It's here! (Still need to test it on Windows 95 though)

6. I am strongly considering compiling MinGW so that I can compile Discord Messenger for 486 platforms because the current Pentium Pro restriction is imposed by the MinGW C runtime stuff linked into the LibCrypto binary which uses CMOV

MASSIVE rewrite of my Verification Theatre paper now on ePrint with added:

- Three new bugs that are *inside* libcrux's verified core,
- Comparison to Amazon's verified LibCrypto components,
- Many additional sections, discussion and details!

Huge rewrite! Go read it! eprint.iacr.org/2026/192
Verification Theatre: False Assurance in Formally Verified Cryptographic Libraries
Every formally verified system embeds a verification boundary: the interface between code with machine-checked proofs and code that is trusted without them. We study what happens when this boundary is...

Python: fuss-free use of Homebrew libraries for package dependencies - Adam Johnson
Some Python packages require native libraries to be installed on your system when you install them. For example, mysqlclient requires libssl and libcrypto. If those libraries are missing at install ti...

I think this could help against some backdoors (Dual_EC_DRBG in particular) and subtle biases, but would only sweep more catastrophic problems (e.g. Debian libcrypto) under the rug.

I worry a lot more about the latter than the former...

I also tried to get it to compile for Windows too, and it almost worked... but once I started linking in openssl (specifically libcrypto), it wouldn't reach main. But when I disable ssl, the plaintext sockets work fine. I guess I'm linking libcrypto wrong somehow... but I have no idea what's wrong.

Obligatory "containers aren't security boundaries", but sure. To some devs the term means "doesn't have OpenOffice pre-installed", but when I look I see very distro-specific libc, libcrypto, libresolv, glib-networking...
Then the dev I'm talking to mentions their deployment is a JVM or NPM bundle 🤦

I upgraded to Fedora 41 Linux. The only issue I ran into is some old non-upgradable devices that would no longer connect via ssh. I tracked down the issue to the libcrypto policy, and to work around it:

sudo update-crypto-policies --set FEDORA40

I just released FileTrove v1.0.0-BETA.3

This release comes with an updated YARA-X library and libcrypto.

A installer package for Debian/Ubuntu is provided, others have to compile themself.

There is also an updated FileTrove documentation page! filetrove.fritz.wtf

FileTrove indexes many files fast, detects their types and creates metadata for long term preservation

Probably the biggest organisational change we've made in pysam for a while:

Dynamically load libcurl and libcrypto in order to subvert Linux wheel repair and avoid these libraries being bundled into the final wheels.

(This organisational change affects only the pre-built Linux wheels.)
Prevent libcurl/libcrypto/et al being bundled in Linux wheels by jmarshall · Pull Request #1420 · pysam-developers/pysam
An alternative to PR #1415 which reapplied the CA bundle location hack to hfile_s3.c. Because Linux wheels bundle libcurl.so and are built on AlmaLinux (i.e., a Red Hat flavoured distro); and becau...
