Goals

  • Find out different exploitable regions inside the libtriton.so library.

What I worked on

  • Understood the flow of how exactly is LLVM IR converted to ptx, now I have a partial understanding of what is going on under the hood.
  • Bought a new cooler for my room.

Key Insights

  • LLVM IR to ptx conversion is straight forward in some cases and in some cases it involves multiple steps.

Questions / Confusions

  • I wish to somehow change the CmpCode enum such that I can convert LT to GT or vice versa.

Ideas / Hypotheses

  • Should start reading high quality stuff daily to keep my mind sane.

Papers / Resources

  • None

Next Steps

  • Create an end-to-end automated framework for finding out the exploitable flips.

Introspection

  • Today was a good enough day, I downloaded a new book which I will be reading on my iPad.
