New HTTP/2 ‘MadeYouReset’ Vulnerability Enables Large-Scale DoS Attacks

This attack is notable not least because it obviates the need for an attacker to send an RST_STREAM frame, thereby completely bypassing Rapid Reset mitigations, and also achieves the same impact as the latter.

In an advisory, the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) said MadeYouReset exploits a mismatch caused by stream resets between HTTP/2 specifications and the internal architectures of many real-world web servers, resulting in resource exhaustion — something an attacker can exploit to induce a DoS attack.

Tinfoil Hat: Secrets, Conspiracies, Myths and Legends

The stuff THEY don’t want you to know. Who is they? The government? The illuminati? Are they the same? Who pulls the strings of power in the world? It may not be the people we think it is. And those running our world are not the people we elected. For centuries the powerful have kept secrets from the prying public. But with the advancement of technology, it has never been easier for the masses to seek out the truth — and expose the lies. They will stop at nothing to protect their agenda. Is this channel safe? Are YOU safe?

Grab your tinfoil hat and let’s dig into secrets, unsolved mysteries, coverups and conspiracies!

Is There Evidence For a Vast Multiverse?

In 1987, Steven Weinberg wrote a cute little paper entitled “Anthropic Bound on the Cosmological Constant”. I say cute little paper because it feels minor in comparison to, say, electroweak unification theory that won him the Nobel Prize. Weinberg was foundational in establishing the standard model of particle physics, and represented an enormous leap in understanding how this universe works. But his little 1987 paper, though more obscure, may tell us something about how the multiverse works, and can even be thought of as evidence for the existence of an enormous number of other universes.

Is Information a Fundamental Force of the Universe?

Researchers Robert Hazen and Michael Wong have put forward a bold new law of nature — one that could explain how everything in the universe evolves, from atoms, minerals and stars to living cells, ecosystems and even human civilization. At the heart of their theory is the idea that information is as fundamental to the cosmos as mass, energy or charge. Their law revolves around a concept called functional information — a measure of the ratcheting-up of complexity and function in evolving systems over time.

Wild New Theory Suggests Gravitational Waves Shaped The Universe

Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led to the cosmos as we see it today.

A new theory suggests gravitational waves – rather than hypothetical particles called inflatons – drove the Universe’s early expansion, and the redistribution of matter therein.

“For decades, we have tried to understand the early moments of the Universe using models based on elements we have never observed,” explains the first author of the paper, theoretical astrophysicist Raúl Jiménez of the University of Barcelona.
