Lib0xc is a set of C standard library-adjacent APIs designed to provide safer systems programming. The library aims to reduce the risk of common errors and vulnerabilities associated with systems programming, such as buffer overflows and null pointer dereferences. Lib0xc is intended to be used in conjunction with the C standard library, providing a more secure and reliable alternative to traditional systems programming practices.
Credit cards are vulnerable to brute force kind attacks despite industry standards such as PCI DSS, which regulate the storage and display of sensitive banking data. Even when cards are saved on ecommerce websites that follow PCI DSS, they can still be stolen or derived. This vulnerability arises from the fact that PCI DSS only sets bare minimum security measures, which are often not fully implemented by companies due to the complexity and cost of certification. As a result, sensitive data such as card verification codes and PINs can still be accessed by attackers. A personal experience of the author highlights the issue, where a virtual credit card with 2FA enabled was still compromised despite being used only in well-known merchants.
