Testing Sinonix Controlled Data Exchange System with VEGMAN R220 G3 Servers and TATLIN.BACKUP.M Storage
YADRO and IT Bastion have published detailed benchmark results for the Sinonix system, a controlled information exchange solution designed to automate secure file and data transfers between isolated network segments while concealing topology details.
The tests used four VEGMAN R220 G3 servers, each equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6438Y+ processors and 768 GB of DDR5-4800 memory. Three servers ran Astra Linux 1.8.6 in the maximum-security Smolensk edition, while the fourth ran Ubuntu with Cisco TRex traffic generation. All systems were configured for maximum CPU performance including Turbo mode.
Storage was provided by TATLIN.BACKUP.M with 2 TB RAM cache, 16 TB SAS drives, and T-BOOST protocol enabled to offload deduplication and compression to the source. The testbed replicated a multi-tier disaster recovery architecture consisting of a synchronous DR site, a one-way safe zone, and a remote immutable vault accessible only via unidirectional gateways.
Workloads were generated with fio using 1 MB sequential writes under two profiles: a light scenario with four streams and queue depth 4 running for five hours, and a heavy scenario with 16 streams and queue depth 16 running for one hour. Each combination was tested both through Sinonix and directly, at MTU 1500 and MTU 9000.
Key results included stable throughput of 718–779 MiB/s in light workloads through Sinonix with no measurable penalty compared to direct transfer. Under heavy load the one-way gateway reduced performance by approximately 27 percent at MTU 9000 and 6 percent at MTU 1500, yet maintained consistent speeds without crashes or degradation over the full test duration.
The authors conclude that Sinonix is suitable for moderate backup traffic in critical infrastructure environments mandated by presidential decree No. 604, while recommending individual assessment for very high-intensity workloads.

Developers Achieve Native iOS 16 Boot on Redmi Note 10 Pro and Note 12 4G Using Modified Apple XNU Kernel
A team known as dipa-studio has successfully booted iOS 16 natively on Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 12 4G devices without any Android layer or emulation. The project relies on an adapted Apple XNU kernel and system components taken from the iOS 16.7.16 firmware of the iPhone X. While basic interface elements such as the Control Center, Notification Center, and Settings app function, the majority of hardware features remain non-operational. No Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular connectivity, audio, cameras, or GPS are available, and the App Store along with Apple ID login are inaccessible. The port disables a significant portion of iOS security mechanisms, and installation wipes all user data from the original Android system. Performance is limited because the CPU renders the interface at roughly 20-30 frames per second without a dedicated graphics driver. The effort is described as purely experimental, with the Redmi Note 12 4G variant currently reaching only the lock screen.
How to Earn a Living Writing Technical Articles on Information Security
A detailed guide examines multiple platforms where technical writers can get paid for publishing articles on information security topics. Skillbox offers payments starting from 3,000 RUB but requires a civil-law contract and tax reporting. Codeby pays 250 RUB per 1,000 characters for relevant technical pieces without contracts, making it suitable for remote workers and privacy-conscious authors. Duty-Free provides a fixed 200 USD per article paid in cryptocurrency, yet operates in a gray area under law-enforcement scrutiny. Xakep.ru compensates authors with variable fees around 150 USD for pentest-related material plus subscription perks. The article also discusses risks of writing for high-paying but questionable resources and provides a roadmap based on long-term career goals.
True Crime from Investigators: Solar Group to Premiere Real Cyber Investigation Series at Russian Cybersecurity Week 2026
The Solar Group has announced that its Cyberculture project will shift from poster exhibitions to a short true-crime series titled True Cyber Crime. The series draws directly from real investigation cases handled by the company's security practitioners. Episodes will air on Cyberbez TV during the SOC Forum, which forms the centerpiece of Russian Cybersecurity Week running from 26 to 30 October 2026. In parallel, the Cyberbez-Likbez track will deliver lectures and meetings across more than twenty universities between 5 and 26 October, targeting both specialized and non-specialized audiences. The main SOC Forum itself is scheduled for 27-28 October at the Lomonosov cluster in Moscow. Organizers state that the narrative format is intended to hold viewer attention longer than static posters while explaining concrete digital threats and recommended protective behaviors.
Personal Experience Passing HTB CJCA: What to Know Before the Junior Cybersecurity Analyst Exam
A cybersecurity professional who recently transitioned careers shares a detailed account of completing the Hack The Box Certified Junior Cybersecurity Analyst certification. The exam combines practical red team and blue team tasks in a lab environment rather than multiple-choice questions. Preparation involved completing the full Junior Cybersecurity Analyst path in HTB Academy, practicing on Easy and Medium machines, and following the SOC Analyst Path on LetsDefend. The five-day exam requires separate passing scores in both offensive and defensive sections, with strong emphasis on professional reporting using SysReptor. Key lessons include maintaining organized notes per host, documenting findings with MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and preparing thoroughly for the second phase of alert triage and incident handling.
