Window's line separator is actually two charaters, CR LF ( 0x0d 0x0a). This is a fundamental difference between Windows and other operating systems. There's unix tools available to convert between the two formats (dos2unix & u

I might be revealing myself as a novice rust programmer here, but can't you use 'ptr : * const()' as an opaque pointer type? It's how I interface with C and C++ callback functions.

Well, if you agree with the comment you're replying to you'd logically still have to be pro nuclear now. Because the costs of our fossil fuel energy production seem like they'll be the death of our civilization.

VLC can also connect to a remote host and play a network stream. You could probably infer delta-T through the time it takes VLC to request the next chunk of your video/audio stream. But still, that's a long way from exposing the a

I don't think so. Google is abusing their power with Chrome to force their standards on others. I hope they lose their grip on the browser market like MS did, and standards become open.

I hear you, but security wise this point is countered by the fact that every (n-1) iOS operating system has a public lpe exploit available. A user might not be able to jailbreak their idevice, but a hacker can.

I was thinking, maybe it's a great thing the web cannot be monetized on a gigantic scale? Maybe it's not too late to turn the tide against tracking, censorship and thought-policing going on on the internet if the giant tech corps

This is addressed in the paper the article is about. One of the main points is that the 'optimistic stuff' does not address the negative already baked into the system right now. The point is: too little, too late. If that's t

That depends on your definition. Many people, myself included, take 'red team' to mean -> attack simulation. If you have access to source, it implies a white box test, which is not an attack simulation but 'ordinary'

I use this sometimes with some C/C++ code. Mostly, if I want a break somewhere I do this: *(int*)0 = 1; Which will result in a crash, I attach my debugger, run the code and if it reaches that line it will break and I can inspect

The attacker's setup is really, really bad. But it's very interesting to see a drop device being used in the wild. I assume that if amateur solo actors are doing this, then organized crime rings are for sure.
