Went to my first #Rust #meetup ever. It was fun, but very dismaying how a lot of participants talk more about #LLM than about language features or code written in it

#AIslop #GenAI #NoAI

I was looking forward to this writeup, and hoping that they do publish it (and that they actually go through with this switch for real). Good read, and crazy stuff (complimentary) in general… this is very very different way of software building 😳

bun’s blog post about the #zig to #rust rewrite using claude code is out – and it’s a good one!

lots of interesting details (burned through the equivalent of $165,000 in tokens)

So the bad news is I have been laid off.

The good news is that I'll have a lot more time to write in the short term, both book stuff and code stuff.

...anyone need a #rust programmer?

What Is the BabaDeda Loader? Analysis of a New ClickFix Malware Campaign.

The BabaDeda loader family has undergone significant advancements in its capabilities, particularly in stealth, evasion, and payload flexibility. Discovered during April 2026, this evolved framework continues to conceal malicious payloads within seemingly legitimate installer packages while expanding its functionality. The attack methodology begins with a social engineering exploit known as ClickFix, which encourages users to execute commands via trusted operating system utilities. This initial step transitions into a sophisticated multi-stage loader that employs several tactics, including hidden PowerShell commands, in-memory shellcode, DLL sideloading, and external payload storage.

To put it quite bluntly: as long as there were no machines, programming was no problem at all; when we had a few weak computers, programming became a mild problem, and now we have gigantic computers, programming has become an equally gigantic problem.

cargo-semver-checks output where the "function now doc hidden" lint is triggered, warning that the "black_box" function in library/core/src/hint.rs is now #[doc(hidden)] and no longer public API. The run took 6.7s total.

🦠 Malware Analysis
===================

KuinaExtractor: Six Months of a Rust Infostealer's Evolution

ThreatRay published a detailed analysis tracking a Rust-based infostealer family across four major build iterations and two parallel experiments from December 2025 through June 2026.

December 2025 — First Build

The earliest builds were already full-featured: Chrome v20 App-Bound-Encryption bypass via LSASS impersonation for master key recovery, theft of Roblox cookies, Steam sessions, crypto wallets, and Discord tokens. Exfiltration used a Discord webhook. Privilege escalation relied on a single fodhelper/ms-settings UAC bypass. GitHub served as both CDN and disposable VPS/RDP infrastructure via GitHub Actions.

January 2026 — Rewrite

A rapid rebuild added substantial reconnaissance: eight WMIC hardware queries, WiFi SSID enumeration, Windows Credential Manager dump, a routine terminating 17 browser processes, victim-IP geolocation, and a loop disabling Microsoft Defender. Exfiltration shifted to a Telegram bot. The single UAC bypass was replaced by a function-pointer table with seven methods.

March 2026 — Production Hardening

The cookie-theft mechanism remained (LSASS/ABE chain, extended with ChaCha20-Poly1305 for newer Chrome versions). UAC bypass moved to SilentCleanup. Browser coverage grew to roughly 40 targets including CocCoc. Broad VM and sandbox detection was added. This variant is still observed today.

June 2026 — "k0to" Rebrand

The build dropped the "Kuina" name and shifted focus to concealment. It uses a self-contained HTTP stack (reqwest over hyper and rustls) with its own CA roots, 28-byte XOR string wrapping including the Telegram C2 URL, and scans PowerShell window titles for analyst tools. The Telegram channel is push-only.

Parallel Experiments
• KuinaCookieExtractor (January): Leaner codebase, Discord webhook exfiltration, lighter anti-analysis (logs VM warning and continues). Linked to same author via kuina build user, KUINA_UAC_BYPASS_ATTEMPTED sentinel, and kuina1999 handle. Disappeared after two weeks.
• Zenith (April-May): Short-lived C2 experiment. Debug build shipped with verbose [DEBUG] traces to zenith_debug.txt, including author self-attribution. Mutex disguised as network adapter name. Panel at 103.229.53[.]18:3000 (Vietnamese AS135918). Abandoned within days.

The developer iterates quickly and learns from deployment feedback. The self-contained TLS stack and XOR wrapping in k0to indicate awareness of network-based detection signatures.

Branded Gambling Campaigns: How Scammers Are Exploiting Trusted Brand Names to Drive Casino Traffic

Scam advertising campaigns have been identified that impersonate trusted brands to redirect consumers to unrelated online gambling sites. These operations utilize paid social media advertisements on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, combined with fake app store pages and Progressive Web Apps. The campaigns target UK consumers primarily, with variants observed in German and Spanish. Scammers impersonate major brands including financial institutions like Monzo, Revolut, and Barclays, as well as household names such as Tesco, Amazon, Netflix, and Facebook. The scheme involves three stages: paid ads claiming brands have launched official casino products, fake landing pages mimicking app stores, and PWAs that redirect to gambling sites through affiliate tracking links. Typical affiliate payouts range from $50 to $350 per depositing player, indicating significant financial motivation behind these operations.

Second, an improvement to how we normalize types.

We'll need this to implement type-checking lints in the future. This will eliminate a large class of expensive type-checks where the previous logic was unnecessarily conservative and quite inefficient.

It's Thursday, day 4. Today's haul so far is ~2500 LoC.

First, making use of default-value stability which we previously exposed in rustdoc JSON. Pairing with Codex on this caught a subtle new edge case that affects which traits are considered sealed.

Copious test cases come standard, of course.
