[2533.74 --> 2534.98] and you just don't, |
[2535.08 --> 2535.20] right? |
[2535.26 --> 2536.60] Even those basic functions. |
[2536.84 --> 2537.22] But anyway, |
[2537.84 --> 2538.72] so I go look |
[2538.72 --> 2539.26] at the documentation |
[2539.26 --> 2540.76] and then I get information |
[2540.76 --> 2542.44] about what arguments |
[2542.44 --> 2543.42] this function is supposed |
[2543.42 --> 2544.04] to receive |
[2544.04 --> 2545.86] and what return values |
[2545.86 --> 2546.86] it's supposed to provide. |
[2546.86 --> 2548.96] And then when I do |
[2548.96 --> 2550.36] this looking up, |
[2550.92 --> 2551.94] then I get the information |
[2551.94 --> 2553.08] about whether or not |
[2553.08 --> 2554.08] the error value |
[2554.08 --> 2555.76] is supposed to be returned |
[2555.76 --> 2557.74] or whether an error value |
[2557.74 --> 2558.44] is supposed to be returned |
[2558.44 --> 2558.98] by the function. |
[2559.46 --> 2560.56] And when that's the case, |
[2560.60 --> 2561.44] then I cannot recall |
[2561.44 --> 2562.84] of an instance |
[2562.84 --> 2565.16] where I was supposed |
[2565.16 --> 2566.58] to see an error value |
[2566.58 --> 2567.98] returned from the program |
[2567.98 --> 2568.82] and that was not checked. |
[2569.26 --> 2571.14] So the way that you would |
[2571.14 --> 2571.82] see it in assembly |
[2571.82 --> 2572.46] would be like |
[2572.46 --> 2573.38] have this function call |
[2573.38 --> 2574.34] and then you see |
[2574.34 --> 2576.00] some random variable |
[2576.00 --> 2577.08] being taken back |
[2577.08 --> 2577.70] from the stack |
[2577.70 --> 2579.64] and compared with value zero. |
[2579.86 --> 2580.24] So basically, |
[2580.42 --> 2582.18] if error is equal to nil |
[2582.18 --> 2583.64] and then you have a block |
[2583.64 --> 2585.16] and whether or not |
[2585.16 --> 2586.92] the error is or is not nil, |
[2586.98 --> 2587.54] then you can go |
[2587.54 --> 2588.10] into that block |
[2588.10 --> 2589.40] or go into another one. |
[2590.20 --> 2591.38] But that block is here, |
[2591.50 --> 2592.10] which means that |
[2592.10 --> 2592.62] the attacker |
[2592.62 --> 2593.92] or the malware author |
[2593.92 --> 2595.26] went through the trouble |
[2595.26 --> 2596.48] of actually making sure |
[2596.48 --> 2597.22] that the error, |
[2597.74 --> 2598.64] like there was no error |
[2598.64 --> 2599.36] returned by the function. |
[2600.04 --> 2600.82] So this is the way |
[2600.82 --> 2602.14] that I observe it. |
[2602.14 --> 2603.44] So earlier, |
[2603.56 --> 2604.32] you mentioned something |
[2604.32 --> 2605.64] that you compared |
[2605.64 --> 2606.92] kind of your work |
[2606.92 --> 2608.34] to getting code |
[2608.34 --> 2609.62] from a colleague, |
[2609.84 --> 2610.94] but it's all kind of |
[2610.94 --> 2612.62] no parameter names, |
[2612.80 --> 2613.64] no documentation, |
[2613.86 --> 2614.58] no function names |
[2614.58 --> 2615.16] and so on. |
[2615.56 --> 2616.46] And that reminded me |
[2616.46 --> 2616.98] how sometimes |
[2616.98 --> 2617.74] you can use |
[2617.74 --> 2619.68] all sorts of AI tools |
[2619.68 --> 2620.32] like Codex |
[2620.32 --> 2621.82] and Copilot |
[2621.82 --> 2622.28] and whatnot |
[2622.28 --> 2623.34] to highlight that |
[2623.34 --> 2623.70] and says, |
[2624.00 --> 2625.02] well, explain what it does. |
[2625.68 --> 2626.88] So did you ever have a chance |
[2626.88 --> 2627.84] to use one of those? |
[2628.64 --> 2629.30] I didn't. |
[2629.52 --> 2630.32] I know that GitHub |
[2630.32 --> 2631.52] released this project |
[2631.52 --> 2632.74] but I personally |
[2632.74 --> 2634.68] have a very |
[2634.68 --> 2636.04] religious fear |
[2636.04 --> 2636.86] of such projects |
[2636.86 --> 2637.52] just because, |
[2637.58 --> 2637.74] you know, |
[2637.80 --> 2638.34] I know that |
[2638.34 --> 2639.28] the way it works |
[2639.28 --> 2640.56] is that all the source code |
[2640.56 --> 2641.56] I write gets uploaded |
[2641.56 --> 2642.70] into the cloud |
[2642.70 --> 2643.36] and analyzed |
[2643.36 --> 2644.18] and gets to feed |
[2644.18 --> 2645.66] their machine learning algorithm. |
[2646.42 --> 2647.96] And it's kind of stupid |
[2647.96 --> 2648.94] because all the code |
[2648.94 --> 2649.82] I write ends up |
[2649.82 --> 2650.74] being open source anyway, |
