id like to emphasize i didnt say anything about the skill levels of german engineers. ive worked with really talented ones, and poor ones. but for me its impossible to land a job there, having no education and certs. definitely feel u. a lo

I have seen cool ones, where hackers shared cool personal projects, people contributed to them, had shared learnings and fun together. others were really lame 'make an AI app' type of boring corpo stuff. it really depends on the o

Ah, sorry, totally didn't get that it was using them as users of the API. I would recommend API fuzzers here, which cycle through all available possibilities, and generate 'garbage' inputs as well as structured inputs regardi

last comment: advice i got from a very professional and good guy who helped me in my early days. structure your learning. He was a pentester and did it along the lines of: I am learning windows priv-esc now. I am learning linux priv-esc now

for the record. i did this without any certifications in cyber nor computing, nor any education. skills and knowlege will take you the way. And those can be gained in any way that fits you personally. They might make it easier to land an in

Hi, The best advice I can give is do not go for the money. I fell for it, and all it gave me was unhappiness and stress. I used to earn about 11k a month doing technical work for an American big tech company. It was not worth it. I earn not

its nice to have a hobby. I make Operating systems as a hobby. But because I am not an Army of dilligent engineers with a knowledge based in all history of computing and computer science, i would not dare to ship my code to an unwitting use

sadly these days, it seems a keen mind is only a machine's mind. People spend far to little time to understand what they are telling their poor computers to do. And look what happens, people start turning against them. Blaming them for

its not computers who treat people like garbage. they do as they are instructed by humans, in all cases.

I doubt LLM hallucinations will produce good secure code. In my opinion, using code from LLMs, which might see your program come to life a bit quicker, will only enhance the time needed for debugging and testing, as there might be bugs and

this is really impressive work. coverage guided and especially directed fuzing can be extremely difficult. its mentioned fuzzing is not a dumb technique. I think the classical idea is kind of dumb, in the sense of 'dumb fuzzers' b

not sure about it being decentralized or why that is important, but you might be interested in things like GNUnet. its peer to peer afaik.

?? not all households have money to buy pc for everyone. for phones maybe (also less common outside of rich countries), but definitely not true for pc platform, for most of the world actually.. there a lot of pcs for the family still.

u would either need to statically includw everything in the binaries all the time causing huge files everywhere, or use something like bsd jails. both is doable. then it is still possible to access the kernel though. so its highly impractic

cool, remember some tutorials online i think from the same author (not 100% sure) doing stuff around c compilation in python. shame its not in a language i want to learn. the other book on compilers i got is almost to heavy to lift! :D

very cool! ive been using chatgpt for OS dev, to summarize specs and try to make bulletpoints for stuff todo etc. but its a nightmare :'). 100k documentation pages is a pain to chew through to find what u need and can be hard to read :

uh. yeah... us and canada are a tiny fraction of the world, also what is really buying using visa or mastercard? if i use visa to byy crypto and then get explosives (which can be transparently done) there is nothing they can or will do abou

anything on justine.lol makes me feel like a single celled organism. weirdly it feels good. there's so many things in each project, which spirit can be applied to many things. also love the fact always previous projects and code are ei

i think for the most part the cpus should be ok. they do have different feature sets but the isa is the same. the platform chipset is a different topic i guess. they dont need to share any logic or semantics between amd/intel as those

i like the idea but i struggle to see how one can go about doing 'safe' disk reads, having 'safe' ways to manage global resources in kernel land (page tables, descriptor tables etc) and a lot of other stuff. perhaps if t

i do agree. it takes a lot of practice. i got guidance by someone who was already practiced and i can highly recommend. its a personal experience though, so its hard to find someone who fits your inner. for the record. i am really bad at it

by sim7c00 2y ago
This is true. I practice it for a long time now, and still struggle a lot. How well it goes depends totally on the context of my life. It's hard, and honestly led to being very depressed a long time. But now I do feel like a better per

This is absolutely true, though perhaps hard to understand just put simply like this. Sitting in silence is not the solution, but it will cause a solution to occur within you. Sitting quiety will make you self-reflect. Self reflection will

Microsoft assigns driver levels to these guys etc. and allows them to load kernel mode components as protected etc.. If they do not allow that - CS cannot cause such damages. ofcourse, as you pointed out, this will then turn into some lawsu

it protects against boot and early boot attacks. thia includes bootkits but also early drivers such as AV drivers and others which protect the system further. if you dont have it, any security can be compromised before its active. via diffe

thanks so much for writing these. they are really informative and practical in an area this seems really rare in. so handy! exactly what i was needing to create some dev/playtest environment for my project without knowing how to even s
