Chatting about Ouija boards this Halloween and was reminded of the CSS animated ANSI art Ouija board I made for the last episode of ThugCrowd. The font I designed for this was reused for the original @tmpout.sh logo too! I just expanded some glyphs to make them line up better.

github.com/xero/text0wn... the "BLOCKTOBER" release brings new plain text file export, fixes for tool context switching and move mode, html minification, new selection tool keyboard features, and finally we've updated to vitest v4 while optimizing the tests for better memory usage! 🎃

Something that surprised me a little (but made sense in retrospect) was that core dump files are ELFs

The HPE NonStop Itanium and amd64 systems use them for their "Guardian" OS and the "OSS" layer on top of that, They also added the extra vendor/os fields in the wrong spots for some of the enums

What's the most unexpected or interesting place you have seen the ELF format used? Especially non-Linux use cases (eg Firehose programmers)

Binary Golf Grand Prix 6 begins now! #BGGP6 theme: "Recycle" Challenge Announcement: binary.golf/6

Today is another good reminder of @k8em0.bsky.social's iconic line: We have an internet built on rock n roll and silly string.

#BGGP6 is off to a great start! We got 4 entries in the first 24 hours (as many entries as all of BGGP1!). In the lead so far by total score is mauke, who made a 55 byte 4-way polyglot that is also a palindrome (pictured). See all verified entries here: github.com/binarygolf/B...

The Sixth Annual Binary Golf Grand Prix #BGGP6 will start Friday 10/17!!! @binary.golf Fall/Winter 2025

There's a sick linenoise article by @there.is.no.aarch64.mov in @phrack.org 71 called "Learning An ISA By Force Of Will", where ixi goes from unknown binary blob, to manual instruction decoding, to figuring out control flow, and gives a critique of the RE'd ISA. phrack.org/issues/71/3#...

Wrote a trigger for CVE-2025-38494/5 (an integer underflow in the HID subsystem) that leaks 64 KB of OOB memory over USB. Still works on Pixels and Ubuntus (but the bug is fixed in stable kernels). github.com/xairy/kernel...

The two founders of TPUSA died from things they claimed werent a big deal. Bill Montgomery died of COVID, Charlie Kirk got shot at a school.

Are there any decent gameboy rom plugins for binja that aren't in the plugin store? Neither one on there really works that well for even basic disassembly.

Cleaning up the decompilation of a firmware binary can be such a meditative activity. Delicately defining data, fixing misidentified strings and pointers, undefining erronous functions and types, finding fun features and quirks. It's like a little zen garden to tend to.

This is a test. Trying to tune my notifs. Please reply with something that made you smile recently!!

The second I realized it isn’t knowing answers, it’s asking questions that matters, my entire life professional and personal got a whole lot easier.

There is so much power in simply saying "idk" and being open to new info. It's not the end of the world if you don't know something, and by admitting that there are gaps in your knowledge, you can actually learn stuff!!

So I reverse engineered the @iceblock.app app - www.404media.co/immigration-... here's a thread on what I found. 🧵 (1/11)

This was massive, shoutout everyone who worked on it! We hope it inspires you and reminds you of your power. 💖💖

hi! I'm looking for new work opportunities strongest areas are data analysis & threat hunting. I love SQL, regex, anomaly detection, data wrangling experienced designing & using honeypot systems. have created novel techniques I use python a lot, but can use whatever a situation calls for tysm💓

I really do just *love* the look and feel of open-reel 9-track tape, I don't think anything can quite compare to it, it's just *mwah* 11/10 peak media format.

Realizing it's been a little less than two years since tmp.0ut got asked to take over Phrack. On top of two issues of Phrack, I also worked on tmp.0ut 3 + 4, ran BGGP 4 + 5, got married, did a few talks, and won a live hacking event. BGGP6 is gonna rule, then I chill a bit hehe.

Fresh cover by @vacci.ne for the Print on Demand and Digital releases of PHRACK!! #phrack72 #phrackat40

Here is the cover I made for @phrack.org 72! This cover will be on copies ordered via print on demand. The paper used for this collage was extremely hard to photograph or scan bc of the vivid florescent colors. Shout out @hermit.sh for helping with color correction! See yall in Vegas.

If you could ask a panel of hackers anything about Phrack, zines, and hacking (past/present/future), what would you ask?
