Sur Linux, le module kernel du pilote NVIDIA est désormais open source ! - #Linux #NVIDIA #FLOSS

Why is the open source driver release from NVidia so important for Linux?
On 11 May 2022 NVidia announced that they are releasing an open source kernel driver for their GPUs, and this linked article shares with you some background information and how this will impact Linux graphics and compute going forward.
The driver will only support NVidia Turing chip GPUs and newer, which means it is not targeting GPUs from before 2018. Luckily I see this will include my RTX2060 GPU.
I’m still wondering if the sudden timing of this move to open source was not somehow related to NVidia’s source code being taken during the hack in February 2022, where Lapsus$ demanded NVidia “make current and all future drivers for all cards open source”, or they’d release the code themselves. NVidia had no doubt already been moving in the direction of open sourcing, but the hack may have tipped the scales for them.

So what can you do with these and how can they be abused:
You can modify the JSON and JS files mentioned in order to:
- arbitrary download binaries
- ignore download checksums
- execute commands as SYSTEM
- C2 on the behalf of applications
- perform file I/O as SYSTEM
etc.
...
A good generic tool should scan the local appdata and program file folders for instances of NODE.JS or JSON files (Maybe not Microsoft Store instances) and then have templates for trojanizing each vendor's custom #NodeJS and #JSON.

A #RaspberryPi with #RISC-V is quite unlikely in the near future
source: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/28/pi_at_10/
As for the future, a Raspberry Pi 5 is inevitable but, in a blow to those hoping for something even more exotic in the usually #Broadcom Arm #SoC, RISC-V isn't on the cards, certainly not in the timeframe for the next generation of Pi. "I can't go out today and license a RISC-V core," says Upton, citing the current state of the ecosystem, "which is even as good as the core of the Raspberry Pi 4."
...
The implosion of the #Nvidia / #Arm deal has also reduced the chances of a RISC-V Pi (in the 2030 timeframe), down from 20 per cent to 10 per cent, according to #Upton.

Взлом Nvidia: сливы, требования, слухи и домыслы
Группа хакеров LAPSUS$ (кто такие — неизвестно, предполагается, что могут базироваться в Латинской Америке, но это не точно) взяла на себя ответственность за атаку на американскую корпорацию Nvidia. И начала публиковать конфиденциальную информацию производителя видеокарт. По словам злоумышленников, они имели доступ к серверам компании на протяжении недели и скопировали всё, до чего дотянулись — включая исходники драйверов и прошивок. В сети ещё до официального подтверждения взлома появилась […]

Лица, созданные нейросетью, вызывают больше доверия, чем фотографии живых людей
Команда учёных из Великобритании и США провела три эксперимента и выяснила: во-первых, респонденты не всегда могут отличить снимки реальных людей от лиц, созданных с помощью нейронной сети NVIDIA. Во-вторых, порой ненастоящие лица вызывают у участников исследования больше доверия. В первом эксперименте приняли участие 315 добровольцев. Им показывали 128 снимков из базы в 800 снимков и просили определить, реальный это человек или портрет, […]

Doomed from the start? Why #Nvidia failed to buy #Arm from #SoftBank
source: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/08/nvidia-arm-deal-may-have-been-doomed-from-the-start.html
Before long, competition regulators in the U.S., the U.K., #China and #Europe were investigating the #deal from all angles, leading tech investors and analysts to speculate that the acquisition would never gain #approval.
So I had wished that the deal would be successful, because that would have catapulted the free architecture #RISC-V to the front. China would then no longer have relied on proprietary ARM CPUs.
