Why Washington State Wants to Control Your 3D Printer (And New AI Malware)

Описание: Washington State proposes a "DRM" for 3D printers to block firearm parts, and a never-before-seen AI-written malware toolkit is targeting the Linux cloud. Let’s dive into this week's Open Source news.

In this episode of the Iron Sysadmin Open Source News Recap, we’re looking at two major stories that threaten our technological freedom. First, a new proposal in Washington State could force 3D printer manufacturers to implement "blueprint detection algorithms" to block firearm parts—a move that opens a massive door for corporate and government overreach into what we can and cannot make in our own homes.

Then, we discuss Voidlink, a sophisticated Linux malware framework that researchers believe was written by AI. This isn't your typical script; it's a modular toolkit designed to infiltrate cloud and containerized environments with high-level stealth and lateral movement.
