Collaborate Disseminate
Several months ago, a strange Kickstarter project from ‘Team IoT’ appeared that seemed too good to be true. The Atomic Pi was billed as a high-power alternative to the Raspberry Pi, and the specs are amazing. For thirty five American buckaroos, you get a single board computer with an Intel …read more
I am reading “The Geometry of Innocent Flesh on the Bone: Return-into-libc without Function Calls (on the x86)”.
The author claims that x86 code is like English written without punctuation or spaces, so that the words all ru… Continue reading In Return-Oriented Programming how can the machine execute unaligned instructions?
The world is full of single board computers that want a slice of the Raspberry Pi action. Most of them are terrible. But fools and their money, yadda yadda, and there’s a new sucker born every minute. The latest contender to the Raspberry Pi is the Atomic Pi. It’s an …read more
An intriguing paper published by researchers at the University of Michigan describes a new processor architecture capable of self-encryption that can fend off any hacks. A DARPA-supported project, the new chip design renders the current electronic secu… Continue reading Scientists claim to have invented the unhackable processor
I’m talking about the overflow flag that is used in some architectures like x86:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overflow_flag
why aren’t operating systems using this overflow flag to stop integer overflows?
what is the usag… Continue reading If x86 architecture has overflow flag in the CPU, then why can’t we use it to detect integer overflows in C binaries?
Docker and Arm today announced a major new partnership that will see the two companies collaborate in bringing improved support for the Arm platform to Docker’s tools. The main idea here is to make it easy for Docker developers to build their applications for the Arm platform right from their x86 desktops and then deploy […] Continue reading Docker developers can now build Arm containers on their desktops
I’m working on an exploit for a course, where I finally have the EIP in my hands. My buffer is conveniently located at ESP and I could find a JMP ESP, which redirects the program flow to my buffer.
The only problem I have no… Continue reading Bufferoverflow development with EIP in control but forced to use a certain OPCODE
Researchers said that they discovered new Mirai samples in February 2019, capable of infecting devices powered by a broadened range of processors. Continue reading New Mirai Samples Grow the Number of Processor Targets
It’s a thankless task, searching for a job. You send off your CV, or resume, and it joins a thousand other destined for the round file. What on earth can you do to make your career stand out, and catch the eye of the recruiter?
If you are [Pablo Jiménez …read more
Researchers also devise a Spectre-like attack with no known mitigation. Continue reading Google: Software is never going to be able to fix Spectre-type bugs
