every single one of the claims made against trump is completely unverifiable, and buzzfeed believes that journalism means publishing every claim so that the american people can figure out what's real and what's not by themselves. everything in those highlighted printouts is bullshit, and you would be a humongous gullible idiot for taking any of those claims seriously.

You see, it's unhackable, because the hacker would have to go through a few minutes extra of work to hack it. Nobody's ever wasted a bunch of time to do something pointless and funny on the internet.

Does it specify the method? If not, time to just XOR all the things!

I assume it says something like "industry standard encryption," so that means they can get away with 3DES.

denuvo does actually work if integrated properly, by virtue of being a cryptographic virtual machine running essential parts of the game engine. just cause 3 still hasn't been cracked and that's a year old at this point

probably more because of the heavily integrated always online bullshit

how do you think they "heavily integrate" it, if not the "cryptographic virtual machine"

I mean the online features in every aspect of the game that do nothing to improve it but somehow justify a constant connection to a central server.

why are slot machines using PRNGs at all - just have a microphone, a temperature sensor or some optical sensor - the lower bits should provide entropy enough for the system, it's not like it needs more than a few byts of RNG for every spin anyway

if you're really paranoid, just throw the RNG module into a centralized server or something, the slot machines are probably networked anyway

I'm shocked any gambling commission would ever authorize a slot machine that uses any form of PRNG

i'm like 75% sure that most of the time, outside sources of entropy like that are still run into a PRNG and that's used for whatever random numbers the system needs.

every registrar i've used lets you hide your info from whois, though it usually costs a bit extra. 'course, you can always fill out fake info, because nobody verifies it.

how would a wireless device specifically require skin contact to reprogram anyway? even if it only picks up signals from at most a foot away, that's a big difference from actually requiring skin contact

ymgve posted:

edit: Reading the article, it seems like programmers already do something like this - requires skin contact programming to read a device key which is then used for wireless programming.

None of these will work. At the bare minimum, older MFP's leave their serial number almost invisibly on any copy, print, or scan. Newer copiers, and certainly anything the government is using(we are their main supplier), have much more information especially since you are required to use PIV to log into each machine.

so why wouldn't OCR work? how would the serial number make it into the OCR'd text?

OCR(at least the native OCR in a copier) doesn't remove all other images, it just makes a text layer in the PDF. If you are talking about after printing the document, you run it though another piece of equipment just to extract the text, that would work. Or perhaps extracting the text layer of an OCR'ed document? Never done that, dunno if it is possible.

i took the post to be a series of steps. you scan the paper, ocr it using all sorts of wonderful software we have today on personal computers, and don't share the originals.
