Modern hardware tries not expose bad sectors to the filesystem layer at all, they are managed by the drive firmware (transparently remapped, until the drive runs out of spare sectors). Thus, you will ~never see bad sectors marked in the FAT

You need the wear levelling system for actual wear leveling, otherwise the drive won't last very long. Competent forensic analysis can check the firmware and the physical flash contents, although most forensic analysis is not especiall

It seems like things are fairly amicable between OAI and HF, but what if they weren't? I'd love to see this kind of thing go to court. Who is responsible for the crimes of a "rogue" agent? How will they be punished? In t

It does, but it's extremely unusual for the feature to be in use on modern hardware. I thought of a much simpler approach though. Personally, it's completely normal for my USB drives to contain some OS installer dd'd to the f

There are other issues with AES-CTR - an attacker can flip bits at chosen offsets in the plaintext without knowing the key. For example, if they know (or can guess/infer) what offset the relevant portion of the `sudo` binary is at, the

I was expecting this to be a study of extensions being repurposed as malware or something, instead it's about... not much.

Perhaps the 85 tokens only account for a mutable suffix e.g. date/time/location, with a longer but more cacheable prefix being unbilled.

It's cool that AI lets you cheaply experiment with language design, but I wish people would stop using it for the writeups, too. Buried near the end is a mention of per-frame arena allocation, which is an interesting idea for a game en
