Release: VM Escape Exploit for Parallels Desktop Hypervisor (Pwn2Own 2021) https://zerodayengineering.com/research/pwn2own-2021-vm-escape.html (source code + video walkthrough)

A virtual machine escape exploit will typically require kernel privileges in the guest OS. In this exploit I chose to offload the reverse-engineered toolgate protocol implementation to a Python module, while keeping my low-level kernel code minimal, just enough to implement the attack interface - a nod to the principle of least privilege in systematic software engineering, which we miss a lot in non-trivial exploit development. -- @alisaesage

I am in love with these deep space ambience vids. Ever since I discovered it, it’s on in my living room most nights. I feel that it helps ultra deep focus, somewhere between Alpha and Theta brainwaves.

P.S. I hope you never watch TV shows or movies in the background? Even some wordless music transmits A LOT of information, which you are not aware of (which is why I find it difficult to find music that I like - I am kind of aware of the information which is encoded in it, and it’s not good for my mental structures). White noise is best, plus Endel for focus.
