Hi! The slides for my talk today at RE//verse 2025 (@REverseConf), "Reconstructing Rust Types: A Practical Guide for Reverse Engineers", are now published: https://github.com/cxiao/reconstructing-rust-types-talk-re-verse-2025

It's been great to catch up with so many folks - if you're at the conference, come by and say hi!

The presentation was recorded, and the video will be published at a future date!

@randahl no Liechtenshaming, please!

This is the most important comment I have heard this week — Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk:

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians […] Europe, if there is something we lack today, it is not economic or demographic power, but the belief that we are truly a global force.”

I think Tusk hits the bullseye here. Those 140 million Russians are already fully occupied by fighting Ukraine, and our leaders act like we are Liechtenstein.

Framework Desktop: It's not a $3k 1Petaflop 128k Blackwell DIGITS, but it does have Strix Halo/Ryzen AI Max+ 395 unified memory(DDR5x tho) with a 256 wide bus soldered memory on the board - capability that would cost $6k in a Macbook for $2k.

New Framework desktop, engineering sample torn down by iFixit - skip to 7:20.

@cR0w Oooh this one looks juicy! Like auth bypass for the thing that stores *everything*?

There is one democratic leader in this. The rest are Putin's fascist henchmen.

To the Swedish and French governments, and to all politicians who believe that they can stop data from ending up in the wrong hands with rules and restrictions: don’t be naive.

Sadly gf_256 is not near here, but this is basically the idea behind the the Probabilistic Method in mathematics :)

The thing about computer virus detection is once you get deep enough into industry you realize programmers write everything to look like a virus that's going to break the computer.

I'd celebrate #Skype's death with champagne if it wasn't ditched for #!&% teams (yes, lowercase!)

Instead let us enjoy this 2011 presentation about Skype's anti-debug tricks:

The end of Skype. It was pretty good until Micro$oft bought it. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/technology/microsoft-skype-shutting-down.html

I used the Mastodon client hosted at brutaldon.org to connect to infosec.exchange with the elinks browser - the UI is...not great, but I guess it's just my terminal vs the default elinks configs :D

Anyway, you can ditch your uncool, sellout browsers and experience the Fediverse truly freely!

@cR0w You don't need to spin up a server, they have a hosted instance that can connect to infosec.exchange as a client, will post a screenshot in a sec :D

@cR0w Took a while until I found elinks that I briefly experimented with: https://github.com/rkd77/elinks

During my search I stumbled upon browsh, that looks pretty cool: https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh (Edit: meh, it runs FF in the background...)

(Tried neither with Mastodon, just ICYMI)
