About m0nastic

I'm Chris Gale. I live in DC. Currently I'm working on security data analysis (mostly using graphs and Haskell), but I made my bones in application security.

I tend to avoid commenting on things I'm not pretty familiar with. Consequently, I don't post much on here.

    This is a wonderful sentiment, but as someone who lives next door to this place, you absolutely don't want to eat there. If you come to DC, by all means buy some food from there, b…

    A few years back I picked up "Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia Volumes 1-3" on Amazon[1] for something I was working on and they are fascinating. [1] http://www.amazon.com/Russ…

    I can't narrow it down to one (it's like trying to pick a favorite binary message format), but the best I can do: A Single Man - Christopher Isherwood. A beautifully somber story o…

    I've been using Haskell at work for the past two years, but despite the fact that it's been a great investment, I don't really like articles like this. I find evangelism gross, and…

    Lots of other people have suggested Neruda, which makes me happy, because he's fantastic. I think my favorite poem is probably "Under Milk Wood", by Dylan Thomas (folks have posted…

    For years I've tried to figure out good advice to this question, but I've never been able to successfully articulate it. Here's attempt++. There's two things that would be helpful …

    RSA isn't in remotely the same space as Matasano, nor would it be "one of the largest" if it were in that space. As I rock back and forth in my chair, silently repeat the serenity …

    I take issue with "often", as the vast majority of mobile phones don't have anything (even if there exist specific models which could have them). There was a brief window in time w…

    I've worked implementing both, and Bromium is basically as good of a solution to this problem as you're going to get, in the sense that it requires the least modification of user b…

    Ah, you're correct. (It's too late for me to fix my comment). I went over the issues with this version of quicksort in the original comment, but I still think it was a good example…
