In RedHat dominated network, NetworkManager remains the dominant choice for:
* Enterprise desktops
* Laptops
* Many enterprise servers
* Complex managed networking in the Red Hat ecosystem
RedHat is still struggling to replace my network-manager's ultimate stackable network interfaces (VxLAN-VLAN-Bond-GRE-IPSec).
Furthermore, it isn't about hate. It is about KISS: it is about keeping PID 1 as simple as possible, something that all embedded systems and secured system should still aspire to do.
PId 1 should be pro forma and semantically secured as possible with minimal dependencies.
And process certainly should not be default all-privilege.
This eliminates not only the most frequent letters but least frequent letters (Bloom filter), leaving rest of infrequent letter set to guess by narrow deduction.
I am guarded on today's LLM after much unit testings myself.
For as long as LLM use the probabilistic predictive next-token for an algorithm, there shall be glaring errors when encountering a complex-logic (or even compound-logic).
In short, use AND, OR, NOR, XOR sparingly when doing AI prompt. Elevate your err-dar when doing so.
As one who helped improved Capstone and its even more wonderful partner, Unicorn, I actually found an exploit in QEMU using Capstone/Unicorn.
Unicorn is a nearly-true software-based CPU emulator for ARM, AArch64, M68K, Mips, Sparc, PowerPC, RiscV, S390x, TriCore, X86 CPU (and memory) architecture.
This pair-up is arguably the best set of software tools out there.
QEMU? No worry, that's way back in QEMU v1.4 days (emulation of Intel IMUL lb/DWORD OPC_IMUL_GvEvlb opcode getting tripped up by XOR opcode doing self-modified operand and TLB cache didn't flush, resulting in a double XOR; ROT13x2 anyone?)
Fabrice fixed it then and is still blazing at QEMU 10.0 now. Ain't he awesome?
Yeah, I actually ran portion of TLB of QEMU thru unicorn back then.
