When I was working in the creative industry, I would always look up to these guys work. With all the anxiety surrounding tech these days, it's nice to see some pretty stuff too.
@lauriewired Did you see Natalie Silvanovich talks at CCC and REcon about reversing them? Coolest stuff ever! I think she did 2-3 separate talks on it over the years.

Would you let a computer hijack your muscle movements if it increased your performance 35%?
I totally would.
Came across a really interesting ACM paper today (SplitBody), where subjects were given difficult multitasking challenges.
Their mental load was “reduced” by having a computer electrically stimulate their arm instead. Bodily autonomy wise, it might feel a bit freaky, because you have the proprioception of your arm moving, but without the mental load of you moving it.
I think it’s actually less creepy than it sounds, and I wish more research was poured in this area.
Let me give an example. As a dancer myself, early on, aerials have a difficult initial mental barrier. The common way to learn is to essentially let your teacher control your muscle movements, repeating the overall motions, over and over again.
By sort of “proving” the movement is possible (giving up autonomy!) the concept suddenly clicks, and you’ll “just get it”.
I feel like there’s probably a lot of interesting biological barriers that could be overcome if you trained yourself to go past traditional limits by electrical stimulation first. Take a look at the Bannister effect!
@TracketPacer I used to "joke" that on the windows/linux debate I was the hipsterest by using Free BSD (I wasn't, I was"obviously" joking) but one day someone took me seriously. I realized it wasn't that funny and so I stopped.
What really happened with cyberattacks on Poland's power grids. No FUD. "The attacks targeted numerous wind and solar farms, a private company in the manufacturing sector, and a combined heat and power (CHP) plant supplying heat to nearly half a mil‑ lion customers in Poland. All of the attacks were purely destructive in nature" https://t.co/IShHjOyl1U
Useful for #idapro - you can add custom xrefs very easily, e.g. if you know a `call eax` references some function, you can manually add an edge:
add_cref(here(),get_name_ea_simple("some_func"),XREF_USER)
Then reanalyze the binary and get func parameter propagation for free!
May I present to you; a full copy of doom, running inside of a Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 save game exploit ✨
Thanks for everyone that came to check out our @DistrictCon Junkyard talk! We had a lot of fun putting it together. (check the thread for slides / exploit)
@davepl1968@travisgoodspeed Aren't there a delay slot after the jr instruction as well? In which case who knows, depends what comes next in the code 💀🤯
