an image of the sun eclipsed by the moon. it is an annular eclipse. the moon's apparent size is smaller than the Sun's so a ring of sun shows.

I wanted to view and photograph the October 14, 2023 annular eclipse near the centerline with my h-alpha telescope. Fortune favored us with a clear patch of sky at a rest stop on a lonely highway northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, only 1 km from the centerline. #astrophotography

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission.

The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system().

It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.
