Webservice Debugs Linux Binaries While-U-Wait

Posted by michael on from the laziness-and-impatience dept.

null-und-eins writes "A new webservice offers automatic debugging of Linux binaries. It takes a (with "-g" compiled) binary and two invocations where one fails and the other doesn't. The service repeatedly runs the two programs and tries to find the smallest difference between the two that causes the failure. Nice google-like interface with statistics about its own performance."

    ...these guys allow me to upload any linux executable, which they will then execute in a gdb context?

    Alfred, prepare the rootkit!

    Now we've got it debugging the code, we only need to get it started writing the code, and we're sorted :-)

    Easy answer: So he can steal your programs!

    I notice that Fedora Linux is full of bugs, however this site won't let me upload the entire first cd.

    If you find this service useful...

    I'm going to set-up a new MP3-checking site. It inspects the MP3s you upload and tells you whether or not they are protected by copyright. If the MP3s contain copyrighted material, the server informs the user, then saves a copy of the file for, uh, ahem, closer long-term inspection by the site administrator. Contacting the RIAA won't be necessary since it's already been established that the content is copyrighted, and the user warned. It's like RIAA copyright infringer amnesty, but without the legal gotchas!

    Why take chances? Do a batch upload of all your MP3s and save yourself from a lot of legal hassles!

    p.s. Please upload only MP3s encoded at 160Kbps/high quality or better. Quality is very important to the copyright determination process.
