I have been told that this is only the case in America (and I guess Asia). in Europe, there are laws that require the use of safety-validation tools and worst-case execution time tools on code that will be used in safety critical applicatio

you know, when the tor project had some scruples and ethical standards, they actually explicitly addressed this as part of their threat model, acknowledging that if someone could see enough traffic, they could de-anonymize the network. then

Yes, an open-source, independently-verified and analyzed, and community-maintained honeypot. How exactly does that work? Unless you want to call people like Roger Dingledine and Jake Appelbaum agents of the state (Jake has been called many

virtual memory makes a translation layer between virtual addresses and physical addresses. an identity-mapping for virtual memory is then a mapping that directly translates a VA into the same PA, so VA 5 is PA 5. the word 'paging'

has he? making a booting from metal OS is a semester long undergraduate project, and this person has been working on it for way longer than that. in a semester, university programs expect you to write a kernel that boots to a shell with vir

seriously, why subject yourself to that kind of acidic ridicule when you can make more public contributions working on things closer to the frontend. doing the systems engineering work to make the kernel go is very important, but unless you

I'm not sure about "cheaper schooling, lower quality". In engineering and computer science there are state schools that compete, IMO, pretty handily with "the best". you might snigger and scoff, but hiring managers

this is probably not the best argument, because DEFCON has been this way since the beginning (I have been to a lot of them) and the security community as a whole has never really been accepting, forgiving, or inclusive. so when you make a p
