I have much doubt that bot could deploy a code capable of executing on this vintage CPU architecture - security through obsolescence.

- bawolff 4y agoYou're right that probably nobody is targeting this... but also i imagine that dreamcast linux probably comes with a copy of perl and other common userland. No need to make platform specific code here. Just use a scripting language.
- justsomehnguy 4y ago20y/o perl and userland. Chances what your obfuscated, top (well not so top) notch code would run on it are slim.
- tmtvl 4y ago20 year old Perl would be Perl 5.6 or 5.8, any Perl code that doesn't use: use 5.010; # Or higher... ...would run. Yes, giving up on say and function signatures would be unfortunate, but Perl code tends to have very good backwards compatibility.
- rbanffy 4y agoIt’s not a valuable target platform, but you don’t need much CPU or memory to do a DoS. I know how to pull all circuit breakers in my apps and those endpoints WILL see even a puny node trying such shenanigans. Also, DDoS mitigation will kick in almost immediately.
- gyrovorbis 4y agoUh, guys, I just ported C++20 to the thing and the absolute latest tip of GCC12.2.0, Binutils, and Newlib. I'm also in the process of porting the Objective-C foundation framework to it as well... you have no idea how good the development tools are. This shit's more modern than what I have running on my host machine. lmao. The SuperH is still fully supported by the GCC toolchain and is well maintained. Also the guy behind compiler explorer, Matt Godbolt, himself was a DC developer and has added the SH architecture there as well. https://github.com/KallistiOS/KallistiOS/commit/99c716c8915ff0199fc657b6fb41ff549361cbf0 https://github.com/KallistiOS/KallistiOS/commit/99c716c8915f...
