@IceSolst I mean, it really depends on what you like. That book was obviously written as an introduction to bin exp, so if you’re not really into that then of course it doesn’t make sense to start with it. My point was that it’s a good book for its intended purpose.
@s1guza@chompie1337 I agree and it’s true that luck can be involved in finding bugs, however doing it consistently and with good results (high quality bugs) involves time and effort. I would say that bug finding and exploit dev are two very different things that require very different skill sets.
@s1guza Happened to me at least a few times and it’s not a very good feeling at all, but worst one is when you accidentally mess up terminal tabs and rm -rf * in the one with all the source files because you thought it was the one with the device’s crash reports :X
tired: using git and writing careful commits
wired: spamming CMD+S and copy-pasting the source file you’re editing once in a while to back it up
inspired: spamming CMD+S and handling changes and reverts only through CMD+Z in your editor
For non-Italian speakers, “patatino” literally means “small potato” but it’s basically always used by a girlfriend to refer to the boyfriend in an extremely cringy way, this is way too specific to be a coincidence lmfao
R.I.P. to one of the coolest bugs I’ve ever found. Mach ports type confusions are a lot of fun. Great job by @WangTielei on his analysis!
