The first commit says "Vectorization of string.Equals". It now uses SpanHelpers.SequenceEqual. How is that vectorized when it's just an unrolled loop from what I see? Does vectorization not mean using SIMD instructions? It al

This is different though, no? Say you go post on Infowars anonymously (but not through Tor/VPN/Proxy). They can now know where you live. Of course the address is public. The relation between your IP address and your actual address

How can the exploiter write buggy code? By... writing buggy code? From what I gather, they wrote some code that downloads a script, which might (or not) get downloaded in chunks. But their code only executes the first chunk. So if the whole

I don't understand what's wrong? People use software without knowing how it's coded under the hood all the time? The V8 code is here if you want: https://github.com/v8/v8
