In March 2024, I presented my research to Microsoft Security Response Center on a CLIXML deserialization attack, which was acknowledged and fixed in July. Although organizations need to take precautions, the attack is still possible. This article delves into the technical details of deserialization attacks, gadget chains, and PowerShell vulnerabilities. The serialization process converts data […]
Jaqt is a query engine for arrays and objects in JavaScript, inspired by graphql and sql. Unlike other libraries, Jaqt does not introduce a custom query language, allowing users to stay in the familiar realm of JavaScript. By utilizing JavaScript trickery, Jaqt adds syntactic sugar to native Array.map and Array.filter functions, providing ease of use […]

Fractran is a unique computer architecture centered on fraction multiplication. It employs prime numbers as the building blocks, contrasting them as the DNA of other numbers. The program involves an Accumulator depicting registers and Fractions representing instructions testing registers. The system simplifies complex computations by reducing operations to simple rules. Despite being considered an esoteric […]
FAIR is a Go library that promotes fairness in resource-constrained environments by distributing limited resources evenly among multiple clients to prevent over-allocation and starvation. The core algorithm is based on Stochastic Fair BLUE with modifications to throttle only during genuine shortages. FAIR uses a multi-level Bloom Filter data structure for state storage, enabling scaling to […]
