What is it with government functionaries trying to compel loyalty oaths to a foreign entity when people are recovering from a natural disaster and least able to fight such an outrage?

This was previously seen in Texas, but reversed (but not the state law behind it), and now ... well, we can't rule out malicious compliance, especially in the dog days of summer:

"US quickly reverses pledge to link disaster funds to Israel boycott stance

"Hours after posting it, Department of Homeland Security removes statement that funding is dependent on states not cutting ‘commercial relations’ with Israeli companies"

Did not send an "America First" message to Trump's base....

Google Big Sleep - L'IA qui a trouvé 20 failles de sécurité toute seule


Les bug bounty hunters n’ont qu’à bien se tenir car Google va bientôt tenter de les remplacer (comme ils ont déjà remplacé pas mal de créateurs web) grâce à leur nouvelle IA baptisée Big Sleep. En effet, celle-ci vient de prouver qu’elle peut détecter des failles de sécurité que même les meilleurs hackers humains ont loupées. Et je ne vous parle pas de petites vulnérabilités bidons, mais de véritables failles dans des logiciels critiques.

Vous vous souvenez quand je vous parlais de XBOW, cette IA qui était devenue numéro 1 sur HackerOne ? Eh bien Google vient de rentrer dans la danse avec Big Sleep, et visiblement ils ne sont pas venus pour rigoler. L’approche est différente mais tout aussi impressionnante.

Big Sleep, c’est le fruit d’une collaboration entre Google Project Zero (l’équipe d’élite qui trouve des failles zero-day) et DeepMind (les génies derrière AlphaGo). Ensemble, ils ont créé une IA capable d’analyser du code source et de détecter des vulnérabilités de manière autonome. Le nom “Big Sleep” vient d’ailleurs du roman noir de Raymond Chandler (lien affilié), un clin d’œil au côté détective de l’IA.

La première vraie victoire de Big Sleep, c’est donc d’avoir trouvé une vulnérabilité stack buffer underflow dans SQLite, la base de données la plus utilisée au monde. Cette faille était passée sous le radar de tous les outils de fuzzing traditionnels et des chercheurs humains. L’IA a réussi à l’identifier en analysant les patterns de code et en comprenant la logique profonde du programme.

Ce qui est vraiment fou avec Big Sleep, c’est sa capacité à comprendre le contexte et la sémantique du code car contrairement aux outils de fuzzing classiques qui bombardent le programme avec des données aléatoires pour voir s’il crashe, Big Sleep lit et comprend réellement ce que fait le code.

C’est la différence entre un lecteur de Korben.info qui lit l’un de mes articles et qui est content. Et un lecteur de Korben.info (ou pas d’ailleurs) qui lit l’un de mes articles en diagonale (ou juste le titre…lol), qui ne comprend rien et qui part ensuite m’insulter sur les réseaux sociaux ^^.

Google explique que Big Sleep utilise une approche en plusieurs étapes. D’abord, l’IA analyse le code source pour comprendre sa structure et son fonctionnement. Ensuite, elle identifie les zones potentiellement vulnérables en se basant sur des patterns connus mais aussi sur sa compréhension du flux de données. Enfin, elle génère des cas de test spécifiques pour confirmer l’existence de la vulnérabilité.

![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 1024 441'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

Les 20 vulnérabilités découvertes touchent différents types de logiciels, des bibliothèques système aux applications web. Google reste discret sur les détails exacts pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité, mais ils confirment que toutes les failles ont été corrigées avant toute exploitation malveillante. C’est le principe du responsible disclosure : on trouve, on prévient, on corrige, et seulement après on communique.

Ce qui différencie Big Sleep de XBOW, c’est surtout l’approche. Là où XBOW excelle dans les bug bounties publics avec une approche plus agressive, Big Sleep semble plutôt orienté vers l’analyse en profondeur de code complexe. Les deux IA sont donc complémentaires et montrent bien que l’avenir de la cybersécurité passera par ces assistants intelligents.

D’ailleurs, Google ne compte pas garder Big Sleep pour lui et l’équipe travaille sur une version open source qui permettra à la communauté de bénéficier de cette technologie. L’idée c’est de démocratiser la recherche de vulnérabilités pour que même les petites entreprises puissent sécuriser leur code.

Mais attention, tout n’est pas rose non plus car que se passera-t-il si des acteurs malveillants mettent la main sur ce genre d’IA ? La course aux armements entre attaquants et défenseurs risque de fortement s’accélérer drastiquement. Google assure avoir mis en place des garde-fous, mais on sait tous que dans le domaine de la sécurité, rien n’est jamais garanti à 100%.

Selon Google, Big Sleep peut analyser en quelques heures ce qui prendrait des semaines à une équipe humaine et contrairement à vous les vacanciers éternels, l’IA ne se fatigue pas, ne fait pas d’erreur d’inattention, et peut traiter des volumes de code monumentaux. Sur les 20 vulnérabilités trouvées, au moins 5 étaient considérées comme critiques avec un score CVSS supérieur à 8.

Pour voir les dernières découvertes de BigSleep c’est par ici.

L’objectif pour Google à terme c’est de créer une IA capable de comprendre non seulement le code, mais aussi l’intention derrière le code, donc si vous êtes développeur ou responsable sécurité, il est temps de prendre ce sujet au sérieux. Les IA comme Big Sleep et XBOW ne sont pas des gadgets, donc commencez à réfléchir à comment intégrer ces outils dans vos processus de développement et surtout, n’attendez pas que les attaquants s’en servent contre vous.

Microsoft's AI-fueled 4 trillion valuation highlights the massive impact of the AI bubble on the US economy. AI investments are now acting as a private sector stimulus, contributing more to US economic growth than consumer spending. However, a clear and sustainable business model remains elusive. In many ways, the current AI boom mirrors the dynamics of the dot-com era.

"You think you're prepared.
you go in with boxes and garbage bags. You tell yourself you’ll be strong.
You think, “It’s just stuff.”

But then you open a drawer.
And their handwriting is still on a notepad.
Their scent still clings to the sleeves of that sweater you begged them to throw out every winter.
Their shoes are still lined up by the door like they might be back any minute.

No one tells you how heavy an empty coat can feel in your hands.
No one tells you that cleaning out a space can shatter you all over again.

It’s not just cleaning.
It’s letting go of little pieces you were never ready to lose.
It’s closing a drawer for the last time and feeling like you’re betraying them.
It’s packing up the life you shared, while your heart silently begs, please don’t make me.

Because deep down, you’re not just packing away their things —

Mark Mansour notes that the overt, unabashed gerrymandering proposed by Texas Republicans is designed, by their own admission, to "enhance the political efficacy” of GOP votes.

What this is really about is enhancing the political efficacy of WHITE RURAL voters. As Mansour says, it's "a chilling disenfranchisement of millions of voters—especially Black, Latino, and Asian Americans."

“Trump knows he can’t win the upcoming mid-term elections, so he is trying to rig them. And the way he is trying to do it is to dismantle the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as we know it. He is trying, for example to try and dismantle Hispanic and African-American opportunity districts."

Reminds me of how, at my writing group last month, one of the members talked about how gross it was that there were people lining up to get autographs from Dean Cain. You know, because he’s MAGA and so the people getting the autographs were probably also pieces of shit.
I’m sure if I said anything anti-liberal they’d kick me right out for being “political.” But that dipshit going off about Republicans? A-OK.

In 2019, the American Ayatollah (the Supreme Court) said that it was totally fine to gerrymander, as gerrymandered maps could not be reviewed by federal courts (Rucho v. Common Cause).

Now, with a slim majority, Texas Republicans are gerrymandering on racial lines to disempower voters because they cannot win elections on merits. As a result, Texas Democrats have fled the state, denying the governing body of quorum.

This is "American Democracy" failing spectacularly.
