Personal blog · maldr0id.blogspot.comsecurityprogramming
(Not only) Android malware analysis is a personal blog at maldr0id.blogspot.com about security and programming. Since 2014, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as a 'see also' on a crystalline cipher thread and in a discussion of cryptography claims. The blog covers Android malware analysis, and the comments do not judge its writing.
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.

What Hacker News says?
Are you aware that the "my homebrew crypto system is functionally equivalent to a one-time pad, and is therefore perfect" argument is so overused by cranks that it's considered a cliche among actual cryptographers?

HN discussionThanks for that rabbit hole! See also: https://github.com/mmcc1/crystalline http://maldr0id.blogspot.com/2015/05/crystalline-cipher-and-... The authors inability to take any criticism is stunning, sometimes I wonder if a fragile ego isn't one of the greatest barriers to cyber security..
