Die Entwicklung eines Spiels: Die Königsdisziplin des Software-Engineerings?Computerspiele sind für viele ITler der Einstieg. Sei es das Verlangen, auch mal ein Spiel zu programmieren, oder die frühe Erstellung von LUA-Skripten bei World of Warcraft oder auch nur die Programmierung der eigenen Clan-Website.Für Software-Engineers, die nicht in der Spieleindustrie gelandet sind, ist die Entwicklung von Spielen irgendwie etwas Spannendes. Wie erschafft man ein Level? Wie programmiert man, dass sich die Figur in diesem Level bewegen kann? Wie baut man eine Kollisionsdetektion? Das sind zumindest Fragen, die uns oft in den Sinn kommen. Doch Spieleentwicklung ist viel, viel mehr als nur die reine Programmierung. Man könnte sogar die Frage stellen: Ist die Entwicklung eines Spiels die Königsdisziplin des Software-Engineerings?Diese Frage versuchen wir in dieser Episode zu beantworten. Wir sprechen mit dem Spieleentwickler Dominic Pacher, der u.a. am Industrie-Giganten 4.0 mitgearbeitet hat. Wir klären mit ihm auf was es bei einem Spiel ankommt, welche Aufgaben eigentlich eine Game Engine bei der Entwicklung übernimmt, was eigentlich ein Game Loop und ein Vertical Slice ist, wie viel Arbeit in Texturen, Sound und Art-Design anfällt, welche Rolle Collider bei Physik-Engines spielen, wie Spiele getestet werden, welche Herausforderung es bei der Lokalisierung von Spielen und der Veröffentlichung in anderen Ländern gibt, welche Rolle eigentlich ein Game-Publisher hat, wie viel Spiele pro Tag auf Steam erscheinen und wie wichtig aber auch schwierig das Balancing der Spielmechanik ist, um das Spiel attraktiv zu halten.Natürlich sprechen wir auch über Game Engines wie Unity, Unreal oder Godot oder warum Spieleentwickler oft kein Git als Versionskontroll-Software nutzen.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

And while it was shown not to be entirely recession proof, as had been claimed since the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, when it remained one of the few industries still growing steadily, that growth balking a bit in 2022, when the industry contracted by 1.2%, it grew substantially at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has largely maintained that growth since, which has allowed entities operating in this space to claim more and more entertainment-related marketshare, which in turn has shifted the center of gravity in the media world toward video games and away from other leisure options, including things like travel, vacations, and other things you wouldn't typically think of as being competitors of the video game market.Since video games really took off, hitting the mainstream in the 1980s, and becoming a big deal in the 1990s with the emergence of user-friendly consoles and 3D graphics, the economics of video games have changed substantially.Once, video game companies sold games that would play on a user's computer, then consoles—which are basically gaming-focused mini-computers that plug into a customer's TV, or can be carried around in their pockets—those quickly became the new default for many gamers, creating a more optimized gaming experience, though also introducing a new cost for game-makers, as they typically need to pay something to the console-maker to use their tech and have their products work on these platforms.Retail stores became increasingly important to the gaming industry's budgetary concerns around this time, as they would need to take a cut of the sale price of everything they sold, but also have the flexibility to offer deals to their customers, to incentivize purchases and lure them away from other game stores.And further toward the base of the development stack, as games became more sophisticated and refined, game-makers had to spend more money on high-end hardware, but also higher-end software tools that would allow them to develop the games, polish them so they could compete with other offerings, and in some cases use what's often called "middleware" to serve as a scaffolding for their game projects—software tools that are sometimes referred to as game engines.All of which has made the process of producing video games a lot more complex and expensive, and as the industry has become more popular, roping-in more and more customers, more and more entities have popped up, intent on making their own games; and that's fed a spiral toward higher-costs and more complex game-making processes, leading to a lot of enrichment in some cases, and quite a few new business models optimized for different platforms and styles of game, but also quite a few bankruptcies and hostile takeovers, even seemingly successful video game companies sometimes falling short or investing too much in a game that flops, leaving them with insufficient resources to keep the lights on or produce their next product.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent scandal in the video game industry related to one of those middleware, game engine-making companies, and how they're scrambling to make things right after seemingly losing much of their goodwill and credibility essentially overnight.—In early September, 2023, a game engine company called Unity announced that it would be changing its pricing structure, effective Jan 1, 2024, and that set off a wave of outrage and anger from its users, most of which are individual game-makers and game-making companies.To understand why this response was so widespread and vehement, it's helpful to understand a bit about how game engines work and their role in the modern video game industry.Fundamentally, a game engine is a piece of software that serves as a framework for making video games.So while it's not a simple "click a button, get a game" sort of setup, it does dramatically reduce the amount of time and effort required to produce a finished game product, giving users—game-developers of all shapes and sizes—level-editors, physics engines, rendering engines that help them more easily produce and edit 2D and 3D graphics, collision detection tools, which basically track and control how things bump up against each other in the game and what happens when they do, alongside more basic media tools like those that allow for the creation and editing of audio, animations, video content, text, and the like.Modern game engines also help developers keep the size of their games moderated without losing too much quality, they help with memory management on the developers' computers, they can provide artificial intelligence tools and software that helps them build-out multiplayer functionality—it's a really big and powerful toolkit, so the engine that game-makers choose to use is important, and it shapes every other decision they make, and in some ways the final product, too, because of how easy or difficult things are to do within their specific scaffolding.Unity makes a very popular game engine that was originally released in 2005 as a Mac-specific product, but it has since become multiplatform, allowing developers to make games for all sorts of computers, consoles, mobile devices, and virtual reality interfaces.It's perhaps most popular in the mobile gaming space, as it's relatively easy to learn compared to other engines, and is fairly lightweight; and because the mobile gaming space has been growing so rapidly, that's meant Unity has become increasing popular and widespread as a tool, which in turn has had the spillover effect of making it more popular on other platforms, as well—because folks making a mobile game might go on to make a Playstation game next, and may decide to stick with the engine they know, or a gaming company might decide to perch all their games upon the same game engine because that's just a lot easier, both in terms of keeping things simple for developers, and in terms of the costs associated with using a bunch of different engine.The pricing models used by these game engines vary quite a bit from company to company, but typically they make money by selling licenses to use their products; there's generally a free tier for folks learning to use their tools and who make games below a certain threshold of popularity and profit, but at a certain point they'll need to buy the right to use the engine, which generally also comes with a few bonus perks, like better analytics and error reporting options.This system has worked for everyone for a long time now, and though some developers have balked at the idea of paying Unity and similar companies for their engines, opting for free and open source options like Godot, instead, the larger gaming industry has generally oriented itself around just a few primary, paid options, including the Unreal Engine owned by Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, among many other offerings, and Unity, which since its release has been used to make more than 750,000 games, alongside non-game offerings, like augmented reality experiences in Microsoft's HoloLens headset, about 90% of Samsung Gear VR content, machine learning programs like Google's TensorFlow, and even film content, like the backgrounds for the 2019 real-life version of The Lion King and engineering blueprints, like those for cars and buildings.All of which partially explains why so many people were up in arms about the changes Unity announced, seemingly out of nowhere, to their fee structure in early September.The old Unity model, again, included a free version of Unity for folks operating below a certain threshold—that threshold has been $200,000 for a while now—and after that folks would pay a monthly fee to use the engine, and that fee would typically cost about $400 per year per game, though it varied quite a bit as folks paid per seat—that is, per developer using the engine—and based on the size of the studio and game they're working on.Unity's newly announced pricing model, in contrast, would keep a free tier, but would remove some of the cheaper payment options, nudging people up to higher yearly rates, while, importantly, also tacking-on a small fee, somewhere between a cent and twenty cents, for each installation of a game that uses the Unity engine, after a threshold has been crossed.The announcement also said that Unity would use a secret, internal method of determining download numbers, and folks would be on the hook, in some cases, for something closer to $2,000 a year per game, rather than $400-ish, though that number would also vary wildly based on a game's popularity and reach.This sparked all kinds of concerns, as it was an additional fee on top of existing fees, costing game-makers more over time, and without providing any new value in exchange, and because it was retroactive, so everyone who had ever used Unity for any game would be on the hook for this new payment structure—meaning, all those 750,000 games or so would potentially be new sources of revenue for Unity, but would be burdened with new expenses for the folks who made them.All sorts of immediate concerns bubbled to the surface of the gaming community, ranging from worries that small, indie devs would be priced out of the market—folks without big bank accounts to draw upon, and who aren't making games that bring in tons of revenue—to concerns related to the concept of putting a price-tag on downloads: would trolls be able to aim hefty fees on developers they don't like by repeatedly installing and uninstalling their games? Would Unity's tracking software be legit? Would it differentiate new downloads from redownloads, or would someone who buys a game, paying for it once, conceivably be a drain on the developer's bank account forever into the future, because they might install it over and over again, over time, on multiple devices?This outcry was also laden with a heavy sense of betrayal because it seemed to violate Unity's terms of service, and that outcry grew even louder and more betrayal-laden when it became clear, as folks went back to check the end-user license agreement they'd signed, that Unity had quietly, in the preceding months, gone through and edited its EULA to basically allow themselves to do what they had done, even though previous versions said they would never do such a thing.The first week after this announcement, as the gaming world unified against Unity, the company's stock tumbled around 16.5% from where it was before the announced change, which is the opposite of what the company had hoped to accomplish—industry analysis suggests that the company is trying to shore-up its numbers, never having been profitable, but finding itself especially pressed for cash right now, and hoping to avoid being in the same situation in the future.What seems to have happened is they tried to do too much at once, essentially grabbing at immediate cash as much as possible, while also trying to scale-up their future prospects by giving themselves a means of benefitting from the success of the games that use their engine; this isn't an entirely novel concept, as their competitor, Unreal, charges a 5% revenue share from game-makers using their engine, but because this was new, out of nowhere, seemed to come about without the folks running Unity checking-in with anyone in the gaming industry to see if it would be alright, and if so to see what sorts of numbers would be tenable for their business models, and because it was retroactively applied using a seemingly pretty skeezy, secretive method of basically giving themselves permission, on the down-low, after swearing up and down they would never do exactly this—all of it went over quite badly, the gaming world revolted against them, near-universally, and this has led to a huge exodus from Unity to other platforms, including the free and open source Godot, which has quite suddenly received a wave of funds from some of the more successful indie game studios out there, and newfound attention from folks who are learning they can relatively simply port their games from Unity to Godot, saving them the future hassle and expense of dealing with the former.The alternative floated by some gaming studios and individual makers was to simply pull their games from shelves, and this was also threatened, especially in cases where the games are free to play, and thus tend to garner huge numbers of downloads, but don't make money on all the people who install their game—which means their work would become huge weights around their ledgers, losing them money each year, rather than earning them money.It took more than a week, but the higher-ups at Unity eventually made some noises about having heard the game-making world and feeling bad about releasing this new model without first seeking their input, and they said they would take another stab at things and get back to them.They then released a new plan, a new pricing model, that seems to have infuriated people substantially less—a revamp that still includes changes, but apparently less catastrophic ones.The new plan says they'll rely on game-maker-reported numbers to tally downloads, and they've raised the revenue cap at which folks need to upgrade to $200,000, so below that and you can keep the low-tier Unity Personal plan, which is excluded from this new pricing model, and that roughly lines up with where things were before—and any game that makes less than $1 million in 12 months will also be exempt from the additional, per-install fee.Perhaps most importantly, though, Unity is now saying games made with previous versions of their engine won't be beholden to this new pricing model, nor would they need to abide by the new terms of service, which among other things says their games need to include a big, Made by Unity splash screen at the beginning, and only those that use the new version being released in 2024 would be required to pay based on downloads, though developers can choose to pay a 2.5% revenue share rather than using the per-installation model—and there's some indication that if they report install numbers, the company will choose whichever is the lowest fee for them, automatically, and charge them that.All of which seems to have cooled things down quite a lot, though a fair bit of damage has already been done to the company's reputation in the industry; many game-makers are still saying they're intending to port their games away as soon as they're able, and that they won't use Unity in the future, because the people in charge of the company have shown their true colors, have shown that they're willing to renege on previous commitments and promises, and burn the goodwill they've earned over the years, in order to pull in more money, to fill the gaps in their balance sheets.The company is investing in a big PR push to try to win people back and polish their now-tarnished brand, but it could be a while before they manage to do so, if indeed they do manage to do so.In the meantime, industry alternatives have seen a big boost in attention and use, and there's a chance we could see more entrants in this space, popping up to take advantage of the hole left by Unity's flub, and introducing entirely new business models that may further innovate on what we've already seen, and allow entirely new game-world business models to arise and flourish.

Hey there Cubies! Throughout the years there have been a multitude of ways in which games have been made. There are a plethora of game engines out there for designers to choose from. And each one, while can make an amazing game, have their own little differences. But what did they use before game engines were a thing? They actually used machine language to make their games and it took have an engineering background to do so. Game engine take what we want and convert it to machine language for the computer to understand. So, with their invention game design has been brought to the masses for better and for worse. But when it comes to deciding which engine to dedicate your time towards, that can be a crippling choice. Don't worry though we have gone through the history of engines and tested out quite a few to give discuss some of the strengths of these engines. Ultimately though what matters is what you have access to because what matters the most is the passion behind the game not the engine.  -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

John McInnes: Make Movies with Game Engines by The Soundcasting Network

This week Steve is joined by friend of the show Max Wright and the pair kick the show off by answering the question… What is our favorite game franchise? We also touch on a week of remakes from Age of Empires coming to Xbox, The Witcher ditching the Red Engine for Unreal Engine 5, and Silent Hill's big comeback! But does this shift to Unreal Engine 5 spell doom for in-house game engines and are we at risk of a choice between Unity or Unreal Engine 5? Of course with it being Halloween week we had to touch on survival horror as a genre, especially with the upcoming Resident Evil Village DLC and the both of us being addicted to Vampire Survivors!

Prior to the creation of Game Engines, every part of a video games for consoles or PC's was created by the development team. A game engine can hold the basic concepts for a game, or be a template that can be built upon. Let's jump in to what a Game Engine is and then the pieces and a few examples of game engines with maybe a few games developed for each!

Nesse episódio do Behind The Game Podcast eu converso com o Paulo Souza, Evangelista na Epic Games. O Paulo está na Epic desde 2015, mas seu início de carreira na área de games foi criando seu próprio estúdio de jogos.

So, der zweite Podcast in diesem schönen neuen Jahr 2022 steht an. Da CIG sich noch im Urlaubsmodus befindet, zumindest was die Veröffentlichungen angeht, haben Kendorak und ich ein paar Themen von unserem Discord-Server aufgegriffen. Los geht es mit der Frage, wie die aktuelle Entwicklung von Game Engines Star Citizen beeinflussen könnte. Dann geht es mit einer Betrachtung des neuen Legatus-Pakets weiter. Das dritte Kapitel dreht sich um Mining, wozu wir fairerweise gar nicht so viel sagen können. Im vierten Kapitel sprechen Kendorak und ich über unsere Top-5-Schiffe, die sich schon im Spiel befinden. Tja, und zu guter Letzt haben Kendorak und ich auch noch eine Verlosung für euch vorbereitet. Im Rahmen unseres Geburtstags wollen wir euch Hörer ein wenig beschenken; wie und was es genau gibt, erfahrt ihr in der Folge. Dieses Mal wieder mit Timestamps - hoffentlich klappt's: Game Engines und Star Citizen 00:03:20 Legatus-Paket 2951 00:18:25 Mining 00:39:35 Unsere Top 5 der aktuell im Spiel befindlichen Schiffe 00:42:44 Verlosung 01:13:50 Wir wünschen euch gute Unterhaltung.

Weta is one of the three or four LARGEST Visual Effects studios in the WORLD -- and they just got bought by game engine company Unity for 1.6 billion dollars! While the VFX studio will still exist & has a majority share under Peter Jackson, this does give Unity full access to all their technology, assets, and other technology. With Unreal Engine already established in the Virtual Production sector (Mandalorian, etc), is this a power-play to try and gain ground in this developing sector? Nick and John have fun guessing where this one will develop!

O desenvolvimento de jogos tem se tornado cada vez mais acessível ao grande público, isso devido ao surgimento de diversas ferramentas que tem como foco facilitar o trabalho na área.

Framework for Resilience is a three-part series of online conversations which bring together activists, artists, researchers and educators to think about the world we are creating, the world we are destroying, the systems which will fall, and those which should prevail. In this second episode of the series, we start from a collection of questions of how we engage with time, land and ownership: What happens if we consider that the very earth and trees, as well as non-sentient beings like AI and stones, have rights? How can we understand time and consequence differently: understanding that indigenous deaths caused climate change in 1600, and prevent the repeating of history? How do we peacefully transform a racialised colonial system which values the very commodities which are destroying lives, bodies, and lands? Episode host Dr. Nicola Triscott (Director/CEO of FACT) and mediator Helen Starr (Curator), and gathered speakers Jack Tan (Artist), Himali Singh Soin (Writer, Artist) and Nabil Ahmed (Artist, Educator), consider how Western principles do not allow for ethical collaboration between beings, focusing rather on exploitation and one-sided gains. They instead explore how indigenous approaches might influence the way we establish ideas of kinship, and open up our sense of community to include other forms of existence, particularly in the future. If we approach the world with a different sense of time, and with empathy for all modes of existence, we might be able to create new forms of collaboration and notions of belonging. The reading list for this conversation can be found here. ------ ABOUT FRAMEWORK FOR RESILIENCE This online conversation is part of The Living Planet, FACT’s year-long season which focuses on the non-human, and deals with themes such as climate change, ecology and communication, as well as the violence of ‘othering’. This series will inform our programme for the rest of the year which focuses on systems of knowledge and classification in the formation of identity and the exercise of power. They also form part of Artsformation, a research project which seeks to identify new ways of working, specifically at the intersection between art, society and technology, to overcome current social crises including justice, democracy and climate. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The title for these sessions is taken from the artwork, PESTS, by Shonagh Short. Commissioned by FACT in 2020 for FACT Together. ABOUT HELEN STARR Helen is an Afro-Carib curator, producer and cultural activist from Trinidad, WI. She began curating exhibitions with artists such as Susan Hillier, Cindy Sherman and Marcel Duchamp in 1995. Helen founded The Mechatronic Library in 2010, to give marginalised artists access to technologies such as Game Engines, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR). Helen has worked with many public institutions such as Wysing Art Centre, FACT, Liverpool and QUAD in Derby. Being Indigenous-American Helen is interested in how digital artforms transform our understanding of reality by world-building narratives through storytelling and counter-storytelling. How, by “naming one’s own reality” we can experience the Other. Helen has commissioned projects from artists such as Rebecca Allen, Danielle Braithewaite-Shirley, Anna Bunting-Branch, Megan Broadmeadow, Aliyah Hussain and Salma Noor. Helen believes that speculative artworks can give a glimpse of a future filled with hope. Helen is on the board of QUAD, Derby and in 2020 she co-founded DAAD Futurism with Amrita Dhallu and Salma Noor. ABOUT JACK TAN Jack uses law, social norms and customs as a way of making art. He creates performances, sculpture and participatory projects that highlight the rules that guide human behaviour. Jack trained as a lawyer and worked in civil rights NGOs before becoming an artist. His Ph.D research explored legal aesthetics and performance and he co-edits the Art/Law Journal. Recent projects include Four Legs Good (2018) a revival of the medieval animal trials for Compass Festival Leeds and V&A London; his Singapore Biennale presentation Voices From The Courts examining the vocality of the State Courts of Singapore (2016), Law’s Imagination (2016) a curatorial residency at arebyte exploring legal aesthetics; his solo exhibition How to do things with rules (2015) at the ICA Singapore; and Closure (2012), a year-long residency and exhibition at the UK Department for Health looking at the liquidation of their social work quango. Jack has also taught sculpture at the Royal College of Art and University of Brighton, and politics at Goldsmiths. ABOUT HIMALI SINGH SOIN Himali is a writer and artist based between London and Delhi. She uses metaphors from outer space and the natural environment to construct imaginary cosmologies of interferences, entanglements, deep voids, debris, delays, alienation, distance and intimacy. In doing this, she thinks through ecological loss, and the loss of home, seeking shelter somewhere in the radicality of love. Her speculations are performed in audio-visual, immersive environments. Her almanac ‘we are opposite like that’, comprises missing paraphernalia from polar archives, false philosophies, unreliable observations from the ship, love letters, ekphrastic poems, and made-up maps. It marks the culmination of the eponymous interconnected body of work (since 2017) exploring the uninhabited parts of the Arctic and Antarctic circles from the perspective of ice, and its uncanny bearing on the rest of the world. ABOUT NABIL AHMED Nabil Ahmed is a transdisciplinary scholar and writer. He leads INTERPRT, an environmental justice project that investigates and advocates for the criminalisation of ecocide under international law. INTERPRT’s long term research has been exhibited most recently at the Warsaw Biennale/The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Beirut Arts Centre and The Museon museum for science and culture in The Hague. He has written for Third Text, Candide: Journal for Architectural Knowledge, MIT Press, Routledge, Documenta, Volume magazine, Sternberg Press, Mousse Publishing, Scientific Reports, Archeological and Environmental Forensic Science, among others. He holds a PhD from the Centre for Research Architecture He has taught and lectured extensively in the UK and internationally.

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt   Do you want to learn game development in 2020? Then, you're in the right place. However, you might be asking yourself: where do I start? With so many game engines out there, which one should you pick? Unity? Unreal Engine? Godot? Unity is amongst the most popular game engines and it is definitely one of the most intuitive ones, especially for beginners. Unreal Engine, on the other side, uses C++ which is a much more powerful programming language and also lets you create AMAZING graphics. Godot, on the other hand, is a new game engine that is rising in the latest years and lets you create pretty cool games in an easy way... Which game engine should you pick for 2020? That's what we're going to be discussing in this video

The Doomed Infocom Dinner Episode: The Eye-Opening E-mail, An Infocom Life, After Infocom Infocom, Phoning in a Text Adventure, Thaumistry, Spellcasting 101, Uncreated Games, The Miracle of Game Engines. Plus: Emergency Room. There are three podcasts being posted today. I'm keeping to 4 a month and I just got hit with a lot of commitments and project work that took me away from recording. I also recorded an episode while I was in California that had sound so terrible I just had to try again. This one's about one of my favorite letters I ever got, as well as thoughts on creating games then and now, and the benefits of each. I love creative tools so much!

DragonflyBSD 4.8.1 has been released, we explore how the X11 clipboard works, and look at OpenBSD gaming resources. This episode was brought to you by Headlines LLVM, Clang and compiler-rt support enhancements (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/llvm_clang_and_compiler_rt) In the last month I started with upstream of the code for sanitizers: the common layer and ubsan. I worked also on the elimination of unexpected failures in LLVM and Clang. I've managed to achieve, with a pile of local patches, the number of 0 unexpected bugs within LLVM (check-llvm) and 3 unexpected bugs within Clang (check-clang) (however these ones were caused by hardcoded environment -lstdc++ vs -lc++). The number of failures in sanitizers (check-sanitizer) is also low, it's close to zero. LLVM In order to achieve the goals of testability concerning the LLVM projects, I had to prepare a new pkgsrc-wip package called llvm-all-in-one that contains 12 active LLVM projects within one tree. The set of these projects is composed of: llvm, clang, compiler-rt, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, test-suite, openmp, llgo, lld, lldb, clang-tools-extra. These were required to build and execute test-suites in the LLVM's projects. Ideally the tests should work in standalone packages - built out-of-LLVM-sources - and with GCC/Clang, however the real life is less bright and this forced me to use Clang as the system compiler an all-in-one package in order to develop the work environment with the ability to build and execute unit tests. There were four threads within LLVM: Broken std::callonce with libstdc++. This is an old and well-known bug, which was usually worked around with a homegrown implementation llvm::callonce. I've discovered that the llvm::callonce workaround isn't sufficient for the whole LLVM functionality, as std::callonce can be called internally inside the libstdc++ libraries - like within the C++11 futures interface. This bug has been solved by Joerg Sonnenberger in the ELF dynamic linker. Unportable shell construct hardcoded in tests ">&". This has been fixed upstream. LLVM JIT. The LLVM Memory generic allocator (or page mapper) was designed to freely map pages with any combination of the protection bits: R,W,X. This approach breaks on NetBSD with PaX MPROTECT and requires redesign of the interfaces. This is the continuation of the past month AllocateRWX and ReleaseRWX compatibility with NetBSD improvements. I've prepared few variations of local patches addressing these issues and it's still open for discussion with upstream. My personal preference is to remove the current API entirely and introduce a newer one with narrowed down functionality to swap between readable (R--), writable (RW-) and executable (R-X) memory pages. This would effectively enforce W^X. Sanitizers support. Right now, I keep the patches locally in order to upstream the common sanitizer code in compiler-rt. The LLVM JIT API is the last cause of unexpected failures in check-llvm. This breaks MCJIT, ORCJIT and ExecutionEngine libraries and causes around 200 unexpected failures within tests. Clang I've upstreamed a patch that enables ubsan and asan on Clang's frontend for NetBSD/amd64. This support isn't complete, and requires sanitizers' support code upstreamed to compiler-rt. compiler-rt The current compiler-rt tasks can be divided into: upstream sanitizer common code shared with POSIX platforms upstream sanitizer common code shared with Linux and FreeBSD upstream sanitizer common code shared with FreeBSD upstream sanitizer common code specific to NetBSD build, execute and pass tests for sanitizer common code in check-santizer This means that ubsan, asan and the rest of the specific sanitizers wait in queue. All the mentioned tasks are being worked on simultaneously, with a soft goal to finish them one after another from the first to the last one. The last point with check-sanitizer unveiled so far two generic bugs on NetBSD: Return errno EFAULT instead of EACCES on memory fault with read(2)/write(2)-like syscalls. Honor PTHREADDESTRUCTORITERATIONS in libpthread. These bugs are not strictly real bugs, but they were introducing needless differences with other modern POSIX systems. The fixes were introduced by Christos Zoulas and backported to NetBSD-8. Plan for the next milestone I have decided not to open new issues in with the coming month and focus on upstreaming the remaining LLVM code. The roadmap for the next month is to continue working on the goals of the previous months. std::call_once is an example that every delayed bug keeps biting again and again in future. LLVM 5.0.0 is planned to be released this month (August) and there is a joint motivation with the upstream maintainer to push compatibility fixes for LLVM JIT. There is an option to submit a workaround now and introduce refactoring for the trunk and next version (6.0.0). This work was sponsored by The NetBSD Foundation.

Encompassing over 150 Mbytes (and growing) of cutting-edge operating systems, networking, and applications software, BSD is a fully functional and nonproprietary complete operating systems software distribution (see Figure 1). In fact, every version of UNIX available from every vendor contains at least some Berkeley UNIX code, particularly in the areas of filesystems and networking technologies. However, unless one could pay the high cost of site licenses and equipment, access to this software was simply not within the means of most individual programmers and smaller research groups. The 386BSD project was established in the summer of 1989 for the specific purpose of porting BSD to the Intel 80386 microprocessor platform so that the tools this software offers can be made available to any programmer or research group with a 386 PC. In coordination with the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) at the University of California at Berkeley, we successively ported a basic research system to a common AT class machine (see, Figure 2), with the result that approximately 65 percent of all 32-bit systems could immediately make use of this new definition of UNIX. We have been refining and improving this base port ever since. By providing the base 386BSD port to CSRG, our hope is to foster new interest in Berkeley UNIX technology and to speed its acceptance and use worldwide. We hope to see those interested in this technology build on it in both commercial and noncommercial ventures. In this and following articles, we will examine the key aspects of software, strategy, and experience that encompassed a project of this magnitude. We intend to explore the process of the 386BSD port, while learning to effectively exploit features of the 386 architecture for use with an advanced operating system. We also intend to outline some of the tradeoffs in implementation goals which must be periodically reexamined. Finally, we will highlight extensions which remain for future work, perhaps to be done by some of you reading this article today. Note that we are assuming familiarity with UNIX, its concepts and structures, and the basic functions of the 386, so we will not present exhaustive coverage of these areas. In this installment, we discuss the beginning of our project and the initial framework that guided our efforts, in particular, the development of the 386BSD specification. Future articles will address specific topics of interest and actual nonproprietary code fragments used in 386BSD. Among the future areas to be covered are: 386BSD process context switching Executing the first 386BSD process on the PC 386BSD kernel interrupt and exception handling 386BSD INTERNET networking ISA device drivers and system support 386BSD bootstrap process *** X11: How does “the” clipboard work (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2017-04-02/0/POSTING-en.html) > If you have used another operating system before you switched to something that runs X11, you will have noticed that there is more than one clipboard: > Sometimes, you can use the mouse to select some text, switch to another window, and then hit the middle mouse button to paste text. > Sometimes, you can select text, then hit some hotkey, e.g. Ctrl+C, switch to another window, hit another hotkey, e.g. Ctrl+V, and paste said text. > Sometimes, you can do both. > Selections as a form of IPC First things first, in X11 land, “clipboards” are called “selections”. Yes, there is more than one selection and they all work independently. In fact, you can use as many selections as you wish. In theory, that is. When using selections, you make different clients communicate with each other. This means that those clients have to agree on which selections to use. You can't just invent your own selection and then expect Firefox to be compatible with it. How are selections identified? There are three “standard” selection names: PRIMARY: The “middle mouse clipboard” SECONDARY: Virtually unused these days CLIPBOARD: The “Ctrl+C clipboard” Program 1: Query selection owners Content type and conversion Program 2: Get clipboard as UTF-8 Program 3: Owning a selection Program 4: Content type TARGETS Handling binary data using xclip Large amounts of data Clipboard managers Summary News Roundup TrueOS Documentation: A great way to give back! (https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueos-documentation-great-way-give-back/) The TrueOS project is always looking for community contribution. Documentation changes are a great way for users to not only make a solid contribution to the project, but learn more about it too! Over the last few months, many users have asked for both simple and detailed instructions on making documentation changes. These are now added to the TrueOS handbook in the Contributing to TrueOS section. If interested in making a small alteration to the TrueOS handbook, here are some instructions for submitting a patch through the GitHub website. These instructions are also applicable to the Lumina and SysAdm handbooks. Lumina documentation is in the the lumina-docs repository, and SysAdm guides are in sysadm-docs. Make a Doc change! A GitHub account is required to submit patches to the TrueOS docs. Open a web browser and sign in to GitHub or make a new account. When making a new account, be sure to use an often checked email address, as all communication regarding patches and pull requests are sent to this address. Navigate to the trueos-docs GitHub repository. Click on the trueos-handbook directory to view all the documentation files. Open the .rst file corresponding to the chapter needing an update. The chapter names are reflected in the title of the .rst files. For example, open install.rst to fix an error spotted in handbook chapter 3: “Install”. This first image shows the trueos-docs repository and the contents of the trueos-handbook directory Open the desired chapter file by clicking its entry in the list. The trueos.rst file is an index file and should be ignored. Begin editing the file by clicking the Pencil icon in the upper right corner above the file's text. The file moves to edit mode, where it is now possible to make changes, as the next image shows. Editing install.rst with GitHub When making a simple change, it is recommended to avoid adjusting the specific formatting elements and instead work within or around them. Once satisfied, scroll to the bottom of the page and write a detailed commit summary of the new changes. Click Propose file change (green button), then Create pull request to submit the changes to the project. GitHub then does an automated merge check. Click Create pull request again to submit the change to the repository. In the final step, a developer or project committer reviews the changes, merging them into the project or asking for more changes as necessary. Learn more about TrueOS documentation To learn more about the underlying structure of TrueOS documentation like the Sphinx Documentation Generator and reStructuredText markup, browse the Advanced Documentation Changes section of the TrueOS handbook. This section also contains instructions for forking the repository and configuring a local clone, build testing, updating the translation files, and other useful information. The Sphinx website is also a valuable resource. libHijack Revival (https://www.soldierx.com/news/Hijack-Revival) Over a decade ago, while standing naked and vulnerable in the comfort of my steaming hot shower, I gathered my thoughts as humans typically attempt to do in the wee hours of the morning. Thoughts of a post-exploitation exercise raced in my mind, the same thoughts that made sleeping the night before difficult. If only I could inject into Apache some code that would allow me to hook into its parsing engine without requiring persistance. Putting a file-backed entry into /proc/pid/maps would tip off the security team to a compromise. The end-goal was to be able to send Apache a special string and have Apache perform a unique action based on the special string. FelineMenace's Binary Protection Schemes whitepaper provided inspiration. Silvio Cesare paved the way into PLT/GOT redirection attacks. Various Phrack articles selflessly contributed to the direction I was to head. Alas, in the aforementioned shower, an epiphany struck me. I jumped as an awkward stereotypical geek does: like an elaborate Elaine Benes dance rehearsal in the air. If I used PTrace, ELF, and the PLT/GOT to my advantage, I could cause the victim application to allocate anonymous memory mappings arbitrarily. In the newly-created memory mapping, I could inject arbitrary code. Since a typical operating system treats debuggers as God-like applications, the memory mapping could be mapped without write access, but as read and execute only. Thus enabling the stealth that I sought. The project took a few years to develop in my spare time. I ended up creating several iterations, taking a rough draft/Proof-of-Concept style code and rewriting it to be more efficient and effective. I had toyed with FreeBSD off-and-on for over a decade by this point, but by-and-large I was still mostly using Linux. FreeBSD gained DTrace and ZFS support, winning me over from the Linux camp. I ported libhijack to FreeBSD, giving it support for both Linux and FreeBSD simultaneously. In 2013, I started work on helping Oliver Pinter with his ASLR implementation, which was originally destined to be upstreamed to FreeBSD. It took a lot of work, and my interest in libhijack faded. As a natural consequence, I handed libhijack over to SoldierX, asking the community to take it and enhance it. Over four years went by without a single commit. The project was essentially abandoned. My little baby was dead. This past week, I wondered if libhijack could even compile on FreeBSD anymore. Given that four years have passed by and major changes have happened in those four years, I thought libhijack would need a major overhaul just to compile, let alone function. Imagine my surprise when libhijack needed only a few fixups to account for changes in FreeBSD's RTLD. Today, I'm announcing the revival of libhijack. No longer is it dead, but very much alive. In order to develop the project faster, I've decided to remove support for Linux, focusing instead on FreeBSD. I've removed hundreds of lines of code over the past few days. Supporting both FreeBSD and Linux meant some code had to be ugly. Now the beautification process has begun. I'm announcing the availability of libhijack 0.7.0 today. The ABI and API should be considered unstable as they may change without notice. Note that HardenedBSD fully mitigates libhijack from working with two security features: setting security.bsd.unprivilegedprocdebug to 0 by default and the implementation of PaX NOEXEC. The security.bsd.unprivilegedprocdebug sysctl node prevents PTrace access for applications the debugger itself did not fork+execve for unprivileged (non-root) users. Privileged users (the root account) can use PTrace to its fullest extent. HardenedBSD's implementation of PaX NOEXEC prevents the creation of memory mappings that are both writable and executable. It also prevents using mprotect to toggle between writable and executable. In libhijack's case, FreeBSD grants libhijack the ability to write to memory mappings that are not marked writable. Debuggers do this to set breakpoints. HardenedBSD behaves differently due to PaX NOEXEC. Each memory mapping has a notion of a maximum protection level. When a memory mapping is created, if the write bit is set, then HardenedBSD drops the execute bit from the maximum protection level. When the execute bit is set at memory mapping creation time, then the write bit is dropped from the maximum protection level. If both the write and execute bits are set, then the execute bit is silently dropped from both the mapping creation request and the maximum protection level. The maximum protection level is always obeyed, even for debuggers. Thus we see that PaX NOEXEC is 100% effective in preventing libhijack from injecting code into a process. Here is a screenshot showing PaX NOEXEC preventing libhijack from injecting shellcode into a newly-created memory mapping. What's next for libhijack? Here's what we have planned, in no particular order: Python bindings Port to arm64 This requires logic for handling machine-dependent code. High priority. Finish anonymous shared object injection. This requires implementing a custom RTLD from within libhijack. More cleanups. Adhere to style(9). libhijack can be found on GitHub @ https://github.com/SoldierX/libhijack *** Contributing to FreeBSD (https://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/2988) I've talked to a whole bunch of folks who say things like “I'm a junior programmer. I'm looking for a way to help. I have no specific expertise, but I'm willing to learn.” Today, I present such junior programmers with an opportunity. An opportunity for you to learn skills that will be incredibly valuable to your career, and will simultaneously expand your career opportunities. For decades, FreeBSD has relied on its users for testing. They expect users to install pre-release versions of the OS and exercise them to identify regressions. That's necessary, but it's nowhere near enough. The FreeBSD Testing Project is building an automated test suite for the entire operating system. They have a whole mess of work to do. There's only four people on the team, so each additional person that contributes can have a serious impact. They have tutorials on how to write tests, and sample tests. There's a whole bunch of tests left to be written. You have an almost open field. They need tests for everything from ls(1) to bhyve. (Yes, ls(1) broke at one point in the last few years.) Everything needs testing. Learning to write, submit, and commit small tests is valuable experience for developing the big tests. What's more, learning to write tests for a system means learning the system. Developing tests will transform you into a FreeBSD expert. Once you've demonstrated your competence, worth, and ability to work within the project, other FreeBSD teams will solicit your help and advice. The Project will suck you in. Testing is perhaps the most valuable contribution anyone can make to an open source project. And this door into the FreeBSD Project is standing wide, wide open.

Juli James never thought playing 80 hours of Zelda would turn into a bullet point on her resume. With a background in journalism, Juli treaded a decision to either focus on her journalism career or going into academics. Of course, then her and her colleagues received a grant to develop a game engine for journalists while moving to Texas which they eventually turned into a new company, Playable Media. Juli is also a big advocate to support and empower women in technology by leading the local Denton chapter for Women Who Code through regular workshops and meetups. We talk to Juli about all things journalism, game design, education, and how the heck you even build a game engine this week on the TechMill Podcast.
