Beautiful work to share.

What I really love is the stack trace of reasoning, that's very pedagogical, and that you either worked out lots of things from first principles or felt the need to explain them is if from naive perspective.

Also, while impractical for real world networking I don't think this is just idle play. What with backdoors turning up in over-complex network network chips you may find a more serious readership/project motive in the future.

I do wonder how many exploits are hidden in modern day silicon, i mean we find exploits almost daily in code of a few thousand lines of code, meanwhile we've got microchips that are basically the equivalent of billions of lines of code in hardcoded silicon
