You read your chips' datasheets that go in detail on pinouts and protocols. You use logic analyzers that capture signals and programmatically decode a multitude of protocols from t…

Nice to see another static analysis tool. It looks like the compilation database is only used for discovering source files, without any additional cross translation unit analysis […

> Fraud detection in transaction data is mostly SQL. Not machine learning, not graph databases, not whatever Gartner is hyping this year. SQL, run against the right tables, with th…

The author is referring to limitations in analysing banking: > Ghidra supports the 8051 architecture but not code banking. Usually in these ISAs an I/O port or a register sets the …

Which drives and parameters for the READ BUF SCSI command yielded the expected 2366 bytes per sector? I imagine that it was combined with seeks to each sector before reading from t…

Nice work Dmitry, looking forward to read your next article. The later model Pixter Multimedia had the full memory space accessible via JTAG, which is how some carts and even boot …

For ARM (32-bit): https://alexaltea.github.io/unicorn.js/ or https://cpulator.01xz.net/ For other architectures, it feels like a missed opportunity to not have an independent WASM …

I found their ELF format specification to have a decent coverage, even if not completely exhaustive (e.g. some debug info isn't breakdown after a certain point, but it just might b…

Besides the implementation effort in building from scratch, it also opens you up to unknown unknowns, while the limitations of mature software are better defined. Just because Jeps…

Nice, also check these projects that target earlier versions: * Rust9x: Compile Rust code for Windows 95, NT and above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31112273 * Rust on MIPS…

Without discrediting the author, as it's always cool to share these findings, was anyone actively looking for this over 27 years? A lot of the times, it just happens that someone w…

Can you elaborate on that "little more work", given that resizing on demand isn't sufficient for this use-case, and predictive scaling is also out of the question?

AWS autoscaling does not take your application logic into account, which means that aggresive downscaling will, at worst, lead your applications to fail. I'll give a specific examp…

Sleep obfuscation seems to be viable because scanners only execute periodically. I'm not very familiar with Windows internals, but why don't these scanners hook the VirtualProtect …

x/w is a gdb command to dereference and print (x) 1 word-sized data (w) at the address given by the expression. So 0x08001ea1 was the unaligned address stored at $rsp + 8, passed a…

I wonder if MAME would work as an open-source alternative for these simulations. The built-in debugger and memory views cover most of that, and it doesn't take much to write a mini…

Unfortunately, there's little curation of interesting debugging case studies or "debugmes". You can try to scavenge bug trackers, but they aren't optimized for this, just a bag of …

The implementation was not saving any of the ymm registers, you can see this in the bug report's attached patch. It also took me a while to get, because the last snippet in the wri…

Supposedly there's an easter egg in Windows CE's Solitaire [1] that has never managed to surface, beyond someone posting part of the credits text in a comment. No screenshots, vide…
