The hard way is still the easy way though. Python is simple to learn :)

I'd personally just support Frege more instead of reinventing the wheel. https://github.com/Frege/frege

yep: cmd &> /dev/null maybe? :) or ctlr-z; disown; exit... at any rate we're optimizing for edge cases

cool project, but my question is why? rxvt is plenty fast for general purposes. if your bottleneck is the terminal emulator then you're doing something wrong. can you really read at ~10mbps?

To be fair the [] syntax is an overridable operator and you could just point it to use the "at" method. Not sure why they've implemented it as an usafe function.

There's also the capabilities framework baked into the Linux kernel which can give more restricted privileges than just using setuid root on everything. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7

I guess it's because the echo command included in the shell was slow.

I agree with you, but sadly things like PGP are not universally adopted and can be a PITA to explain to someone not technically inclined. So it all boils down to the lack of standardized an universal encryption in e-mail.

Even if you don't emit the input you can run commands on the server. You can open up a reverse shell or deduce data from timing based side-channels. IMHO working with raw user data is bad; it should be sanitized/canonicalized befo

That's like an official implementation of WINE from Microsoft.

I predict the opposite. It will succeed and will be adopted by all developed nations within 50 years.

The wording is a bit misleading in the article. The battery cannot power a laptop for 400 years; but instead it could be used for (drained/recharged) for that long considering a regular laptop battery.

Python scripts can also be compiled to an exe file, although I think that the following batch one-liner is the best for this job: for /r startdir %%i in (*.cha) do ECHO ren "%%i" "%%~ni.txt"

Why not ask the archive.org guys to publish it somewhere? The research already relies on their data and they seem to be pretty good at defusing shady legal requests.

It's also worth noting that some critical hardware components (e.g. CPUs since the infamous division bug) are formally verified as well, so manufacturing defects should be the largest concern for them.

I agree; bad words are bad because they have a negative feeling or concept associated with them (fear, disgust, racism etc..). They work on an emotional level, so you must make a conscious decision not to become offended even if the intent

The correct answer to "how much are you making?" is I guess "how much are you willing to pay?"

That's an inherent problem in all AVs. Signatures based systems can be bypassed easily. If you're not using signatures, then the AV is running/analyzing the code which leads to the halting problem.

I'm pretty sure that they just don't inspect the HTTPS traffic. Otherwise I'd be worried that they have patched Opera to accept their fake certificate and replace the cert information with details from the original.

Wouldn't it be possible to take a copy of the NAND and run the whole thing in an emulator? If they can reverse-engineer the decryption algorithm, they wouldn't even need that. Edit: It seems that there is a device specific encrypt

I think that China and India should be removed, since they seem to be outliers. jk :) Nice article on how statistics can support any argument.

I've worked at a large telco testing CPE devices (routers and whatnot) and it was common place to find backdoors like this. The devices were made by a third party vendor and most of them had hardcoded passwords and hidden debug feature

This might even be useful for simulating brains, since the hollow brain model seems to be a lot simpler than a fully connected one.

I feel that this is more of an ad for their company than a real product that brings in money. Even in the video the guy says that ``this will prove that we can engineer the future''.

Fair enough. Simply reading from the file descriptor won't work since some of the output will be redirected to the original process depending on who reads the next character first. The solution is to attach to the process using ptrace

Why ptrace? Why not just take a peek from the stdout/stderr streams in /proc/$pid/fd?
