'One of the reasons to actually attend university is to move beyond simple vocational training and instead grasp deeper ideas.' Let's ponder this question a bit. A few years ago, computer science departments invited me to give lectures at several universities. Almost by chance, I asked my first audience, which consisted of seniors, […]
The occurrence of the word 'first' in the article is overwhelming.

The year is 1973 in Palo Alto, at the legendary R&D lab […]

Researchers from Check Point revealed at the DEF CON conference details of a new attack technique on applications using vulnerable versions of SQLite. The Check Point method treats database files as opportunities for integrating vulnerability exploitation scripts into various internal SQLite subsystems that are not accessible for direct exploitation. Researchers have also prepared a technique for exploiting vulnerabilities with the exploit encoded in the form of […]
