😸 TL;DR Being lazy, I made a tool to run qcow2 images for my convenience. Feel free to use it if you find useful! 📖 The back story If you’ve ever typed qemu-system-x86_64 into your terminal, you know the feeling. A creeping dread. A cold sweat. The QEMU headache. It’s that special migraine reserved for developers who know they’re about to spend the next ten minutes deciphering their own shell history to remember that one magic flag for networking. ...
▶️ Intro : Let Me Be On the previous post we continued our journey with a more complex scenario, using a mix of gdb and valgrind to trace all the function execution inside a given binary. This time, hold on because we’re cranking up the complexity. We’ll dive deeper into low-level analysis and explore how to use Intel PIN, a powerful dynamic instrumentation framework for manipulating and inspecting executable code at runtime.

▶️ Intro On the previous post we started our journey with a very simple scenario, and we used a nice feature of the Go programming language to get a measure of how much % of the target program our test is exercising. This time I am going to experiment a Proof of Concept about how we can obtain a test code coverage metric estimation for a normal binary program, without any recompilation. ...
💾 Intro I just found a very cheap SD card on an online store and since I know that there are some fake around, I wanted to quickly test if its size and speed respect the specs. Edit: after first publish, a kind reader noticed me that The F3 tools are a perfect fit for the same task and that’s right; if you want to follow a manual path and learn something in the journey, continue reading… ...
