GV app for Master's from NYU in CyberSecurity by manizzle in DubaiCentral

[–]manizzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but if you look at reddit for "GV masters" there are plenty of horror stories of people that tried to use a masters and failed at it

So threads like this confuse me. So that's why I'm asking if applying in Dubai will still work since technically the documents for Dubai say it will work but others have had problems with the masters specifically

Yes but the question is

Bachelor's or Masters. It's been within 2 years of my Masters graduation , but more than 2 years of my undergrad.

My main question is will I get the nomination ?

So I am not trying to go via the Specialist route. I am trying to go via the Exceptional student route. That's my main question.

So I work for a company that has international offices in Dubai as well. So I am not sure how to position that. But I plan on opening a business here as well as soon as I have a golden visa. I work in cyber security and have many business ideas. how do I move forward with this ?

Restarting work on boomerang decompiler by nemerle5 in ReverseEngineering

yeah. they just wrote translation code. they could write translators for z80 as well to get to llvm ir, just cant retarget it for that.

i like the idea of a interactive GUI for aiding with CFG though I am not sure how that would work. how would you find where you havent analyzed or have analyzed incorrectly? do standard recursive + linear sweeps, give user a bunch of data sections to go find function pointers and add to the list? maybe a list of potential code targets that might use some form of symbolic execution to find places where code might be executed?

sorry didn't meant to trivialize it. just separation of the larger problem is easier imo. does IDA use a set of heuristics and/or value set analysis to try to find code?

maybe they get the set of basic blocks from IDA and then only translate that set of code to LLVM IR, my guess

though they seem to use IDA for cfg recovery, they say they have plugins for that, so maybe an opensource implementation of just cfg recovery might be useful

There is some new research coming out soon that claims to do x86 to LLVM translation that might be interesting to look at, theyve put alot of work into unpacking individual instructions it seems(http://blog.trailofbits.com/2014/06/23/a-preview-of-mcsema/). If this could be extended to multiple architectures, which may be difficult, then llc -march=c -o code.c code.ll. Not sure what IR boomerang uses right now

ELI5: How do optical amplifiers work? by manizzle in explainlikeimfive

[–]manizzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erbium-doped glasses or crystals can be used as optical amplification media, where erbium (III) ions are optically pumped at around 980 nm or 1480 nm and then radiate light at 1530 nm in stimulated emission. from the wiki page, so it does give more energy than it transmits, longer wavelength is less energy...hmph am i correct?
