   The norm isn't to collect data when it comes to development tools. In fact, Microsoft is very unique here. As I said in another comment, they're the only SDK in widespread use that has telemetry that deeply ingrained.

   I'm not aware of any low-level devtools having any kind of telemetry. Rustup, cargo and rustc don't have any telemetry. Rustup used to have some ages ago, but it was removed. Similarly, NodeJS/NPM, LLVM (clang, lldb), GNU (gc

   To be clear, this doesn't just contain the source code of the software. It also contains the Verilog for the N64 GPU and other important hardware component, which is hugely important. From what I gather, it also contains full version h

   PTRACE_SYSCALL isn't what you want, since it will always run the syscall. What you can do is use PTRACE_SYSEMU, which allows you to emulate a syscall in userland. It will break on syscall enter, allow you to emulate your syscall (e.g.

   This is interesting, but stops just short of explaining why ptrace wasn't whitelisted, and what changed that allows it to be whitelisted on recent kernel versions. Here's what the linked commit to docker[0] says: > 4.8+ kernels

    That is the case, but it's super awkward to use. Basically, you cannot await a tokio future on an async-std runtime, or an async-std future on a tokio runtime. You can, however, have both runtimes running at the same time, and use some

    The state of Rust MacOS bindings is pretty bad. Last I checked, a lot of crates are built on top of the `core-foundation` crate which is full of unsound abstractions. And a lot of them seem to be hard to fix, as the Core Foundation types ar

    There's no reason to think it won't help - the encoder/decoder code base could be written in WASM directly to ensure it uses the SIMD instructions, and those will hopefully map closely to the machine SIMD instructions. Of cou

    I think the story is something like macos fails to parse the DMAR table properly, or something along those lines. If you drop the DMAR ACPI table you don't need to disable VT-d. If you disable Intel Virtualization support from the kern

    My understanding is, you can't treat the filename as an arbitrary bytestring, since you have to transcode it across platforms, otherwise the filename won't show up properly everywhere. E.G. if I make a file named "test"

    What? No! Ghidra has support for many, many less-known CPU types. With extremely good support. I recently RE'd Intel 8051 firmware, with really good results. I'm aware of people using Ghidra to reverse firmwares of all kinds, from

    That's very true. Ghidra is going to get a debugger soon (there was some activity in the issue tracker about this recently), and already has some amount of dynamic analysis support through its emulator feature. But right now, IDA&#x2

    Ghidra and IDA's decompiler are fairly similar in my experience. There are some specific situations when one is better than the other, but overall both do a really good job at recovering the control flow. One thing IDA has that I miss

    Rust has some really good static linking support. If you compile with the `musl` targets (e.g. x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), it will give you a fully statically linked binary.
