Kraken, the US-based crypto exchange, recently stopped a complex hacking attempt by a North Korean hacker pretending to be a job seeker.

A very small, very simple, yet very secure encryption tool. - HACKERALERT/Picocrypt

HACKERALERT: > Notably, anyone from the core PG team willing to be an Owner? You don’t have to do much other than be a backup in case everyone else goes offline and no one can add new members. Without having spoken about this with the others my thought on this is that doing that isn’t a good idea. It would damage our independence and create a conflict of interest regardless of any possible good intentions. It would surely complicate listing the fork even if it succeeds. Generally I wanted to say thanks for doing this great work for quite some time! Despite of that I feel also one again think that we should be more vigilant on projects that are dependent on a single person. It says nothing about your efforts, I’d take my hat off for that.

It’s a great single-header C library called sokol_gfx.h (with nuklear.h for the GUI). I’ve been keeping an eye on it for the past few years, and I recently started using it for a personal 3d graphics project, so it wasn’t too hard to get something running quickly. HACKERALERT: > Also, your GitHub username? I’ll make a GitHub account tomorrow since my old one is deleted.

Depends on the tool. Browsers, messengers, and pretty much anything else that connects to the internet requires active development. Encryption tools like Picocrypt, most video games, offline media players, and text editors usually don’t. I think @HACKERALERT used to have that in his Picocrypt FAQ. Should Picocrypt-NG be recommended or should we wait a while to see if this project will survive in the long run?

@HACKERALERT please see the section 14 in the license and more importantly the “How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs” which states it must be set in the header of each applicable file. you can alternatively use the SPDX identifier: `GPL-3.0-only` or `GPL-3.0-or-later`

HACKERALERT: > append > would that be good as well ianal, that would clear it up well thank you

HACKERALERT: > VeraCrypt is open source Under which license? HACKERALERT: > if using Picocrypt is out of the question for you completely If nothing else I’ll just keep using it. JG: > You can encrypt any file anywhere. Doesn’t need to be cloud. But it is more famous for using it to encrypt files in big tech cloud. But it is not a necessity. What about entire folders?

github.com/Picocrypt/Picocrypt #### I'm archiving Picocrypt opened 03:49PM - 04 Aug 25 UTC HACKERALERT Hey Gemini, I need your help analyzing and understanding a final parting message… left by a developer for his archived open-source file encryption software. Can you me with that? It’s not ideal but that’s life. I’m moving into a different direction and am cleaning up some loose ends. I want to make sure I do the best I can for the project and its users before leaving. Read the issue fully… it’ll explain in detail. I think it’s also an interesting and somewhat ironic format. Looks like this means Picocrypt will no longer qualify to be listed on PG since Picocrypt for macOS will probably break soon and it won’t be cross platform anymore. The PG community can decide how to handle that, whether to keep, delist, redirect to a fork in the future, or something else. I just want to make it clear that the software is still fully functional and no different, it’s just frozen. Unless the core cryptographic design is problematic, which is unlikely, you can continue using it for as long as you can get it running or running from source. Open to questions and will stick around for 5 days, then I’ll hop off. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. It is my hope that the community will pick it back up again, but I offer no pointers nor have any ideas. The only case I would consider linking to a successor is if PG itself forks Picocrypt into their GH organization because PG is as close to trustable as I would consider (no offense). But of course, not expecting anyone to do anything.
