–Jugaad Singh INTRODUCTION Overflowing and overburdened prisons are often a consequence of either an increased crime rate or an increased conviction rate. However, in India, the situation is neither. It is the consequence of a delayed judicial process, as more than 75% of the in-mates are under trial prisoners.

~By Niveditha K Prasad Introduction The recently introduced Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (‘BNS’) has been touted for introducing wide-scale changes in the penal statute.

First off: whoops! I know this post was promised for a quite some time ago but I got swept up in things and then it slipped my mind! I do apologise, but better late than never. I left off in 1975, with the Super Jet Joke Camera, and pick up again in 1979. That may seem like a long time to go without a gift, but until more recent years such a length of time was not unusual. A set of rub down transfers known as Kalkitos were given away with the 10th birthday issue. It's striking to see how diff...| Wacky Comics!
Launched on 5th May 1979, Jackpot was another addition in the long line of IPC comics and, although not well-remembered as a title that particularly stood out, it certainly had its moments. One such moment came about a year and a half into its run, when The Winners arrived in issue #75. As the first panel makes clear, "the Winner family decided to enter every competition going", and the lengths they would go to and the prizes they would win were the winning formula (pardon the pun) for this l...| Wacky Comics!
Oink! is one title I've thus far neglected to cover much on this blog, but hey - better late than never! So let's amend that with a dive into what is probably my favourite issue of one of the weirder comics published by IPC - lucky number #13. Launched in May 1986, Oink was still a fortnightly comic at this point (it would later go to monthly). Many people actually seem to consider Oink as "a Viz for children", indeed that is a phrase I have seen thrown around a lot, but it is simply not a t...| Wacky Comics!

In January Mozilla published a post on their Attack & Defense blog about Effectively Fuzzing the IPC Layer in Firefox. In this post the authors pointed out that testing individual components of complex systems (such as a web browser) in isolation should be extended by full-system testing, for which snapshot fuzzing seems like a promising tool. As I’ve been using KF/x – a snapshot fuzzer based on Xen’s virtual machine introspection capabilities – since its first release, this seemed li...| Silent Signal Techblog
