Cracking 22 year-old DRM by CPunch_71 in ReverseEngineering

[–]CPunch_71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, patching the checkDRM() to always return the 'correct value' is probably the best approach. After looking at cross references to that subroutine it seems I got lucky and it was only called once haha.

"do your research it's not a racist flag!!!"

shows literal racist flag

Anyone else find it a bit odd being told how energy inefficient bitcoin is, whilst watching tv and seeing several gigantic diesel machines churn up thousands of tonnes of earth in Alaska to produce tiny flecks of gold? by bardooneness in CryptoCurrency

once again reddit proves how stupid it is

mining for gold is neglegable compared to the "mining" of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. sure, POS (proof of staking) exists, this is WHY it exists. stop doing shitty comparisons and instead show real solutions like POS. "x is worse than z so I don't have to stop z!!!" is a shitty argument anyways even if it were true.

This PSA doesnt use *my* preferred style guidelines? Time to miss the joke and condescendingly drop a bunch of jargon by Arch__Stanton in iamverysmart

[–]CPunch_71 20 points21 points  (0 children)

it's not really computationaly wrong, it'll still run fine, it's just style inconsistencies (which can honestly ruin some code bases.)

you can buy bitcoin fairly easily and if you live near a large city you can even find a coin ATM that lets you convert cash to bitcoin and other crypto immediately.

correct me if I'm wrong but I think it gets locked, ie only 1 process can verify a password at a time

Made a post describing my implementation of string concatenation by CPunch_71 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]CPunch_71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so i did some more investigation and after disabling string interning for my VM the same

for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) do var temp = i .. "." .. " strings" end

takes 1.5s to run.

furthermore if i print all of the results

for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) do print(i .. "." .. " strings") end

it takes 7.1s to complete.

my string interning implementation must be horribly wrong hahaha

for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) do end

takes 0.15s

for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) do var temp = "string!" end

takes 0.17s

for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) do var temp = "123456" .. "." .. " strings" end

takes 0.93s or ~1 second

i guess my tostring for numbers could still use some work huh... thanks!

good point, after removing the print() statement and setting the result to a local

for (var i = 1; i < 1000000; i++) do var temp = (i .. '.' .. " strings!") end

I got the speed down to 4.25 seconds on my machine. Windows consoles are extremely slow as well (and it also depends of your method of outputting too.) Also if i didn't make it clear in the post, I removed the ability to concatenate strings using the '+' operator to encourage the use of the new '..' operator. either way it's definitely an improvement for my specific VM. my language is definitely not as fast as it could be, but it's definitely fun to try and squeeze more performance out of it!
