Drygordon CrowdStrike debacle provides road map of American vulnerabilities to adversaries

Linux is vulnerable too (but not as vulnerable as windows of course) it’s just not targeted by hackers because it’s market share is so small. That wouldn’t be the case if, say, half of all users ran Linux.

Drygordon Aro – Zig's new C compiler

It’s constraints on memory management basically will never allow that to happen.

It lures people in with “use any allocator you want”! Which only appears as freedom of choice when reality it’s locking the user into the same paradigm of memory management that has given C a bad name to begin with.

Drygordon CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops

Remember those good old fashioned windows that you could roll down manually after driving into a lake?

Yeah, can’t do it now: it’s all electronic.

Drygordon CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops

Same people who destroyed a US bridge recently.

This is the result of giving away US jobs overseas at 1/10th the salary

Drygordon Nearly 2M metric tons of wild fish used to feed Norwegian farmed salmon annually

They are tiny little fish humans don’t want to eat.

Drygordon Nearly 2M metric tons of wild fish used to feed Norwegian farmed salmon annually

Yeah but it’s obviously the tiny little fish humans don’t want to eat.

Drygordon Entering text in the terminal is complicated

I just press and hold backspace and try again from scratch

Drygordon Inspect TLS encrypted traffic using mitmproxy and Wireshark

If you’re using wire shark you don’t also need mitm proxy. Mitmproxy is similar to fiddler/burpsuite in that they are high level traffic capturing tools whereas the with Wireshark you can inspect the actual TCP packets. It takes more setup as you’ve seen

Drygordon Reverse engineering Ticketmaster's rotating barcodes

Reverse engineering? More like “reading plain English”!

For a billion dollar corp that is some atrociously poor security

Drygordon Rye: A Hassle-Free Python Experience

Instead of creating solutions to problems we create…

Why don’t we just stop creating those problems =p
