Fun fact: the #Ghidra API is quite consistent in naming methods according to the data types they accept/return, but HighVariables are returned from Varnodes via getHigh()

@nina_kali_nina @kagihq @stevelord @yvan Did a test with my settings, is it Tasword you expect to find?

To prevent further frustration from forgotten tricks I brain dumped the less-than-obvious stuff that I can remember from #Ghidra development in my brand new Ghidra Dev Cheat Sheet:

PR's and suggestions are most welcome!

Unfortunately the reel-to-reel museum at Keszthely, #Hungary was closed, but the TV&radio&turntable museum was open. The traditional decorations on and around the items were especially cool!

👷 After 15 years of entrepreneurship and a few months of sabbatical I'm looking for a regular old job.

My ideal role would be primarily technical, aimed to dissect software to uncover vulnerabilities. Beyond bug mining I'd love to learn to mine better and make new kinds of pickaxes.

My public works and contact info are on my homepage:

Get in touch if you want to know more!

Boosts are appreciated! #FediHire

I created a library from prefetch-tool so you can more easily experiment with side-channel #KASLR bypasses on Windows:

For dogfooding I exploited HEVD on Windows 11 24H2:

[oss-security] CVE-2025-4748: Erlang/OTP 17.0–28.0.0 absolute-path traversal in zip:unzip/zip:extract

Exquisite bug!

I tried to improve on @carrot_c4k3 's work to bypass Windows KASLR with a prefetch side-channel. I summarized my results in a new blog post, spiced up with some geek art:

Make some noise!

This was the original version. While Adeptus Mechanicus clearly represents my general understanding of things, the Sister of Sororitas praying on a hill of skulls better captures my current mental state. #wh40k #IT #Windows

I have no idea why this works now and why it didn't work before...

Praise be the Omnissiah!

@Viss sauce plz

Had to make a proper GIF of this
