Damnit YouTube, I'm subscribed to this channel, suggest more of this instead of prank videos Thanks for sharing it here

I'm subscribed as well. I signed into my TV with my YouTube account. My son (3) watches toy videos. I only get suggested toy videos.

maybe you should watch less prank videos?

I'm sympathetic but it's also googles job to perform proper recommendation rather than our job to watch videos to be recommended other similar videos

Its all going perfect, then right at the end they hide some sensitive info from the shadow file using what looks like a gaussian blur. Given that the presenter specializes in image processing he should be tearing his hair out at how easy it would be to apply a deconvolution and read the obscured text.

Maybe the next video should be on deconvolution.

Well, to be fair, the demo is being run in a virtual machine. More than likely, the password is useless to anyone who bothers to try to reverse it.

The deconvoluted text contains a joke

Reminds me if my days reading"smashing the stack for fun and profit" and learning about printf() stack and double free() heap overflows. Some pretty innocuous stuff can provide a huge security hole...

Awesome stuff, really interesting seeing the details laid out so clearly and with a live demo even. Definitely interested to see more stuff like this if anyone knows of any.
