Zeroday Podcast (sven)<p>Mit dem <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Wordpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wordpress</span></a>-Plugin "Login Attempts" kann man sich die Versuche ansehen. Man sieht einerseits, welche <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Passw%C3%B6rter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Passwörter</span></a> ausprobiert werden und man mit zufälligen, starken Passwörtern gut geschützt ist. Andererseits fällt auf, dass die Versuche über <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Proxies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Proxies</span></a> umgeleitet werden, um immer unteschiedliche Quell-IPs zu nutzen. Ein Schutz über IP-Sterrungen ist daher nur sehr bedingt ein Schutz.</p>

Battalion 👊🗡️⛓️‍💥<p><strong>Destroying Autocracy – July 24, 2025</strong></p><p><strong>Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.</strong></p><p>It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.</p><p>DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.</p><p><strong>FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.</strong></p> <p><strong>Featured Item</strong></p> <p>TechDirt writes:</p><p>Over the last year or so I’ve seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train.</p><p>Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn’t really surprise anyone—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)—but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod
