  Counterfeit TLS certificates issued for Google and major services

  Reporters say attackers obtained counterfeit TLS certificates that appear valid for Google and other major services. Such certificates could be used to impersonate trusted sites or intercept traffic if they are accepted by a browser or intermediary trust path.

  Cloudflare Plans Public CA for Quantum-Safe TLS Certificates

  Cloudflare says it plans to launch a public certificate authority that can issue quantum-safe TLS certificates. The move is meant to help prepare internet infrastructure for post-quantum cryptography as TLS deployments evolve.

  Cloudflare expands performance lead across top networks

  Cloudflare says it is now the fastest provider in 74% of the world’s 1,000 largest networks, up from 60% in April 2026. The update also introduces a new benchmarking approach using Cloudflare Challenge Pages alongside existing measurements from Cloudflare-branded error pages to better reflect real-world performance.

  Cloudflare adds Quick Tunnels for instant public URLs

  Cloudflare Quick Tunnels lets developers expose a local server through a public, encrypted Cloudflare URL using a single command, with no account, DNS setup, or open inbound ports required. The feature is positioned for coding agents and webhook workflows, and can output structured JSON for easier automation.

  Rustls Marks 10 Years with New Funding and Roadmap

  Rustls, a Rust-based TLS library, has grown over the past decade from a community project into a funded open-source effort supported by organisations. Its development has led to features such as post-quantum cryptography and strong performance, while the upcoming 0.24 release will focus on architecture improvements, input buffering, and session handling.

  NetBSD Research Projects Highlighted

  The item lists multiple research and demonstration projects that have used NetBSD as a platform, including work on TCP for satellite networks, IPv6/IPsec, network access control, tunneling, spam protection, and a sendmail replacement. It is primarily a catalog of research activity rather than a report on a single new release or breakthrough.

  How RuneScape Worked Over 56k Dial-Up

  This article explains how 2004 RuneScape managed to run a 3D multiplayer RPG in a browser over slow 56k dial-up connections. It breaks down the game's networking constraints, including a 600ms server tick, TCP-only transport in a Java applet, and opcode encryption with ISAAC.

  Cloudflare Workers Gains Inbound TCP Support with gRPC First

  Cloudflare Workers can now accept inbound TCP connections through a new connect(socket) handler routed via Spectrum, removing a long-standing HTTP-only limitation. The first protocol supported on top of this capability is gRPC, with containers getting full-duplex support in any language and Workers supporting unary and server-streaming via automatic gRPC-web translation. The feature is in private beta.

  Crawl of 657,607 archived links finds most no longer load

  Researchers restored and crawled 657,607 pre-2015 links from an old 0.mk database backup to measure how much of that online record still exists. Of 655,178 crawlable links, 76.7% no longer returned a loading page, with many failures coming from DNS/timeouts, HTTP errors, or blocked access rather than clear proof that the content is gone.

  Cloudflare CT Monitoring becomes generally available with noise filtering

  Cloudflare says its Certificate Transparency Monitoring feature is now generally available after adding filtering to suppress alerts for certificates it issued on behalf of customers. The change reduces noise from routine renewals so customers can focus on unexpected certificates that may indicate mis-issuance or other risk.

  A First-Principles Guide to How the Internet Works

  This article explains how internet communication works by tracing a message from a device through routers, cables, fiber, and submarine links to a remote endpoint and back. It frames core networking concepts such as packet switching, TCP, DNS, and TLS as solutions to specific historical problems that made global communication reliable without central coordination.

  Remote Attestation for Verifying Host Integrity

  The article explains how remote attestation can cryptographically verify a host’s hardware, firmware, boot images, and other measured state using a TPM. It argues that this approach can strengthen trust in fleets of machines by preventing compromised hosts from silently remaining in service, though it adds significant operational complexity.

  Zig Moves Package Management from Compiler to Build System

  Zig has moved package management features such as fetching, initialization, and library resolution out of the compiler binary and into the build system process. The change makes this functionality easier to patch and secure, reduces the compiler binary size slightly, and sets up cleaner process handling for build-watch and upcoming build server work.

  Debate intensifies over IETF ML-KEM TLS standardization

  A Hacker News post claims the NSA is supporting standardization of draft-ietf-tls-mlkem instead of the combined ietf-tls-ecdhe-mlkem proposal, and argues this would weaken the design. The post says the IETF TLS working group held another vote after an earlier loss, and urges public objections during the last call period.
