OpenAI's agent chained decade-old DoS attacks to crash web servers in seconds

The next threat your server faces may have been helped along by a bot. OpenAI's Codex agent helped uncover a remote denial-of-service (DoS) exploit that can be launched from a single machine to render vulnerable web servers inaccessible in seconds, according to Calif security researchers. The attack works on default HTTP/2 configurations of major web servers including nginx, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, Envoy, and Cloudflare Pingora.

Windows GOG DOS Games on M-Series Macs

I bought a few old games from them: SimCity 2000, Theme Hospital, Syndicate Plus. And by old games, I mean games from my childhood that still play like a good game, and not like digital drugs the likes of which are available for free from the mobile app stores. Anyway, the thing with GOG is that for DOS games, they basically ship the installers with DOSBox inside.

Forget the fascinator: the dos and don’ts of wedding guest dressing

‘I’m asking people to do a lot, but that’s what it means to be a human’: Roberto dos Santos on directing the first straight-to-VHS movie in 20 years

The South African is taking the hard route to releasing his first feature film, and is no fan of AI: ‘Someone once said that if your mum can do it, it doesn’t have value’The new film This Is How the World Ends is a fine piece of work; the story of two siblings finding each other at a party held at humanity’s end, it is basically On the Beach set at Burning Man. However, what is really remarkable about it is its method of release, as the first straight to VHS film in 20 years. In the early...

OTora: A Unified Red Teaming Framework for Reasoning-Level Denial-of-Service in LLM Agents

arXiv:2605.08876v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents that execute tool-augmented, multi-step tasks, where latency is a critical factor for real-world applications. Yet an overlooked threat is Reasoning-Level Denial-of-Service (R-DoS), in which an attacker preserves task correctness but degrades availability by inflating an agent's reasoning depth or tool-use budget.

The ~500kB NBSDGames 6 managed to be published ahead of GTA 6

Which it not only surpasses in release schedule, but also in affordability, portability, efficiency, sustainability, Plan9 and MS-DOS support and everything else.

ParCo-SDF: Learning Prior-Free Partial-to-Complete Signed Distance Fields of Deformable Objects

arXiv:2605.29417v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This study addresses the partial-to-complete geometry reconstruction of deformable objects (DOs) from point-cloud observations toward precise DO manipulation. Recent DO reconstruction approaches often adopt implicit neural representations (INRs) to model continuous surfaces as well as capture structural variability. However, these methods typically rely on object-specific shape priors that improve training stability and limit generalization.

CBSE blocks 3.8 million cyberattack packets amid revaluation rush

CBSE said it successfully blocked a 3.8 million-packet denial-of-service (DoS) cyberattack targeting its verification and re-evaluation portal while maintaining uninterrupted services for students. Despite the attempted disruption, the portal processed over 56,000 applications for answer-book verification and re-evaluation. The Board said technical teams are enhancing performance and security.
