Session
Jacques Derrida’s philosophy of hauntology shows that the ghosts of the past always return to life. We explore this concept through FORTH, an ancient programming language from the 1970s. By injecting a minimalist FORTH compiler into just 5KB of shellcode, attackers can operate on the lowest architectural floor. This talk serves as a spooky reminder that our most advanced systems are still governed by the very ghosts we thought we buried.
