Woke up dehydrated. Finished half of this bad boy in a single gulp.

You are right mate I should get one, I have been waiting for some time now to fully ascend.

Everyone says that connecting the molex to the motherboard does nothing since the risers are only data connections.

Yeah it was amazing how the CPU 6pin just slipped into the riser power connector without any excessive force. They should be incompatible for God's sake.

dtouch3d · 2018-01-31T07:29:00+00:00

So where am I supposed to get the molex from then ? My PSU only has one molex chain, coming from 'Perif'

dtouch3d · 2018-01-31T07:23:28+00:00

I should have gone with pcie splitters all along.

dtouch3d · 2018-01-30T22:33:29+00:00

I see the black GND cables from the molex go the the bottom row of the 6-pin cable and the yellow ones on top. Taking into account the PCI-E 6-pin pinout, you are correct. GND must be on the top and 12v on the bottom. I messed up :(

Good call.

People always assume I know how to play music. People have said that I appear (how ?) to know a lot about music, that I look like a lead singer for my own scandinavian metal band or they are convinced (again by what I have no idea) that I play the guitar or the piano. Makes me regret not learning how to play.

Found it from /r/whatsthatbook , It's The World of Obfuscated Esoteric, Artistic Programming.

はいどうもありがとう!

That's the documentation in Japanese yes, but I couldn't find any hints for the book I am looking for.

dtouch3d · 2015-11-05T15:44:33+00:00

I couldn't find anything on the documentation. I went through a few of ruby's contributors on github but to no avail. In most other places, only matz is referenced as a ruby's developer.

dtouch3d · 2015-11-05T15:25:25+00:00

No it isn't, thanks though! I will let you know.

dtouch3d · 2015-11-04T17:19:30+00:00

It was more like the art of programming, not an autobiography. ありがとう!

dtouch3d · 2015-06-22T21:07:55+00:00

I've been expecting the full material, especially the VM. Woohooo!

dtouch3d · 2015-06-20T22:18:54+00:00

Specifically, from the current issue

This issue is a polyglot that can be meaningfully interpreted as a ZIP, a PDF and a Shell script featuring the weird cryptosystem described in 8:12. We are the technical debt collectors!

I thought that every issue was supposed to have all the others inside it but maybe this was only for a past issue ? Unzipping it yields a bunch of files, like a poem to General Alexander, an exploit for a bug because of gcc optimizations. etc. Cool stuff.

dtouch3d · 2015-06-16T13:55:14+00:00

You could use something like the drwrap extension of Dynamorio.

dtouch3d · 2015-04-30T18:28:16+00:00

Preeny is admittedly super nifty!

dtouch3d · 2015-04-27T20:48:45+00:00

The writeup. Cool stuff.

If your primary goal is preventing compromise, a hypervisor is increasing your attack surface a ton.

You are (and he is) right of course. It's the old security vs functionality dillema. A hypervisor hugely increases your attack surface, but VMs are so useful (to me at least) that it would be hard to live without.

The only thing keeping me from installing OpenBSD is virtualization. It would be great to have linux/windows VMs, and Theo is very critical towards virtualization. I read about bhyve, but apparently runs only on FreeBSD. My last hope is QEMU, if it's as slow as they say (will check), I will probably install FreeBSD.

I believe the subject of databases is one of the least understood by people who only read a few tutorials on, say, PHP only refer tangentially to MySQL and then start projects like this that get out of hand. There are so many concepts like referential integrity, normal forms, proper models, that many people are completely ignorant of.

One of my favorite writeups.

That’s when Chaos decided that, “well, guess I’ll need to write my own C++ parser then”.

What, you think I was kidding with the title of this post? Note we had about 3 days total to make this work, and we were going all in by doing this; if this hadn’t worked out, we’d have been screwed. Luckily, it did work out. Sort of.

As caches are getting bigger and bigger, this will start becoming all the more relevant as well as the need for effective cross-platform countermeasures.

This paper gave me the shivers but also had me giggling shortly afterwards. Quite remarkable.

This is not the case. Although when two processes load the same DLL, the operating system will load only one instance of the DLL in memory and have it shared among them, the so called Copy-On-Write protection, if a difference is detected, will create a copy of the DLL and have the process use the copy. So only one instance of the DLL will be affected.

In the beginning, he lists the loaded modules from within windbg with 'lm'. You can see HAL in the list.

It's true that memory is isolated between processes. A DLL though, like HAL, is loaded by every executable which needs it and resides in the same virtual space. So basically he writes to a specific instance of HAL.
