This is just a really bad AI summary of the script. You may as well just pop the script (mirrored here: https://gist.github.com/nneonneo/9caabf7c9d2f94711bce005e144... ) into your own AI of choice and tweak the analysis

jadx ( https://github.com/skylot/jadx ) is similar, but for Android Java (Dalvik bytecode). I use it extensively and it works very well. Over in .NET land, dnSpy ( https://github.com/dnSpyEx/dnSpy ) w

This is the result if you do it in radians, but the test actually requires that you set the calculator to degrees mode first. Note that all of the inverse trig functions are multivalued because the trig functions are periodic. Here, Wolfram

Microsoft seems to have known that they could ram basically anything through a standards body, so they presumably didn't bother to actually try and simplify the standard. Instead, it's basically an XML serialization of their older

An expensive but functional option is to enable roaming on a foreign eSIM. Getting an eSIM is relatively easy. Roaming mobile traffic is routed from the country in which the SIM is from, not the country that you're in, meaning that an

Last year I ported a virtio-host network driver written in Rust, entirely changing its backend, interrupt mechanism and converting it from a library to a standalone process. This is a complex program that handles low-level memory mappings,

It’d be nice if comments were always updated, but the reality of it is that they often aren’t. Sometimes it’s because the later developer doesn’t think the comment needs to be fixed - maybe they tried to fix a bug in John Doe’s approach, ac

I'm confused, because d4d4d4d4 doesn't look like a trap in 32-bit ARM either: 0x0000000000000000: D4 D4 D4 D4 ldrble sp, [r4], #0x4d4 (from https://shell-storm.org/online/Online-Assembler-and-Disass

LLMs can consume input that is entirely invisible to humans (white text in PDFs, subtle noise patterns in images, etc), and likewise encode data completely invisibly to humans (steganographic text), so I think the game is lost as soon as yo

It could be self-deprecating! Plus, I would more readily read it as 本人 (this person/me/myself) - than as 笨人 (stupid person). Also, Pinyin is more susceptible to accidental interpretations than most writing systems due to ambiguity

If you want to make it actually decently safe, one approach would be to make a list of all the syscalls you critically need after you have loaded all the content in memory (strace can help), then write a seccomp filter to block all the othe

The attestation covers the public key, so you would only connect to an instance which has that public key. In order for a malicious instance to use the same public key as an attested one, they’d have to share the private key (for decryption

Ah, but how can you tell that you’re connecting to a server that was actually configured that way? Answer: no you can’t, you still have to trust them. At the end of the day, you always just have to trust the provider, somewhere.

Yep! It’s very easy: rent any cloud server, stick a WireGuard/OpenVPN/ShadowSocks container on it, download the config, and you’re done. Since you’re not interested in compute, you can probably use the tiniest cloud server availab

The SGX TCB isn’t large enough to protect the really critical part of a private VPN: the source and destination of packets. Nothing stops them from sticking a user on their own enclave and monitoring all the traffic in-and-out. Also, the RE

If you wanted to get a readable prompt, I wonder if you could follow the GCG trick used by jailbreak maximizers (e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.15043 )? Sure, you're probably going to wind up with absolute garbage
