Social media giant Facebook today launched the Hacker Plus bug bounty program, and referenced airlines and hotel chains’ member loyalty reward policies. In other words, if you have a good record in the past, Hacker Plus will also give the bug discoverer some extra bounty and special treatment. Any researcher who has submitted a bug to the Facebook bug bounty program will be automatically included. Facebook stated that the company will conduct a "regular evaluation" of the performance of security researchers based on the cumulative number, score, and proportion of vulnerabilities submitted in the past year. According to the score, contributors will be given five categories of status by the alliance, namely bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond. Each group of security researchers has its own advantages and characteristics. The most common benefit is that they can receive additional rewards after successfully submitting a bug. Starting at 12 o'clock on October 9, 2020, UTC, Facebook will begin to calculate additional bonuses for Hacker Plus.

For the entry-level bronze category, the bounty can be increased by 5% (not more than US$500). The highest diamond group has a 20% bonus. In addition, high-level (gold/platinum/diamond) researchers can get an exclusive invitation to stress-test new products and features before they are released. Finally, researchers in the diamond and platinum groups will also be invited to participate in some activities (board and lodging are waived), but the specific arrangements will depend on the changes in the COVID-19 health crisis response policy. For more details about the FBDL project, please check the official website. In addition to paying attention to their own performance on the Facebook bug bounty program website, security researchers who have made greater contributions can also get cross-level promotions.

  Beijing time October 10 news, according to foreign media reports, the latest research shows that scientists should be able to create a "super magnetic field" on the earth, equivalent to the magnetic field strength of black holes and neutron stars. According to the latest research report by Masakatsu Murakami, an engineer at Osaka University in Japan, and his colleagues, bombarding microtubes with lasers can generate very strong magnetic fields, which will be of great significance for the development of basic physics, materials science and astronomy research. On October 6, this research paper was published in the open access journal "Scientific Reports". Most of the magnetic fields on the earth, even artificial ones, are not particularly strong. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used in hospitals usually produces 1 Tesla (equivalent to 10,000 Gauss). In comparison, the magnetic field generated by the compass needle swinging northward is 0.3-0.5 Gauss, which is the m...

  As for the Linux 5.4 LTS long-term support kernel, it has introduced many new features and improvements to provide first-class hardware support. For example, use zero-copy network to improve network performance, support Btrfs / OCFS2 file system and DTrace, as well as security enhancement and virtualization support for AArch64 (ARM64) platform. UEK Release 6 includes all Cgroup v2 features of Linux 5.4 LTS, a new parallel optimization framework for CPU-intensive work, and kswapd and kexec for verifying the signature of kernel images. In addition, it supports NFS network file transfer, and can treat persistent memory as traditional RAM NVDIMM, NVMe structure/multipath support, pass-through commands, namespace write protection, and asynchronous namespace access improvements. Users who are currently using Oracle 7 major versions can obtain the Update 9 update through the official resource repository, or visit the official website to download the complete ISO installation image of Or...
