The free secure coding competitions that SecDim holds are definitely worth a try! The adversarial unit tests that accompany the presented problems are a great way to solidify knowledge of the edge-cases that can bite you when remediating code vulnerabilities.

@WabbitWascal Next time you're at Denhac again, we should try opening this with your disc detainer pick set!.

Thank goodness for Vim mode in Compiler Explorer:.

constexpr explorer.

This talk reverse engineers C++ constructs from MSVC assembly, such as dynamic object creation and virtual calls. It culminates in tracing the object hierarchy of enemies in the game Chicken Invaders, which allows @0xgalz to patch the binary and destroy the boss in one shot. 🤩.

@denhac @dc303 @mattgodbolt It was a lot of fun digging into the history of undefined behavior talks/articles,.and slides will have pointers to the works of @clattner_llvm, @andreasdotorg, @RCS, Louis Brandy, Oded Shimon, and others who don't fit in one tweet. Thanks to Matthew Butler for research pointers.

This Friday I'll be presenting a talk at @denhac for the @dc303 on using @mattgodbolt's Compiler Explorer to examine examples of weird assembly output in C++. . Excited to introduce the reverse engineering crowd to the longstanding C++ discussion of "UB".

Having recently quit drinking mixes of more than 0.8% alcohol as surrender to an annoyingly stereotypical genetic difficiency, I disproportionately love the following endorsement by Dual Core. 😅.

Thanks @uklockpickers for bundling in a extra key tensioner. Didn't expect that freebie!

Part 2 about my Alteryx ALU project is out now, and comes with the original source workflows:.

Missed the Minecraft rush, was stymied by supply bottlenecks in Factorio, and my Dwarf Fortress crumbled. Treading new ground in the sport of "why did you build a CPU there???" was elusive. But now (hopefully?) this is the first ALU built in Alteryx:.
