The research, presented at Black Hat USA 2026, identified vulnerabilities in Windows and Linux implementations. Separately, James Kettle used an AI-assisted system called HTTP Terminator to discover new HTTP desynchronization techniques and an Apache Traffic Server zero-day. Kettle reported finding roughly 700 vulnerable targets, including government infrastructure and banks, after testing 30,000 authorized w https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/hackaday-links-august-2-2026https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/hackaday-links-august-2-2026#u36732Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:01:39 +0000Security researcher Malcolm Stagg disclosed NatJack, a new attack class that manipulates network address translation connection states to hijack TCP sessions and spoof DNS responses.

Engineers are working to stabilize the vehicle, but the technical failure has delayed the rescue operation until late August. While NASA and private partners continue recovery efforts, the spacecraft remains unstable. The mission aims to prevent the Swift telescope from falling, though the current instability of the rescue craft has created a significant setback in the timeline.Why it mattersThe Swift telescope requires a boost to maintain its orbit and avoid falling.

The private satellite is intended to boost NASA's Swift telescope, which is currently falling. Due to these stabilization issues, the rescue timeline has slipped to late August. NASA and private partners continue efforts to stabilize the craft and regain control of its orientation to ensure the telescope can be saved.Why it mattersThe Swift telescope is a critical NASA asset that requires a boost to maintain its orbit. The LINK spacecraft was launched as a private rescue mission to
