Using pulsars as ultra-precise gravitational probes to ‘weigh’ neighboring galaxies

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have identified a promising new method for measuring the mass of galaxies orbiting the Milky Way by using pulsars, some of the universe’s most precise natural clocks, to detect tiny gravitational effects across our galaxy.

The work, published on the arXiv preprint server, offers a novel approach for studying the hidden dark matter contained within nearby satellite galaxies. The findings could have broad implications for astrophysics and cosmology.

The study was authored by UAH astrophysicists Dr. Thomas Donlon, postdoctoral research assistant II, and Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, a professor and Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in the College of Science, in collaboration with Dr. Jason A. S. Hunt, an astrophysicist at the University of Surrey, U.K. The research examines how the gravitational pull of neighboring dwarf galaxies subtly disturbs the Milky Way.

Making Vulnerable Drivers Exploitable Without Hardware — The BYOVD Perspective

First, we use pnputil to deploy the driver package into the Windows Driver Store.

Next, we use devcon to create a new software-emulated device node with an arbitrary hardware ID that matches one defined in the driver’s INF file. This action triggers the PnP manager to detect the newly staged driver as the best match for the device.

As a result, the driver’s AddDevice routine gets executed.

US and Canada arrest and charge suspected Kimwolf botnet admin

U.S. and Canadian authorities arrested and charged a Canadian man with operating the KimWolf distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) botnet, which infected nearly two million devices worldwide.

23-year-old Jacob Butler (also known online as “Dort”) was arrested by Canadian authorities in Ottawa on Wednesday pursuant to an extradition warrant.

According to a criminal complaint unsealed on Thursday in the District of Alaska, Butler was taken into custody based on IP address and online account information, transaction records, and online messaging records that exposed his links to the KimWolf botnet.

The Scientist Who Plans To End Aging Forever — Aubrey de Grey

Aubrey de Grey believes aging isn’t inevitable — it’s a solvable engineering problem. In this conversation, we explore why society treats aging as untouchable, how “longevity escape velocity” could allow us to live indefinitely, and why reversing damage—not slowing it—is the future of medicine. He breaks down how our medical system profits from sickness, and how progress is slowed by fear and outdated norms. The end of aging as we know it is coming and it’s happening faster than you think. #preventativehealth #preventativecare #aging #health #medicine.
