> The Guardian comments sections are a trashbag of political censorship and general idiocy, but I see no evidence that they are being trolled by the Kremlin. A whole lot of people THINK they are, and the Guardian has levelled such accusations (without presenting evidence) but my own experience is that I am routinely accused of working for the Kremlin there, based on no evidence at all.

For me the strongest evidence (still non-conclusive obviously) is the fact that the users who are heavily pro-Putin, while clearly being a minority on the forums, almost always get ridiculous amounts of upvotes. For example, for a typical political comment on the forum, getting 50-100 upvotes is rare, while these pro-Putin posts routinely pull 200-500.

[https://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.api.fork]

Here's how it works:

Parent initializes a space in the Cygwin process table for child. Parent creates child suspended using Win32 CreateProcess call, giving the same path it was invoked with itself. Parent calls setjmp to save its own context and then sets a pointer to this in the Cygwin shared memory area (shared among all Cygwin tasks). Parent fills in the child's .data and .bss subsections by copying from its own address space into the suspended child's address space. Parent then starts the child. Parent waits on mutex for child to get to safe point. Child starts and discovers if has been forked and then longjumps using the saved jump buffer. Child sets mutex parent is waiting on and then blocks on another mutex waiting for parent to fill in its stack and heap. Parent notices child is in safe area, copies stack and heap from itself into child, releases the mutex the child is waiting on and returns from the fork call. Child wakes from blocking on mutex, recreates any mmapped areas passed to it via shared area and then returns from fork itself.

absolutely not true, those sorts of names have caught on in the past, it's all about what people consider important, not the actual name itself.

you could call the next bill involving abortion "CVE-2014-0160" and I guarantee you people would know it. You'd most likely just hear "bill 0160" or the like, but the point is that it's the contents that make remember the bill, not the name. The name is marketing.

And where is the copy-on-write happening here? If I recall correctly, the problem was that attempting to reproduce fork()'s copy-on-write behavior on Windows resulted in a massive performance hit. (Which, IIRC, contributes to the slowness of Cygwin.)

EDIT: Oh, I'd skipped the part above "here's how it works"... that just says exactly the same thing I said above.

Cygwin is just a DLL, and it works reasonably well, but it does come with some nontrivial baggage:

- It's GPL licensed, or you buy a license from RedHat; either might be too onerous for the people who develop midipix

- You can only have one cygwin1.dll in memory at a given time; If you have two cygwin using programs, they must both use exactly the same version of the cygwin1.dll; Which means that you can't just distribute a self-contained cygwin program and expect it to work.

- It's a bit clunky at the edges, with the mounts (it looks like you have a /usr directory on the root, and you can see it with "ls" or cygwin "dir" but not cmd "dir", for example; user integration is a bit clunky).

I'm not sure midipix will be better - some problems are inherent. However, cygwin was designed around Win95/NT4 deficiencies some 20 years ago. It has evolved very gracefully, but it's possible a modern version without all that legacy will work better.
Bit disappointing that it mentions a script that produces a bridge, then never names it or links it.
Do users pay anything at all? Or enough to cover that trivial cost?
In the UK at least, universal healthcare through the NHS was created largely because it was seen to be the morally right thing to do:

The collective principle asserts that... no society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means.

I think it is worth noting that the book by Aneurin Bevan, the founder of the NHS, from which that quote comes was called "In place of fear" - that's what we had before socialized medicine (NB not claiming that the NHS is perfect, it clearly isn't - but compared to a lot of the alternatives it's fantastic).

Of course, we do deny some care because the NHS can't pay for every treatment for everyone - but at least they try to decide this in a fairly sensible evidence based manner.

Israel is a stable democracy which has been responsible with its nuclear weaponry for the past 30 years. Meanwhile, surrounding countries are unstable dictatorships which have routinely experienced coup d'etat, murder, and genocide against their own people and their neighbors. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, are all dictatorial entities with significant portions of the population espousing verious messianic callings to wipe Israel off the map, kill all Jews, kill all Shia, kill all Sunni, bring order to Islam (ISIS), wipe out Kurds, etc. These types of unstable countries can not be allowed to obtain Nuclear weapons.

This is really good. I got the most value out of the UAF section; browser UAFs are mostly a PITA to exploit but more or less the most common browser bug. Moving from spray & pray to reliable exploit is a big jump. Available information is mostly fragmented, out of date and truly understanding an exploit by reversing it takes ages. Unfortunately the conditions are rarely "golden", you're lucky when the exploitation is as clean as in the examples.

Rule #1 of exploiting is really "have a good bug", I think triage is one area of tradecraft that isn't covered enough.

The shellcode section is a little quirky though; for POCs it makes a lot more sense to just generate with metasploit or shellcode archives. The "code ripping" approach used is valid, but time consuming and bloated.
It's because the script is barely a proof of concept that would need a bunch of work to be useful in the real world.

After coding for several years, the two aren't all that different.

I'm not saying that I think that the UNIX WAY is ever going to go away...but I do think that extreme scale makes the programmatic approach to configuration make more sense. Instead of treating every system as a "system" you treat it as a simple programmable node among thousands of others. You are already starting to see Linux go this way with systemD. The stuff that the CoreOS people are doing with etcD, fleet, and flannel are really the future of *NIX.

Please cut me some slack...I'm NOT TRYING TO ARGUE ABOUT SYSTEMD. I'm just saying that it's oriented towards developers using API's. That's one of the reasons why admins who are used to the "one true way" dislike it so much. And they should have options if they don't want to use it. I'm just saying that cloud scale deployments are driving changes to infrastructure to make it more "programmable". I'm not even saying it's "right"...Its just a observation.
the argument appears to be "I don't sort things folders at home and Google does everything for me, so an era must be over and I need to write an article about it"

Sadly the article misses on elaborating on and explaining how semantic search (if that really is what he meant) will help alleviate the problems that do come with folder-based organization.

And how, even if the basic criticism is valid, a feasible transition scheme can be implemented.

The way it is, it's just a rant.

So the thing is that when people do computer forensics, anti-forensics actions stand out clear as day on the machine and it does come up in a lot of cases. If you have some activity on a windows machine you want to hide, your best course of action is really to destroy the drive.

I think the feds essentially want to be able to "use" evidence of anti-forensics in court. This is actually reasonable, but the legal theory they're trying to do that with doesn't seem very suitable.

While genuine signs of anti-forensics should be admissible as evidence, it's hard to see how "destroying records" on a private computer (not for business use / at work) should be an actual crime, in and of itself. Also, "clearing browser history" as anti-forensics is seriously a reach. I do wonder if there were other actions taken (over and above clearing browser history) that weren't mentioned in the article.

My take is that it's best to make the 'interview' as close to representative of the actual job as possible. It sounds like you're on the money there.

Another example of a company or product web page that fails to explain what they are offering. You make stuff go faster, got that. But how do you do it or even more what do I have to do? Hand you a binary? Hand you source code in this or that language? Rewrite my source code using a library you give to me? Something entirely different? Put this in the first one or two sentences - we make stuff go faster by, for example, recompiling your C++ source code to a net list for an FPGA - then you can go on with this marketing stuff telling me how important all this is and what opportunities it offers and so on. I will of course skip reading that.
