Wau Holland. Missed by those who never met him. I too love a good talk on (e.x exploit research) and longingly wonder if in part due to attempts of censorship by companies, also the value of exploits if the 'glory times' of such p

Certain others can elaborate further but back during the tenure of the PS3 Sony did attempt to prosecute individuals for publishing research into exploiting it. So not entirely a joke/meme.

No one remember how Telegram likes to reinvent the wheel with their encryption and raise subtle implications that Signal is magically backdoored? For starters: https://nitter.net/durov/status/873870658874355713

In prior history Hotz was targeted by Sony for his independent research into running homebrew applications on the PS3 game-console. Unfortunately Sony objected to this and launched legal action[1] against Hotz and others which sadly ended i

:-) Might be better to encourage placeholder repository to avoid concerns from the public such as this but as long as the presenter ultimately controls the namespace it is not really at issue.

Wondered that too but the presentation slides make no mention of anything related to SimpleLink. Than again there could be more under the hood than just what the slides themselves describe. Close but probably not a match.

In my opinion we took heavy causalities in 'the war' after WIPO and their friends manged to twist the arms of other countries in attempt to pass DMCA style laws with little public debate and minimal fair-use exemptions.

Glad to see I am not the only one who gives pause to the recent aggressive marketing of Oracle Cloud services. Oracle is the epitome of rug-pulls.

For an advocate for maintaining ones own 'sovereignty' by relying less on centralised services I think forums have been assimilated by modern social media (Facebook Groups, subreddits) and crude attempts by IM apps to emulate foru

Also does PDO not fall back to 'emulating' prepared-statements by ultimately sending an interpolated query in certain circumstances with unknown implications?

Not saying public bug-bounty programs such as this are perfect. Those around a certain date in the past remember strongly when the situation with public research was more precarious and Sony attempting lawsuits, prosecutions and other utter

Particularly interesting how the boogeyman fixate on 'streaming piracy' as a single evil. IMO this 'design-by-committee' approach allowing individual acts that should already constitute fair-use to be maddening.

Sure. Hang on a platform that logs everything to hell and back and can be disclosed at the drop of a hat. Nope.

I said in a previous discussion > Nintendo have had a conflicted stance about community projects over the years. From threatening UltraHLE (early Nintendo 64 emulator) developers back in the late 90s to largely ignoring the Wii exploits

Although a bit different rather sad seeing Take Two/Rockstar attempt to censor other fan projects through DMCA or lawsuits.

Perhaps releasing internal code or documentation is a mile of red-tape so some forward-thinking people are trying to do what they can to support the project while avoiding the above-mentioned issues.

This wonders the question, what restrictions on including cryptography in either open-source or commercial products exist in the U.S today? Bit of a different topic but I hope a landmark case tears down the DMCA nonsense in the U.S and othe

Anyone know how much the Tor Browser 'Safer' security-level mitigates real exploits? Among several things it disables the JavaScript JIT functionality which has been a known mechanism for exploits.
