Async Rust in Three Parts

Nouveau #linocut print en A3 sur le thème de la série Severance : « the work is mysterious and important » et ton tour de cou Lumon.

J’ai fait plusieurs variations de couleurs, quelle est votre préférée ?

looking up something serious by serious chinese writer lu xun and dying laughing at this accidental rendering of spongebob meme font

This "careful" "AI Safety" company that just accidentally leaked its entire source code to the world is the one that African governments are entering into agreements with to include in infrastructures from health care to god knows what.

These are the products people have to use to make sure that they don't get dinged in their performance reviews for "not using AI."

These are the products teachers have to use in schools so that "students aren't left behind."

Claude’s code: Anthropic leaks source code for AI software engineering tool

Nearly 2,000 internal files were briefly leaked after ‘human error’, raising fresh security questions at the AI company

And the result is a very readable high-level decompilation! It'll be even better once I transcribe type information from the DDK documentation into a C header file for binaryninja to load!!

plugin's on codeberg, it's in C++ https://codeberg.org/hails/vxdninja

The plugin lifts each VxDCall/VMMCall macro into binaryninja's low-level intermediate language by translating it to two IL instructions: a VxD_Get_Service_Address instrinsic which loads the target address into a temporary, and a plain old call or jump instruction so binaryninja can understand and analyze the branch.

Then, an analysis pass replaces those VxD_Get_Service_Address intrinsics with a direct reference to the resolved service, if the service table was found in the binary being analysed -

Cooked up a binaryninja plugin that knows how to disassemble VxDCall macros. This is a funky dynamic linking mechanism used in the Windows 9x kernel, it's an int 0x20 followed by an inline dword representing the 16 bit device id and service ordinal which is being called. The kernel patches these sequences with a regular call instruction directly invoking the target service the first time each is executed

The dragon has a VM. Of course it does.

Our latest blog walks through the analysis of a complex C++ binary hiding behind a virtual machine, themed as a classic RPG fight.
QBDI & TritonDSE are your weapons of choice. The dragon doesn't stand a chance. 🐉
