I looked through the code and I don't see anything new at all. Looks similar to the dozens of other thread pools I've reviewed over the years. The author is a physicist. Looks like he just decided to publish about his C++ code.

Hey Rafael, How have you been? Are you still in the Bellevue/Redmond area?

Yeah, the earlier versions of SandBoxie used SSDT hooks and offered much better protection. You can completely bypass some SandBoxie protections today with a direct interrupt 0x2e or SYSENTER call. SandBoxie offers very little protection.

"If for some reason a capacity of 32,767 is insufficient, you can trivially upgrade your queue to an Enterprise Queue" Thanks for the laugh! :)

Well, About a week ago this topic was widely in the news under variations of the title: "DARPA and NASA Scientists Accidentally Create Warp Bubble" That's the context of my response here in this thread. I am not sure if every

Yeah, It makes me sad to think that I contribute to this process. I have to admit... that I probably do read alot of those clickbait articles giving them more views. It makes me even more sad when I think about the platforms that are removi

Well, I think journalism is getting worse as the years go by. Like everybody else I noticed the title and clicked on it a few days ago. Reading the paper revealed that the team was simply interpreting/speculating what the math was show

Hey Jeff, Small world, I worked with you on the Windows Update team. Hope you are doing well. Good to see you here on the HN forum. I also remember the notepad incident!

Hi, Actually you can use the Windows Projected File System to project the registry into the file system, making registry keys and values appear as files and directories. https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-classic-samp

Absolutely, That's not the only discrepancy. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/m... Note the following: "The memccpy() function does not check for the overflow of the receiv

Well, I looked at both patches and didn't like either one of them. The user 'manfred-kaiser' makes a good point and I have confirmed that he is correct. However the fix he is proposing is not a very good fix. So in my opinion

by Randor 5y ago
Hmmmm, Maybe by forming it as a question he is inviting someone to verify or revise that number.

The best part of the new "defense against Spectre" is that the LFENCE instruction has been around for ~20 years. It's not even not a defense against all variants.

Yep, it looks easy to replace the function h264_get_next_frame(). I think you could get really decent performance if you used ffmpeg to pre-extract all of the frames into sequential files and serve them statically.
45.
by Randor 5y ago
It's certainly not better than FFmpeg. But I had a look through the source code and the author seems to have a fairly good grasp of WebRTC. The library looks really useful for anyone that wants to quickly understand WebRTC and how to u

Well, I feel like you are arguing for JIT just for the sake of arguing. The topic we are discussing in this thread is "Interpreted is safer than JIT" which is absolutely true. Yeah, there are newer ROP mitigations coming down the

by Randor 6y ago
Actually with the font exploits an interpreter would be quite a bit safer. Many of the font exploit chains work by creating line vectors that result in an infinity or NaN throwing a floating point error (with the SeH handler already being o

Well, Windows Defender actively interferes with security software development. I've noticed that lots of developers either disable Windows Defender or try to whitelist the development folders. Whitelisting doesn't always work... W

I am not misunderstanding anything. Let's terminate this conversation, I can see that it will not get anywhere. It's amusing that you actually believe that you can 'check the logs' to detect all DoH being performed on th

by Randor 6y ago
Actually, no you could not detect that even from the machine performing the DoH. You could probably detect it if you attached a debugger and set a breakpoint on the resolve functions being used. May I ask what you do for a living? Why even

An estimated 18,000 companies were affected by the SolarWinds incident. Many of those companies had excellent inventory, logging and configuration control. You simply cannot detect DNS over HTTPS in the network without performing MITM.

by Randor 6y ago
I don't understand why people can't see the dangers of moving everything to DoH. For example if you have a 3000 user network and 2900 of them are using a local resolver. You have almost no chance of finding those 100 nodes doing D

Yep, I've heard that the actual cost of to manufacture that one was a little over $3 per unit.

Yeah, There are dozens of ether-types that are not standardized. There is also 0x8899 which is Realtek Remote Control Protocol (RRCP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realtek_Remote_Control_Protoco... There are many more

Hi, Seamus Blackley worked on the hardware team and is primarily remembered for developing the XBox controller. I didn't work with him but I am a former XBox team member.

Hmmm, I am fairly certain that this does exist, I remember almost purchasing a spectroscopy adapter for my iPhone way back around 2014. I didn't buy it and I guess it wasn't too popular.
