xz bd engineer 1: bro, we need a way to probe the address space to make sure we never SEGV sshd
xz bd engineer 2: we'll just do a pselect syscall with empty fd sets, a timeout of 1 nanosecond and the addr we want to probe is passed as the sigmask pointer, EFAULT means unmapped pic.twitter.com/11Grpkr9kJ

I usually just use access() for this, in payloads where I need to scan for readable memory, passing the pointer I want to check as the pathname -> returning -EFAULT if not mapped/readable

But yeah, pselect() was probably used in this case to "blend in" within the context of sshd

My comments for @BBC. It was long discussed/suspected that US/UK/EU-based folks participate in cyberops in support of Ukraine against Russia. Now Ukraine recognized such efforts, giving awards to the team. Congratulations! https://t.co/UpmL2PF12r pic.twitter.com/a0tuHm7d7v
