I guess it's time to reread Starship and the Canoe - a great book about Freeman's nuclear weapon powered spaceship and his son George's interest in building boats. I thoroughly enjoyed it 25+ years ago.

AFL might eventually get lucky, but I'm guessing you'd want a hybrid approach that combines symbolic execution with a fuzzer like AFL, e.g. QSYM [1]. [1] https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference&#x2

Here is a quick PowerShell script - it supports the pipeline so you can automate, e.g. if you use a command line password manager. https://gist.github.com/lzybkr/85b4dbd6536ea5351e8d8e492a432...

I have no specific insight to this patch, but I do have personal experience binary patching a popular Microsoft product. My patch was to the VC++ compiler nearly 20 years ago. We had source, and my fix was also applied to the source (which

I wrote PSReadline (readline for PowerShell) and never bothered implementing overwrite mode. It took about 3 years before anyone complained, and I think there is still just the one complaint.

I take it back, the VC++ options are C++ only (faulty memory, it's been too long.) There is a warning I added which does work in C ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t7khkyth.aspx ). As I recall, this

I implemented the VC++ options - they work in C. I have no experience with the others, I've just briefly read about them and assume they are similar. If they don't work in C and you would find the dumps useful, try compiling as C
