Our amazing @mxatone wrote a blog about how @databricks implement defense in depth mechanisms to protect our codebase from undesired features or vulnerabilities in third party libraries. Happy sandboxing! databricks.com/blog/2022/08/…

Arthur is amazing. Love how he always searches for the most reliable and portable bugs.
No memory-corruption sandbox escapes ftw (my favourite and preferred kind). Some of my past Mozilla Firefox research.

Please spare a thought for the poor exploit devs. First those fucks at Amazon convince ppl to put a god damn listening post in every house, then Apple/Google build a global contract tracing platform! What's even the bloody point in corrupting an instruction pointer any more?!

Super interesting work by Google TAG and P0
googleprojectzero.blogspot.c… thanks to @_clem1, @5aelo for their joint work on this. This has been a huge effort to pull apart and document almost every byte of a multi-year in-the-wild exploitation campaign, which used 14 different iOS exploits.
