Is there any specification of the protocol that is used for communication between IDA Pro and your lumen server?

Any chance that the source code might get released? I'd be interested in building a Lumina plugin for Ghidra.

Interestingly enough I believe PHP would be the language where this would be most successful. I found around 30 vulnerabilities in PHP projects last year and most of them are of the form "dangerous function called on user-input".

The user who reported that vulnerability literally got $12500 from Valve, so Valve very much cares about it.

You seem to be very convinced that Rusts main competitors are Java and C#. I don't think this is usually true. Rusts main competitors are C and C++. I agree that in most cases where Java and C# are possible options they should be prefe

I don't think GC'ed languages are actually safer from a memory safety viewpoint, they're just easier to use.

This is incredibly cool, finding almost 200 bugs in SQLite is a really great achievement. I'd certainly be interested in how often these bugs come up in real applications.

I never understood why we limit ourselves to sending SQL to databases. Instead of sending SQL we should be sending actual logical plans to the database. These logical plans could then be optimized by the database and executed. This would so
