A well-designed cryptography protocol can be intimidating for many, but an approachable one is secretly much more dangerous.

Consider JSON Web Tokens (deceptively simple to get a basic decoder), which constantly points devs' guns footward: https://t.co/bOFv1OJMEK

Writing a Debugger From Scratch - DbgRs Part 5 - Breakpoints

Writing a Debugger From Scratch - DbgRs Part 5 - Breakpoints // TimDbg

(New to this series? Consider starting from part 1) At the end of the last post, we started to get some interesting functionality with the ability to resolve addresses to names in a module. This was the last functionality missing before we could implement breakpoints! This part adds the ability for DbgRs to set hardware breakpoints. The code for this post is in the part5 branch on github. You can also view the changes from part4.


GPU.zip is a new type of side channel that exposes visual data processed on the graphics processing unit (GPU). This channel exploits an optimization that is data dependent, software transparent, and present in nearly all modern GPUs: graphical data compression. We present the first security-centric analysis of this optimization and demonstrate that it can be abused to leak visual data. For example, using GPU.zip, a malicious webpage can leak pixels from another webpage in the latest version of Google Chrome, violating the browser security model.
