I am:
- a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Utah
- a Swarthmore College alumnus
- an open-source software developer
- a Tor advocate and exit node operator
- a systems and programming languages geek
- a sysadmin for my college computer club
- a competitive distance runner
- a former Asian religion student (in the secular sense)
Articles I've Written
- Media Extension Unit (MXU)
- Entropy-supplying system calls
- OpenIKED
- Resource exhaustion attack
- John Regehr
- SYTOX
- Ranitomeya summersi
- Ranitomeya benedicta
- mcTLS
- Csmith
Articles I plan to write
- a separate article for
rand()andsrand()(they're lumped into C mathematical functions now) - SecRandom, for iOS's random data API
- rc.local or rc init
- virtual system call
- BiBOP allocator
- KLEE (code analyzer)
- restore (program) - maybe this should be merged with dump (program)?
- KeyNote (trust management system) (source)
- talloc
- sea of nodes
- X Lossless Decoder (was deleted for copyright infringement in 2012 because someone pasted in a description from a website)
To-do list
- stat (system call) uses inconsistent formatting
- Linux kernel looks like a quality article, but it could use some paring down and POV tweaks
- privilege revocation is a sad stub that needs some love
- Web-based SSH is a mess
- I've removed a good bit of Web 2.0, but it's still horrific
- Large file support covers an interesting niche topic and could use some work
Bot ideas
- change "Unix-based" and similar to "Unix-like"
- find homepage domains in infoboxes that redirect and fix them
- they should be visually accurate, and it'll probably catch a lot of links that redirect to parked pages or "this no longer exists" pages
- it seems like Infosys (infosys dot com) may have put a subtle advertisement in Web 2.0 - are there any others?
- We should really be less conservative with adding HTTPS prefixes to URLs. It seems that we currently only do this for google.com and maybe archive.org. However, there are many other websites that primarily use HTTPS and try to push users onto it.
- find uses of medication brand names where generic names should probably be used
Notes
Hewlett-Packard
- I found a shill sentence that was added to the HP-UX article intro seven years ago, cited with two HP press releases. The IP?
15.195.201.206. The rDNS?g5w0426-v.atlanta.hp.com. According to the edit comment, it's an "analyst view with citation"... What's most saddening is that WikiBlame shows a bunch of registered users shuffling around the statement during reorganizations without questioning it.
There were still HP IP addresses editing the article as recently as January 2014.
I've been hacking a lot of excessive detail and marketing language out of this article. I've probably shrunk it by 30+%. Help appreciated.
