Pushing an information engine to its limits

The molecules that make up the matter around us are in constant motion. What if we could harness that energy and put it to use? Over 150 years ago Maxwell theorized that if molecules’ motion could be measured accurately, this information could be used to power an engine. Until recently this was a thought experiment, but technological breakthroughs have made it possible to build working information engines in the lab. Researchers have now teamed up to build an information engine and test its limits.

Malicious Python Script with a “Best Before” Date, (Thu, Jun 6th)

When you buy some fresh food, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the best-before date. I found a funny piece of malicious Python script that implements the same technique. It will execute only before a specified date (Jun 10th in this case). The script purpose is classic: it will fetch a payload from a remote site, inject it in memory and start a new thread. Such payload are usually related to CobaltStike. I think that the script is still being developed and the attacker tested its score on VT because the payload is fetched from an RFC1918 IP address.
