That was the response to your "what someone has told you is a binary" argument, if you learnt the basics of programming, you will know it's just a hexdump away to verify a binary, there's no one else in the room to tell you anything, you hit compile and see the result yourself, it's simple, direct and intimate. Yeah you could say it feels like a superpower, and it's a skill everyone can learn.
- lrvick 2y agoSo you just dump hex and know exactly what a program does, and can quickly understand if uses good entropy sources, uses good cryptography choices, etc in the same amount of time or less time than you could read the published source code to verify the same? If you can do that, you are the only one alive that can.
