People don't talk about parser mismatch vulnerabilities enough, and I'm not sure how many people even know what they are. Which is sad, because they're one of my favorites to exploit when I find them, and they can be super nasty to fix.

Thanks all for the recommendations!

The irony is I _love_ the nexus 6, but the battery and charging port wear out faster than the software, and end up very difficult and expensive to replace
Software developer, tech tinkerer, and chaotic good.
"Limited" on twitter.
Also, just to piss off the pronoun-phobic: he/him
