#coldfusion

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
RationalWiki

Cold fusion, also called Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) or Chemically-Assisted Nuclear Reactions (CANR) by its proponents, is the claim of nuclear reactions at relatively low temperatures, rather than at millions of degrees. The most commonly-touted system where cold fusion is supposed to occur is an electrolytic cell with a palladium cathode that is electrolyzing deuterium oxide (a.k.a. heavy water, 2H2O or D2O)), but most recent claims about energy production involve nickel and ordinary hydrogen.

#TrueStory

Way back in the 1990s, I worked as a file clerk for #MIT's legal department. While filing patents for inventions, I noticed the file folder for #PonsAndFleischmann's #coldfusion experiments was empty. When I asked someone about it, they told me the #USGovernment came and #confiscated them. Pons and Fleichmann's experiments did not pan out (or so we were told), but the fact that the government can just grab potentially game-changing inventions was a bit unnerving (and then I found out about #NikolaTesla...).

Revisiting the cold case of cold fusion

by Curtis P. Berlinguette, et al.
Published: 27 May 2019

Abstract:
The 1989 claim of ‘cold fusion’ was publicly heralded as the future of clean energy generation. However, subsequent failures to reproduce the effect heightened scepticism of this claim in the academic community, and effectively led to the disqualification of the subject from further study. Motivated by the possibility that such judgement might have been premature, we embarked on a multi-institution programme to re-evaluate cold fusion to a high standard of scientific rigour. Here we describe our efforts, which have yet to yield any evidence of such an effect. Nonetheless, a by-product of our investigations has been to provide new insights into highly hydrided metals and low-energy nuclear reactions, and we contend that there remains much interesting science to be done in this underexplored parameter space.

NatureRevisiting the cold case of cold fusion - NatureThree years of investigation by a multi-disciplinary team into claims of ‘cold fusion’ found no evidence that the phenomenon exists, but identified a parameter space potentially worthy of further exploration.

Get up to speed on the week's infosec news before another week in the trenches:

Last week's patch Tuesday had SmartScreen bypasses and the Ping of Death, but nothing could beat the #Outlook zero-click credential leak that #Microsoft patche-er, uh, wait, no not quite patched - turns out you can still abuse it locally to harvest NTLM credentials, yikes!

Non-transitive trusts have one job - to enable cross-domain authentication between only the two domains that maintain it. Turns out, that's not the case - you can actually pivot between domains and forests, authenticating to Services well outside the intended scope of the trust. And Microsoft aren't going to fix it.

#Emotet have realised in week two of their return that there's more to life than Macros, and have joined in the abuse of #OneNote files to deliver their lures.

In the world of ransomware, #BianLian have opted to focus on exfil-and-extortion campaigns, after Avast released a pesky decryptor for their ransomware in January this year. #CISA have opened their books and shared a detailed profile on #LockBit 3.0's favoured TTPs and tooling that's worth a read.

#Google TAG have ousted Microsoft taking the easy way out in their previous patch of a SmartScreen bypass, opting to issue a half-baked patch that the #Magniber ransomware crew quickly circumvented, enabling them to deliver over 100,000 malicous lures unencumbered by the now-patched security control.

If you're running Adobe's ColdFusion, Aruba ClearPass, or SAP software - you're going to want to make sure you caught and patched these vulnerabilities that debuted last week.

#Redteam members have a new and improved AD lab environment to play in, as well as new evasion techniques for remote shells and macros to add to the toolkit!

Offensive Security have a gift for the #blueteam in the defensive Kali Purple distro, and we've caught a bunch of awesome write-ups to help in scaling Detection Engineering and mitigating common initial access vectors.

Catch all this and much more in this week's newsletter:
