I think they’re pretty young too. Hoping for a bright future ahead of them!

Windows Defender believes that my Rust egui application is a trojan, but magically if I compile it with a different toolchain it's no longer flagged :p There's something seriously wrong with A/V heuristics.

The World of Warships community has gone through similar steps, but the encryption is much more straightforward. Some of the packets are pickled Python, some are just binary blobs, so there are some undocumented packets but for the most pa

I haven't tried it but have been looking into the same problem. This is probably the best bet (does require an Azure account though): https://github.com/Azure/trusted-signing-action

Kind of a joke, but it could be useful for determining if they should serve light-mode or dark-mode ads. But I suppose they could just detect if dark/light mode are enabled.

Cool project! I remember back in the day having to poke my friends with xbins upload access to drop things for me. It wasn’t super clear who anyone involved with the service was in that capacity. I’m surprised xbins is still kicking and wit

Signature scanning is just scanning for unique bytes from a compiled function that will remain consistent across builds. You search memory for those bytes and when you find them, you find the function you're interested in. Here's

The flash chip is encrypted with the console's CPU key, and the CPU key is unique per-console and encoded in efuses. So even if one person manages to dump keys they're mostly useless for hacking other consoles. The exception to th

The Xbox 360 was overall a very, very secure device. While we don't know exactly how the folks who discovered the hypervisor syscall handler bug were able to get plaintext, it's theorized that it came from development kit and SDK

Wait until you read Grimdoomer’s (yet to be published) write-up on his recent hypervisor exploit that works on the latest OS: https://x.com/grimdoomer/status/1847497275289063676 It’s going to be a doozy

Wezterm is also pretty good. It’s by far my favorite “new” terminal app I’ve tried.

It's a bit unfortunate wording but it basically requires any nightly toolchain version. It uses `std::intrinsics::breakpoint()` which is a compiler intrinstic. This has been available for a long time, but afaik will never be exposed on

Things have certainly changed since 2012. Every Rust program uses TLS -- at least on Windows. Not sure about other platforms.

I recently wrote my own PE loader and found handling TLS data the most annoying aspect of the process: https://landaire.net/reflective-pe-loader-for-xbox/

Some algorithm improvements ripgrep uses could be brought into grep, but ripgrep at its core just operates differently. It uses threads by default, assumes unicode, has a completely different regex engine, amongst other things. It could als

I'm kind of curious what Alex meant by this, as the security problems relating to io_uring are, to my knowledge, unrelated to the user-space program. It makes sense if you want to disable the feature in your own kernel or remove potent

I wonder if this affects tvOS as well. I got my first Apple TV from a friend, wiped it, and recently bought a second brand new Apple TV. My girlfriend was attempting to install an app on the new ATV and it prompted for my friend’s Apple ID

Grimdoomer wrote the article but doom is a different person -- and he's not exactly anonymous. I'm not sure what the other commentator was implying.

I’m just stating my opinion that I find these abbreviations annoying, yes. They are so unintuitive that unless someone explicitly calls out what it’s abbreviating, you probably wouldn’t pick up on it (e.g. the MDN page for Accessibility) an
