I guess every five years is a good cadence for blog redesigns. This year’s edition started as a rewrite of the technical implementation, but I ended up also updating the visuals. Here I’ll go through the design goals, and how I met them. More robust and secure delivery This year the web has been strongly turning towards encryption . While my site doesn’t contain any interactive elements, using HTTPS still makes it harder for malicious pa....

2017 has been a pretty good year. I only met three of my four goals - I didn’t graduate with my master’s , but that’s okay because I definitely will be in 2018. Another goal I had that I didn’t mention in the 2017 goal blog post is to read a more. I didn’t read nearly as much as I used to - I used to read several books a month. This year I only read five books, one of which I started several years ago, two I haven’t finished yet. Despite..

Today was the first day where I focused primarily on my SQL project, which was my second priority overall. I did most of the pgexercises on aggregation. There were quite a few of them and by the end they were really challenging. I learned bit about common table expressions which seem awesome and windowing functions which seem great for the business rollup type reports which are otherwise frustrating in regular SQL. I met with the study grou....

Today I finished a big push of work on tealeaves and got the code fully cleaned up and merged to master and all the tests passing again. When I introduced nom_pem last week things destabilized and it took a while to shake all that out. I'm about ready to start adding some linter style rules like making sure the filesystem permissions on your private keys are restrictive. I also worked a bit more on pgexercises this afternoon but they real..

A month ago I left a job as a software engineer and data scientist at Twitter. I was there 4.4 years and I learned a great deal out of it. I not only got significantly better at the job-description part of my job - contributing to code and data analysis - but I also picked up a few bits about what makes larger efforts and collaboration successful. So… without pretense of completeness or correctness, and without further ado, here is a sa....

Here are a few videos that were created by the students of the 2017 CSE 20133/20232 programming class, to demonstrate their end-of-semester projects. This class consisted of EE and other non-CS engineering students, and taught programming using C and C++. Videos included here are done with the permission of the students, and I will add additional videos to the playlist if and when more students decide to make their project videos public..

Privacy is a fundamental human right. It is the right to control to whom and to what information is shared with others. Privacy protects the criteria used to determine how information is deemed private. Simply put, it’s ones right to keep or share information they themselves deem as private; something is private when one deems it thus. Since the advent of the first banner-ads on the web, advertising has grown to become the most popular bu....

I'm starting this blog to share research ideas that I have, and some solutions to problems I find along the way. I've been helped immensely by other people's blogs in the past, and want to do the same. Also it'll give me a chance to communicate the way I approach problems, and hopefully people will give me alternative perspectives either by email ( rachitsingh@outlook.com ) or in the comments, once I figure out how that works. I'm going t..

Last night I asked RC about whether nom or untrusted seemed like better crate choices for parsing mixed text and binary file formats. This morning I woke up super early for no reason and was ready to go so I watched RC alumnus Stefanie Schirmer's talk on parser combinators. Then I was excited to dig in so after I commuted in to RC early I searched on crates for "nom pem" since the PEM format was what I needed to parse next. I found a....

Imagine doing a lot of fun things, a lot of travel, and a lot of pleasure. Imagine laying down on the beach, sipping a Margarita. The salty rim of the glass. A feeling of being refreshed and cheered. Getting up from a beach bed and laying down on a massage table, relaxing and drifting off to sleep. Later on, a tasty dinner with the partner, dancing the calories away in the night club, and having sex. We imagine ourselves in the above situ....

So I've found that the pem crate I've been using doesn't parse headers, which are present in encrypted dsa private key files, and the mailparse crate doesn't parse properly with unix newlines, which seems to be what openssh generates even though in theory the RFCs involved require carriage return newline AFAIK. So I spent most of the day writing my own PEM parser that handles headers and thinking about the things rust programmers think ab....

Earlier this year I become interested in the cryptocurrency scene, particularly bitcoin. In addition to buying some bitcoin on Coinbase , I also bought an AntMiner S3 on eBay . I was using the AntMiner via the NiceHash service, but after the recent hack, I decided to move to an actual pool. After a very short amount of research, I decided to go with SlushPool, which is one of the older pools.

In the winter of 2013 I went to Guinea with a few friends. Guinea is one of my favourite destinations, since Silvia, the mother of my friend Christoph, is working there at a medical laboratory. And having nice people on the ground makes travelling to a foreign country much more enjoyable. Guinea is an interesting country to visit. It is rich in natural resources, which leads to wealth being concentrated in the hands of a few powerful fami..

Coding on tealeaves today was mostly pulling interesting bits out of ssh keys. Misc things discovered openssh will only generate 1024 bit dsa keys, which are not secure, but longer key sizes are supported by other software ecdsa keys the "bits" field represents either 256, 384, or 521 bit size curves and those are the only valid sizes The specific curves are encoded in ASN.1 as object identifiers that appear to be assigned well-known OIDs....

Today I mostly worked on some pgexercises . I learned some good things and did some fairly complex joins but I still feel like I need a lot more practice with joins before I'll actually get that clear light bulb of understanding. Our study group met and reviewed some stuff and made plans. I was hoping to also do some web security capture the flag exercises AND make progress on tealeaves but didn't even come close to getting to either of th....

Here's how I run use docker to run databases for local development. I think my approach is the simplest I've seen and if something is unnecessary I skip it. You don't need data containers or port mappings, so I don't use them. The goal here is to make it very easy to run databases while developing applications or doing DB development work. It's basically the same for macOS and linux but I'm currently on macOS so that's where my instructions....

Bower is no longer the dependency manager of choice for front-end projects. While the open source project is still maintained, its creators decided to deprecate it, and have advised how to migrate to other solutions. In this post, we explain why Bower used to be great, list six reasons why it isn’t necessary anymore, and explain how to move on to newer and better technologies.

This morning I paired on figuring out the structure of rsa private keys which was much easier since someone already wrote detailed documentation with fabulous color-coded binary structures. So mostly we just needed to figure out specifically what is meant when someone says "this is a 1024-bit rsa key". The answer is it's the size of the modulus field. Then we needed the rust code to parse it out, which we used the yasna crate for. My ....

Plexus “A combination of interlaced parts; a network.” For a while I have been neglecting searchcode.com while working on searchcode server. This is of course not an ideal situation and as such I have started working on it again.

For searchcode next (the current version) I rewrote i....
