An approach for process injection (in #linux) with #Perl.

I can't really figure this one out, please help.

I have a whole bunch of modules that layer on each other and I decided to try to use Mojo::Promise to go async. After running into issues I tried to mock some code on the command line and both M:P and Future do the same in that the inner "then"s do not seem to do anything.

```
sub outer{my $p=inner()->then(sub{say "o"}); $p}
sub inner{my $p=Mojo::Promise->new->then(sub{say "i"});$p->timer(1); $p}
outer->wait();
```

prints o only.

Shocking news!

“perl -c script.py” will give you tons of errors!

Apparently it's getting to be too late to get any complex programming done tonight, then.

After a few months of research I'm publishing a new article on my weblog. It's called "Furia: an approach for process injection with Perl". It discusses a Perl implementation of the ROP stack hijacking technique using the process_vm_writev syscall. Link: https://isra.cl/articles/furia.html #perl #linux

@manwar 's post in last year’s #Perl Advent Calendar about his Map::Tube module intrigued me. I decided I wanted to build a map for the tram network where I live: Hannover. Along the way, I decided to write up how to create a Map::Tube map for one’s city of interest. Since I enjoy explaining things in detail, this got … long. So I broke it up into parts.

This is the first post in a five-part series about how to create Map::Tube maps. Enjoy!

About 25 years ago, I disliked that so many Debian tools were written in Perl because the language allowed too many ways to do the same thing. Now, I consider Perl 5 mature and predictable compared to Python 3.

A favorite hobby of mine has become collecting outdated, preferably chintzy, tech books. My most recent is the MS-DOS 6.2 guide.

Alerte sécurité #Perl – CVE-2024-56406

Si vous avez une solution ou un site exposé sur Internet avec Perl (v5.34 à v5.40), prenez 1 min pour lire ceci

Une faille heap buffer overflow dans l’opérateur tr/// permet de planter Perl via une simple ligne de code :

perl -e '$_ = "\x{FF}" x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;'

Risque d'attaque opportuniste par déni de service

Possiblement à risque si exposés:

• Portails d'hébergements mutualisés

• Scripts Perl manipulant des entrées utilisateur

• Stacks locales (ex : XAMPP)

Pour se protéger :

Mettez à jour en 5.40.2 ( https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.40.2/changes) ou 5.38.4 (https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.38.4/changes)

Here is an upbeat tune I made:

I used the #Perl program https://metacpan.org/release/GENE/MIDI-RtController-Filter-CC-0.0603/source/eg/multi.pl to help create it. Specifically, it makes the bass sound like a farty didgeridoo and the arpeggiation more vibrant. :D
