PicoCTF 2024: packer
According to this source:
-
The Trade-Offs of Optimizing and Compressing Go Binaries
Following optimization, tools like UPX can compress the resulting binary, significantly reducing file size. This compression is invaluable for resource-constrained environments but adds a decompression step during binary execution.

My website is one binary
Ah that's nice, long ago I used parchment.js to load a inform7 created z5 file on my website. You could try to compress your executable with upx https://upx.github.io/

Bypassing Windows Defender (10 Ways)
In this process, the given packer tool embeds a natively compiled PE into another executable that contains the information needed to unpack the original content and execute it. Perhaps the most well known packer, which is not even for malicious purposes, is Golang's UPX package.

How do you guys deal with protecting source code for your game when launch into steam or mobile platform?
Rewrite in C#, and use an obfuscator on the DLL. You can also write some parts in C++ as many variable and function names are forgotten when compiling. You should also encrypt the PCK, and see if you can embed it. If it's embedded, you can make it more annoying to deal with by packing it with https://upx.github.io/

Encrypted file in OneDrive Personal Vault Detected as Ransomware.
Another good example of false positives like this would be binaries that are compressed with UPX - the way it works is apparently very similar to how stub-loader malware operates and signature detection tools will flag it as malicious.

REST API in RUST with ntex
This will optimise the release binary to be as small as possible. Additionally with upx we can create really small docker image !

help packing sound in <4k
Then I compressed it with upx, cp small.exe smallUpx.exe && upx --brute smallUpx.exe, got a 10752 bytes executable, half the size, but still pretty large

Chainguard Images now available on Docker Hub
lots of questions here regarding what this product is. I guess i can provide some information for the context, from a perspective of an outside contributor.
Chainguard Images is a set of hardened container images.
They were built by the original team that brought you Google's Distroless (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless)
However, there were few problems with Distroless:
1. distroless were based on Debian - which in turn, limited to Debian's release cadence for fixing CVE.
2. distroless is using bazelbuild, which is not exactly easy to contrib, customize, etc...
3. distroless images are hard to extend.
Chainguard built a new "undistro" OS for container workload, named Wolfi, using their OSS projects like melange (for packaging pkgs) and apko (for building images).
The idea is (from my understanding) is that
1. You don't have to rely on upstream to cut a release. Chainguard will be doing that, with lots of automation & guardrails in placed. This allow them to fix vulnerabilties extremely fast.

Long Term Ownership of an Event-Driven System
The same as our code dependencies, container updates can include security patches and bug fixes and improvements. However, they can also include breaking changes and it is crucial you test them thoroughly before putting them into production. Wherever possible, I recommend using the distroless base image which will drastically reduce both your image size, your risk vector, and therefore your maintenance version going forward.

Minimizing Nuxt 3 Docker Images
# Use a large Node.js base image to build the application and name it "build" FROM node:18-alpine as build WORKDIR /app # Copy the package.json and package-lock.json files into the working directory before copying the rest of the files # This will cache the dependencies and speed up subsequent builds if the dependencies don't change COPY package*.json /app # You might want to use yarn or pnpm instead RUN npm install COPY . /app RUN npm run build # Instead of using a node:18-alpine image, we are using a distroless image. These are provided by google: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless FROM gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:18 as prod WORKDIR /app # Copy the built application from the "build" image into the "prod" image COPY --from=build /app/.output /app/.output # Since this image only contains node.js, we do not need to specify the node command and simply pass the path to the index.mjs file!

Or use distroless image as it includes one, among others. https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless/blob/main/base/README.md

MRSK: Deploy Web Apps Anywhere
I find Docker running a full Linux userspace a little bloated. Thankfully there are distroless base images(https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless). Haven't done service dev in a while, so I don't really have experience with this, but it looks promising.

Is it ok not to be able to run application locally?
One of the things we did that helped was to use Go for fast builds, and then we build our binary into Google’s distroless base container image. This makes really tiny images (like 20-30MB images) so uploading the container images to our container repository and deploying to our dev K8S cluster is super fast! This helps make deploys fast.
