❯ who published the first buffer overflow exploit for Windows?                                                
                                                               
⏺ That's generally credited to DilDog (Christien Rioux) of L0pht Heavy Industries, who published "The Tao of  
  Windows Buffer Overflow" around 1998. It was a seminal piece of work because prior buffer overflow research 
  (like Aleph One's "Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit") had focused on Unix/Linux — DilDog's paper laid  
  out the techniques for exploiting buffer overflows on Windows NT specifically, dealing with the different
  memory layout, SEH, and Win32 API considerations.

European Service Module and Earth, as seen from one of the cameras installed on one of the solar wings of the Orion spacecraft, used to take amazing selfies during the Artemis I mission.

Fun fact: the solar wings are used as selfie-sticks. 🤳

Several cameras installed on the wings will take amazing pictures of the spacecraft from different angles.

The seas have boiled and almost all life is gone.

Three data centers remain, solar-powered, in continuous relay with one another.

They continuously transfer electronic funds back and forth with one another, silently.

At long last, the economy is perfect.

Google has a main problem now as once benign API keys to work with Maps and Firebase now also allow Gemini access and can expose a whole lot of user data they didn't previously had access to
