Indeed Certificate Manager 7.3 Adds OpenLDAP, Dogtag CA and Linux Domain Support
Company Indeed has released Indeed Certificate Manager 7.3, the latest version of its centralized certificate and key media management system. The primary focus of the update is Linux infrastructure, with the product gaining support for additional directories, an open certificate authority, and single sign-on via Kerberos.
Indeed CM now works with OpenLDAP and Alt Domain. This enables organizations to deploy PKI infrastructure entirely within Linux environments and avoid vendor lock-in for core directory services.
Another significant integration is Dogtag CA. The open-source certificate authority can now be used together with Indeed CM for issuing and managing the full certificate lifecycle. Administrators no longer need to handle the low-level cryptographic operations directly, as the system manages these tasks.
For access to Indeed CM services on Linux, Kerberos SSO has been implemented. Once a user authenticates to the domain, no additional credentials are required, reducing the number of passwords that must be remembered and lowering phishing risk.
Certificate protection has also been strengthened. Version 7.3 supports Rutoken BIO and three-factor authentication combining a hardware token, PIN code, and fingerprint. In integration with Rutoken Logon, a complex password scenario has been added where the password is automatically generated and stored on the token.
Additional features include storage of service notes about users and the ability to issue service certificates for client agents through SafeTech CA. The list of supported hardware now includes new JaCarta models.
Indeed CM 7.3 adds support for Windows Server 2025, Debian 13, and Alt 11, while remaining compatible with ALD Pro 3.0.

Pivoting in Legacy Hell: Navigating MIPS Servers, BusyBox, and 2014 Kernels During Internal Network Assessments
The article details a complete methodology for pivoting from an initial SSH compromise on an old Debian MIPS server to reach a hidden web admin panel inside a segmented network. It covers environment enumeration with commands like uname -a and ip route, followed by setting up a Chisel-based SOCKS5 proxy when standard SSH dynamic forwarding is disabled by server configuration. Scanning proceeds via proxychains with nmap using -sT, -Pn, and -n flags or by deploying static MIPS binaries directly on the host. Traffic is then routed through Burp Suite chained to the SOCKS proxy for password guessing against the web interface. The piece emphasizes practical constraints such as BusyBox limitations, kernel version incompatibilities with modern binaries, and the need for careful subnet identification. Readers are directed to replicate the full chain in the Forgotten Server task from the free White Hacker Profession course.
Neuromorphic Processors Deliver Reflex-Like Responses for Robots, Drones and Edge Sensors
Neuromorphic chips are optimized for sparse, event-driven data rather than dense matrix operations, making them ideal for always-on peripheral devices that must react instantly while conserving power. The technology pairs naturally with event cameras and temporal sensors in robotics, drones, automotive systems, medical wearables, industrial monitoring and space applications. Platforms such as Intel Loihi 2, BrainChip Akida, SynSense Speck and SpiNNaker2 already demonstrate working prototypes that activate only on meaningful changes in the input stream. Researchers at TU Delft have flown autonomous drones using spiking networks on Loihi, while NASA has tested radiation-tolerant neuromorphic designs for onboard decision making. The approach complements rather than replaces GPUs and NPUs, creating hybrid systems where the neuromorphic layer handles fast reflexes and conventional accelerators manage complex models.
K2 Cloud Adds Native OVN Traffic Mirroring for NTA/NDR Deployment in Public Cloud
K2 Cloud has implemented traffic mirroring for virtual machine interfaces inside overlay networks built on OVN, solving a long-standing gap that prevented NTA/NDR systems from operating in Russian public clouds. The company contributed the feature upstream, and the patch was accepted into the main OVN codebase. The solution supports source, destination, and mirroring session objects together with optional match/action filters that eliminate duplicate packets, reduce load on sensors, and allow traffic distribution across multiple analyzers. Testing with Positive Technologies PT NAD showed sustained throughput above 3 Gbit/s with approximately 400 000 packets per second and minimal packet loss. The feature works inside a single availability zone; multi-AZ deployments require one PT NAD sensor per zone. Management is available through the web console, an EC2-compatible API, and the official Terraform provider.
Bitrix24 Introduces Cowork/Code AI Agent for Corporate Task Automation and App Building
Bitrix24 has launched Cowork/Code, an AI application that combines file management, company data access, and application development inside a controlled corporate environment. The tool features an AI agent capable of executing multi-step workflows such as locating records, comparing documents, generating tables, and saving results to shared folders. It operates in two modes: Cowork for one-time tasks like overdue task reports or client preparation, and Code for creating reusable tools such as dashboards or notification bots. A memory technology called Radiant stores context from chats, tasks, meetings, and employee data to deliver more accurate, personalized responses over time. The platform addresses common risks of vibe coding by keeping code, data access, and distribution within the Bitrix24 ecosystem hosted on Russian infrastructure. A free tier provides limited usage, with paid plans required for sustained team operation.
