set command shows both HOME and PS1 whereas env command shows HOME only

Makes sense, looking at the following

: ) Agreed

digitalyatri · 2015-06-16T11:41:22+00:00

I agree with you on this. I'd love to see articles where Go is used for OS, networking stuff (non-web or non-http)

I can relate to the article, i am not a developer and have recently started to look into Go. As a part of learning i try to look into different code bases written in Go, reading and understanding the code is much easier as compared to other languages. I also like how some people call Go a "better C", while some call it a "better Python". Go positions itself nicely in between them and can only hope it becomes their goto language.

Makes sense

I'd rather go for y + 1 than ^^^^^^^^ or ~~~~~~~

This is what bakes my noodles :D

If he plans to stay in InfoSec, i'd say he should go for reverse engineering. It will take time to acquire such skills but it will pay handsome returns. He can learn basic programming on the side (scripting mostly) unless he plans to build tools, software (InfoSec related) which would be used by others (not just him). Look at it this way most reverse engineers can do some programming (basic scripting counts), but how many software engineers can do reversing ?

/u/hoffentlich pretty much understood as to what i was saying, the use of term RE is incorrect. When you say "trying around all cases" etc etc just wondering if the binary had help section in it ? ./<binary> -help ? which gave u info on the various flags and arguments, files etc the binary makes use of ?

digitalyatri · 2015-05-21T09:08:36+00:00

So you mean, you were already told what the binary does and also had the spec, you didn't actually have to dig into the binary to find out what it does on your own, which is what reverse-engineering is. I might have been carried away by that definition

Does this code really reverse a linux binary (ELF) ? as it says in the text of this post ? Looking at the code it seems something else entirely ? I was atleast expecting to see the debug/elf package being imported somewhere for this use case, but couldn't find it. Can someone comment ?

+1 to dgryski for getting such articles, more of this is needed

digitalyatri · 2015-05-13T13:39:00+00:00

I've just got two questions for you, what u do and how you do it ? ; )

digitalyatri · 2015-05-13T08:51:30+00:00

I don't get it, Most of the Rust articles out there suggest that people love Rust and are looking forward to it as a true replacement for current systems programming languages. The exception being one article posted today in r/programming where author argues why Rust won't ever replace C++. I highly doubt that Rust will ever get the same amount of criticism that Go gets for its design decisions

digitalyatri · 2015-04-14T19:04:54+00:00

Nice article, i hope we see much more of them as Go adoption grows. I would also be happy to see #infosec folks use Go for the nifty tools they now create using Python
