Yeah, very similar. They both use time-of-allocation vs time-of-use style attacks on the length of the descriptor to trigger some kind of buffer overflow which corrupt heap data structures. However the PSJailbreak writeup doesn't actua

It certainly is a very similar exploit, but I'm not sure if it's the exact same bug.

Yes, but the (alleged) attack on the algorithm would have happened on blockchain, and would have been recorded as transactions in the blocks. Ironically, some attacks on blockchains themselves (like 51% attacks) are actually harder to analy

by phire 4y ago
While there was a proposed attack, there is no evidence it (or any other attack) was executed. Which would be weird. Attacks on blockchains usually have detailed analysis within days, the blockchains are public and any evidence would be rig

They typically don't do watermarking. The whole justification was stopping the counterfitting of currency, since color printers can produce quite good results for near zero effort. And you can't really use a b&w laser to print

It could theoretically effect font rendering, but I really doubt it. It's more likely the printer driver have encoded information about the gpu into the yellow microdots [1] that many color printers use to trace pages. But if they have

All that Tether really need is for enough people to believe that they probably have enough collateral to handle any potential bank run. Those people will buy up discounted tether and prevent the bank run from even happening. Though, the mes

There are plenty of crypto exchanges that only deal with crypto. Or only have on/off ramps for some local currency that isn't really practical for people outside of that one country. Bitprime allowed people in NZ to easily transfe

Hmm... Bitprime have grown since the last time I was paying attention. 20 employees.... For some context, a few years ago, they only did OTC trades (you ask for a quote and have a few hours to confirm the price and send the funds), with qui

No, the bottom of all four output displays would have an extra ~8ms of delay on top of any native delay. It's unavoidable (unless you can use seriously non-standard timings) as each players output display takes ~16ms to scan from top t

That doesn't work for a four way split. The top of the screen could have almost zero delay, but the bottom of the screen would need half a frame of delay. But you can keep the delay to a maximum of about half a frame (and an average of

Depends. If you know it has been generated by a valid random number generator, then no. But if you know there is a chance it came from something other than a valid random number generator, then you would have to classify sequences like 1111

Such usecases actually run into an economic problem. You can't just create a proof-of-work blockchain to hold your records. That blockchain also have to be a functioning economy with a large enough market cap to pay out mining rewards

I actually think we would see Disney remaking some of their old IP more often if copyright was only 20 years, or at least the popular ones. If they released remakes at 20 year mark, anyone trying to take advantage of the now expired copyrig

From what I understand (as I didn't start writing code until the mid-2000s), loop unrolling was a very highly regarded optimisation of the early 90s. And it was a very long time before programmers (and compilers) realised just how bad

Yeah, I think secret network is the one I'm remembering. It's been a long time since I was paying attention to the cryptocurrency space. My consern is that it hasn't been tested as a generic proof of stake network and there i

I have seen a deployed altcoin built on SGX. Can't remember the name or if it was even successful. In my opinion, it's a huge risk. With a regular blockchain, the fact that someone might maliciously be running the wrong code is

I'm of the opinion that as long as a company has policies to never restore legitimately deleted data from backups, then backups of deleted data simply shouldn't count. Everything else is just too ugly to implement. Though I get th

Assuming this isn't an outright scam; I notice they make no claims about input power. They claim 5KW of electrical power out, but make no mention of how much power went in, or how much waste heat it generated.

Yeah. The accounting can become even more of an absolute nightmare if you actually have to start planning that far ahead and taking into account the long-term sustainable average of converting land to forest, instead of the short-term best

There is no fundamental problem with a forest burning. It might release all it's carbon into the atmosphere while burning, but when it regrows it will re-absorb all that carbon. Bit of an accounting nightmare. You have to make sure i

I think the variety in configurations is completely irrelevant. If you aren't using at least one accurate configuration for your testing, there is a huge risk that you miss your performance target by a huge margin. Your 60fps game coul
