alice pellerini don't see enough people with one of the best tool improvements i've ever made for reverse engineering, so i had to write a blog post about it!

#Rust crates that vendor C code and build it in their build.rs should *not* make them the default. Instead they should attempt to use the system one and bail if that fails, with an error asking people to enable a feature flag to use the vendored dependency. "It just works" invisibly means that people can be unaware that they are including vendored code or that their platform's system packages aren't properly set up.

mahalozIt's time to wrap things up! On Monday at 4 pm MST, I'll be streaming my PhD defense! Come one, come all!
The talk is titled "Toward a Science of Software Reverse Engineering".

bunnieOne of my favorite features of the Baochip-1x is the BIO. It's an I/O coprocessor that is based on the PicoRV32, with custom register extensions to allow direct access to GPIOs from the ISA.
Read more about the BIO at this blog post: https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/2026/bio-the-bao-i-o-coprocessor/ I go in-depth into the architecture and its trade-offs relative to the PIO, and conclude by working through a couple of coding examples.

Wilfred HughesI've released difftastic 0.68! A smaller update, but still worth upgrading:
* Improved Bash, C, Go, Lua, Nix, Perl, Python, Rust, Scala, Swift and YAML parsing.
* Minor display and git compatibility fixes.
Matt Keeterraven-uxn now has an x86-64 assembly backend (yay!)
and it's about 2x faster (yay!!)
and the first draft was written by Claude (booo!)
and then I rewrote most of it, which made it even faster (yay!)
and introduced a memory corruption bug (booo?)
which Claude is better at debugging than I am (.......?)

if you too have complicated feelings about our robot buddies, you may enjoy my writeup:

Mark Griffin~6 months ago I posted about how a LiveCTF competitor won a few challenges with a an AI bot in the background.
Since then, I've been seeing versions of the "LLMs have ruined CTFs" discussion occur in bits and pieces, but haven't found anything consolidated... are there any good writeups or discussions out there?
Particularly interested in the area of "what LLMs are not good at" or even anti-LLM techniques beyond attempting prompt injection.
