В прошлых статьях я рассказывал, как устроен мой тренажёр инцидентов, и разбирал кейс с 502 Bad Gateway. Сегодня утром я релизнул два новых режима: «дежурство недели» и публичный профиль игрока. Покажу, как они устроены: там нет ни крона, ни новых таблиц, и всё равно есть пара мест, где легко ошибиться.

— Практическое руководство для начинающих специалистов Blue Team: проверяем процессы, службы systemd, сетевые соединения и задания cron без установки дополнительных инструментов.

Представим ситуацию: сервер неожиданно начал потреблять больше ресурсов, появились неизвестные сетевые соединения, а после перезагрузки снова запускается процесс, который администратор вроде бы уже останавливал.

Это не обязательно означает взлом. Причиной может быть неисправное приложение, некорректная конфигурация службы, резервное копирование или обычная задача обслуживания.

Но иногда подобные признаки указывают на нежелательную активность. В этом случае специалисту важно понять три вещи:

Mohamed Amersi is suing over Panorama episode that made claims of his suspected involvement in corruption

A Conservative and Reform UK donor lost out on a knighthood and a peerage amid claims of his involvement in corruption, the high court has heard at the start of his defamation case against the BBC.

An episode of Panorama in 2021 and a BBC article caused “very serious harm” to Mohamed Amersi, his barrister, Oliver Powell, said on Wednesday.

• Keepers rebuild the innings to reach 330-4 at the close

• Green sparkles but Labuschagne duck must be the end

If Cape Town’s first day was a rollercoaster, the second was some more sedate form of transport, though it continued with ups and downs fitting its mountainous backdrop. Twice, South Africa produced double strikes to stall promising Australian positions; twice the Australians rebuilt. Finally, Josh Inglis and Alex Carey pushed Australia in front, 330 for four to South Africa’s all out 329, ready to surge on through day three with those six wickets left in hand.

While Travis Head was there, Australia’s first session threatened to match South Africa’s the day before, when Aiden Markram and Marques Ackerman had piled on 140 against a bewildered attack. Head threw his hands at width, mixing luck with skill for seven boundaries. His new foil Matthew Renshaw showed contrasting temperament for the opening role, leaving and defending the new ball with the clarity he had shown in the middle order in Durban, underlining why he was the original candidate to replace Jake Weatherald at the top before the selectors’ brief and ill-fated Nic Maddinson excursion.

Both Obama and Trump are on the campaign trail, but only one of them appears to be descending into madness

Barack Obama versus Donald Trump. It is the presidential election that never happened but has come to define an era of US politics.

Obama is back on the campaign trail for the midterms, still electrifying crowds, earning shouts of “We love you!” and skewering his successor. “What’s up with the gold?” he asked a crowd in Detroit. “I mean, he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” This has, predictably, set off a mini culture war involving questions of elitism and the tastefulness of chain restaurants.

John Healey promised to steer Britain through “global economic storms” as he announced an energy giveaway of £100 to 80% of households in England, funded by a smaller than expected windfall tax on banks.

In his first budget, the chancellor said 20 million households in council tax bands A to D would receive a £100 payment – a measure he said would cost £2.6bn.

Charges against him are unclear after return to Iran despite being sentenced last year for ‘propaganda activities’

An Iranian court has handed the award-winning film director Jafar Panahi a new prison sentence of five years and one month and ordered the seizure of all his assets.

The 66-year-old, who won the Palme d’Or at Cannes last year for It Was Just an Accident, was sentenced in absentia, his lawyer, Mostafa Nili, told the Iranian news outlet Emtedad. The court also imposed a two-year travel ban and barred him from using social media for two years, Nili said.

В прошлых статьях я рассказывал, как "немножко обманывать" игрока и давать ему ощущение естественного поведения игры, про давно известные приёмы, которые широко опробованы в сингловых играх. Но всё меняется, когда появляется сеть и логику приходится разносить между сервером и клиентами, и выясняется, что матч не должен одновременно владеть инвентарём, аккаунтами и прочим хозяйством игры, а компьютер, на котором игра запущена, внезапно... принадлежит игроку, а не разработчику. Если мы по недосмотру доверили клиенту право сообщать серверу, где находится персонаж, сколько у него денег и кого он только что убил, то рано или поздно найдётся человек, который трактует эти права гораздо шире, чем предполагал разработчик.

Обязательно находится Вася, который играет давно и на рейтинг ему в общем-то пофиг, но проигрывать он не любит. Не любит настолько, что готов потратить на подготовку к матчу больше денег и времени, чем на сам матч, а его соперник заводчанин Василий, который приходит вечером после работы и хочет просто поиграть, имеет средний компьютер, домашний Wi-Fi через две стены и реакцию уставшего человека. Василий иногда выигрывает, но чаще проигрывает, и его это в целом устраивает, пока он уверен, что проигрывает честно.

Васю клеймят позорным словом "читер" и представляют как человека с аимботом, который неестественно быстро переводит прицел на головы противников за стеной, и это, наверное, самый зрелищный вариант и его легко показать в ролике и легко заклеймить в комментариях. Но технически аимбот всего лишь один из простейших представителей большого семейства способов сказать игре неправду, причём неправда работает в обе стороны. И если можно подменить то, что видит другой игрок, то можно и увидеть то, чего видеть не положено, или вмешаться в обмен данными, или вообще не трогать клиент, а эксплуатировать людей, экономику и доверие саппорта команды разработчика. Вася, разумеется, пробовал всё... иначе, какой же он Вася, а иногда это еще и способ получить работу, стать белым и уважаемым "консультантом по безопаности" и ломать игровые сервисы за зарплату, но это уже другая история

Twin brothers, 22, from Ghana and a 53-year-old American woman targeted older adults in 25 US states, officials say

Three people have pleaded guilty in a $9m romance fraud scam that targeted elderly Americans.

On Monday, the US attorney’s office in the northern district of Ohio announced that twin brothers from Ghana and an American woman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Fishing town in disbelief the morning after its footballing minnows beat mighty Arsenal on penalties

On a wet and windy night on the north-west coast of England, a League Two side sensationally knocked the Premier League champions out of the Carabao Cup. But this is not just a fairytale story of giant-slaying: Fleetwood Town and Arsenal have an unlikely history that stretches back long before Tuesday night’s game.

Arsenal played at their iconic Highbury stadium until 2006, and Fleetwood’s ground has the same title, being named after Highbury Avenue, the adjoining street.

Prime minister warns cabinet not to express opinions about future relationship with Brussels before review of options

Andy Burnham has warned ministers not to express their opinions about how the government should approach Brexit, as he argued that the Conservatives’ deal with Brussels had been more extreme than that promised in the 2016 referendum.

In another series of announcements connected to his plan to seek closer links with the EU, Burnham told ministers at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday that the current deal was a bad one, before writing to frontbenchers setting out his hopes to address this.
