    Code Running on Living Metal When Hardware Stops Playing by the Rules

    Software engineers love to believe their code runs in a clean, deterministic universe. But once you drop below the OS layer and step onto bare metal, that illusion collapses. Microcontrollers, avionics systems, and industrial controllers operate inside physics not logic and physics doesn’t care about your abstractions. 1. Hardware Is Not a Perfect Machine…

    When Cryptography Depends on Noise, Not Data: The Hidden Risk in Quantum-Safe Systems

    Quantum-safe cryptography is often promoted as the long-term shield against quantum attacks, but a critical blind spot is rarely discussed: some of these schemes fundamentally rely on noise and noise is a physical phenomenon, not a mathematical one.Once your security depends on unpredictable errors, anyone who can control those errors can start bending the…

  • When AI Learns What You Never Taught It: The Uneasy Reality of Emergent Behaviors in Modern Neural Networks

    When AI Learns What You Never Taught It: The Uneasy Reality of Emergent Behaviors in Modern Neural Networks

    Artificial intelligence has reached a stage where models routinely display capabilities their designers never explicitly programmed. This is not science fiction; it is the central challenge of working with large modern architectures. These systems learn statistical abstractions at such scale that new behaviors emerge—behaviors the engineers neither anticipated nor fully understand. 1. The Nature…

    Backdoors at the BIOS Level: When the Infection Lives Below the Operating System

    Cyber-attacks usually fight in the world you can see files, processes, drivers. But the most dangerous threats don’t play in that arena. They go underneath everything, burying themselves in the firmware that initializes the machine long before any OS boots. These are BIOS/UEFI-level backdoors, and once they get a foothold, they operate with a…

  • Mental Jailbreak: When the System Trusts the User Too Much

    Mental Jailbreak: When the System Trusts the User Too Much

    Modern mobile operating systems are designed around one fundamental assumption: the user is both the owner and the greatest threat to the device. This paradox is at the core of every security model in Android and iOS. While vendors invest heavily in sandboxing, mandatory access control, and kernel hardening, a single decision made by…
