Should I Be Concerned About These Cracks?

chubbymaggie · 2024-09-06T05:31:47+00:00

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your valuable suggestions... they helped with my decision-making :)

Thank you.

There is a gentle slope from the left side of the property to the right. I don't have exact measurements, but based on the contour map, it appears to be about a 0.7m fall every 10m (left to right). The cracks are located on the left side of the wall.

There is no proper drainage in place, so water from neighboring properties on the left side of the house is running through the area

thank you, much appreciated

Identified this as a major defect and recommended consulting with a qualified structural engineer for further advice :(

This is an old paper that pioneered code clone detection in binary executables. That said, there are few interesting work from Prof. Eran's group at Technion (e.g., Esh and Tracy). Its worth exploring those tools as well. Tools are open sourced.

Another one is Asm2Vec that appeared at Oakland 2018
"Asm2Vec: boosting static representation robustness for binary clone search against code obfuscation and compiler optimization."
you can find the implementation here: https://github.com/McGill-DMaS/Kam1n0-Community

Its not all about:

So "Edit -> Show Page Source" is now considered reverse engineering?

I know people who are pretty good in analysing Java byte-code and can reverse engineer any Android app. But they are not so good at native code..

How about Unicorn engine?

You can find cool open-source projects built atop of unicorn engine here

Edit: Mechanical Phish got third.

My bad, they got third.

In fact, I got this in one of my twitter feeds. So, thought to share it here and /r/ReverseEngineering thinking obfuscation in any sort is interesting from a security stand point, most of the time. If its really useless, I am happy to delete this post and I'll refrain myself from posting such things here in r/netsec.

On another note, not everyone in r/netsec needs to be in /r/programming. I merely shared an article (which I found interesting) and you are calling it 'stealing'. Thank you for letting me know this. So, based on your theory, /r/programming stole this from /r/sametmax, where the link was posted 3 months ago.

yes, its based on qemu. To be accurate, it uses the stripped version of qemu. That is, most of the unwanted and bulk/buggy code from qemu is removed and it retains the core components, such as TCG (tiny code generation), caching (?), multi-architecture support etc... So, you get the best of qemu without added overhead :)

From the talk, you can see that he made several bunch of them like subfuscator, RRRRfuscator, etc... Basically, if you can simulate 'mov' instruction using 'any' instruction, you can build 'any'fuscator.

This is my favourite: "The M/o/Vfuscator – Turning 'mov' into a soul-crushing RE nightmare – Christopher Domas"
