tldr; A significant portion of the US Congress is over 80 years old,
raising concerns about their ability to effectively regulate the
cryptocurrency industry. The challenges include understanding the
technical intricacies of blockchain technology and the economic
implications of volatile cryptocurrency markets. Despite their age,
there has been notable activity in Congress surrounding crypto
legislation, indicating that collective expertise can aid regulatory
efforts. However, critics argue that this age group may not fully
grasp the complexities of the industry and rely heavily on advisers
and industry experts. Despite these concerns, the 118th Congress has
seen a flurry of activity focused on crypto legislation, including
discussions on defining digital assets, determining regulatory bodies,
and addressing stablecoin regulation. The hope is that the combined
expertise of Congress, regardless of age, can lead the United States
to a promising crypto future.

Downfall Attacks

https://downfall.page/

Attack Demo FAQ Advisories Links

profile

Downfall attacks targets a critical weakness found in billions of
modern processors used in personal and cloud computers. This
vulnerability, identified as CVE-2022-40982, enables a user to access
and steal data from other users who share the same computer. For
instance, a malicious app obtained from an app store could use the
Downfall attack to steal sensitive information like passwords,
encryption keys, and private data such as banking details, personal
emails, and messages. Similarly, in cloud computing environments, a
malicious customer could exploit the Downfall vulnerability to steal
data and credentials from other customers who share the same cloud
computer.

The vulnerability is caused by memory optimization features in Intel
processors that unintentionally reveal internal hardware registers to
software. This allows untrusted software to access data stored by
other programs, which should not be normally be accessible. I
discovered that the Gather instruction, meant to speed up accessing
scattered data in memory, leaks the content of the internal vector
register file during speculative execution. To exploit this
vulnerability, I introduced Gather Data Sampling (GDS) and Gather
Value Injection (GVI) techniques. You can read the paper I wrote about
this for more detail. Please cite as follow:

FAQ

[Q] Am I affected by this vulnerability?

[A] Most likely, yes. This depends on whether your computing devices
(laptop, tablet, desktop, cloud, etc.) use the affected Intel
processors. Even if you do not own any physical Intel-based devices,
Intel’s server market share is more than 70%, so most likely, everyone
on the internet is affected.

[Q] Which computing devices are affected?

[A] Computing devices based on Intel Core processors from the 6th
Skylake to (including) the 11th Tiger Lake generation are affected. A
more comprehensive list of affected processors will be available here.

[Q] What can a hacker do with this?

[A] A hacker can target high-value credentials such as passwords and
encryption keys. Recovering such credentials can lead to other attacks
that violate the availability and integrity of computers in addition
to confidentiality.

[Q] How practical are these attacks?

[A] GDS is highly practical. It tooks me 2 weeks to develop an
end-to-end attack stealing encryption keys from OpenSSL. It only
requires the attacker and victim to share the same physical processor
core, which frequently happens on modern-day computers, implementing
preemptive multitasking and simultaneous multithreading.

[Q] Is Intel SGX also affected?

[A] In addition to normal isolation boundaries e.g., virtual machines,
processes, user-kernel isolation, Intel SGX is also affected. Intel
SGX is a hardware security feature available on Intel CPUs to protect
user’s data against all form of malicious software.

[Q] What about web browsers?

[A] In theory, remotely exploiting this vulnerability from the web
browser is possible. In practice, demonstrating successful attacks via
web browsers requires additional research and engineering efforts.

[Q] How long have users been exposed to this vulnerability?

[A] At least nine years. The affected processors have been around since 2014.

[Q] Is there a way to detect Downfall attacks?

[A] It is not easy. Downfall execution looks mostly like benign
applications. Theoretically, one could develop a detection system that
uses hardware performance counters to detect abnormal behaviors like

Fwd: [bitcoin-dev] Pull-req to remove the arbitrary limits on OP_Return outputs

2023-08-09 Thread Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many
-- Forwarded message --
From: Peter Todd via bitcoin-dev 
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2023 11:42:40 +
Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Pull-req to remove the arbitrary limits on
OP_Return outputs
To: bitcoin-...@lists.linuxfoundation.org

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28130

Sjors Provoost suggested that I email this mailing list as notice of my intent
to get a pull-req merged that would remove the arbitrary 80-byte, 1 output /
tx, standardness restrictions on OP_Return outputs. His rationale was that
removing these standardness restrictions could potentially open up additional
transaction pinning(1) vectors. Since this is a potential problem with any
relaxation of standardness rules, I don't consider this to be an important
concern. But consider this email your notice.

At least some miners appear to be mining non-bitcoin-core-standard
transactions. So with respect to the hash power of those miners these pinning
vectors may in fact exist already.

Cryptocurrency: PayPal PYUSD Stable and WorldCoin Are All Shit CBDC And Must Be Destroyed

2023-08-09 Thread grarpamp
Paypal's new stablecoin has the ability to pause all transfers, freeze
addresses to prevent actions and also burn the tokens in the frozen
addresses

by mbdtf95

Here is where you can freely read the whole source code of Paypal's
new stablecoin which is named Paypal USD with ticker (symbol) PYUSD:

https://etherscan.deth.net/address/0xe17b8adf8e46b15f3f9ab4bb9e3b6e31db09126e#code

Well everything is transparent and some of the more interesting parts
are parts where it can clearly freeze and unfreeze people's accounts.
Supply is centrally controlled of course via a Supplycontroller, and
probably the biggest thing is that it can freeze accounts and then
burn the frozen account's coins. If we get CBDCs you can expect this
kind of function in them.

Here is that ''interesting'' part of the code which states some of
these things if you don't want to look at whole source code:

That’s good to know thanks, I’ve wanted to try to contribute a tiny

outpace your impermanent loss which seems less likely than just
holding for the long term unless things happen to work out favorably

Not saying defi doesn’t have its issues becuz it damn sure does, but
it’s like all things in life, you need to put the effort into learning
it. There’s soo much money to be made in defi, yet most people take
the easy way out and think they’re going to make money selling
