Dhaval Kapil's personal blog at dhavalkapil.com covers security and systems. Since 2015, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 14 times, most often “SQL Attack (Constraint-based)”. The last post was in 2018, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked on HN for security and shell posts, including a buffer overflow exploit explainer and a Bash pitfalls article. One commenter points to the buffer overflow post as a basics introduction.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
