▶️ 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… ...
Since bitbucket is sunsetting the support for mercurial repositories, I wrote a quick and dirty script to automate the migration from mercurial to GIT: #!/bin/bash set -e set -u if [ "$#" -ne 3 ]; then echo "Illegal number of parameters" echo "usage: migrate.sh reponame hgrepourl gitrepourl" exit 1 fi REPONAME=$1 HGURL=$2 GITURL=$3 echo "Migrating $REPONAME from $HGURL to $GITURL..." cd /tmp hg clone $HGURL cd $REPONAME hg bookmark -r default master hg bookmarks hg cd .. mv $REPONAME ${REPONAME}_hg mkdir ${REPONAME}_git cd ${REPONAME}_git git init --bare . cd ../${REPONAME}_hg hg push ../${REPONAME}_git cd ../${REPONAME}_git git remote add hgmigrate $GITURL git push hgmigrate master cd /tmp rm -rf /tmp/${REPONAME}_hg /tmp/${REPONAME}_git echo "...done" Before running the script, you only need to install git and create a git repository (remote or local). ...
