About

This is a C port of Theori&#x2F;Xint&#x27;s Copy Fail PoC (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;copy.fail&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;copy.fail&#x2F;</a>, 2026-04-29). The original depended on Python and embedded x86_64 shellcode. I managed to reimplement the shellcode as portable C using nolibc borrowed from the kernel, and now the whole thing can be compiled for &amp; works on any arch supported by nolibc.

AI Score Reasoning

This is a technical proof-of-concept for a security vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431) rather than a commercial startup. While it demonstrates strong low-level engineering skills in C and systems programming, there is no evidence of a business model, market strategy, or intent to build a scalable company.
