I'm sure the use of a funny protocol packet is just to keep the example simple, making an evil module that opens a tunnel that a DPI firewall wouldn't notice is routine gruntwork to the kind of attacker that can manage to sneak an

Following the rules is what malice looks like. It's not like the evil people of the world sit around twirling their Snidely Whiplash moustaches and congratulating themselves over how much harm they've done today.

The only reason for these operators to do memory sharing would be if it allowed them to oversubscribe RAM--is there any reason to believe any of them are doing that? It seems like it would lead to extremely noticeable and severe performanc

Unlikely. Metro software is extremely thin on the ground, and there's no indication that this is changing in the near term. Microsoft has a long, long history of goofball widget UIs (Active Desktop, Sidebar Gadgets, Metro, various Shel

If the question of what it's like to be a plant is the most egregiously pointless thing a school of philosophy has ever considered, I'd say they're doing pretty good. Apparently the book being reviewed isn't terribly goo

I think the threat model the OP is worried about is a three letter agency finding an unintentional bug and keeping it for their own use. He's asking for an audit from someone we can trust to actually turn over the vulnerabilities.

Without better documentation, I doubt anyone can actually use the baroque Bouncycastle PGP/GPG APIs without messing something up.

How so? It's a testable factual statement about the world. Things are worth what someone's willing to pay for them, and the market value of a good idea is within a rounding error of nothing. It's not like it's impossible

The home search server would just be a cache, presumably the authoritative mailbox would be on an encrypted cloud service. Disaster recovery would consist of replacing the appliance and reauthenticating it.

Buy CPUs from two (or n) different vendors and run a user space lockstep execution virtual machine between them. Unless all vendors are compromised in exactly the same way, the output will fail to verify. Of course, this would prevent you f

The unsatisfying response to this is that circumstances matter, and long lists of names without context do not give the sort of information that would allow one to act.

I like it so far. Is there any sense of ordering, or is each article self-contained? I wouldn't encourage shared_ptr as the smart pointer of first resort, unique_ptr is preferable where it's suitable. I would also suggest going a
