What are some cool ways to introduce vulnerabilities into LLVM so that even "secure" languages like Rust are vulnerable to software-based exploits?
- adrianN 9y agoBecome a regular contributor to LLVM for some time to build trust and then sneak in some complex optimization that under some rareish circumstances leads to exploitable binaries.
- eicossa 9y agoOP's probably a script kiddie who thought "Hacker News" meant the other type of hacker.
- ketralnis 9y agoI'd imagine they're mostly the same kinds you could have in gcc
- pksadiq 9y ago> I'd imagine they're mostly the same kinds you could have in gcc Except that you'll have to provide your real identity for copyright assignments. It may be hard create fake identities unless you are related to some big 3 letter agencies.
