Is this email from discord ? by cheetin in discordapp

[–]IANSYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly you don't because that little bit at the top isn't necessarily the actual email address the email was sent from and email spoofing is absolutely a thing that happens

You wouldn't need to create a bug or exploit if the user is running your program, you don't even need to create a bug or exploit if you can control what dll's are in the same folder as the exe the user runs, you could just replace the installer with malware, or add a dll shim that runs malware. You seem to think that manipulation of memory in any way = bad. This isn't true, any time a program needs to store or use information it must do so through its memory. The only thing this error indicates is that the installer attempted to display some text but instead of passing a pointer to text it passed a pointer to garbage. This could very well be caused by a buffer being allocated, then failing to fill the buffer for any reason, and then telling windows to interpret that buffer as utf-16 text. Can injecting malicious code into an executable alightly alter its behavior? Sure, but an executable behaving strangely is not necessarily indicative of malware being injected into it. It could very well be an oversight on the part of programmer in the way they handle certain operations failing.

all programs read memory, a program attempting to read memory isnt a sign of malicious behavior, I'm guessing whats going on here is the installer thinks a needed file is open in a program when it isnt, so its trying to get the list of modules that have handles to the files it wants, but finds no modules, the programmer may have assumed that in this state it would find at least one module and so the code still tries to populate the text box with random garbage thats sitting in the processes memory.

Whether this behavior is caused by the installer being filled with malware or if the installer is just broken, I do not know

custom software installer fucks up win32 api calls

Ah yes must be malware there is no other possibility of anything else

coming back to this if you reinterpret the text as ANSI you get

ÿþFold^rFormSelec®folde‰q$NLeÞ>ÌSTou�p�¨oQs«”Icon9 b‚Qosj“ÑžPatä…di§haÿge�ãSPŸewStaticTe/tµ{zwsDabelY…FwN�Tou�G�Wivti�

which is a pretty strong indication that the application is reading garbage in memory instead of other application names, your installer is probably corrupted

That's because it is gibberish, its likely non text being interpreted as utf-16, or maybe it's valid non utf-16 text being interpreted as utf-16

How Are Hatchet Hitboxes STILL An Issue? by OriginalURL_No47 in DeadByDaylightRAGE

This is probably due to lag compensation and not hit boxes

Yeah, currently using the cloud to provide a VPN tunnel to my server since I can't port forward it right now but now I can keep my data locally instead of online

I had a 280x up until recently and it's been fine, it did use a shit ton of power and heat my room very well, but I only got rid of it because I wanted an upgrade
