Pro-Tip, you can turn your crummy “consumer” SSD (mostly) into an enterprise drive by formatting it correctly.

You can easily get 10x endurance by giving up ~5% of space.

@pancake I had a lot of fun writing a PowerShell module to expose the cdb engine into PowerShell itself so you could use the full features of the shell rather than be stuck in cdb's implementation of one: https://www.leeholmes.com/extracting-forensic-script-content-from-powershell-process-dumps/

Also, this other project hasn't seen a lot of love recently, but I love the idea: a shell that exposes cdb information as structured data, letting you CD into stack traces, etc.: https://github.com/microsoft/DbgShell

@paulehoffman @rgacogne Based on what I saw in case of cURL reports shared by @bagder this is pretty much guaranteed to result in more slop replies trying to defend their homework.

Are other organizations still getting valuable reports on bug bounty programs? Pretty much all of the ones we have received recently at PowerDNS have turned out to be AI lies, to the point I'm seriously considering shutting down our program. Legitimate researchers are almost always contacting us by other means, and I don't want to keep wasting time looking into false, impossible to reproduce reports.

@pancake @mmu_man My feature request would be RSS (or Atom) :)

@pancake The comments about WinDbg are appropriate 😅 I never tried this but you may be able to inject a gdb stub into your process with Frida so you can use gdb at least for live debugging?

👀 Before the #radare2 6.0.6 release during the testing stage I spotted a crash on Windows and decided to write a post explaining how I fixed it using only the cmd interface 👉 https://trufae.github.io/aiblog/WinCdbNull-en.html

As a UNIX person I'm not comfortable on #windows but i was happy to learn some commandline #debugging tools and shared some insights for #reverseengineering in my writeup. Hope you enjoy the reading!

Sometimes I just get an idea and it won't go away

Edited to add, since this is now doing Numbers:

Fuck the Tories, fuck the Labour party, fuck the TERFs, free Palestine

pwndbg bug yaay!

I strongly believe that constraints spark creativity and art.

Now that I'm browsing $webapp I realize that modern web is born from the rejection of the constraints implied by the original design: URL's are independent of state, navigation is overridden to oblivion, etc.

Now I truly appreciate hacks that show how you can slip between constraints, but it's not really that: we just removed the constraints entirely and now we wonder why we need an IDE, a transpiler and KB's of CSS to implement <center>.

hey fedi does anyone know much about reverse engineering fpga bitstreams? is that something that is doable? what tools do people use for this?

looking at a xilinx chip specifically, haven't identified the specific model yet, but it's one that's at least 20 years old

Now that it's 2025, could someone quickly vibe code a working clipboard for X11?

first: my newest zine, The Secret Rules of the Terminal!

This has all the gnarly details about the Unix terminal that I wish I knew when I started using it. It's weird and kind of wonderful (I talk about why you can use your mouse in the terminal!)

I’d suggest two things

a) people mirror the download

B) Google and others take a look. From a quick look, it appears they use a zero day in a Linux USB device driver to unlock phone

The bus deadlock in Oslo has illustrative value
