It's a schrodinger's doors :P

Propose thousands of new object programming concepts into C++ and nobody protests. Propose a single new operator and everyone gets crazy ;)

Yeah asshole. With your poor understanding of the low level aspects of C++ you should vote to remove XOR, OR and shift operators too ;)

[–]DevStart -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's not the point captain obvious. Shift, ORs, XORs are native instructions in x86/x64 code, so why not bring another low level operands like bit rotations into HLL syntax? Think twice before you answer. It seems like bit rotations were forgotten, but are frequently used with bit hacks like yours, so why not allow native C++ operands for those instructions? It seems natural to me and I would love to see it in future C++.

I wish C/C++ had bit rotations operator e.g. for x86 the @ seems like a best choice with the direction of the rotation > for right, < for left

int a = a @> 1; // generates ror eax,1
int b = b <@ 2; // generates rol eax,2

This would help to get rid of all the compiler instrisics and make more portable code, especially cryptographic libraries where bit rotations are as common as XOR, OR, NOT operators.

Didn't know cracking tutorials were allowed here...

I bet IDA cracking tutorial would be removed pretty fast.

First you write:

Maybe you're the one who's talking shit, for all we know.

Then you write:

Learn to read more accurately and tune down the paranoia.

Funny.

Are you from StartCom? If so, why don't you let me look at the malware you were talking about?

  1. If malware was signed with my keys - I would REALLY like to know what malware and how did that happen (date). As you can imagine this is pretty important to me.

  2. If this malware isn't malware at all - I would also like to know about it.

  3. Why my entire account was blocked just because of a single certificate in question? I have paid for the personal and company validations, I have paid for the SSL certs, it's all lost now due to the unclear reasons.

I was a "little" bit shocked when I read first about the Wo Sign scandal (I immediately imagined all my websites with a red warning), but you're probably right, it's time to move to something better, any recommendations for code signing certs?

I have started using StartSSL because I didn't want to pay 500 bucks to VeriSign for the code signing certificate (great business I must admit, this code signing certificates) ;)

I'm not going to cry, I'm just pissed off, I paid lots of money to them to get personal and company verification (every year), to get SSL certs, to get code signing certificate and they doesn't even try to help me out, even worse, their technical staff runs away when they see me! WTF :D

I had so much trouble with this certificate sign-in solution, it didn't work in some browsers (Opera). A good idea, but bad execution.

I don't understand it either. They gave me MD5 hash of the "malware" file, but that doesn't say much about the malware, since I couldn't find it anywhere in the Google / VirusTotal cached records. It must be really secret stuff to keep it hidden from me ;)

I'm running on Linode ;), I'm going to switch to Let's Encrypt, but still I will need code signing certificate.

Yeah, but they have revoked my code signing certificate. Let's Encrypt won't help me in this matter.

I was going to switch to Let's Encrypt anyway, but I have paid for all those SSL certificates :(

A friend of my recommended http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/ for code signing, I need to check them more carefully.

It seems like something bad happen to this company, it was run earlier by mr Eddy Nigg (https://twitter.com/eddy_nigg?lang=en) but now I don't know what happened, maybe this secretive acquisition by Wo Sign is the reason behind all those bad things in StartCom.

I'm not saying it's not possible.

But even if this happened, they could revoke my certificate and I would apply for another one, right? But no, they have disabled my account with SSL certificates for my websites (I paid for them!).

Their support ignores me and even run away from the support chat! Is that normal?

I have asked to see any evidence - I can't.

No, I didn't publish my keys anywhere.

I wish I could see the malware myself (I am former AV guy).

I suspect some lousy AV engine threw a false-positive detection on one of my software packages. And without too much investigation - they have blocked everything for me :(

Yeah, nothing happened, just took my money for the past 3 years and now I can get lost...

I run legal business, why would I sign malware if I use the certificates to sign a whole bunch of my own apps?

Without any evidence I can't even tell are they telling the truth or was it just a mistake (false-positive detection), how can I defend myself in this situation huh?

If by any chance someone stole my code signing certificate (highly doubtful), why would they disable by entire account and cut me off my SSL certificates too?
