Sigh, a domain hosting a small website for the last 20 years expired. I've forgotten about it for so long that it actually brought up some fun memories. Cheers to all the folks around it, wherever you are!

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

Building a Debugger is now officially released!
It guides you through building a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.
Even if you don't care about building a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

Collaborative reverse engineering is hard not because the tools aren’t right, but because it’s difficult for you to transfer knowledge and insights gained while reverse engineering. Structs and function names are important but connecting the dots is crucial. How do you do this effectively?

Utterly disappointing, not at all what i expected by the title! Doesn’t even acknowledge prior works of Discordians!
It’s all about SRE and making complex chaotic systems more resilient to failure. With a bunch of first-hand experience from big corps who have their shit together!

Digital vs film X-ray . Film offers higher resolution and better dynamic range with the same settings, but slightly longer exposure time (and more tedious image acquisition). Comes in handy when it comes to tiny electronics. Images of an Abbott Lingo continuous glucose monitor.

Almost forgot about this. Found a funny bug in CUPS ecosystem, but we wanted to cut developers some slack after all the drama a couple of months ago https://blog.talosintelligence.com/small-praise-for-modern-compilers-a-case-of-ubuntu-printing-vulnerability-that-wasnt/
Small praise for modern compilers - A case of Ubuntu printing vulnerability that wasn’t
During an earlier investigation of the macOS printing subsystem, IPP-USB protocol caught our attention. We decided to take a look at how other operating systems handle the same functionality.

I’m RE early boot code of this device. It has a factory testing/debug mode triggered by holding a button combo while powering it on. I see the code, but don’t have an exact memory map to find the correct button sequence! And there's 12 buttons, too much for brute force...
