    Community members! In this blog, we will continue a tradition that has existed since before we released Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront. The tradition is that we introduce you to a mission from the upcoming SP campaign in detail while briefly diving into history.
    Are you interested in history? Keep reading!
     
    Operation Market Garden September 17th, 1944.
    “Market Garden” , the largest airborne operation the world has seen to this day, takes place.
    The strategic idea behind the operation is to cross several rivers, including the Rhine River.
    With the allies crossing the last natural barrier in this section of the frontline, the Germans would be faced with the possibility of an Allied offensive straight into the heart of Germany.
    For this purpose, the 1st Allied Airborne Army must seize at least nine bridges.
    These bridges must then be held until the British XXX Corps arrives to take over. Its commander, Brian Horrocks, has orders to cover over 100 Kilometers (over 60 miles) in 48 hours. The plan is ambitious, and everyone knows it.
    At Nijmegen, the
    US 82nd Airborne Division is tasked to take several bridges; the fighting in this region will become known as the
    “Battle of Nijmegen”


    Nijmegen was bombed in February 1944
     
    The crossing of the Waal river Of the nine bridges, the road bridge at Nijmegen is the biggest. It spans the Waal River and has a total length of over 600 meters and elevated ramps on either side. In other words, it’s enormous!
    The 82nd Airborne Division is to take this bridge and four smaller bridges south of Nijmegen. The 82nd's drop zones are around Groesbeek and Grave.


    A Flak 88 in Valkhof Park, Nijmegen, near the southern bridge ramp

    The idea is first to capture the four smaller bridges and an elevated ridge in the area, followed by a move on the Nijmegen bridge.
    To reach the bridge, part of the 82nd moves through Nijmegen. However, the Allies bombed Nijmegen, and the city was heavily damaged, so the 82nd could not move freely.
    The ruined city is not the only obstacle to overcome; the Germans are also here!
    After a few days of heavy fighting, the decision was taken to cross by canvas boat; after a very costly crossing, the Germans at the north end were finally overcome, and the bridge was taken.


    After the battle
     
    The mission in Gates of Hell In this mission (the 7th mission in the storyline), which plays out on the 20th of September 1944, it's been a few days since the bridges to the south were taken (or blown up by the Germans).
    You’re with the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment on this occasion.
    Earlier, you and the 508th PIR entered the city, moving through Nijmegen to get to the bridge. The ruined city is a very challenging setting, and the Germans will not give up the bridge just like that!
    Wouldn’t it have been better to go around the city on the east side? Well, it’s too late for that now…
    You have orders to clear out the Germans. But they’re everywhere, and the streets are littered with the rubble of the bombed city, which doesn’t help.
    Approaching the bridge, you will be in awe of its size (it’s the largest map asset ever made in the GEM engine franchise), and you’ll find out that it’s well-defended; simply crossing the bridge to the other bank would be pretty risky.

    The solution is to cross the Waal river somewhere upstream by boat. In doing so, you would be able to flank the enemy. You will receive a British convoy delivering some canvas contraptions called the
    “Goatley Boat” , which can carry ten soldiers at a time. The crossing will occur somewhere west of the bridge, but to everyone’s horror, there are no paddles or oars! These were not included in the delivery; the men had to use their rifle butts to row across (If you are thinking that this British convoy might be a hint at our next faction, you are right. We can confirm the British Commonwealth as the next faction, and the first DLC for it will feature British and Commonwealth content from the Western Front).
    HD Link

    When you arrive on the other river bank, there is still plenty to do; it’s far from over. You must make do with whatever number of men you have left. You must work your way to the north ramp of the bridge, eliminate the German flank cover, drive them all away from the bridge, and secure the area. What could possibly go wrong?
    Well, you will see that when you get there. Just make sure you give it absolutely everything!

    Epilogue That’s the real story and the GoH version of the Nijmegen battle side by side: a tale of heroism, unbelievable sacrifice, and perseverance.
    Even though Operation Market Garden essentially failed, the 82nd Airborne made itself immortal in the process, at least in the eyes of the Dutch population. The 82nd's crossing of the Waal is commemorated by a monument erected at the location of the crossing.
    This is one of the many monuments in the region that commemorate Market Garden.
    Do you think you can re-enact the battle victoriously as well?

    If you want to know the answer to that question, you should really wishlist Airborne:
     
      Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Airborne  
    Did you know? The British called Highway 69 “The Club Route” but the US name “Hell’s Highway” stuck The bridge the Germans blew up at Son was repaired with wood beams the local resistance provided The 2nd Battalion of the 506th PIR was just 50 meters (150 ft) away from the bridge when it was blown up
    That’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by, and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

    At Black Hat 2024, SafeBreach security researcher Alon Leviev unveiled a critical discovery: two zero-day vulnerabilities that can be leveraged in downgrade attacks. These exploits have the potential to "unpatch" fully updated systems running Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server, effectively reintroducing previously resolved vulnerabilities.
    https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2024-21302
    https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2024-38202
    Summary CVE-2024-21302 :
    Microsoft was notified that an elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows based systems supporting Virtualization Based Security (VBS) including a subset of Azure Virtual Machine SKUS; enabling an attacker with administrator privileges to replace current versions of Windows system files with outdated versions. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could reintroduce previously mitigated vulnerabilities, circumvent some features of VBS, and exfiltrate data protected by VBS.
    Microsoft is developing a security update to mitigate this threat, but it is not yet available. Guidance to help customers reduce the risks associated with this vulnerability and to protect their systems until the mitigation is available in a Windows security update is provided in the Recommended Actions section of this CVE.

    Windows Servers might affect Remote Desktop Connectivity across an organization if legacy protocol (Remote Procedure Call over HTTP) is used in Remote Desktop Gateway. Resulting from this, remote desktop connections might be interrupted.
    This issue might occur intermittently, such as repeating every 30 minutes. At this interval, logon sessions are lost and users will need to reconnect to the server. IT admins can track this as a termination of the TSGateway service which becomes unresponsive with exception code 0xc0000005.
    Option 1: Disallow connections over pipe, and port \pipe\RpcProxy\3388 through the RD Gateway. This process will require the use of connection applications, such as firewall software. Consult the documentation for your connection and firewall software for guidance on disallowing and porting connections.
    Option 2: Edit the registry of client devices, by removing a key related to RDGClientTransport
    Important: This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows .
    Open the Windows Registry Editor and navigate to the following registry location:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\RDGClientTransport
    Find the registry key titled ‘DWORD’ and set the ‘Value Data’ field to ‘0x0’.
    Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

    The widespread IT outage affecting multiple countries and sectors has caused significant disruptions, particularly impacting Windows 10 users. The crisis is reportedly linked to a recent update of CrowdStrike, a cloud-based antivirus solution. This update has allegedly led to system crashes, creating substantial challenges for air traffic control systems, banks, broadcasters, and other critical infrastructure.
    Affected regions include Australia, New Zealand, India, and Israel , Japan. Monitoring sites like Down Detector have recorded outages at major services such as the Microsoft Store, Amazon, and airlines including Delta and Ryanair.
    Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has confirmed that the Kremlin’s IT systems have not been affected by the widespread Microsoft outage. Additionally, Russian flight and railway authorities have reported that their operations are continuing without interruption. This suggests that the impact of the CrowdStrike-related disruptions has not extended to Russia’s critical infrastructure, which probably hints that the infrastructure there is most likely protected by Kaspersky instead of CrowdStrike
    As efforts to resolve the issue continue globally, unaffected regions like Russia remain operational, possibly due to different IT infrastructure or security measures in place.
    Dubai International Airport says it has returned to normal operations after some of its check-in procedures were affected by the global outage. It noted that “airlines promptly switched to an alternate system, allowing normal check-in operations to resume swiftly.”
    George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, has addressed the widespread IT outage, acknowledging the role of their recent update in the disruptions. He stated, "The issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed." Kurtz emphasized that the CrowdStrike team is fully mobilized to ensure the security and stability of their customers, reassuring that only Windows 10 users were affected, while Mac and Linux hosts remained unaffected.
    As the fix is being rolled out, efforts are underway to restore normalcy across the impacted sectors. Organizations and users affected by the outage are advised to follow the latest guidance from CrowdStrike and their IT departments to ensure systems are updated and secure.
    For those already affected, CrowdStrike provides the following workaround steps:
    Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it. Boot the host normally.

    Kaspersky Lab, a prominent Russian cybersecurity firm, has informed its employees in the U.S. that they are being laid off and that the company is closing its U.S. operations. This decision follows the U.S. Commerce Department's announcement last month that it would ban the sale of Kaspersky software in the United States, effective July 20. Kaspersky has been active in the U.S. market since 2005.
    The closure of Kaspersky Lab's U.S. operations follows a series of events stemming from the company's antivirus software detecting and uploading NSA tools to its servers. These tools, which included Office cracks, were flagged by Kaspersky's antivirus as malware. This incident led to suspicions and allegations from the U.S. government, accusing Kaspersky of working for the Russian government. The situation intensified tensions, culminating in the U.S. Commerce Department's decision to ban the sale of Kaspersky software in the United States starting July 20, prompting the firm to cease its U.S. operations.
    According to Kaspersky’s report, on September 11, 2014, their home antivirus software detected a piece of malware linked to the “Equation Group,” Kaspersky's internal codename for what is believed to be the NSA’s hacking team. The contractor who triggered this detection later disabled the Kaspersky antivirus software, though the exact date is not logged. However, on October 4, 2014, the contractor reactivated the antivirus software after downloading and installing malware while attempting to pirate Microsoft Office.
    Kaspersky detailed the incident, stating, "The user appears to have downloaded and installed pirated software on his machines, as indicated by an illegal Microsoft Office activation key generator. The malware dropped from the trojanized keygen was a full-blown backdoor, which may have allowed third parties access to the user’s machine." This sequence of events contributed to the controversy and subsequent U.S. government actions against Kaspersky.
    Recent complaints have emerged suggesting that Kaspersky's AI technology is being used to power drones in the Ukrainian War. These allegations have further strained the company's relationship with the U.S.
    Kaspersky is one the best AVs on the market if not the best among all, claiming that Kaspersky is a backdoor for the Russian Government , but rest of the AVs that are Japanese/German/American/British etc , so many companies there are on market , but claiming that one is a backdoor and the rest is ok because they are friendly countries in term of politics is kind of funny
    Kasperksy on the NSA incident were able to detect and suspect other files to be malware and uploaded them to their cloud service which the user agrees on upon installing the software , then it has been able to detect the hacking tools that NSA detected and then US government became extremely sad that even their NSA agency is using Russian software to protect their PCs?
    So if it was Symantec or another American AV company that detected this , will it stay silent on those malware and then we can pretend those are the perfect AVs that don't report goverment's backdoors and hacking tools?
    Quote taken from ZeroDay website
    Yet there is no proof or evidence that Kaspersky was spying on US government and the US government proves their points with the "trust me bro" way and yet the Kaspersky software was able to do it's job perfectly and detect malicious software which all AVs should have done this , but the drama here is that russian AV detected that , and not mistake of the programmer that programs hacking tools yet having an AV active with cracked Office.
    The US goverment acted like the spoiled child that got caught cheating in school and now he is mad and want to ban the security person who caught him. 
    Do we recommend Kaspersky?
    Yes! Kaspersky is a highly recommended AV software that is able to detect and protect
    ESET is another option for people who have Russophobia. 
    Yet is the Russian Government more interested about what the average US person do and when he watches porn? I thought the American Government is more interested and spying about it's own citizens more than what a foreign government do , we have heard Edward Snowden and Julian Assange what they have leaked in terms of what the US government do to their own citizens in the terms of protecting them/nation's interest by spying on everything they do.
    We can take a look at AV - Comparatives test results here for non-biased recommendations : 
    https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-february-may-2024/

    Avast and AVG since they use same engine if I am not mistaken , placed the top position as it did 100%
    But since Avast were caught selling data of their customers , I don't really like to touch their products.

    Article by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
    Fri 28 Jun 2024 // 08:30 UTC https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/28/windows_insecure_by_design   OPINION I've been pointing out Windows security bugs since Windows for Workgroups showed up in 1992 and I showed how you could steal data from your coworker's spreadsheets using Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). You'd think Microsoft would have figured security out by now.
    But no. It's only gotten worse – much worse.
    In June 2023, Chinese hacking group Storm-0558 stole US government "secure" messages from Microsoft's Exchange Online. I was only surprised that the Feds managed to catch them – Microsoft certainly didn't figure it out.
    Former senior White House cyber policy director AJ Grotto said it best: he asserted it was fair to classify Microsoft and its products as a national security concern.
      Think about it for a minute. What other business could get away with having products that are so bad that every month – every month – we have a day, Patch Tuesday, devoted to the latest fixes to their seemingly endless flaws?
    These problems don't tend to be small corner cases either. No, take for example the latest one: CVE-2024-30080, a Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) remote code execution (RCE) issue, which earned a 9.8 out of 10 CVSS severity rating. A 9.8 on that scale, for those who don't know it, is a "Patch it now or you will be pwned" level.
    Let's not forget CVE-2024-30078, a Wi-Fi driver remote code execution hole, rated 8.8. Microsoft admitted this one could enable an attacker to hack your PC to remotely, silently, and wirelessly run malware or spyware.
    Boy, does that make me feel warm and fuzzy about Microsoft or what!?
    Really, that's just life with Windows. In the decades I've been covering technology, I've seen this level of security crapola over and over again.
    What's really annoying me today is the security holes Microsoft is adding – by design – into Windows.
    I mean of course Microsoft Recall. This delightful AI addition to the next generation of Windows PCs would have taken regular snapshots of everything you do on your computer.
    Let me emphasize the word "everything." Your bank account numbers, your passwords, your cheat codes, your My Little Pony porn stash, how much money you lost betting on real-life ponies, etc. What would your partner think if they could scroll through your entire online life? Your mom? Or your boss using Microsoft Purview?
    GDPR? What's that?
    But, hey, who needs to worry? It's all safe on your computer, right? No one could get into your PC over Wi-Fi and start hoovering up all your Recall data, right?
    Oh, wait.
    Recall, which will now be optional, is a security hole pretending to be a feature. Even if it were not such an invitation for privacy invasion, I'm hard pressed to imagine what practical use it would be for anyone. We have more than enough useless data clogging up our drives without adding even more.
    Finally, thinking of over-filling our storage, in another "What were they thinking!?" moment, with the latest releases Microsoft made it nigh on impossible to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft online account. I'm not happy about that, but I could tolerate it.
    What I can't stand is Microsoft automatically sets up OneDrive to back up my folders whether I want it to or not. Not cool, Microsoft! Not cool at all. If I want to back up my files, I'll decide where I want them to go – not you.
    I only have 5GB of free OneDrive storage, while I have terabytes of data in my personal directories. And, no, I won't be paying you for more storage, thank you very much. Instead, I'll use one of my Rocky Linux servers running Nextcloud, and I won't have to worry about Microsoft looking over my shoulder.
    Besides, consider what the OneDrive automatic backup could do if paired with Recall? I, for one, don't want all my files open to Microsoft or Windows hackers. Do you?
    Is it any wonder I've been a Linux desktop user for over 30 years? The only question I have is: Will any of these latest Windows security fiascos finally get the rest of you to join me? I mean, how much punishment are you willing to take? ®
    ----
    It is true what this article describes about Windows , that it's an headache to maintain when coming to big numbers , because of updates and failing stuff every month and each time a new surprise with Microsoft
    Will one day we will start seeing people running away from Microsoft products?

    Recommendation for End of Support /End of Life Products
      
    From time to time, D-Link will decide that some of its products have reached End of Support ("EOS") / End of Life (“EOL”). D-Link may choose to EOS/EOL a product due to evolution of technology, market demands,  new innovations, product efficiencies based on new technologies, or the product matures over time and should be replaced by functionally superior technology.
    For US Consumer
      
    If a product has reached End of Support ("EOS") / End of Life ("EOL"), there is normally no further extended support or development for it.
     
    Typically for these products, D-Link will be unable to resolve device or firmware issues since all development and customer support has ceased. 
     
    D-Link strongly recommends that this product be retired and cautions that any further use of this product may be a risk to devices connected to it. If US consumers continue to use these devices against D-Link's recommendation, please make sure the device has the most recent firmware, make sure you frequently update the device's unique password to access its web-configuration, and always have WIFI encryption enabled with a unique password.
