Carrying a book is another helpful solution.

> Specialist knowledge is for cowards

What a strange and thought provoking statement.

Boyd’s contributions might seem impressive but he seemed like a disgusting human being. He was confrontational, chewed his nails, smoked cigars, made his family live in a tiny apartment so he could be close to work, etc. I can’t remember it all but I quit reading his biography 3/4s in because he just sounded like horrendous person.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Do you have experience reverse engineering? If not, LLMs are not going to help much. LLMs are useful for aiding the analysis but they don’t do the analysis.

“The Simple Path to Wealth”might be another book recommendation on the wealth and investment topic.

> Why isn't that also done by the Makefile?

My guess is that some people would rather write Python code than dig into Make’s documentation. That said, ChatGPT is excellent at creating valid make files.

Curiosity. Books. Projects. Presentations. Hosted personal notes.

That’s it.

Read books to understand fundamentals. Create projects to practice and expand on the fundamentals. Watch videos to learn how others solved problems. Document your learning. Repeat.

“This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends.” was refuted as being inaccurate by a lot of individuals in the infosec community.

Hello,

Under $100. A waterpik. My teeth feel so clean after using it.

Under $1000. A squat rack, bumper plates and a bench. Mine isn’t fancy but at anytime I can workout without having to leave my house.

Also, if anyone is interested in an example of using capstone for basic disassembly and analysis, here is a link to my capstool project.

I don’t have an opinion about whether Cohen or Jeff Buckley version is better, they are equally beautiful. For anyone new to Jeff Buckley check out his live stuff at cafe sin-e. The first time I heard “Be Your Husband” I got goose-bumps. That guy had some amazing talent.

Check out GitHub Codespaces

https://github.com/features/codespaces

I have used it for learning C, Rust and Go. It even has a VSCode editor in the browser. It’s pretty easy to setup. Create a repo, add a hello_world.c, push the code, then in the UI press the green Code button on the repo homepage, select “Create Code Space on main” and then use gcc from the terminal to compile the code.

That’s cool to hear.

In regards to Markdown, it is nice but not many publishers are going to work with you if the book is in that format. Odds are you will have to convert it to Microsoft Word so the editors can add recommendations, version control, ask questions, apply templates, etc. I wrote a book in Markdown and converted it to Word after the third revision because editing was so painful.

Excellent article. I know Shiprock but I didn’t know it’s history with manufacturing processors. Thank you for writing it.

Your deobfuscating process would make a good blog post :)

You have no idea what you are talking about. George Kurtz authored the Hacking Exposed book over 25 years ago. That’s not really a sign of a non-technical person.

Hello, Windows via C/C++ by Jeffrey Richter is what you are looking for. Yes, it’s a little dated but it’s a a great book to start with.

> Is an elephant’s life more valuable than a randomly selected human? Probably not.

According to The Law of Scarcity isn't the life of an elephant more valuable than a human?
