That's so cool. This is interestingly very similar to domain fronting, except in this case the server doesn't need to work around it because it will still see the correct SNI. Do D…

Very cool. The horsle demo made me think, how hard would it be to add a virtual memory address (or a non-8086 RAND instruction) that returns a random byte (that would allow it to p…

It emits a cmp/jmp still when arithmetic would be fine though which is the difference highlighted in the article and examples in this thread. It's nice that it simplifies down to a…

I see yeah that makes sense. I wanted to highlight that "magic" will, on average, give the optimizer a harder time. Explicit offset loops like that are generally avoided in many C+…

In my experience C++ abstractions give the optimizer a harder job and thus it generates worse code. In this case, different code is emitted by clang if you write a C version[0] ver…

I think you could argue there is already some effort to do type safety at the ISA register level, with e.g. shadow stack or control flow integrity. Isn't that very similar to this,…

Everything really is a file: if you do `cat /` you'll get back the internal representation of the directory entries in / (analogous to ls) And they still had coredumps at the time …

You can also press `s` to save data from a pipe to a file rather than manually copy pasting.

Ah you can use https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/pull/564 So you can do e.g. `patchelf --remove-needed-version libm.so.6 GLIBC_2.29 ./mybinary` instead of replacing glibc wholesale…

Yes you can do this, thanks for mentioning I was interested and checked how you would go about it. 1. Delete the shared symbol versioning as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/7338893…
