Security : VPN's and Hydra Catapult, WireGuard and more ...

Today a little about security with VPN...

Hydra Catapult is a protocol developed by AnchorFree to deliver blazing-fast download and upload speeds over a secure VPN ...

This protocol was developed by Hotspot Shield.

One of the key features of Catapult Hydra is its use of optimized algorithms for data transmission, which dynamically adjust the speed and quality of the connection based on network conditions.

Hydra is able to block many VPN blocks, as it goes mostly unnoticed. That being said, Large Government entities can usually identify Hydra

When using the WireGuard protocol, the Split tunneling functionality is not available. If you want to use this functionality, choose a different protocol.

• ExpressVPN
• NordVPN
• Private Internet Access
• Surfshark
• CyberGhost
• ProtonVPN
• IPVanish
• Hotspot Shield
• TunnelBear
• VyprVPN

NOTE:

Hydra VPN can be hacked not because it is Hydra specifically, but because it is a free service without public security audits, may rely on less secure servers, and can be compromised through weak passwords vulnerable to brute‑force tools like Hydra, making a premium VPN with independent audits a safer choice.

Se the basic of a hacking vpn from Top10VPN - the official youtube channel.

Security : Rust Binder contains the following unsafe operation on kernel.

This operation is unsafe because when touching the prev/next pointers of a list element, we have to ensure that no other thread is also touching them in parallel. If the node is present in the list that `remove` is called on, then that is fine because we have exclusive access to that list. If the node is not in any list, then it's also ok. But if it's present in a different list that may be accessed in parallel, then that may be a data race on the prev/next pointers.

News : ... linux kernel new design ...

This patch series introduces multikernel architecture support, enabling multiple independent kernel instances to coexist and communicate on a single physical machine. Each kernel instance can run on dedicated CPU cores while sharing the underlying hardware resources. The multikernel architecture provides several key benefits: - Improved fault isolation between different workloads - Enhanced security through kernel-level separation - Better resource utilization than traditional VM (KVM, Xen etc.) - Potential zero-down kernel update with KHO (Kernel Hand Over)

News : Fedora 42 (Adams) !

Fedora 42 is a version of Fedora released to the public on 15 April 2025[1], under the codename "Adams". This version is notably the first version since Fedora 23 to use a codename. This version updates GNOME to version 48.

See the wikipedia article.

Yesterday I installed the Fedora Linux distro with version 42 also known as Adams, on the old Cosmic environment.

The packages were installed correctly and updated to version 42. The Cosmic environment, although it has a pretty good design, is just as poor as some of the implemented applications. I tried with about three screenshot applications to take a screenshot and I couldn't succeed. I noticed some packages for basic and cosmic implementation, but they didn't solve anything. Moreover, it seems that cosmic is related to rust and it's throwing me some strange messages!!!

I had to take a picture of the screen for this installation ... after all, it is a test version from the Fedora team based on RedHat linux!
