A routine update to 1.1.1.1 caused DNS resolution failures due to a subtle shift in CNAME record ordering. The issue was resolved by reverting the change and proposing a new standard to clarify CNAME ordering in DNS responses.

The coming industrialisation of exploit generation with LLMs

https://sean.heelan.io/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cropped-oxford_7602.jpg?w=200
The user ran experiments with Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2 agents to develop exploits for a zeroday vulnerability in QuickJS, achieving over 40 distinct exploits across 6 scenarios, and concludes that LLMs will industrialise exploit development, making token throughput the limiting factor for state or group's cyber capabilities. The user suggests evaluating models against real, hard targets using ...
