Yes. The talk was given by an xbox architect, and iirc he mentions he's not sure about the state of the PS4. It's a great talk and if you're interested in security you should give it a watch.

Organizations like the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Guard, and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms collectively fill a similar role to the gendarmeries in other countries. I'm not sure we need another a

Security analysis is uses framed as finding bugs. There's a few main ways of doing this when searching for bugs in C/C++ code: * Design consultations early in development to address insecure or risky designs. * Reading risky parts

The city is providing porta potties right now, as are local businesses and there are individually rented porta potties. Sanitation is much better than occupy right now.

The city is maintaining a row of porta potties, and someone rented one privately a block or so away. Some businesses are opening their restrooms too. As of this evening I saw at least three soup kitchens, two well equipped aid stations, a c

A bunch of people are calling for defunding the police and not total abolition, although that is what this site says. Socialist City Council member Kshama Sawant has already pledged to bring legislation to cut the police department budget b

I live down the block. Anyone can wander in. If you're a local politician or an unfriendly news org you might be yelled at by protestors, but that shouldn't be a surprise.

Try reproducing the race under an emulator like bochs. Bochs can be made fully deterministic, and you can take a snapshot at the beginning of the race and reproduce it every time from the snapshot. One downside is that bochs is very slow.

This issue goes beyond MacOS too. The traditional model of allowing any process to read and write anything created by the same user, send IPC messages (unix sockets, mach ports, window messages etc.) to most processes, and execute any subpr

Not my link, different poster. I just chimed in because your comment was kind of silly. Even if that's the case, I'm not sure most Americans are getting the education they need. Maybe that takes even more money, maybe that takes m

Seeing as that minors can't work that's trivially true. The question is, if we underinvest into the next generation will they be able to invest into themselves to the same degree in the future?

RISC-V is basically a MIPs ripoff with healthy architectural inspiration from ARM. There is a linux distro for RISC-V, and there's no reason Python or nodejs etc. can't run on it. https://riscv.org/2015/01&#x2

When Rust calls into C code it completely loses almost all of its safety guarantees. Having a codebase which is half C and half Rust sounds worse to read and reason about than all either. Additionally, most Windows code is C++ with Windows

I'm no biologist, but I think it's a virus which infects amoeba. By definition, viruses aren't alive, and amoebas are.

It's a whole genre with classics more popular in the US like Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows. Invariably the dog dies tragically, but I guess the boy does too in this one.

Machine mode is the equivalent of el3 on arm. That's where processor firmware tends to run. There is no paging and very little in the way of security boundaries or seatbelts.

Multiplication is a binary operator, here binary just means has two inputs. ~x would be a unary operator and x * y would be a binary one.

If I recall correctly, the arduino compiler is actually a C++ compiler so it will require more explicit casts, but it's been some time since I used arduino. Also the declaration: char foo; may be signed or unsigned depending on the arc

https://github.com/tunz/js-vuln-db I'm not sure Javascript has fewer security problems at all. Sandboxes help a lot, but not all sandboxes are equally strong and Javascript engines routinely get popped.

How can I learn more about how nanoprocesses and the wasmtime sandbox work under the hood? Searching the repo on github for common keywords doesn't turn up much. Are nanoprocesses like Windows picoprocesses somehow, or are multiple &qu

Nope, the GP is still correct. If your custom allocator fails, anything created with Box::new or similar will panic.

I've seen coworkers run semmle queries across the entire Windows OS codebase and find hundreds of issues which were/could result in security vulnerabilities. They've also leveraged it for variant analysis. If I'm not mis
