  • This is a good one. We get standard phishing tests which make no sense. It is usually a person I don’t know, from a company I haven’t heard of asking me to edit/review a file they share. People who design these tests should know that people do NOT jump into the opportunity of editing/reviewing files or receiving tasks. I imagine real phishing attacks must be smarter than this.






  • In this article RTL refers to register transfer level. It is a way of describing hardware on very low level, it uses registers for memory (which usually translates to flip-flops when/if synthesized), wires, basic arithmetic and logic operations, but terminology may slightly change based on which rtl language is being used. It can be used to design a CPU, or any ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) chip. Instructions may resemble to processor instructions, but the end result is fundamentally different. You may run a set of instructions on a processor, while what rtl describes is often synthesized and becomes the hardware itself which performs the operations (e.g. arithmetic logic unit in the cpu).
