I read through this and my jaw dropped. Pretty amazing detective work and a really amazing exploit. Presumably you could run Doom on it :-).
Sometimes I feel like it's hopeless but my brain cannot help but work on creating solutions to this sort of problem.
- mderazon 5y agoIndeed amazing and also very well written article. I wonder how much time it took to develop, I assume the whole general programming language from NAND gates is not something they had to come up with from scratch. Putting the pieces together though, that's a work of art
- albrewer 5y agoThey probably defined some microcode operations -> created a minimal assembly language -> wrote it in C -> hand-optimized the asm output -> compiled to "machine" code All the steps are things you cover in a computer engineering degree (I think), but putting them all together in a tightly constrained environment (or even recognizing that the exploit can happen in the first place) takes a ton of skill, resources, and dedication.
