Increase your recognition in the scientific world with short video-casts

Continue_on_error (COE) is a new functionality in the Address Sanitizer runtime which provides a new “checked build” for C and C++. This new runtime mode diagnoses and reports hidden memory safety errors, with zero false positives, as your application runs.…

A survey of type systems for memory safety.

When a botched imperial-to-metric conversion left a commercial jet with insufficient fuel, pilots had to improvise.

CVE-2023-36665, a prototype pollution bug found in protobuf.js by Jazzer.js, received a CVSS score of 9.8.

This is another example that #fuzzing is beneficial for memory-safe languages and can find more than just memory corruption bugs.

These extensions expand the x86 instruction set with access to registers and features that improve performance.

Along with detailing Advanced Performance Extensions (APX), Intel as effectively a footnote to that also disclosed another exciting addition to find with future Intel CPUs: AVX10

My birthday just passed, and to relax I wrote a parser combinator library. Over the last few years, I have worked quite a bit with Ni...

I have my first working C++ NLL borrow checker tests.

Use the ^ (shared) and ^^ (mut) borrow types. The "no mutable aliasing" rule is enforced at compile time.

The birth of Memory Safe C++!

We often need to encode binary data into ASCII strings. The standards (e.g., email) to do so include base16, base32 and base64. There are some research papers on fast base64 encoding and decoding: Base64 encoding and decoding at almost the speed of a memory…

The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has discovered a remote code execution vulnerability in OpenSSH’s forwarded ssh-agent. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially execute…

Hello Rustaceans!

Sometimes, good things come in many. For example: birthdays! 🎉

As it just so happens, we have 3 big things to celebrate:


It's the 10th anniversary of Florian publicly posting his first Rust code on September 28th, 2013!
