RedSun is a proof-of-concept security project that demonstrates a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Defender by exploiting unintended file-handling behavior. The tool leverages how Defender processes files tagged with cloud metadata, where instead of removing malicious files, the antivirus may rewrite them to their original location. By carefully manipulating this process, the exploit enables attackers to overwrite protected system files and gain SYSTEM-level...

CPlusPlusThings is a repository collecting various C++ code samples, utilities, patterns, and small example projects. It is less a polished product and more a learning/reference collection of snippets and usages of C++ idioms, data structures, algorithms, utilities, and perhaps tricks or meta-programming exercises. (No prominent README or detailed docs were available from my quick search.) Example implementations of data structures and algorithms. Organized as a learning repository (rather...

Botcraft is an advanced Minecraft bot framework that provides a full client implementation in Node.js, enabling bots to join Minecraft servers, interact with the world, and perform tasks like mining, fighting, and building. It leverages the mineflayer ecosystem to provide a highly programmable interface for automation and AI experimentation in Minecraft. Botcraft is particularly useful for AI researchers, game modders, and automation enthusiasts who want to explore pathfinding, environment...

cnn-for-image-retrieval is a research-oriented project that demonstrates the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image retrieval tasks. The repository provides implementations of CNN-based methods to extract feature representations from images and use them for similarity-based retrieval. It focuses on applying deep learning techniques to improve upon traditional handcrafted descriptors by learning features directly from data. The code includes training and evaluation scripts that...

The tinyraycaster project is a compact implementation of a classic raycasting engine inspired by early first-person shooter games, written in a minimal amount of C++ code. It demonstrates how to create a basic 3D environment using 2D grid-based maps and raycasting techniques. The project focuses on teaching the principles behind rendering pseudo-3D scenes, including wall projection, texture mapping, and camera movement. Its simplicity allows developers to understand the entire rendering...

understand-plugin-framework is an educational project that explores how plugin frameworks operate within Android applications. It demonstrates how applications can dynamically load and execute external modules without requiring installation through standard mechanisms. The repository provides examples and explanations of class loading, resource management, and component integration. It is designed to help developers understand the internal architecture of plugin-based systems. The project is...
