The writeup is here. We achieved RCE in Minecraft Bedrock, turning a 4-byte heap overflow into complete client compromise.
@ryaagard details a universal, Bedrock-specific technique for bypassing ASLR and achieving arbitrary read / write primitives.
@RAHMANMEHDI1@TrisH0x2A So it's actually used as the memcpy implementation in some languages such as go :) you can find many Duff's devices around their standard library!
@MysteryHacker1@badsectorlabs So this exploit effectively lets you change the page cache entry for a given file, so you can effectively change any file while it stays in the cache and have that write not persist to disk.
Many Linux malware samples (notably BPFDoor and similar) hide using classic BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) socket filters. These filters keep the malware dormant until it receives a very specific “magic packet” ,only then does it activate and reveal itself.
Manually reverse-engineering complex BPF programs (often 100–200+ instructions with heavy branching) to figure out the exact trigger packet used to take hours or even days. Cloudflare’s solution turns this into a process that runs in seconds.

@popovicu94 Often if you are running on a system with journald you can view these without root with the -k flag :) journalctl -fkb should look most similar to normal dmesg output, still supports the level filtering other comments mentioned as well
This weekend I made xoflib with my friends Robin Jadoul and @_tritoke.
xoflib is a Python package for the Shake extendable-output functions (XOFs) written using pyO3 bindings to the sha3 Rust crate.

@paulmillr@lukOlejnik@matthew_d_green They're speaking at RWC on Tuesday so I wonder if they will after that. I doubt it though a lot of academic attacks prefer to keep the source closed.
@paulmillr@lukOlejnik@matthew_d_green I'm not sure I'd just assume these primitives are safe. The paper seems to have mentioned some examples but it certainly implies that this technique is not dependent on the type of cryptography used.
