Could you elaborate on the “tricks” you refer to? I feel it’ll be very useful.

That's true, pretty easy to do once you look in the "net" or "inet" or "netinet" folders and then look for ipv4.

Thanks. Not really, I just look at the IPv4 implementation, it's easily to search for csum or chksum or checksum in codebases.

Why not use the routines from the Linux kernel, which are battle tested? https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/x86/incl... Or even NetBSD: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub&#x2

Agreed. Those topics are very specific instances of general principles that are usually taught in a security course. What did OP mean by "secure client/server architecture" though? What are the basic/fundamental principl

By this logic, all stock traders should be considered employees of the stock exchange they use. Uber is just like a stock exchange - a match making service. * Traders/riders on a transaction/ride pay the exchange/Uber for thi

BGP is a policy-based routing protocol, whereas OSPF/RIP are performance based. BGP is not "the" routing protocol, just that it's widely used because of its simplicity. You should consider reading Kurose/Ross: http

This article is missing quite a few things that's of interest to programmers: 1. IPv4 fragmentation & reassembly 2. Centralized (Dijkstra/OSPF) vs. Distributed routing (distance vector/RIP) - stuff you see in Algorithms c

I did not mention compilers in my comment. Do you mean that if I use LLVM compile a C program then I get the same assurances as when I compile a Rust program?
18.
by dronemallone 9y ago
Let's say you are using LLVM to compile a Rust program, and an "equivalent" C program. You can compile both of them down to IR, and then enforce type safety at the IR level. Doesn't that ensure that you can prove propert
19.
by dronemallone 9y ago
You could use LLVM to compile any language to LLVM IR, and then to machine code using a backend. Does that mean every language has the same properties as Rust? If Node/Java/Go use GC (or VMs), then aren't they more safe than
20.
by dronemallone 9y ago
So why does C, for example, lack Rust's memory safety semantics? Is it something to do with the design of the language itself? Can Rust predict user input, whereas C cannot?
21.
by dronemallone 9y ago
So isn't the memory model more to do with the compiler or operating system rather than the programming language? Do think it's possible to write a C compiler that checks for use after free, double free, buffer overflows, index out

by dronemallone 9y ago
Could you please explain why and how the Rust compiler is better than compilers for other languages? After all, every language compiles down to machine code/assembly. So, the reason that one language is "better" than the othe

Is there a reason why all the above software cannot perform as "fast" or "safe" as Rust when written in other programming languages? After all, every program compiles down to machine code/assembly.

You can do it (by that I mean NOW) with DHCP-PD (prefix delegation). Router asks for a range of addresses from the ISP which it then assigns to the IoT devices on the inside.

Does anyone here know the actual technical details of the attack? How exactly did the DDoS occur? Just a ton of bots making DNS requests over UDP?? Links to articles with tech details would be greatly appreciated.

Something I've never understood: what's the deal with all these newfangled programming languages? Are they somehow better at being translated to assembly? Every program eventually becomes a bunch of instructions anyway...
