re-implementing vxworks
loginDefaultEncrypt() in Rust for...reasons.

@reverseics THIS IS NOW AN INTERVENTION.
Yes, the gun is absolutely fucking necessary. You're the one who said VxWorks.
@rootwyrm Don't worry, I'm doing this for defensive tooling =).
@rootwyrm i have a whole lecture (maybe soon a conference talk) about how the algorithm works, and how spotting backdoor account abuse is difficult without a service-based approach.
@reverseics see, now this is REALLY an intervention because any talk involving VxWorks should consist of exactly three slides:
Slide 1:
- Welcome to my talk
Slide 2:
- Just stop using old VxWorks or bad shit will happen to you
- Me and my baseball bat may be some of them
Slide 3:
- Thank you for coming to my talk
*a finger slowly curls on the monkey's paw*
*the lights in your house go out and your cell phone also loses signal*
i do die a little inside every time I find ancient vxworks running grid stuff. it's everywhere and I really wish it would go away too...
@reverseics man, you really truly do not want to know just how fucking deep the VxWorks pothole goes... no, really, it's even worse than that. Maybe, uh, do not look at aircraft. Among ... other things.
