The pool of operating system penetration testers will be absolutely devastated if a rust OS becomes mainstream.
Most, if not all, vulnerabilities are related to lack of memory safety.
Well, guess there’s always the application/user space.
- sureglymop 2y agoRegarding your last sentence, if they move on to AI imposed security vulnerabilities there is probably a lot of bread and butter to be made there.
- aaronmdjones 2y agoDefinitely not all. Our current best estimates put the figure of (amount of security vulnerabilities due to memory safety errors) / (total amount of security vulnerabilities) at 50-70%. People will still be making logic errors & authentication errors (e.g. insecure direct object reference) in Rust code for decades to come, to name just a few. Why? Because people make mistakes.
