands of others published to the repository each week. . Instead of trying to break into a target network directly, the attackers hid malicious code inside software that developers were already using. A few downloads are all it takes....

IronWorm steals credentials and uses them to spread beyond the original victim, turning developer access into a supply chain risk. . A new campaign targeting npm has evolved past simple credential theft. Researchers identified IronWorm, a self-spreading threat. It harvests high-value Linux development secrets—SSH keys, cloud tokens, package publishing credentials. One compromised workstation becomes a launchpad for downstream supply chain attacks. This is not a get-in-and-get-out operation....

The romanticized image of the digital nomad – a laptop on a sun-drenched balcony – rarely accounts for the actual friction of maintaining a professional development environment on the move. . The friction is amplified with Linux. We are looking for a setup that respects our kernel configurations, handles volatile network handovers, and maintains a strict security posture without the hand-holding of a consumer-grade OS – so, put simply, more than just a laptop and a sunny deck. The hardware is...

Cron has existed in Unix and Linux environments for decades, handling backups, cleanup scripts, patching jobs, log rotation, monitoring tasks, and other maintenance work that administrators do not want to run manually. Most Linux servers rely on it constantly, which is exactly why attackers continue abusing it for persistence after a system has already been compromised. . Persistence through cron is not complicated. Attackers do not need a rootkit or advanced malware framework to maintain...

Overcoming Cultural Barriers to Achieve Smart Card Success in Governance

The technology exists to create a governmentwide smart card program, but cultural issues and a lack of top-level management support stand in the way of implementation, experts testified today. A single government smart card is possible, but managerial and policy . . . . The technology exists to create a governmentwide smart card program, but cultural issues and a lack of top-level management support stand in the way of implementation, experts testified today. A single government smart card is possible, but managerial and policy differences create difficulties, said Joel Willemssen, managing director of information technology issues at the General Accounting Office. "It would probably be very difficult to standardize it from a management and policy perspective," Willemssen testified today at a hearing of the House Government Reform subcommittee on technology, information policy, intergovernmental relations and the census. Agencies have different security clearances and access controls. GAO identified 62 smart card initiatives in varying stages at 18 agencies, Willemssen said. One of the next steps, he said, is establishing a governmentwide employee credentialing policy to streamline employee clearances. The link for this article located at FCW is no longer available. . The rollout of a thorough smart card program within government entities encounters challenges due to cultural resistance and lack of leadership support, hindering progress..
