Yep. Hence my comment. Smashing the stack is an afterward condition of some kind of memory error. If you’re going to do that, why not mention heap overflow and others? It just seems unusual.

I tend to know people on chat are human and therefore what they’re likely capable of and not capable of. And I’m not expected to use them as a tool. By contrast I can probably pick up any Ryobi power tool that I’ve never seen before and wor

Your distinction between stack smashing and buffer overflow is puzzling

Two reasons - modern languages prevent you from having to think about it at all. You shouldn’t have to sanitize, it should work - there are a load of issues that have nothing to do with sanitization but everything to do with memory. Race co

If I did, would you know? And if I did, it wouldn’t stop people from doing co-ordinated disclosure either, would it? Same with high end exploits - some folks do co-ord disclosure because it feels good and is great for your CV; others sell g

You don’t think the daily mail would buy a story about how firstname.lastname@nypd.ny.gov posted a comment in support of the KKK?

Yeah, I think this is valid. “I’m confident I can find someone who will buy this” vs “I’ll message grugq”, roughly?

You’re talking about this as if there aren’t other countries who actively infiltrate power infrastructure and for whom this is the most low risk mild attack (if you can call it that) I’m not speaking theoretically, which I suspect most on t

There’s 100% an active market for this, and I think tptacek is simply wrong on this point (the others are valid) The likes of Cambridge Analytica didn’t go away, they exist and absolutely go hunting for data like this. The ability to map be

You could dump all the data over a matter of weeks, then you’re sitting on a treasure trove that will pay out over 5+ years. You could sell it non-exclusively to every data broker

Huge miss on the gun analogy. The likes of NRA are pushing for 50-state constitutional carry. Everyone has a gun on their person with no licensing requirements. Yet at the NRA conference they ban guns. There’s probably actually some other h

What might start as “wow! A whole new place” ends up being “ok, just another new place” for many people.

This is how interpreted the post. Listing “throwing parties” as one of your hobbies shows they don’t really have deep passion curiosities like the things you listed can be.

You don’t understand what most people do for work. I’d be very surprised if 10% of jobs are wiped out.

Versatile is far worse. It’s so broad to the point of meaninglessness. My garden rake is fairly versatile. Agentic to me means that it acts somewhat under its own authority rather than a single call to an LLM. It has a small degree of agenc

All of these things have magnitudes. Have you ever built a cedar strip canoe, or are you making wooden spoons? It would cost double what I pay for me to live with 1/4 of the space in a city. I made a pretty intentional decision about w
