Knowing just a teensy bit of 68K and x86 assembly, I still am shocked to hear that there are "something like 16 load and 13 store instructions". Super... cool. This post has given Starfighter a lot more flavour in my mind. Thanks, Erin! edit: For anyone interested, here's a link to that ATmega8515 data sheet: (caution, pdf) http://www.atmel.com/images/2512s.pdf

We're definitely not stopping with AVR. The original plan was, AVR, then compiler, then (architecture X), then launch. But compiler took so long that we're just going to do AVR and surface the compiler's IR as another architecture. We'll have (architecture X) done in a month or so. And a pretty hilarious "architecture" after that.
Sadly frozen pork belly futures don't trade anymore and haven't for about 4 years (almost to the day), and the Globex contract was GPB not GBP. But whatever, that sounds like a cool story and you should tell the rest of it :)
They must have written a s * load of code for this. Can't wait!
I kill me.
Stuff like when Tom called me and asked if he could have a truckload of pork bellies (CME ticker:GBP. And: I told him no.) delivered to our house.

I'm super excited for this. Micro Corruption [1] literally changed my life [2], and I can't wait to see what the team at Starfighter have put together. If you haven't yet, give Micro Corruption a try. It's the first thing I recommend when people ask me how to get started in application security, and everyone I've recommended it to loves it. You don't need to know anything about security to finish the first level, but…

It's been almost 3 years since we sold Matasano, 4 since Erin left, and a few years more to get to that story. Matasano started in 2005. Also: we're old. (The ticker is my fault).
