Linux is vulnerable too (but not as vulnerable as windows of course) it’s just not targeted by hackers because it’s market share is so small. That wouldn’t be the case if, say, half of all users ran Linux.

It’s constraints on memory management basically will never allow that to happen.

It lures people in with “use any allocator you want”! Which only appears as freedom of choice when reality it’s locking the user into the same paradigm of memory management that has given C a bad name to begin with.

Remember those good old fashioned windows that you could roll down manually after driving into a lake?

Yeah, can’t do it now: it’s all electronic.

This is for critical infrastructure though. You AT LEAST test it out first on some machines

Same people who destroyed a US bridge recently.

This is the result of giving away US jobs overseas at 1/10th the salary

It’s clearly a zero sum system. Every farmed fish consumed by humans is one less wild fish caught and taken out of the food chain.

Would you also be concerned if there were more whales in the ocean? Because they eat literal tons of phytoplankton which is also a food source for other fish. I think you’re just refusing to see things logically.

Obviously the people are eating the farmed salmon in place of the tiny fish. The “food hierarchy” remains completely untouched.

They are tiny little fish humans don’t want to eat.

Yeah but it’s obviously the tiny little fish humans don’t want to eat.

Drygord — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 05:41:23 +0000

If you’re using wire shark you don’t also need mitm proxy. Mitmproxy is similar to fiddler/burpsuite in that they are high level traffic capturing tools whereas the with Wireshark you can inspect the actual TCP packets. It takes more setup as you’ve seen

Reverse engineering? More like “reading plain English”!

For a billion dollar corp that is some atrociously poor security

Instead of creating solutions to problems we create…

Why don’t we just stop creating those problems =p
