Holy shit this is amazing: http://1337day.com/exploits/18984

<&Derakon>
What does it do?
05:15
< ToxicFrog>
Exploits a bug in certain models of Core 2 Duo processor to inject arbitrary code into the instruction cache.
05:18
< ToxicFrog>
Sadly(?) I don't have a C2D to test it on.
05:19
<@Tamber>
Wow.

The more I see things like that, the more I wonder how everything still works, more or less~

< ToxicFrog>
Modern CISC processors are a recursive nest of horrors, pretty much
06:22 Kindamoody|gaming is now known as Kindamoody
06:23
<@himi>
Well, not so much a nest of horrors as a horrific wrapper over a core that's not much different from what someone would implement from scratch
06:24
<@himi>
Not that it matters that much, since ARM is going to win in the end
06:33
< ToxicFrog>
God I hope so.

froztbyte: sadly, with more information coming out, it looks like it doesn't actually work
14:44
< ToxicFrog>
The original C version does, though
14:44
< ToxicFrog>
And a CPU cache whack attack is pretty cool in and of itself

that said, offhand it seems like intel has a higher count of CPU microcode issues in memory than I know of AMD

froztbyte: no, I mean, the js version was ported from the C version based on an understanding of modern JS JITs that happened to be incorrect. It just doesn't work. At all.
15:43
< froztbyte>
ah
15:43
< froztbyte>
ah well
15:43
< froztbyte>
would've been a fantastic delivery vector, if it worked
15:44
< froztbyte>
maybe someone else will write a sploit that does actually work with a technique like this

Hi!
18:55
< Ariii>
I'm about to lose WiFi for about a week and I only have like 15 minutes, so does anybody have some good Python/Objective-C/JavaScript tutorials that I might be able to download?
18:56
< ToxicFrog>
docs.python.org/tutorial? Learn Python the Hard Way?
18:56
< Vasi>
+hardway
18:57
<~Vornicus>
The official python tutorial is where i learned how to program.
18:57
<~Vornicus>
This was 11 years ago.
18:58
< ToxicFrog>
Ariii: specifically, http://docs.python.org/download.html is the downloadable Python documentation, which I believe includes the tutorial
18:58
< ToxicFrog>
And http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ is LPTHW and should be wgetable
18:58
< Ariii>
Oh, okay. Thanks!

22:49 * ToxicFrog goes to read the specification
22:50

They want a bot to play Wanderer

I don't think I can do that in one day.

23:11 * TheWatcher sends his first T2 script module to testers, wonders how many bugs are going to be found
23:13
< sshine>
ToxicFrog, I think the original game is called Boulder Dash.
23:14
< sshine>
this is my first ICFP and I did a very modest contribution to my team...
23:14
< ToxicFrog>
Probably, but the version I played was called Wanderer.
23:14
< sshine>
ok.
23:15
< ToxicFrog>
(don't think I ever made it past level 3. I should see if it'll build on a modern linux.)
23:15
< sshine>
I did a pretty-printer and a function to cluster the lambdas (diamonds) into groups because the current robot has some pretty weird notions of what's best to do
23:15
