Constant-time support lands in LLVM: Protecting cryptographic code at the compiler level
Trail of Bits developed constant-time coding support for LLVM 21 that prevents compilers from breaking cryptographic implementations vulnerable to timing attacks, introducing the __builtin_ct_select family of intrinsics that preserve constant-time properties throughout compilation.

Heineman shared the message last night that her health was rapidly declining.
"It's time. According to my doctors. All further treatments are pointless," Heineman wrote.
"So, please donate so my kids can create a funeral worthy of my keyboard, Pixelbreaker! So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays."
Game developers have begun sharing their own condolences and remembrances in the wake of Heineman's death

I read „arriving in style for game dev“ and thought: They‘re gonna write some awesome Lua code with that attitude!
But then I reread the post 😅

Destroying x86_64 instruction decoders with differential fuzzing
TL;DR: x86_64 decoding is hard, and the number and variety of implementations available for it makes it uniquely suited to differential fuzzing. We’re open sourcing mishegos, a differential fuzzer for instruction decoders. You can use it to discover discrepancies in your own decoders and analysis tools! In the beginning, there was instruction decoding Decompilation and […]
