Linux memory forensics has long depended on debug symbols tied to specific kernel versions. These symbols are not installed on production systems by default, and sourcing them from external repositories creates a recurring problem: repositories go stale, kernel builds diverge, and analysts working incident response often find no published symbols for the exact kernel they need to examine. Trail of Bits published mquire to address this constraint. The open-source tool analyzes Linux memory dumps without … More → The post mquire: Open-source Linux memory forensics tool appeared first on Help Net Security.

The shift is notable. In 2024, cybersecurity ranked third among external growth obstacles. By 2026, 40% of respondents cite … More → The post Cybersecurity is now the price of admission for industrial AI appeared first on Help Net Security.
