Oops, you're right. I was thinking of those as nearly interchangeable but they're actually pretty different. I might give it a try when I have a chance, I'll let you know if anythi…

I wonder if an adversarial user could bypass the checks and achieve memory corruption / code execution. Maybe not a practical attack in most situations but a fun exercise. > This i…

Yes but at best their "solution" is equally secure, not any better.

That's a privacy violation, not relevant.

For the old version support. Why not do some compile time #ifdef SUPPORT_ES3? That way library writers can support it and if the user doesn't need it they can disable it at compile…

It doesn't bypass it exactly, it's still accessing it via virtual memory and the page tables. It's just that the kernel maintains one big linear memory map of RAM that's writable.

Citation needed. We don't even know if indistinguishability obfuscation is possible.

And everyone uses Ghidra exclusively where I work. I'd say we're a serious operation

Amusing because gmail doesn't even follow spec. I had to workaround gmail quirks when I worked at an email company. Better than outlook though. What a nightmare.

Half the time when people say they're using telnet (including in this thread) they're really just using the client as a TCP client, not doing anything with the Telnet protocol. No …

That doesn't work on any* NAND flash device, be it a flash drive, NVME, SATA, whatever. The block device you see is an abstraction provided by the SSD controller. In reality, the f…

To maximize device performance when wiping a drive to use for something else, I use nvme format with --ses=1. Which in theory should free all of the blocks on the flash. Really har…

As far as I know, there is NO way to securely erase a USB flash drive (barring some undocumented vendor specific commands that may exist).

They explicitly check if the referrer is hackernews and do that.

Another hackernews hater checking the http referrer I'd guess

Opus?

Switch to an ILP32 ABI and you get a lot of that space back

I don't know if it was filename exactly, but a similar story: > Jon Ross, who wrote the original version of SimCity for Windows 3.x, told me that he accidentally left a bug in SimC…

What's preventing a compromised kernel on one core from hijacking the other cores? This doesn't seem like much of a security boundary

My limited understanding is. There is no safe subset (That's what was just discontinued, profiles are the alternative.) And C++ code simply doesn't have the necessary info to make …

Maybe, but the first one was so incredible, why not play it first?

It did remind me of that. Tom7 is a treasure

ty is already in the same repo as ruff, so integrating seems likely
