A Reverse Engineering Workshop for Beginners

A Reverse Engineering workshop for absolute beginners comes from cybercrime researcher Ophir Harpaz. It is available, for free, online.
What do people usually do in their free time ? They watch movies, read a book, go for a walk. Not Ophir, she spends her time reverse engineering binaries!
However, she's not the only one with this interest, therefore she's compiled this magnificent web version of her 2018 Reverse Engineering workshop to share her experience with those of us who share her passion.
So Reverse Engineering in this context is considered to be figuring out what a program does by examining the instructions the program "gives" to the CPU.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times. This leads to faster results for data scientists,  engineers,  biologists,  economists,  administrators,  and programmers. I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"?  full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html    

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

  It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

Turn Claude Into Your Personal Research Assistant

  Claude Scientific Skills give Claude super powers, not just on coding, but about any science. We try them out to see what's on offer. But first of all what are Claude Skills. If you're familiar with CustomGPTs then Skills is something similar. They both enable the LLM to access specialized agents. In the Skills case, they are shaped as plugins which comprise of a mix of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude can load dynamically when trying to perform a task.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18534-turn-claude-into-your-personal-research-assistant.html
