Do you know all of the default Windows file formats? I’ve certainly seen a few in my time, though I can’t say I’ve seen a corpus of all the samples in one place. As Binary Gold Grand Prix 4 (BGGP4) is starting up, I’m considering a Windows based submission and it would be in my best interest to document all of these in the same place.

Hello, we’re going to be trying something a little bit different today. A colleague recommended this whisper.cpp thing, which is a port of open.ai’s whisper model to C/C++. So rather than type out this blog, the way that it’s going to be formed is I read a question that’s curious to me.

The real motive of this series of blogs may take a few iterations to become clear to the reader, assuming of course I can actually pull it off. Let’s forget about the big picture for a moment and break things down into pieces I can wrap my head around.

This blog is far overdue and unfortunately isn’t really a “Part 1”. The truth is, I’ve poked around with Wi-Fi Direct for several months now with mild success and many dead-ends that resulted in learning a lot. The purpose of this blog is to retrace my steps and document some resources before diving into some fun stuff for Part 2.

For this years Binary Golf Grand Prix I started off by learning to fuzz properly, use a debugger properly, and various tooling. The objective was originally to hit all of the bonus points: +1024 pts, if you submit a writeup about your process and details about the crash +1024 pts, if the program counter is all 3’s when the program crashes +2048 pts, if you hijack execution and print or return “3” +4096 pts, if you author a patch for your bug which is merged before the end of the competition Well, life happens, and I ended up using the majority of my 2 week break from work doing more important things like taking care of my sick infant son (He’s doing much better now).
