It's honestly not particularly hard to attack critical infra, but if you do, you're just as bad if not worse than the people who ransomware hospitals.

Happy 56th Birthday 2 All The Hackers! 🎉

This is the first year for BGGP that there are less entries than previous years! There are still 3 weeks left. Check out the repo and send in a weird little file!!

My top 4 art pieces of 2025

1. tmp.0ut Volume 4 ToC
2. Phrack 72 CFP Promo Flyer
3. Phrack 72 Cover
4. BGGP6 Flyer

The first one is ASCII art, the rest are physical collages created with scissors, glue, stickers, stamps, typewriter, and photocopier.

@neauoire

There have been a few linux bugs related to this that seem relevant. I like the name "tug-o-war memory model"!

Part 1 of my #BGGP6 writeup about nasm's most mysterious object file format, RDOFF.

https://n0.lol/bggp6-rdoff/

wow, this 30-year-old floppy drive supports AI!

now that's forward compatibility for ya.

@mirabilos
That seems to be the story all over haha

@mirabilos Did you ever use them for anything? It feels like a very forgotten format. nasm hasn't been able to emit a valid .rdf since at least mid 2018! All the tools for it were removed as of 2.16

here are the screenshots from today, the rdx binary running global.rdf, the file I created with my library

RE: https://haunted.computer/@netspooky/115601182009997129

Today I got RDOFF (.rdf) files working in nasm 2.15. I wrote my own lib bc nasm didn't generate properly. Also patched the 32-bit loader in rdx with mmap tricks (shoutout ixi). An executable RDOFF has likely never run on a 64 bit system before today. Writeup soon! #BGGP6

Screenshots in reply

Also, this is a golfed EROFS filesystem by bilger321! I love the base64 ASCII art in the padding. When you mount the filesystem it contains a file named "6".

RE: https://haunted.computer/@netspooky/115595503847421357

Doing this again! This time I am looking into resurrecting an old object file format using scapy, and will probably look at some more entries for #BGGP6 . If you're working on any cool file stuff or just want to chat, come thru!

@binarygolf taking a little break, will be back on in a bit
