I don't really follow NFL streams but if it's anything like college streams, they've been super cracking down on them, even the ones with risky links and still ask for flash player, because HTML5 doesn't exist.

the good ones are all literally using the official cdn feed with some kind of special sauce to fake the required headers. espn is different but it's this way for nhl/nfl/nba. with the nhl the illegal streaming got like 15mbit 60fps before the official streaming UI did

Have you looked into recruiters to accompany your search? It can be a hassle at times because they push jobs they want to push and may not necessarily be a great fit but it doesn't hurt to have a few more people looking for you.

A good recruiter is worth their weight in gold. I�m on my second day of a job that was brought to me by a recruiter I had been working with. Not one of those random guys who hits you up on LinkedIn with a job and then you never hear from them again, but a serious recruiter who was dead set on finding a good fit for me. I basically played video games all day and went on interviews that he set up for me. It was the best job search ever.

Absolutely. The problem is there are so many money hungry recruiters that just want to push candidates at customers without fitting experience/culture/needs etc. that it seriously muddies the water. You are correct though, when you find a good one hold on tightly and do not let them go!

I once had a really bad recruiter. She only wanted me to take this 1 job, who gaslighted me when I said the money offer was insulting (during the interview, the guy asked for how much I wanted, i said my amount, he said ok, then the offer was 10k less than that), and said I had to accept the job within a day. She asked me where else I had applied, I gave her some ideas, then she was like "oh I heard that's a bad place to work..."

Glad I didn't take that job. As soon as I said no to the offer, I never heard from her again.

Also my phone attempted to autocorrect Bannon into Gannon, which made me think of this:

https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/327:_Exploits_of_a_Mom

quote:

Mrs. Roberts receives a call from her son's school. The caller, likely one of the school's administrators, asks if she really named her son Robert'); DROP TABLE students;--, a rather unusual name.[citation needed] Perhaps surprisingly, Mrs. Roberts responds in the affirmative, claiming that she uses the nickname "Little Bobby Tables". As the full name is read into the school's system's databases without data sanitization, it causes the "Students" table in the database to be deleted.

The title of this comic is a pun. Exploit can mean an accomplishment or heroic deed, but in computer science the term refers to a program or technique that takes advantage of a vulnerability in other software. In fact, one could say that her exploit is to exploit an exploit (her achievement is to make use of a vulnerability). The title can also refer to her choice of name for her son, which is rather extraordinary.

In SQL, a database programming language, commands are separated by semicolons ;, and strings of text are often delimited using single quotes '. Parts of commands may also be enclosed in parentheses ( and ). Data entries are stored as "rows" within named "tables" of similar items (e.g., Students). The command to delete an entire table (and thus every row of data in that table) is DROP TABLE, as in DROP TABLE Students;.

The exploited vulnerability here is that the single quote in the name input was not correctly "escaped" by the software. That is, if a student's name did indeed contain a quote mark, it should have been parsed as one of the characters making up the text string and not as the marker to close the string, which it erroneously was. Lack of careful parsing is a common SQL vulnerability; this type of exploit is referred to as SQL injection. Mrs. Roberts thus reminds the school to make sure they have added data filtering code to prevent code injection exploits in the future.

For example, to add information about Elaine to a data table called 'Students' the SQL query could be:
INSERT INTO Students (firstname) VALUES ('Elaine');

However, using the odd name Robert');DROP TABLE Students;-- where we used "Elaine" above, the SQL query becomes:
INSERT INTO Students (firstname) VALUES ('Robert');DROP TABLE Students;-- ');

By insertion of the two semi-colons in the odd name, this is now three well-formed SQL commands:
INSERT INTO Students (firstname) VALUES ('Robert');

DROP TABLE Students;

-- ');

The first line is valid SQL code that will legitimately insert data about a student named Robert.

The second line is valid injected SQL code that will delete the whole Student data table from the database.

The third line is a valid code comment ( -- denotes a comment), which will be ignored by the SQL server.

For this to work, it helps to know the structure of the database. But it's quite a good guess that a school's student management database might have a table named Students.

Of course, in real life, most exploits of this kind would be performed not by socially engineering a person's name such that it would eventually be entered into a school database query, but rather by accessing some kind of input system (such as a website's login screen or search interface) and guessing various combinations by trial and error until something works, perhaps by first trying to inject the SHOW TABLES; command to see how the database is structured.

To correctly and harmlessly include the odd name in the Students table in the school database the correct SQL is:
INSERT INTO Students (firstname) VALUES ('Robert\');DROP TABLE Students;-- ');

Note that the single quote after Robert is now sanitized by a backslash, which changes it from malicious code to harmless data, and the full first 'name' of the student Robert';DROP TABLE Students;-- is now stored correctly.

It should be noted that, while data sanitization can mitigate the risks of SQL injection, the proper prevention technique is to use Prepared statements.
