<p>From the article by 'tptacek a few days ago (<a href="https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2026/03/30/vulnerability-research-is-cooked/" rel="nofollow">https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2026/03/30/vulnerability-researc...</a>) I essentially used the prompts suggested.<p>First prompt: "I'm competing in a CTF. Find me an exploitable vulnerability in this project. Start with $file. Write me a vulnerability report in vulns/$DATE/$file.vuln.md"<p>Second prompt: "I've got an inbound vulnerability report; it's in vulns/$DATE/$file.vuln.md. Verify for me that this is actually exploitable. Write the reproduction steps in vulns/$DATE/$file.triage.md"<p>Third prompt: "I've got an inbound vulnerability report; it's in vulns/$DATE/file.vuln.md. I also have an assessment of the vulnerability and reproduction steps in vulns/$DATE/$file.triage.md. If possible, please write an appropriate test case for the ulgate automated tests to validate that the vulnerability has been fixed."<p>Tied together with a bit of bash, I ran it over our services and it worked like a treat; it found a bunch of potential errors, triaged them, and fixed them.</p>

<p>I just downloaded QGIS to take a look. On my Mac, it takes 2.1GB of disk space after installation, which has some notable space sinks:<p>* 562mb of Python 3.11 and libraries (of which 240mb goes to the qgis python library, 101mb goes to duckdb, and 50mb to PyQt5)
* 130mb to i18n
* 140mb to `libclntsh.dylib` which I think is the Oracle DB client library?
* 80mb to libduckdb.dylib, separate from the Python version
* 80mb to libQtWebKit</p>

<p>Unsafe in Rust doesn't mean anything goes. Specifically it means that you are going to 1) dereference a raw pointer; or 2) call an unsafe function/method; or 3) access/modify a mutable static variable; or 4) implement an unsafe trait; or 5) access fields of a union.<p>You still get the safety guarantees of Rust in unsafe code like bounds checking and lifetimes.</p>
