// homerunner is Brad's shitty Docker wrapper after he got tired of running

// run my containers from gcr.io, and use my home Ceph cluster for mounts/state.

// This primarily runs Home Assistant, HomeSeer, an MQTT server, and some cameras.

Reversing Cisco IOS Raw Binary Firmware Images with Ghidra

Reversing Raw Binary Firmware Files in Ghidra

This brief tutorial will show you how to go about analyzing a raw binary firmware image in Ghidra.

Prep work in Binwalk

I was recently interested in reversing some older Cisco IOS images. Those images come in the form of a single binary blob, without any sort of ELF, Mach-o, or PE header to describe the binary.

While I am using Cisco IOS Images in this example, the same process should apply to other Raw Binary Firmware Images.

Important organizational announcement Due to feedback from several people who wish to contribute, this project is being moved to it's own repository. The master copy is now at SalusaSecondus/CryptoGotchas. This will let us more easily take PRs/Issues and track contributions.

Python zipapp

Python zipapp web apps

What's a zipapp?

This concept is very much like .jar or .war archives in Java.

NOTE: The built .pyz zipapp can run on both Python 2 & 3 but you can only build .pyz zipapps with Python 3.5 or later.

Initial setup

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Semiprivate Keys

🚨 DANGER: INSECURE! 🚨

This may have seemed like a great idea in 2013, but the repeated "set/clear bits", a.k.a. clamping phases at each level of the hierarchy slowly subtract key strength.

Don't use this as described. Check out Ristretto.

Original text

Semi-private keys are an expansion of the traditional idea
