The Ken Thompson Hack

kidneybone.com/c2/wiki/TheKenThompsonHack

Ken describes how he injected a virus into a compiler. Not only did his compiler know it was compiling the login function and inject a backdoor, but it also knew when it was compiling itself and injected the backdoor generator into the compiler it was creating. The source code for the compiler thereafter contains no evidence of either virus.

banging errors in go

flak.tedunangst.com/post/bango

Tedu wrote a tool that lets you handle errors in Go like this:

func decomp(filename string) ([]byte, error) {
        fd := ^os.Open(filename)
        defer fd.Close()
        zd := ^gzip.NewReader(fd)
        data := ^io.ReadAll(zd)
        return data, nil
}

Funky!
