In the first session of the Testing & Fuzzing microconference at the 2018 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), Kevin Hilman gave a report on the recently held Automated Testing Summit (ATS).

[$] Device-tree schemas

Device trees have become ubiquitous in recent years as a way of describing the hardware layout of non-discoverable systems, such as many ARM-based devices. The device-tree bindings define how a particular piece of hardware is described in a device tree. Drivers then implement those bindings. The device-tree documentation shows how to use the bindings to desc […]

[$] Debian, Rust, and librsvg

Debian supports many architectures and, even for those it does not officially support, there are Debian ports that try to fill in the gap. For most user applications, it is mostly a matter of getting GCC up and running for the architecture in question, then building all of the different packages that Debian provides. But for packages that need to be built wi […]

[$] C library system-call wrappers, or the lack thereof

User-space developers may be accustomed to thinking of system calls as direct calls into the kernel. Indeed, the first edition of The C Programming Language described read() and write() as "a direct entry into the operating system". In truth, user-level "system calls" are just functions in the C library like any other. But what happens wh […]

November 2018 Microsoft Patch Tuesday, (Tue, Nov 13th) Νοέμβριος 13, 2018

This month, Microsoft patches two issues that have already been disclosed publically. One is related to BitLocker trusting SSDs with faulty encryption. If an SSD offers its own hardware-based encryption, BitLocker will not add its own software encryption on top of it, to save CPU cycles. But last month, it became known that SSD hardware encryption is often i […]

Using the Neutrino ip-blocklist API to test general badness of an IP, (Mon, Nov 12th) Νοέμβριος 12, 2018

There are a number of IP Reputation services available for public consumption. A personal favorite was the Packetmail IP Rep service which unexpectedly shut down in September. Looking for an IP reputation API to replace Packetmail in some of my scripts lead me to Neutrino and their many APIs which can be used to query many facets of an IP. While their host-r […]

Today&#x27s diary will be less technical than usual, and more â€œphilosophicalâ€ let&#x27s say (because, why not, we need those too :)) Last week I shared a thought on twitter, saying that sometimes I wish in our community we would stop â€œreinventing the wheelâ€ by developing yet another FOSS tool that solve […]
