Collaborate Disseminate
This week, Jonathan Bennett chats with Herbert Wolverson about Rust! Is it really worth the hype? Should you have written that in Rust? What’s up with “if let some” anyways? …read more Continue reading FLOSS Weekly Episode 774: Let’s Get Rusty
We all know that we’re living in a surveillance state that would make Orwell himself shake his head, but it looks like at least one company in this space has …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: March 10, 2024
A new report promotes preventing cyberattacks by using memory-safe languages and the development of software safety standards. Continue reading White House Recommends Memory-Safe Programming Languages and Security-by-Design
Firstly, a quote from a good article about the importance of memory safety by memorysafety.org:
How common are memory safety vulnerabilities?
Extremely. A recent study found that 60-70% of vulnerabilities in iOS and macOS are memory safet… Continue reading Can and should a penetration test report include an informational note about not having used a (by-design) memory-safe programming language?
Back on the theme of learning to program by taking on a meaningful project — we have another raytracing demo — this time using Rust on the Raspberry Pi. [Unfastener] …read more Continue reading The Juggler: In Rust
Google announces $1 million investment in improving Rust’s interoperability with legacy C++ codebases.
The post Google Contributes $1 Million to Rust, Says It Prevented Hundreds of Android Vulnerabilities appeared first on SecurityWeek.

I have a Rust-app executing Python-scripts using PyO3. The Python-scripts are uploaded by users, so I need to check for unsafe code before executing it. The scripts should only be able to do mathematical operations and in no case should ac… Continue reading Filter arbitrary code for blacklisted keywords except on commented lines
In the wide world of programming, there are a few dark corners that many prefer to avoid and instead leverage the well-vetted libraries that are already there. [Phillip Tennen] is …read more Continue reading A Journey Through Font Rendering
I have a Rust application receiving a lot of data. The programmer can make different Python files to test different algorithms on that same data. He uploads the Python file and in Rust the Python-file is executed using PyO3.
So the purpose… Continue reading Securing arbitrary code execution in Rust

Last year we wrote about how moving native code in Android from C++ to Rust has resulted in fewer security vulnerabilities. Most of the components we mentioned then were system services in userspace (runni… Continue reading Bare-metal Rust in Android
