mardurhack··on Show HN: Validating models in Django 1.8
Just hoping to get some feedback on my first article. Cheers!
mardurhack··on Cross-VM RSA Key Recovery in a Public Cloud
Considering multiple VMs share the same CPU, at times, I don't see it as a very convenient solution unless marketed as a "premium" package which very few will purchase given that these "attacks" are not that easy to carry out.
mardurhack··on Cross-VM RSA Key Recovery in a Public Cloud
There are some architectural question marks. Will this device be shared among the VMs? If so timing might be a clue on what's happening inside. It is definitely not an easy problem to solve.

No, some implementations of the Montgomery ladder are not invulnerable to side-channel attacks[1].

Unfortunately these attacks all focus on implementation issues rather than the underlying algorithms (hence the name).

mardurhack··on Ask HN: How can I prepare for my new job as a software developer?
Thanks, sound advice! I have already some experience with most of the tools they use but I was wondering if I should focus more on doing, e.g., programming challenges on sites like Top Coder or complete tutorial after tutorial about the stack. They use git by the way and I have been using it for a while now.
mardurhack··on Ask HN: How can I prepare for my new job as a software developer?
Thank you. The language will be mostly Python. Being pragmatic is a good thing but I guess that comes after I start working.
mardurhack··on Ask HN: How can I prepare for my new job as a software developer?
Thank you for the advice. The company doesn't focus on any particular domain but handles many different projects.
mardurhack··on Ask HN: How many of you succeeded as SW engs/devs but are so-so in math?
Yeah I'm in the same situation. My mathematical background is decent but I feel like it is full of gaps and I forgot a lot throughout the years. And yet, not a day goes by without me wondering whether I should start using Coursera to fill those gaps.
mardurhack··on AWS Lambda as a back end for a single-page app
Can this be called RPC? If not, what is the difference? Amaz(on)ing service anyway!
mardurhack··on Show HN: WebLooper, a simple loop station powered by Web Audio and WebRTC
Just a simple track I created in a few minutes using WebLooper: https://soundcloud.com/chpmrc/marco-chiappetta-weblooper-tes... .
mardurhack··on Show HN: WebLooper, a simple loop station powered by Web Audio and WebRTC
Hello everybody,

This is the (old, made 2.5 years ago) application I implemented for my BSc thesis called "WebLooper".

It aims at simulating a loop station like the one often used by DUB FX (BOSS RC-50, here is an example of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhBoR_tgXCI ). But do not expect even 5% of its features. :D Although you can create "online peer-to-peer concerts" (based on WebRTC). I've only tested it on Chrome but I'll try to work on it to make it compatible with at least Firefox.

I was looking at some of my old projects and then, since the source code of this one was already on GitHub, I decided to put it online to let others try it. It has some ugly bugs and the code was written on a serious rush but, hey, maybe someone might have fun with it and, maybe, improve the code him/herself or give me some (constructive) feedback?

(A big thanks to the author(s) of RecorderJS and PeerJS!)

mardurhack··on The Parable of the Two Programmers (1985)
Sorry, skimmed too quickly, didn't realize the two companies were not communicating throughout the story.
mardurhack··on The JavaScript Trap
Stallman's commitment to..."open source"? Sir you better hide fast. He is coming for you!

On a serious note Stallman continuously points out that he does not support the open source movement and that free/libre software and open source software are two different concepts.

mardurhack··on One guy's experience with programming
Oh thanks for clarifying that!

Oh god, I've always thought that i stood for "index". And j...Well it is the most logical name for the next index. :D
mardurhack··on Light Table 0.7.0
Hi, just out of curiosity what pushed you away from Emacs? I was planning to learn how to use it but your comment made me think...
