I wonder how much it would take to break mine. https://github.com/waltergillman/xorshift_sbox I have not been blessed by an education so I can't be eloquent and write proofs and papers and stuff but it passes PractRand…
I was thinking more along the lines of detectable instances with compiler introducing "optimizations", but as a C "programmer" I do not mind bounds checks and any other runtime improvements that stay true to the…
If you forget about the security focus that only started when Theo de Raadt got pwned by N3tBSD h4xx0rz, it is one of the best OS experiences the interwebs has to offer. It has gotten a lot friendlier than it used to be…
I'm willing to write a C compiler that detects all undefined behavior but instead of doing something sane like reporting it or disallowing it just adds the code to open a telnet shell with root privileges. Can't wait to…
How? It might expedite intel gathering and psychological warfare to an extent but let's not pretend China doesn't have agents inside of all of the "friendly" platforms already.

Was just reading about this one the other day. Well-defined behavior and it actually solves a problem. Conceptually, I can't say it is worse than variadic functions or setjmp.
