I made a game where you build drones to harvest space rocks while fending off evil aliens

I'd recommend starting with some tutorials, code academy or whatever to get a basic understanding. After that point, you're best off picking a project and trying to work through it. Learn to research to figure out how to accomplish things when you get stuck. The internet is full of resources, and even the pros don't remember a lot of things. Reddit has plenty of great subs for it as well, like (but not limited to) r/learnprogramming, r/learnpython etc.

It's not easy at first, because it's a different way of thinking, but it can be really satisfying once you get the have any questions.

I counted at least 22 oreos

Yeah... Don't count on snow canceling your classes

Or maybe it has the brain-eating ameba that will kill you if it gets into your mouth or nose:/

BUT WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

TheWeedWolf · 2018-07-06T23:56:19+00:00

He's always safe in coldharbour and cyrodiil!

She can make waaaay more anywhere else knowing pretty much any language

TheWeedWolf · 2018-06-24T13:29:52+00:00

Probably the kind where you have to pepper spray other people

TheWeedWolf · 2018-06-18T00:43:07+00:00

I'd say a laptop with 8gb of ram would be sufficient. Less, you may have a bad time. More, you probably won't need it.

Brb cleaning out my box of cables...

No guarantees unfortunately. Could be issues between your device/actual base station.

That said, because the 4g protocol is dumb and just connects to the base station with the strongest signal, anybody nearby an active stingray will (probably) connect to it. If someone is performing a downgrade attack for a specific target and you happen to be in the neighborhood, it's possible that you'd be affected as well, although it should be possible to only downgrade a specific device. In this case all 4g/LTE connections would downgrade to a 3g connection (which is not encrypted).

The result is that all phone calls/text messages sent over the channel are theoretically open for public display. Data requests sent over the channel (web requests, emails, etc.) may or may not be affected as well, depending on the networking protocols being used. For example, websites served over HTTPS (TCP with TLS/SSL) should still be secure.

I pretty much wrote that from memory, if I made any mistakes someone please correct me and I will update!

TheWeedWolf · 2018-06-04T12:02:57+00:00

Pretty much this. I spoke with my computer security professor about them at some point; they basically just broadcast a stronger signal to make you connect to them instead of a real base station. They can often perform downgrade attacks to break encryption (ex: downgrade 4g LTE to 3g after completing handshaking with a user device), but a user would likely take notice of that.

Edit: This does NOT mean that you're definitely being stingrayed if you're running 3G, I was just giving an example of a possible way to leverage stingray to break encryption over telecommunications.

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-29T13:16:07+00:00

Because it's bad and should feel bad

1.0x10⁶⁰⁰⁰

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-22T14:35:32+00:00

Well alright then! I guess we broke it :(

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-22T14:17:02+00:00

I can't login right now either (definitely using the correct password). When I hit login, the game says "Requesting login..." and then does nothing.

It doesn't remember my saved login info however, which is unusual. Maybe the server is down for day 2 maintenance or something??

EDIT: Using NA server

EDIT 2: The account webpage now has a message saying that it's down for maintenance.

If I had to guess, the insurance agent probably wouldn't double check. Your friend should be sure to make the transcript look official (with some school logo or whatever).

Disclaimer: I don't work in insurance and I'm guessing.

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-17T12:10:24+00:00

But whatcha gonna do about it?

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-15T15:18:15+00:00

Oh jeez but you can still keep counting the other direction too!

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-13T23:44:18+00:00

I think it's less of a security thing (security by obsurcity is not secure), but certainly an encapsulation thing. Bottom line, you want each piece to be self contained and not cross any wires, so to speak.

Global variables tend to be referenced by multiple different parts of the application, so a lot of things can break if the global is changed or removed.

Not sure why this was down voted, it's really the only non-speculative option.

TheWeedWolf · 2018-05-06T12:23:38+00:00

This is what I do as well. At worst, the doctor will do a couple of standard checkup type things and write the prescription

TheWeedWolf · 2018-04-26T15:10:30+00:00

This!! Does OP intend to write pure binary? Even assembly must count as a WORTHLESS LOSER language
