is it a good beginner Python project to write a hacking software??

I am currently writing a hacking software in Python (tkinter) that hacks scripts and looks for wireless devices… But it’s fake!! It only pretends to do stuff and has nice graphics but it’s like those websites that pretend you’re hacking. Would that be nice?? And it’s open source too, so it will not harm anyone.

Doing a “hack simulator” would likely be easier in other languages, so you will hopefully run into some problems regarding acquiring and presenting the information, which I imagine would give you a decent understanding of the flow of data in python.

I’d say “Go for it”, doesn’t sound too advanced and not “hello world”-simple either.

I’m too stupid to walk backwards through the 4th one, so I guess I only experience 3.5 dimensions.

Mostly for not loosing unsavable work across transit. Though, Windows has kinda blurred the line between shutdown and standby, so now you can do neither (I guess you can still shutdown properly holding down the shift key while pressing the button, but who thinks about that?).

But standby was indeed much more prevelant when booting your laptop took 2~5min.

ekky43 ,

Yup, that’s the one.

Had quite some problems with programs not cleaning caches properly and drives having weird behavior when accessed in offline state when they first introduced it, though I imagine it surely must have become more robust by now.

ekky43 ,

I’ve encountered a few times where the post or a parent comment got deleted, which also appears to hide any sub-comments.

Might that be it?

ekky43 ,

Haven’t seen that behavior myself yet, but yes, that does sound like either a bug or shadowbanning.

Excuse me for not being able to help.

If Netflix can call an existing series to which they bought the rights a “Netflix Original”, then this dude can host you a free website for 1$+.

ekky43 , (edited )

I was thinking about Knights of Sidonia. They bough the rights while second season was being made, and while I’m not sure whether they also Labelled the first season as Netflix Original, they at least took it down from everywhere and instead put it on their own site.

EDIT: Correction, as far as I can see, they bought the rights a month after the first season finished airing, and they did call the first season a Netflix Origin.

When the second season aired, I got pretty butthurt that I not only couldn’t see the new season on other sites than Netflix, but I couldn’t even see the first season anymore!

Hey hey hey, don’t just go around generalizing. Not all Linux users are like that (but I am, and I use arch BTW).

Like I’m sure we’re bound to find at least ONE Linux user who doesn’t tell.

Quite the contrary, it’s properly structured and leaves no room for misinterpretation, given that the reader can, well, read.

I’m pretty sure almost no nerds use chatgpt, as chatgpt kinda takes the nerdiness out of the nerd.

Script kiddy might fit better, looking at stackoverflow from the past half year.

Lots of buzzwords indeed, author apparently doesn’t even know what a smart sensor is, as they described a regular sensor in their first paragraph.

That said, you can absolutely program analog ICs, such as by using a Field Programmable Gate Array instead of just your regular Gate Array (your usual, ‘stupid’ IC). Though, while a random IC might cost you less than half a dollar, a FPGA will cost you around 100$ for a simple chip.

On the other hand, skipping any GPU or CPU and their limitations by clock speed should speed up the AI considerably, though parallel programming (not concurrent programming, and not multi-core “parallel” programming either) is much harder and comes with almost no safety when compared to serial programming.

ekky43 , (edited )

A CPU is a very complex gate array which handles bothersome tasks such as synchronization (run conditions) and memory access, and presents you with a very limited set of instructions. All serial programming builds upon this very limited set of instructions, and the instructions have been thoroughly tested over the past 6 decades.

Not to say that CPU architecture or microcode is fail-safe, but the chance of your computer blue-screening because of a failure of your CPU is rather small.

Now, parallel programming (the low level variant, not the hijacked definition) is the art of “wiring” those gate arrays. A CPU is actually made using parallel programming, so all the safeties it presents for serial programming will not be present in parallel programming, as parallel programming does not use a CPU.

EDIT: the above is of course simplified, there exist multiple architectures, collected into more common instructions sets such as amd64, armhf, arm64, etc. but even the most barebone processing unit contains a lot of securities and nicities that parallel does not have.

ekky43 , (edited )

I think you are misunderstanding me. Are you perhaps thinking about multithreading or multi core? Because some people have also started calling that “parallel”, even if it is nothing like low-level parallel.

A CPU does not build upon a CPU, a CPU builds upon transistors which are collected into gates, and which can be assembled into the correct order using parallel programming.

EDIT: as an example, you do not actually need a computer to parallel program. Get yourself a box of transistor, some cable, and a soldering iron, and you can build some very rudimentary gate arrays, like a flip-flop.

This link might give a better understanding of our confusion.

EDIT 2: One could perhaps illustrate the confusion which this topic is often victim of as such:

Transistors are part of the hardware and are parallel programmed to form complex gate arrays called “Processors”, which feature instruction sets used by machine code, which is made using assembly, which is called “serial programming”, which enables high-complexity operations such as multi-core “parallel” programming.

I’m talking about the former “PGA parallel programming”, and not the latter “multi-core parallel programming”.

Right, apologies for dumping it down so far, I find it hard to properly gauge the knowledge of others on the internet, and just try and play safe.

I wasn’t aware that one could serial program gate arrays, as, as far as I know, the definition of serial programming is code that is governed by a processor, and which prohibits anything but serial execution of commands. So it’s new to me that gate arrays can run serial code without any governance or serialization process, since gate arrays by themselves are anything but serial. Or rather, you need to synchronize anything and everything that is supposed to be serial by yourself, or use pre-built and pre-synced blocks, I guess.

Anyway, going by the definition that serial programming can only be performed using some kind of governance or synchronizing authority, that alone would be another layer of security.

As serial implies, it rid us, or lessened the burden, of those timing related issues, some of which included:

  • All the problems of accessing in-use resources that multi-cored serial “parallel” programming reintroduced.
  • Making a block and not properly timing it resulting in the clock changing while it’s still flipping gates and produce unexpected behavior.
  • As the above, just generally having to time everything, as having too many clock blocks or sync checks results in unnecessary speed loss, and having too few checks might result in unexpected behavior.
  • Over/underclocking and other slight power and clock variations.
  • Uninitialized gates producing random behavior.
  • And by extension: the power up process not being exactly the same every time, resulting in more unexpected behavior. Very annoying to debug when it looks all right to start with.
  • Reading through seconds of timing diagrams (that’s a lot of reading with a clock time of nano seconds).
  • Block placement and connection problems.
  • Using gate array layouts/code with differing transistor specs.

And the list goes on, but you know.

Serial also has a lot of pitfalls, and you can definitely screw things up bad, but at least you don’t have to think much about clock or timing, or memory placement, unless communicating between devices or cores, and those sync problems tend to be rather tame and simple compared to intra-processor problems.

At least from my experience.

Gel, shampoo, balsam, shaving foam/cream, and roll-on deo from Neutral/Minirisk. Simple, cheap, safe. And the best thing? It doesn’t trigger any allergies.

Though, I do use aftershave from Matas, and oil from ecooking.

I think that covers most of my self-care products.

Right? I’m embarrassed that we still think hydrogen to be more dangerous than gasoline and other fossil fuels.

I mean, hydrogen is dangerous, as are most things, but it likely won’t ever kill 5~10 million people per year from pollution alone.

And regarding airships, hydrogen doesn’t just explode as some like to think, and won’t just plummet In case of fire if sealed in multiple metallic and flame resistant compartments like in modern airships, at least not without a freak accident.

ekky43 ,

Yes, but I’m trying to wean myself off of it. Partly because it feels like destructive behavior, and partly because it must be annoying for others to constantly listen to me cracking my knuckles.

Thank you, but I already know that study.

My problem is, that while it makes a satisfying click noise and temporarily feels good, it also sometimes becomes itchy or perhaps slightly painful afterwards, and I just don’t like that feeling.

ekky43 ,

Your idea makes perfect sense, though I think it’s not only embedded in culture (parenting), but also in our nature as humans.

I’m tempted to say that humans are born curious, and by extension, most humans like to share their knowledge or more often their opinions. I know I do.

… Please do not fuck that.

That is the world we currently live in.

Quite some work left to do to achieve a sociaty with universal basic income, if even the technologies developed for the purpose are twisted and used against it.

And most important, don’t look at your phone or have the TV or computer running in the background. They take focus away from doing nothing.

A wolf, or more specifically our dear little furry eye-gifted Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate.

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?

Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now

ekky43 , (edited )

w/ appears to have origin in the food industry some 70 years ago (according to this question).

To me it makes sense, as I first encountered it in video games where abbreviations, acronyms, and text-saving-slang are commonplace. Furthermore, while abbreviations usually have multiple letters (in written text, not physical or mathematical equations), single letter abbreviations can quickly become confusing, so I belive that this is the reason for putting a slash behind it, or possibly a bar above it.

RANT: While I know that language changes all the time, I find it very unfortunate that this little fellow o/ and possibly his slightly more formal friend o7 have become synonymous with “nazi salute”. First off, it’s the wrong arm! And second off, what do you have against “man waving” and “man saluting”?

It must be very confusing for someone who uses this newer definition of o/ to visit the Elite:Dangerous forums.

EDIT: I’m very happy that I apparently am the only one who has met people who don’t know the real meaning of o/ and o7. I feared that this was a widespread problem, but luckily it appears that I simply am a worrywart.

ekky43 ,

Perhaps (hopefully) i just encountered some folks who just assumed something, and that it’s not actually becoming a trend.

But it should be.

Better technology and more storage should never excuse a lack of optimization.

I’m not up to speed on the optimization levels of mobile Web browsers, but these days you rarely see properly optimized consumer software. Games and websites tend to be the worst offenders, and many mobile apps appear 10x the size you would expect them to be.

They think it’s loss of Arctic sea ice:

Unlike the two previous events, a historic loss of Arctic sea ice could be to blame for the latest gray whale die-off. That’s because sea ice hosts a carpet of algae on its underside, which decays and showers the seabed with food for bottom-dwellers, including the whales’ preferred crustaceans.

“With less ice, you get less algae, which is worse for the gray whale prey,” Stewart said. Melting sea ice also frees up passage for strong currents that sweep away the sediment and leaves bottom-dwelling crustaceans and other creatures homeless. “All of these factors are converging to reduce the quality and availability of the food [gray whales] rely on,” he said.

Climate change might be the reason this mortality event is dragging on for longer than the previous two, Stewart said. “What we’re seeing is much more of a bumpy ride in response to highly variable and rapidly changing ocean conditions,” he said.

Didn’t see that OP had already written a comment with the explanation, please excuse me.

ekky43 ,

As a side note, if you for some reason turn off the central heating entirely and just use space heaters, then the failsafe will do no good.

Most central heating solutions waste some energy when idling, so one might be tempted to turn them off. Please be careful when doing this.

Right, used Google translate and still got it wrong.

The picture is from the day after, the dike did overflow(/flood?) and is now keeping the water in, hence the water on the wrong side.

EDIT: According to Merriam-webster, “dyke” is the British spelling of “dike”, though it can also be a slur in the right context.

No no, they’re on to something.

I guess the emoji were there to set the proper mood, which they succeeded in, as the most horrifying thing about that article definitely was the abhorrent use of emoji.

Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

But this matters little, as the electric car is not made to be the perfect alternative, it is instead made to be the “weird in between solution” that we need to bring as many devices as possible to use a common power source and get people acquainted with the concept, before moving to the actual solution.

The next steps will be better battery technology because, let’s face it, lithium gel batteries suck, and proper power sources.

In the end, I guess it’s kind of a “chicken and egg” situation.

“Programmer” isn’t a protected title, so everyone and their grandma can be a programmer. You don’t even need any actual experience or knowledge on the topic.

Just don’t go around calling yourself a “software engineer” or anything like that, as it’s a protected title and therefore comes with some prestige, but also means that people expect you to have certain skills.

ekky43 , (edited )

Usually you draw this line by “locking” a title behind some kind of education or certification. If someone carries this title, then it must mean that they at least have a basic understanding about x skill.

“Programmer” and “developer” aren’t protected in any meaningful way, and I’m trying to hammer that into my brain, as I did not really see someone who hosts a template Wordpad Wordpress site as a webdev, or a Python scripter as a programmer (scripting is programming, but programming is much more than scripting, so comparing the two doesn’t make much sense to me).

ekky43 , (edited )

Ah, I was wrong. I just checked and it appears that engineer isn’t protected per default (as you stated).

I was thinking about “Civilingeniør” (literal translation would be “civil engineer”, but that is no faithful translation), which everyone who graduates a MSc. in engineering in Denmark receives, and which is at least protected locally.

Thank you for calling me out.

ekky43 ,

Not a dumbass, we all have to start somewhere, and the only way to really fail is to stop trying to improve oneself.

That’s also what in the oh so olden days set apart the script kiddies from the makers. The script kiddies found some readily available tools and boasted about their skill, while the makers tried to dig into the tools to get a better understanding, and ultimately be able to hack together the tools to better fit their needs. Many makers started out as script kiddies.

People nowadays often get introduced to programming in computer games, such as Minecraft’s redstone, and I don’t think that perchance is much different.

Next steps would be to find a programming or scripting language and start learning about common syntaxes and logic, perhaps even make your own generator!
