@J-- Why would you lose nVMX by using two VMs at once? Does one of them turn it off or something?
Oh. So you don't mean simply running them both in parallel.
VMX just means virtualization extensions.
Windows virtualization doesn't sound very fun.
I never use anything but QEMU-KVM (although I've used BitVisor and VirtualBox in the past).
@J-- So it's just using the frontend?
I wouldn't be surprised if Hyper-V was more secure than VMWare, so it might be good.
@J-- I wouldn't be surprised. They also stole GPL source code. :D
@J-- Why would maintenance be a pain with IRC? There are lots of public IRC servers.
@J-- There are more, although I don't remember how they worked.
And it's closed source and they don't really publish detailed whitepapers.
@J-- In fact, all you have to do is join a server like Libera or OFTC and create a channel. It's easy.
Although getting people to use it is the hard part, since most people are too lazy unless they're already used to IRC.
I want to learn more about KVM. I've been planning on doing something like
this guy for a while now.
But I first need to learn a bit more about VMX fundamentals. Mostly though it's just a lack of motivation to read all those loquacious Intel datasheets on VT-x (and VT-d). Pretty much all I know right now is how #VMExit and #VMEnter work and how that maps to the KVM API, and some basic things like configuring certain instructions to conditionally trap in the guest.
@J-- He can join, but he can't talk.
Ah, what's the USER command for IRC again? Do I need to check the RFC?

PRIVMSG #secse :yo, connecting from openssl s_client
@J-- Ah, raw s_client is too painful. I'm bowing out.
Because I have to type PRIVMSG #secse : before each message. :P
That's the nice thing about IRC. If you don't have a client, you can always use openssl or netcat.
It's all a result of IRC being a rather simple text-based protocol.
I've written a number of IRC bots, custom scripts for irssi, etc. It's a great protocol.
Very simple. Although beware that the RFC is more a... suggestion...
And real IRC differs a bit from the RFCs in some cases.
I used to be a big pain on EFnet back in the day, with my IRC bots. :P
Yeah. It has less people, but it has people who are generally more clever.
I've literally never been on Discord, but I can imagine how bad it'd be.
I bet they're pretty easy to scam though.
(uh, maybe a dumb question, but what's P2C?)
Darknet market "community"
They're just idiots really.
Is it basically script kiddies buying from script kiddies?
That's all the "darknet market" is.
The thing is... even script kiddies can run botnets. So why do they care about cheating in video games?
Why not play with a crappy botnet for fun instead?
It seems like such a waste.
Like, not even the basic theory?
Does he take money in cryptocurrency?
Sounds like a perfect target to make a quick buck from. ;)
Someone's gonna steal his cryptocurrency one day when they get pissed at him making money easy.
I wonder why the game hacking community has never went in the direction of console RCEs.
Yeah but imagine what they could do if they could remotely pop a PS5.
Not even jailbreaking. Just attacking the console through a game's network.
Although I know next to nothing about game console exploits, but I wouldn't be surprised if games ran privileged.
Not surprising. Have you read that article on hacking the PS4?
Where they found out it used syscall number randomization and shit?
I don't think we should have an ethics tag. This site is only about cryptography, its use, the theory behind it, and how to attack it. I also have to disagree with this claim:
the principle and foremost purpose of cryptography is to facilitate the destruction of the enemy
I'm not sure where you...
Today, this site shows 24 thousand users in Cryptography. It runs in parallel with and is associated with StackOverflow boasting 6 million users. This site then clearly creates some leverage and impact for the cryptographic community, with the power to influence and shape minds. It can then so...
