@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space You have inadvertently invented the worst programming language ever. Also the best. I don't even. All praise the @gloriouscow.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space I get 150 bytes from that emoji string (30 four-byte-emojis and 10 three-byte-emojis) and a slightly broken program. But it's already fascinating, that this runs at all.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space There are probably grimoires bound in flayed human skin that are less authentically about symbolic manipulation of the old, dark, gods than this is.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space obviously, you may need to set binary and turn off eol or other special characters in your editor, but this fucking works.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space So now I'm wondering how long before there are CVE notices about emoji based shellcode 😆

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space Really interesting! I wonder what types of polyglot files could be created using only emojis. Kinda like that PoC||GTFO zine (publication 0x17) that was a PDF, a zip archive, and an Apollo Guidance Computer program.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space for anyone else running into issues, it looks like each instance of ♐ is adding 3 extra bytes on my system. Trimming the trailing efb88f following each produces a correctly sized binary. It also needs the following, and a few more options I couldn't find/deduce. startbanner = false showmenu = false

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space when pasting it (whether with `xsel -b > emoji.com` or into `echo -n '...'` or into vim w/ noendofline set), I get a 150 byte file. It aaaalmost works though:

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space Now make one with invisible/whitespace characters only. There's `0D` CR, `0A` LF, `09` tab, `20` space, different-width spaces, zero width modifiers and 256 variation selectors: 16 in the BMP (U+FE0x, or UTF-8 `EF B8 8x`) plus 240 in the E-plane (U+E0100, or `F3 A0 84 80` up to U+E01EF, or `F3 A0 87 AF`).
