You can still exploit a system and easily prove it via simply popping a shell or calc.exe or updating a database with a new entry, etc… They didn’t have to let it loose on the network. If that system was air gapped - problem solved.

Security Researcher here. While you’re correct that air gaps aren’t a totally secure mechanism to rely on, they sure as hell can raise the bar for realistic exploitation. You pretty much need to rely on tricking someone into running your ex

I am at a similar salary. I live in Kendal Square; nearly on MIt campus for convenience and due to the fact I relocated to Cambridge from PA when I took my research pos at MIT lab. I pay 4000k a month for a STUDIO. That includes no utilitie

Hello Joseph. I am awesome Joseph. I am at MIT LL. Can’t wait to check this out a bit deeper.

A few things here. 1. Use a proper Markdown parser. The grammar is easy to define EBNF style most implementations I see now days use some recursive descent parser, etc… Regex implementation was used in original authors parser when it became

Sort of hard to do because AI it shoved down your throat in one form or another virtually everywhere you go. I also think a lot of us Hackers are mourning the fact we spent many years mastering machines and programming just to have the skil

Over reliance on LLMs is going to become such a disaster in a way no one would have thought possible. Not sure exactly what, who, when, or where.. Just that having your entire product or repo dependent on a single entity is going to lead to

That’s what I really gets me. These folks who are “so rich from said technology” always need you to buy their course for $5,000… Likes buddy if you were bringing in so much money you probably wouldn’t be pestering people to take your “cours

That’s all it came down to with me.. FreeBSD doing WiFi circa 2002 was a remote dream. Shit even Linux you had to use ndiswrapper and it still prob wouldn’t work

I’m 37 and have coded my entire life. I even got to pull the drop out of college and do star up and make money type thing before I took my current position.. I have to say AI has sucked the heart and soul out of coding.. Like it’s the most

I am not a graduate but Apple has reached out to me twice in the past month. Many others too so I wouldn’t say it’s absolutely dead but it’s tightened a bit.

No better way to learn System32 folder was essential is Windows than by destroying your family computer by removing it.

Vulnerability Researcher here… Unless your target has a security bounty process or reward; leave them alone. You don’t pentest a company without a contract that specified what you can and can’t test. Although I would personally appreciate a

Python and PyTorch all call out to C libraries… I don’t get what he means by “proving LLMs can run without Python and PyTorch” at all. Seems like they don’t understand basic fundamentals about things here…

All because this dude is the ultimate judge for all that is good and worth doing somehow..

Oh.. So you start doing something new and you're top 10% without practicing or being bad at it first? I'd love to test that to see if it's the case... Your logic is "You're not the best ever to do something so you a

Obviously familiar with Fabrice Bellard and his technical contributions but it seems like he is a pretty private person and he keeps to himself. I don't really know much about him as a person.

As someone who does it for a living the challenge can be in both. However this article is asking its agents to do CTF like challenges which I am sure the respective LLMs have seen millions of so it can essentially regurgitate a large part o

by jdefr89 8mo ago
Yea, this entire repo/article seems super misleading to me. Not to mention asking it to generate API for OOB R/W primitives is essentially asking it to regurgitate what exists on thousands of github repos and CTF toolkits.

Most modern kill chains involve chaining together that many bugs... I know because it's my job and its become demoralizing.

by jdefr89 8mo ago
Vulnerability Researcher/Reverse Eng here... Aspects about it generating an API for read/write primitives are simply it regurgitating tons of APIs that exist already. Its still cool, but its not like it invented the primitives or

It is pretty and it can do pretty much exactly what Rust enums do if they learned basic idiomatic Go.. Rust is a cult at this point honestly.
26.
by jdefr89 8mo ago
No its because 99% of the time people use enums to give names to magic constants... That is it. Go went for simplicity and const+iota achieves it just fine. People act like enums make or break software itself or something.
27.
by jdefr89 8mo ago
What is with people and their need for enums? Functionally using go const with iota gives you the same damn thing and people use enums that way 99% of the time. I find Rusts reliance on enums annoying as hell. At this point I consider Rust

by jdefr89 8mo ago
They don't seem to understand Go much at all. Comparisons to Rust are somewhat misplaced but that's a different topic... Back to errors. Errors are interface values. They are simple yet powerful. You can create sentinel errors tha

Isn't this just fractal page mappings? Am I missing something?
