Check out radare2 ( http://radare.org/ ), which is one of the best tools for binary reversing available on Linux.

Thank you for calling out Ubuntu (a wolf in sheep's clothing in many ways, despite the significant role Ubuntu has played in bringing great people to the Linux community and the fact that they do a lot of good too) and fronting open-so

You're thinking of the Web, not the Internet. The Web is already a layer on top of the Internet, though I'm sure you would agree that to call the Web intelligent would be out of the question. Good luck with the strong AI problem!

I was under the impression the most common architecture for mobile devices is to support DMA (direct memory access) from the baseband to main memory. This would obviate the "finding an OS exploit" step described, as operating syst

All punches are idempotent, in that punch_x(original) = punch_x(punch_x(original)). ASCII DEL is the only punch that acts as a constant endomorphism.

In typical corporate code-dump style, no README and no clear instructions on how to build or what form the output takes. I installed gyp to try it and get a variety of errors depending on what I try (the furthest I got was complaints about

What keeps browsers from running the scripts immediately and only blocking if/when the script actually does access the CSSOM? It seems like an easy latency win.

What happened to the Hacker Ethic? "Access to computers--and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works--should be unlimited and total." and "All information should be free."

This is really cool. It looks a lot like baudline; have you ever used that?

Linux also counts files on tmpfs as part of the cache number--it's really annoying that no number in top can serve to show you a decent approximation of how many page-size malloc()s you can do before OOM (with overhead and fragmentat

I am, without any sarcasm, very glad to see the scare quotes around the word "hacker" here. I'm thankful that there's a dawning collective agreement that the term as used in this community ("someone who makes websit

It actually does have code to support XWayland, the analogue to XMir: < http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/log... This code is an optimization, not a strict requirement, as you're

"Hacker News" exhibits this pretty badly. Where do you guys suggest to hear about interesting hacks instead of politics and startups?

This doesn't make sense, because you have to have the key to play the video. Cryptography and security practices are the medical science to DRM's snake oil, and I don't really expect this usage will help security at all. A &q

This is a good question. Is there documentation that really explains the Quartz architecture somewhere?

Huh, interesting. I'm not very familiar with any of the BSDs, thanks!

It really isn't. Unless you have a card without a driver (exceedingly rare, though it's not uncommon to need a recent kernel to use recent hardware) ALSA pretty much Just Works. For complex features like streaming sound over the network you

Have you looked into providing compatibility with Terminology for the features that you share? At the moment, that's mostly image display, but if you refactor Regis rendering into a separate library or tool you might be able to share signif

What about this series of repeated flaws which indicate a fundamentally flawed lock-screen architecture makes it seem like the Samsung team involved was highly-skilled?

If it's "based" on anything, the idea behind releasing the source code for software is that you can avoid screwing over your users with binary releases. In the worst case they'll be able to maintain the software themselves if you keel ove

OP doesn't understand that when you buy software (read: "pay to download a stripped binary") without signing a support contract, you're entitled to nothing. If you don't have source, the only thing you can expect is that the binary you have

It's a good thing a name like "exec" wouldn't immediately cause any hackers to think of something else, like, I don't know, one of the most important syscalls of all time.

Webkit's stance is basically "we're only doing it if upstream libpng supports it" (because APNG support basically requires a couple hooks in libpng itself) but the libpng devs refuse to accept the patch for apng support because they are of

To expound a bit more on what I said in my earlier post: the way I see it, hacking could be described as the 'outer edge' of computing/programming. Hacking is getting systems to do things they weren't intended to do. When that overlaps with

I'm aware of that, but programming is not the same thing as hacking.

There is no need to artificially keep people engaged by encouraging useless, off-topic content. If it's necessary to dilute articles about intellectually worthwhile subjects in order to have them here at all, then this community should shri
