- nickpsecurity 10y agoThompson didn't invent or prove anything. He based his work off MULTICS Security Evaluation where Karger et al invented the compiler attack and submitted it in the report. See p 17: https://www.acsac.org/2002/papers/classic-multics-orig.pdf https://www.acsac.org/2002/papers/classic-multics-orig.pdf They invented many other attacks and risk areas you see today despite INFOSEC not existing back then. This was one 2 or 3 pentests that started the hacking part of our field.
