Comment on BareMetal OS: A 64-bit Operating System in only 16KiBparent

Comments

FWIW, I found a local privilege escalation vulnerability (arguably just a bug allowing apps to trash the kernel, since it's single-user anyway) in Menuet32, and I'm not optimistic about the network stack. I would have expected ping of death to work, but it doesn't even seem to support IP packet fragmentation.

These throwback OSes are cute, but there would be hell to pay if they ever took off.
