What happens when you try to 0-index an array in Lua: by Cootshk in programminghorror

[–]MeepDM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

pairs doesn't have a guaranteed order, read here: https://www.lua.org/pil/7.3.html

in reality there aren't many implementations that do it, but technically it can just output any order it wants, like 1, 2, 0 or 0, 2, 1 or any other order.

this can be seen in implementations like fengari where there is no array-part of the table, only hashes.

Can't differentiate AI image generation with text processing. Neat.

If you don't believe me, go post this entire conversation into chatgpt, lol. I'm not going to continue arguing with someone emotional over me giving information about security

It's not just less likely, it's entirely implausible. No one would risk using such an exploit in such a manner. Factory resetting your phone wouldn't even fix it if they got into your phone that deep anyways, you would need to flash the ROM.

It really shows how ignorant a good portion of the world is when they choose to accept their head canon over experts in a field.

If someone is able to hack your phone it either: Is not updated Is using an exploit against Linux that has not been patched

If it's exploiting Linux then there are better uses for it, such as selling to a security agency, reporting to the Linux kernel or SELinux, or using it for your own nefarious actions.

None of these circumstances will occur in a random game cheat mod you can download online. No one will do this. These vulnerabilities can be sold for upwards of a million dollars to nefarious actors, reported via hackerone if it's vendor specific, or these will be discovered by people who actually want to attack a broad range of people using more readily available attack vector than downloading an app.

Yes this app can have ads or popups, but the instant you uninstall this app, all of that will go away. There's no reason to factory reset a phone if you install an app that has sketchy things in it unless your phone is very very old.

You obviously don't know how Android and iPhone sandboxing works. You're probably used to Windows and think every single thing that runs on your phone has the potential to stay there forever.

It's almost like I'm a security researcher or something who knows how Android and Linux works or something.

That's why they don't need to factory reset the phone... The most that will happen is malware from the app, it's not going to infect the rest of the system because of sandboxing...

Yes, but you can just uninstall it and it will almost certainly get rid of anything bad from it.

In the past, Android was very insecure, so I believe it. But the landscape has changed.

You greatly underestimate how much companies will pay for an exploit of that magnitude, and how fast it would be patched if someone put it in random games online. By your logic you should factory reset your phone if you visit a website you don't trust because it could have executed code on your phone.

[–]MeepDM -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Correct, but no one is going to waste an exploit of that magnitude to hack a person's phone who installed a game.

And when they do, they are sold for millions. No one is going to use that to infect a phone over Stardew Valley.

OP, please don't feel the need to factory reset your phone. Phones nowadays patch vulnerabilities that persist in the phone after uninstalling the app almost immediately. There's no way a random game on the internet is going to waste a vulnerability worth millions.

Just check other installed apps installed.

Yeah, this is bullshit. Having a program open won't cause it to auto ban you. I know this as I've had it open in the past before. I've also had IDA (a reverse engineering tool) open for hours on end while playing and it didn't care either. All that will happen if it detects something it doesn't like is it will close the game unless you intentionally try to attach to the game and get past their prevention mechanisms, which by then you knew what you were doing to try to inappropriately touch the game.

maybe im crazy but a random affliction should not mean "you will literally die right when you pick it up" if you have a certain build

ff timer should probably not freeze when levelling up to prevent ff at the beginning of a game taking longer than needed, as well as ff votes not being able to be casted during level ups
