Inspired by my earlier accidental discovery that a FreeNAS 11.2 ISO written to a USB drive with Rufus will cause Windows 7 to BSOD, I got to wondering how well modern operating systems handle malformed filesystems. Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD all fail.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3MeifE2oFw …

What sort of corruption depends on the OS and filesystem. FreeBSD will panic if just about anything is wrong. macOS on the other hand took a bit more work to get it to crash.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Let me rephrase: are you willing to share the details of the malformed filesystem image you created?

I have slides up about the testing technique here: https://resources.sei.cmu.edu/asset_files/Presentation/2019_017_001_551454.pdf … I haven't (yet?) released any panic-causing filesystems publicly.
