Evaluating Large Language Models for Symbolic Security Protocol Analysis
Paolo Modesti, Syed Ahmed, Ioannis Sfyrakis, Derek Enodolomwanyi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20712 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20712 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20712
arXiv:2607.20712v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Security protocol verification relies on formal tools such as ProVerif and OFMC. This study evaluates whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can perform comparable analysis. We test GPT and DeepSeek in chat and reasoning modes over three runs on 130 obfuscated AnB/AnBx protocols covering 388 security goals, scored against ProVerif and OFMC. Chat models reach 69 to 81% recall at precision below 31%. Reasoning models reverse this trade-off, reaching 66.5% precision for GPT and 45.4% for DeepSeek, but detect just over half the attacks. DeepSeek's two modes share one underlying model, so the comparison isolates reasoning itself, which raises precision from 27.2% to 45.4%. The GPT contrast spans a model-version change and is only suggestive. All models perform worst on authentication goals: reasoning models detect well under half of injective and non-injective agreement attacks, whereas chat models over-flag them at low precision. Confidentiality is the exception, with F1 up to 95.7% in reasoning mode. Verdicts are unstable across runs, identical on 89.7% of goals for GPT but 74.0% for DeepSeek. Self-reported confidence is uniformly high yet shows no meaningful correlation with correctness. On this benchmark LLMs do not match formal verification, but may serve, at best, as pre-screening filters.

Introducing our new GÉANT Association Strategy 2026-2030: Powering Knowledge for Europe 🇪🇺
Built around three core goals: strengthening human networks, creating scalable digital services, and building financial sustainability.
And at its heart is a simple mission, to stay deeply relevant for our members and for Europe.
To mark this moment, we've also refreshed our visual identity — new logo, new website.
🔗 Read the full strategy and explore the new GÉANT:

The first record of the parable commonly known as the "Blind Men and the Elephant" showed up around 2500 years ago, in a Buddhist text from India. At this point it's pretty commonly known. I assume that most folks reading this will be familiar with some variation of it.
If not, it's essentially a story about people who have limited information making assertions about something: one man grabs a tail and says, "it's like a rope," another the trunk and says, "it's like a snake," a third the leg saying, "it's like a tree," and so on. Later variations are less kind to the men, having them not simply report their findings, but fight over them. The first English translation draws a parallel to religion.
This comes to mind for me, because social media has a tendency to incentivize us to make those hard assertions, to dig in, to argue our perspective as part of a spectacle. Free and federated social media isn't structurally that different from corporate media, so the incentive models built to maximize engagement by maximizing conflict tend to leak through the similarities in the user experience and the conditioning of other platforms.
I didn't really come here to critique the fediverse, but rather to remind everyone, "no one sees the whole fucking elephant." We are limited and there are necessarily some things so big they will never be individually comprehensible. Any system that relies on us all agreeing cannot possibly respond to those big things.
We can see that concretely if we look at the difference between "democratic unity" and "diversity of tactics." In the first model, everyone either agrees or gets forced to behave as though they agree (at least on some issues). That's how liberal democracy works. Diversity of tactics (which systematically described, for example, in the "St Paul Principles"), on the other hand, let's people align on goals without needing to agree on exactly how to achieve them. The reality being that often there are multiple "correct" paths, and sometimes those paths can only work if multiple paths are taken in unison.
No one sees the whole elephant. We won't even see the elephant later. People will still be arguing about the elephant long after it's gone. But if you want to get rid of the elephant, you're gonna need to accept that you can't comprehend it all and you're gonna have to figure out a way to work together that doesn't require a unified approach.

Buzz to Boom: Detecting Message Progression Vulnerabilities in Electron Applications via Segmented Directed Fuzzing
Jianjia Yu, Zhengyu Liu, Ziyang Li, Yu Sun, Yinzhi Cao
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20698 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20698 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20698
arXiv:2607.20698v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Electron is a popular framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies. Such applications consist of multiple processes with different privilege levels that communicate via message passing. When inter-process messages carry attacker-controlled inputs, they can propagate across processes and reach privileged APIs, e.g., command execution. Such a message propagation behavior is characterized as Message Progression Vulnerabilities (MPVs). The exploitation of MPVs is challenging because it often requires multiple steps, e.g., first arbitrary code execution in one process via message passing, and then command injection in another process using another message crafted in the first process. To our knowledge, existing works on Electron security only study unsafe configurations and malicious Document Object Model (DOM) content, i.e., they cannot detect or exploit these vulnerabilities that need to be triggered by complex cross-process exploits via message passing. We present Proton, a segmented directed fuzzing framework for detecting MPVs. Our key insight is to decompose end-to-end fuzzing into per-process segments along message-passing boundaries, where the goals of fuzzing each segment are either: (i) reaching a sink in the current process or (ii) propagating the payload to the next process, to enable the exploration of another process. In the second case, the messages seed the corpus of the next segment. Finally, Proton synthesizes crash inputs from each process to validate end-to-end exploits. We evaluate Proton against 589 real-world Electron applications, resulting in 23 zero-day MPVs. Among them, 22 lead to OS command execution, including projects with over 50k GitHub stars. We responsibly disclosed all findings. To date, we have received 13 acknowledgments, 11 fixes, and 11 CVEs, including a bug bounty from Vercel.

How the fly holds a single goal: normalization, not selection, in Drosophila FC2
Gioele Nanni, Christopher Lee
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18969 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18969 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.18969
arXiv:2607.18969v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A walking fly steers toward a goal direction, held as a bump of activity across the FC2 neurons of the fan-shaped body. These neurons also inhibit one another over distance, more strongly the farther apart they are, a feedback proposed to keep the fly on a single goal. We asked, from the connectome, what circuit produces this inhibition, and whether it lets FC2 actively choose one goal among competitors (a winner-take-all) or simply keeps a goal set elsewhere as one clean bump. Tracing the wiring in a single FlyWire brain, we find the inhibition is almost entirely global: four FB5A cells inhibit every FC2 neuron roughly equally, with a smaller, distance-dependent contribution from hDelta interneurons and a negligible direct component. A ring-attractor winner-take-all (the kind the compass uses) requires local recurrent excitation that the FC2 wiring lacks, so this geometry cannot build one; and across a range of dynamical models, including a spiking network, no version of the circuit locks onto a winner at the connectome-scaled reference coupling. FC2 therefore normalizes an externally set goal rather than selecting it, with FB5A likely acting as the global normalizer, much as the APL neuron does in the mushroom body. We are explicit about two open points: a different mechanism, mutual inhibition between two competing goals (which hDelta supplies), could in principle select at very strong coupling, and we bound rather than exclude it; and FB5A's inhibitory identity is a low-confidence prediction of the connectome's transmitter classifier, not yet measured, and likely not GABAergic. We then ask where the goal is actually set: the connectome nominates an upstream hDelta network and rules out the leading proposed alternative, whose neurons supply under 0.2% of FC2's input.

Trump is pressuring lawmakers to pass the SAVE America Act voter suppression bill
by attaching it to housing and foreign intelligence surveillance legislation currently pending before Congress.
The SAVE America Act would take a giant leap towards the Trump administration’s goals of wresting control of elections away from states.
It would also potentially disenfranchise millions of voters through its provisions requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registrati…

A rush for critical minerals echoes oil extraction injustice as harms fall on world's most vulnerable, scientists warn
Mining critical minerals such as lithium and cobalt fuels the "green" energy and digital transitions essential to meeting climate goals. But building the technologies that enable a sustainable future is generating severe, hidden environmental and health crises that the world is failing to track or address, warns a new report by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH), known as the UN's Think Tank on Water.

This — THIS — what Berlatsky said, read it, read the whole thing
and
the ICE murders are •supposed• to provoke a violent backlash from the population that will be a pretext for full domestic militarization — not the tentative NG deployments we've seen and the violence of local police force, but honest-to-god martial law in the US.
Murder is both a goal in itself and a means to other goals. Both.
I am quite certain that Stephen Miller et al •wanted• and •expected• an ICE agent to get killed in Minneapolis, assumed based on their misunderstanding of our response to the murder of George Floyd that that's what would happen, were baffled when it didn't, and finally cut back the invasion not because they were shamed out of town but because when 2–3 days passed after they killed Alex Pretti and •still• nobody killed any ICE agents in retaliation, they decided it just wasn't going to happen and they needed to try a different approach. Doesn't mean the goal has changed, just the strategy.

Halaand or Nyland as MOTM? For most it's Halaand. I think, for me, it's Nyland. Wouldn't argue about either.
Thin PK awarded and a silly moment from Neymar can't overshadow nearly 2 goals prevented.

Now we know just how much Big Tech’s pursuit of AI is costing the environment.
Both Google and Amazon released their sustainability reports this week,
and the numbers aren’t pretty.
Each company has pledged to zero-out its carbon emissions in the coming years,
but AI has made those goals a lot harder to hit.
🔥Google’s total carbon emissions are up 25% since last year, and
Amazon’s are up 16%.
A close reading of the reports suggests that both Amazon …

Most people think it’s just “extra income.”
That’s only half the story.
A side hustle is any income stream outside your main job or pension – but the type of side hustle determines whether you’re building freedom or just staying busy.
Robert Kiyosaki’s 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 explains this clearly:
🔹 𝐄 – 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞:
Paid for time worked
✔ Easy to start
✖ Income stops when you stop
🔹 𝐒 – 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝:
You own the job
✔ More control, higher income potential
✖ Still tied to your time
🔹 𝐁 – 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫:
Systems work for you
✔ Scalable, leveraged income
✖ Requires learning and setup
🔹 𝐈 – 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫:
Money works for you
✔ Potentially passive
✖ Requires capital and knowledge
👉 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭:
Not all side hustles move you forward. Some just make you tired.
Over my next posts, I’ll break down each quadrant so you can decide what actually fits your goals and stage of life.
