It's a device, mostly intended for research purposes, that proxies the USB protocol back up to a python program/library. Basically you plug in USB at one end, at the other end you can script the USB protocol with python, emulating

You could probably exploit it via e.g. USB too. A lot of shell scripts get run when you plug in an USB device - And I'm sure you can cram the exploit into one of the device strings that the host queries for.

the strxxx_s family blow up your program if they encounter something bad. What most people want is some simple functions that that can tell you if something would have gone bad. (e.g. truncate the copied string and tell you if it was trunca

You rarely want to use strncpy. Keep in mind: 1) char buf[1024]; strncpy(buf, "hello", sizeof buf); now fills in 5 characters, and 1019 0 bytes in the buffer. (i.e. you're writing 1018 nul bytes that's usually no

If you're equating that to the broken window fallacy, you're saying that this space mission is among the worst use of the money that was spent - I don't think many would agree with that.

Only the block where the byte resides. A block is typically 512b to 4096b. (So it's not that unlike a normal drive, where you also have to rewrite an entire sector even if just a byte changed) Venti doesn't know about files, it on

Banana trees that's used commercially are cloned by taking off-shoots, and are sterile. It's quite hard, if not impossible, to alter their genetics. Likewise it's hard to breed new banana trees that produce suitable fruits.

There's not a fundamental flaw with the USB protocol per se. It's more about USB being implicitly trusted by the software/OS - in addition to that there's driver bugs to be exploited. Here's a few fun things you can

That would make any attempt at creating such a device very hard, if not futile, and not economical. The ISA is just a small part of what's required. All the other interfaces are just as important such as pinouts, memory mappings, memor

In a sense, yes. But space has no medium to convey heat so you can't get rid of it by convection or diffusion. Getting rid of heat in space is hard and a big issue for spacecrafts.
