Welcome to Episode 458 of Destination Linux! This week, the crew is joined by special guest co-host Craig Rowland of Sandfly Security for a deep dive into the shifting landscape of digital threats.
In our Security Scoop, we break down the massive IDMerit leak that exposed nearly 1 billion sensitive records and discuss the "industrialization" of malware. We explore how attackers are using LLMs to create "Vibeware" or malware written in exotic languages like Crystal and Nim to bypass traditional EDR signatures.
Jill takes us on a journey through her Top 5 Highlights from SCaLE 23x in Pasadena, featuring everything from meeting the creator of Lutris to preserving Linux history with "Maddog" and her SCaLE museum.
For those looking to de-Google their digital lives, Ryan reviews Ente.io, an open-source, end-to-end encrypted photo storage solution that uses local AI for facial recognition, keeping your memories private and secure without losing "smart" features.
Finally, we cover the latest in the Quickfire News with Zeb.
