That's why he shipped all code inside one controller.

Why would you want Rust to target lowest-common-denominator developers and become new VB or php?

Rust wants not that I wants. It seems people replacing NodeJS with it.

Linus wanted attention and C++ was perfect. Later down the road, he even ranted about Java. It's clear he is a hater of OOP and Abstraction in general. Now, Linus Cultists promotes Data Oriented Design.

The attention thing said by Bjarne by himself when asked on Reddit.

Reminds me that unprofitable hotness electric car company whose core business is to manipulate both balance sheet and government.

This guy wants to write an implant in Rust, but he forgets that Rust is like C, and its very easy RE.

Oh, I do remember we had cool kidz writing implants in Go, C#

What a failure! That's why the NSA and GRU selected Modern C++!

He selected the wrong tool for the job. Take a look at Flawedgrace, it is written in modern C ++ and very complex to RE. It uses OOP heavily.

Rust is a subset of modern C ++

The Rust people have mastered Alexander Stepanov's vision for C ++

Have a look at Alexander Stepanov's Elements of Programming.

This post just a hidden marketing for his "Blackhat" book.

C++ didn't make any mistakes. The language didn't but the developers did.

It's pity that people portray C++ as dead and horrible lang.

The ecosystem of programming languages has become more like the Ponzi Crypto industry, where every night you get shiny cryptocurrency and then charge for consultations and speaking.

The C++ example on leetcode front page is dead wrong. It use that "using namespace std" thingie.

That's what I implied on my last sentence. Pattern-oriented tracking.

You pay cost for branch predictions at Runtime. You can avoid it at compile-time using Templates or even constexpr. .

Accenture used C# for a HFT shop but that shop went away from it to C++.

Java is not popular in HFT other than 2-3 shops using it.

C++ is best choice IMHO. It has become easy to use it and plus you can get compile time branch prediction with templates.

RAII also amazing. RAII looks like a GC but it's not but it's works like a GC ..

Everyone was afraid that someone was watching them, but they are missing the fact that it's is difficult to watch everyone. Even with algorithms, I don't think it's possible.

Essentially, I believe the three letter agencies are pattern oriented when it comes to tracking.

I built my own language recently and called it Casi-no.

How come people forget Critical Thinking?

It's obvious Critical Thinking helps to learn programming.

I don't give ....

Well what. It's obvious who you are. You are Lucky...

Account age is biased way to trust an individual. I could have bought an old HN account from someone but I didn't.

No. I've tested it anyway.

Mr Flow, Please try a TMobile number on ZipWhip. You will see it fails. You will now claim that I am lying and that NetNumber has fixed this. So there is nothing I can do to help you.

I have known about this attack since 2012, but I did not publicly talk about how insecure SMS is for promoting an anti-fraud product.

Note, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are other attack vectors that only I know!

How come you forget about HLR?

Banks can see. There are lot of APIs on the web that provides this capability.

One example,

https://www.messagebird.com/lookup/

https://positive-tech.com/products/signalling-firewall/

Please try attacking this Firewall.

This attack is based on a Routing network not SS7.

CDMA carriers don't use SS7 for SMS unless you're on Roaming.

The Banks already has anti fraud detection systems in place to detect Roaming attacks. They can see whether number is Roaming enabled or not.

The Telecoms do prevent it with Firewalls.

As for CDMA, Please see,

https://www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Verizon%20SS7%20L...

Both articles provides zero evidence other than concept of attack in general and all of them just claiming that mobile numbers can be hacked.

Look, Any Vice reporter can be bribed. You're missing the point.

You are personally attacking me for no reason. What does my other comments has to do with this comment?

I don't care whether you believe me or not. This is a fake news at it's best.

Regarding my comments,

[1] That lady is self marketing guru. It's confirmed everywhere even Reddit.

[2] Modern C++ is simpler than TypeScript, Go, Rust. Modern C++ become more like Python.

[3] The comment about Christ is a Joke. Can't I make Jokes on HN?

Please see my comments at this thread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26468892

A lot of people confirmed this as FUD.

All your references are pointing to Lucky225 who is trying to market his anti-fraud product.

NetNumber has no competitors. It's a routing database.

The Vice article is a paid piece. This attack doesn't work with any of US Mobile carriers.

You don't need LOAs. You need a contract and an API with a upstream provider where you can attack numbers real-time.

This is not a SS7 attack. SS7 attacks doesn't work in practice. Eg A lot of carriers in US are CDMA. GSMA Carriers like AT&T has great firewalls in place to block SS7 attacks.

Further, You can detect SS7 attacks. Major Banks already has measures in place...

The attack also works with Canadian carriers.

This applies to Canada as-well

Mr Krebs, Please do your due diligence. The attack vector only works for Landlines, VOIP, Toll-free.

Upstream agreements already block Mobile carriers.

Further, SMS from Short Codes are blocked by default. You can only receive SMS from long-numbers. Eg Wicker ..
