❇️ ANY.RUN Sandbox Now Offers Better Auto-Detonation of Cyber Threats
ANY.RUN’s Interactive Sandbox now automatically detonates common cyber attack chains without the need for user interaction. This means faster and more efficient malware analysis.
It quickly identifies and triggers the key stages of the kill chain to keep the attack analysis moving and ensure full detection of malicious activities.
These stages can include:
- Email attachments like archives and their contents
- QR codes inside documents and CAPTCHAs
- Rewritten links and multi-stage redirects
Start analyzing complex threats today in a secure environment with ANY.RUN’s cloud sandbox. Automate repetitive tasks and focus on what truly matters. Learn more here.
📰 Linux and Open Source News
openEuler Summit 2024 was a packed one, with the developers revealing their long-term plans.
🧠 What We’re Thinking About
Some interesting things to think about when it comes to the open source community.
🧮 Linux Tips, Tutorials and More
Conky is a lightweight LUA scripting system that lets you add system stats on your desktop. It’s a popular tool for customizing the looks of Linux desktop.
👷 Maker’s and AI Corner
Sometimes a small tweak can make a huge difference.
We also took a look at the recently launched Raspberry Pi SD card.
📹 Videos We are Creating for You
I usually prefer making tutorial videos. But this time, I made a ‘news’ kind of video. Instead of writing an article on what’s changed in Archinstall script, I show that in a video. A new format as we try to make more videos for you.
✨ Apps of the Week
Your search for a Notion alternative might end with AFFiNE, go check it out! 😃
For Android, we have Seal, a handy app for downloading videos from popular platforms like YouTube.
🧩 Quiz Time
This time, we have a wheel spin quiz for Linux commands, read the instructions carefully!
💡 Quick Handy Tip
In Firefox and other browsers, you can hover on a link, then click and drag it to the tab bar to open it in a new tab. When it is ready to be dropped into the tab bar, you will see a blue line in the tab bar (Firefox-only).
🤣 Meme of the Week
Now, would that be the case with Windows? 🤔
🗓️ Tech Trivia
Douglas Engelbart received US patent 3,541,541 for the computer mouse, called so due to its tail-like cord. The first prototype appeared in 1964 and was demoed in 1968. It became commercially available with the Xerox 8010 Star in 1981. Apple included it with the Lisa in 1983, but it was the Macintosh 128K that made the mouse popular.
