Resource leaks are generally due to programming errors: resources that have been acquired must be released, but since release often happens substantially after acquisition, and many things may occur in the meantime (e.g., an exception being thrown or abnormal program termination) it is easy for release to be missed.
For example, an exception occurs when a routine's caller fails to satisfy a precondition, or when a routine cannot ensure a promised postcondition. In Eiffel, exception handling is not used for control flow or to correct data-input mistakes. An Eiffel exception handler is defined using the rescue keyword.
Sockstress is a user-land TCP socket stress framework that can complete arbitrary numbers of open sockets without incurring the typical overhead of tracking state. Once the socket is established, it is capable of sending TCP attacks targeting specific types of kernel and system resources such as Counters, Timers, and Memory Pools.
Scapy is a packet manipulation tool for computer networks, [3] [4] originally written in Python by Philippe Biondi. It can forge or decode packets, send them on the wire, capture them, and match requests and replies. It can also handle tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks, and network discovery.
In early May 2019, an update was deployed to Stack Overflow's development version. It contained a bug which allowed an attacker to grant themselves privileges in accessing the production version of the site.
Accused sex trafficker Alon Alexander will remain behind bars while facing gang rape and other charges, after a judge deemed the once high flying real estate magnate a flight risk.
Bourbon Street has long been party central, and little changed in the hours after Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on Friday outlined the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk.
A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture.
