Nina Simone is one of 27 Black cultural icons celebrated in Awesome Black Creativity, with LEGO portraits by Dave Kaleta and stories by Richard Dryden. Swipe for a look inside, and preorder your copy at nostarch.com/awesome-black-creativi…

Praise for Awesome Black Creativity by Richard Dryden, with art by Dave Kaleta. Aaron Overfield, archivist and content manager for the Estate and Charitable Trust of Nina Simone, writes: “Nina Simone fought for Black people to see themselves clearly and to love what they saw.

The passage describes how she used music to protest racism and celebrate Black liberation. At right, a cropped LEGO portrait shows Simone seated at a piano, wearing a black headwrap and white mesh jumpsuit.

Even ransomware comes with tech support. Affiliates can report bugs, request features, and get help negotiating a ransom. From Dissecting the Dark Web by Lindsay Kaye, now available from NoStarch.com ☠️

Page 246 of Dissecting the Dark Web by Lindsay Kaye. A screenshot shows the Ragnar Locker ransomware group’s “Wall of Shame,” with victim names blacked out. The surrounding text explains how ransomware groups use leak sites to threaten victims with the publication of stolen files, pressuring them to pay.

Page 247 of Dissecting the Dark Web by Lindsay Kaye, headed “The Rise of the Ransomware-as-a-Service Model.” The text explains how ransomware groups provide software and services to affiliates in exchange for a share of their profits.

Swipe for a sneak peek at the ground-control software lab in The Spacecraft Hacker’s Handbook 🪐 👽

Page 175 of The Spacecraft Hacker’s Handbook, featuring “Getting to Remote Code Execution.” The authors investigate whether COSMOS’s Script Runner can execute operating-system commands. A Ruby example returns user and group IDs. Instructions introduce examining the script-related requests in Burp Suite.

Page 176 of The Spacecraft Hacker’s Handbook. A Burp Suite screenshot shows HTTP request filtering. Code examples and instructions explain inspecting and modifying an API request to create a Ruby script in OpenC3, then checking that the script runs in COSMOS.

Page 177 of The Spacecraft Hacker’s Handbook. Code listings show three requests used to create, lock, and run a script in COSMOS. The lab then prepares a reverse-shell connection from a Docker container to the host computer, with network-interface output and netcat commands.

Page 178 of The Spacecraft Hacker’s Handbook. Three Burp Suite screenshots show creating, locking, and running a reverse-shell script. Terminal output confirms a connection and command execution inside an OpenC3 container. A section titled “Developing an Exploit” introduces combining this capability with cross-site scripting.
