In a previous article, I described a simple state machine to explain the prefetch behavior and miscellaneous observed bus delays of the Intel 8088. I now believe that the model I described there - although successful in modelling the 8088's behavior - was unnecessarily complex. There are in fact far fewer legitimate bus "delays", and they do not relate to internal state transitions. I have also slightly revised my description of the BIU's prefetching logic - I now believe that the prefetching...| Adventures in PC Emulation

The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it's great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly.| mazzo.li

The Android Runtime (ART) offers a nice memory safety feature when accessing the content of an array.

Last week a friend shared the existence of hlorenzi’s customasm, a tool that can serve as the assembler for arbitrary CPU architectures just by defining a mapping of instructions to encodings. Hey, I made a CPU once! How hard would it be to make a customasm definition for ROSE-8? Turns out…not very! I played around with it for about two hours, and by the end of it I’d translated an entire ROSE-8 program to customasm, with most of the definition file looking basically the same as the tex...| -dealloc

In this post, we are going to take a deep dive into pointer tagging, where metadata is encoded into a word-sized pointer. Doing so allows us to keep a compact representation that can be passed around in machine registers. This is very common in implementing dynamic programming languages, but can really be used anywhere that additional runtime information is needed about a pointer. We will look at a handful of different ways these pointers can be encoded and see how the compiler can optimize t...| coredumped.dev

Software is full of circular dependencies if you look deep enough. Compilers written in the language they compile are the most obvious example, but not the only one.

In my previous post I covered my “Classic” Mac OS emulator set up. One of my goals of getting the emulator set up was to be able to look at and analyze viruses that affected older versions of Mac OS.

Second, it provides an interesting perspective on the history of malicious software. The first virus I decided to look at is called INIT 29.| Scott Knight
Before macOS, and before OS X, there was just Mac OS. This is often referred to as “Classic” Mac OS. It includes System 1 all the way up to Mac OS 9.x.

One of the most exciting things announced at this years WWDC was System Extensions. From a security perspective I think this is a really important advancedment for macOS.
