Boring in the sense that nothing exciting was found,but encouraging that 1) nothing was found! 2) null-result publication is useful in and of itself, sometimes.

  There was a finding! A very very minor bug in the keepalive timer's rounding. I mean, it's something.

    Was that the reference to the 80% packet loss between two networks?
    • implying 8y ago
      The packet loss was artificial to test resiliency.

      The packet loss and artificial latency were what the authors refer to as fuzzing.

  > 2) null-result publication is useful in and of itself, sometimes. I want to believe, but try getting a null result peer reviewed.

    Ultimately this is a fatal flaw in the peer review system in the way most scientific publications do it. The review should happen independent of the result and ideally the publication decision should happen before the research is performed. (There are some publications that do something alike - it's called "Registered Reports" - but it's still a small minority.)
