Reliability

There are so many angles on reliability in hacking. Because I wrote some of the early CANVAS code that still, to my chagrin, is still in the tree, occasionally I get pulled in to explain why some piece of CANVAS works the way it does. In particular, one of our customers noticed some forensics artifacts that were unacceptable. But while we were doing that, the exploit team was pushing out local exploits this month for Linux and Windows, the COW exploit and ms16_13 (now in CANVAS 7.12). If you're in the CEU you have the source code for those, and you can see the massive differences between them and the public exploits. Ideally the work we did on the forensics artifacts this month will be invisible to the user. But not getting caught in today's world is different from the world when CANVAS was first built. Keeping an exploitation framework "real" is an ongoing process and hopefully those of you who are customers (which is a large part of this list) are noticing that work! Anyways, every time someone says "The last 10% of the product is 90% of the work" it applies double to hacking tools. :) -dave _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunityinc com https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
