Different. These are enhanced mitigations to detect when a program is calling into the kernel from a weird state that should never happen in a well-formed program. It basically prevents certain types of exploits from successfully calling in

TIL TPMS works over RF. The blog mentions that it's at a super low power, and not that I'd ever want this, but I can't help but wonder if it's possible to set up well-placed sensors at a fixed position on a road to captu

If you accept the job pay attention to what the Hyper-V team does. They were the best kernel team that I personally worked with and were eager to do things the best way possible.

Super minor nitpick but ROP wasn’t used for the King Kong/SMC exploit. I would consider it a ROP exploit if multiple return-oriented gadgets were chained together to form a full exploit chain, but what happened here is the syscall ha

They require you to acknowledge some terms that grant you access to the Unreal Engine source code. They grant it by adding you to their GitHub org which has the engine source code as a private repo.

Excellent work! As I learned more about digital modes and packet radio I had similar thoughts! This is a really cool writeup and I'm stoked someone looked into this.

It's a JavaScript engine bug and JS is disabled by default. Still important, but I question whether anyone who enables JS in Tor is worth compromising.

This is sweet! This is actually a very similar approach to how I deobfuscate Python bytecode: https://github.com/landaire/unfuck/blob/bfa164b4e261deffeb37... My code is pretty messy, but I take the same exact

I haven't heard of this tool before, but I don't think it would work for obfuscated code. Check out the graph image on my wiki [1]. While this image doesn't show the exact scenario, imagine that the first instruction is a `JU

HardenedBSD got the userland running fine. It was iirc mostly irrational fear by the FreeBSD team that someone's bad application would break.

HardenedBSD (FreeBSD fork) has had ASLR and other mitigations since forever. Shawn submitted a patch that was never merged because of mailing list politics or something of that sort + people afraid it was going to break the world. https:&#

Yep, they're also pretty popular with people who cheat in ESEA/FaceIT third-party ladders. One of the guys, ra1f, eventually outed himself [1]. The software-based anticheat is fairly decent, pushing people to hardware-based cheats

Pretty sure at this point they’re just focused on getting feedback on the design before actually doing work on creating the tool. See this thread: https://twitter.com/filosottile/status/1180861642546073600?s...
