==== Topics Discussed

* Janvi Matani asked for advice on finding internships as a 2nd year IT student.
** Suyash and others suggested targeting small startups and reaching out directly to founders on LinkedIn rather than relying on job portals like Internshala.
* Rehan Shaikh talked about his work as a junior penetration tester at TCS in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) vertical.
** Discussed the freedom in his team checking in, checking out, and working independently on pen testing projects.
* Alpesh Bhagwatkar mentioned the new Android PixNapping vulnerability (CVE-2025-48561).
** It's a hardware-based vulnerability where malicious apps can steal OAuth keys without user interaction by layering intents.
** Google decided not to fix it until 2026.

* Discussion about NSO's Pegasus spyware and the incredible techniques used.
** Rehan shared the Google Project Zero article about how Pegasus exploited iMessage using Turing machine principles to create a virtual machine inside iMessage.

* Discussion about vibe coding with brain waves.
** A new technology that reads alpha/gamma brain waves through a headset and uses LLM to generate code based on what you're thinking.

* Rehan shared about the Operating System series by Adhokshaj Mishra.
** Back to basics lectures covering OS fundamentals, focusing on understanding why certain designs were chosen rather than just definitions.
** Adhokshaj has built his own OS and created a programming language in Sanskrit.

* Jaden explained what eBPF is.
** It's like an API for running code at the kernel level, allowing operations that would normally require kernel drivers.
** Useful for network packet filtering and kernel-level operations without the overhead of traditional syscalls.
* Discussion about the difference between syscall wrappers (glibc) and actual syscalls.
** Glibc wrappers like `open()` use variadic arguments (the `...` syntax in C) to provide flexibility.
** The wrapper handles default parameters and then calls the actual syscall.
* Chirag joined and discussed his work.
** Talked about the difference between product companies and consulting firms for sales engineers.
** His daily work involves gathering customer requirements for cloud migration and designing proposals.
