A) He said in the talk that he didn't have the manual for that specific processor.
B) The whole talk was about a tool that automated the process of discovering hidden opcodes in a chip.
- userbinator 5y agoHe said in the talk that he didn't have the manual for that specific processor. That doesn't excuse the lack of attention to detail and doing research before spinning it as something new. Especially since this was in the publicly-available datasheet that one could find with very little searching.
- c-linkage 5y agoWhat about the part where he developed a tool that automated the process of discovering hidden opcodes? If _I_ were going to make such a tool, I would use the data sheet to confirm the tool did what it was supposed to. Given that he lacked the data sheet at the time he developed the tool, it still seems pretty impressive that the tool worked.
- blueflow 5y agoThen he should have it presented it as tool to discover hidden opcodes. Everything else is dishonesty.
