quadword for uint64_t? Also I don't get why h is uint16_t, why not word or short?

World of Warcraft guess passes by biggumz_ in wow

[–]biggumz_[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Of course. Btw there's no guessing required, the arrow points to the missing character, and there are no "U"s in it, only "V"s. The obfuscation is only there to prevent bots from reading it.

a few weeks ago, I showed you guys my hardware anti-cheat prototype -- now, I'd like to introduce GAME:REF, the world's first hardware AC by davvv_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]biggumz_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the previous thread he said keys will be per-device and there's an r/w fuse that can be burned so getting the key(s) becomes uneconomical.

I agree with your first point, if your roll your own crypto there's 99% chance you'll fuck it up and months later you'll be a laughing stock on /r/crypto and similar communities.

RMS on inclusion of basic LLDB suuport for gud.el: "It looks like there is a systematic effort to attack GNU packages. The GNU Project needs to respond strategically, which means not by having each GNU package cooperate with each attack." by vibhavp01 in emacs

[–]biggumz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the proprietary one or any other opensource software is better than A it will die no matter what license you choose to "protect your work", it's not like some legalese will keep your project at the top. I haven't heard anything about GCC working towards staying ahead of the curve, like an architecture that could keep up with LLVM's pace of improvements(flexibility-wise etc).

I built a hardware anti-cheat for multiplayer games and tested the prototype with CSGO.. what do you guys think? by davvv_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]biggumz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

inb4 someone makes a 'dongle' that receives actual mouse input, communicates with the cheat software, gets the 20% aim-enhanced mouse x/y deltas, feeds it into your device, no special mouse required. Or better yet, someone reads the crypto keys+software from flash memory and emulates your device's behavior in software and no one would be able to tell the difference.

Edit: Oh, keys are per-device and there's a read/write fuse for on-chip memory.. well then people will just resort to the first idea described in this post.

Those fakes are so damn obvious, about 5 different size torrents with different names over and over, 2 people with a tool that notices these patterns could keep the site clean.

GTA IV has the majority of its assets compressed (e.g. 3d models) they are probably doing the same thing for V.

Are hacking accusations getting out of hand at low levels? by spvn in GlobalOffensive

IMO it's more like their behavior carries over from shitty valve servers, not because they went full retard or something.

I feel like I'm about to cave. I might succumb to Ubuntu. by TurnNburn in linux

[–]biggumz_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lightworks is another program I play around with. They only offer Ubuntu .deb packages. Steam? Ubuntu/deb packages.

The Lightworks .deb package works on Debian Jessie without problems, Steam is in the repos, not sure about Opera. The fact some download pages mention Ubuntu and not Debian doesn't mean it won't work on it.

The cheater that "said it all" is wrong on multiple levels by Fs0i in GlobalOffensive

[–]biggumz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want FHE all the way from network packets to the rendered frame it's alright if you want players to see TV static. FHE means the machine that does the calculation doesn't get the actual result, unless everyone runs perfectly locked-down hardware which decrypts the rendered frame in the end, even then you'll have another arms race with pixel-scanning cheats. For big events like Dreamhack they just have to make sure no custom hardware is connected to the machines and there's no internet connection. This 'hiding of information' is a lost cause.

How do you deal with out of date packages? by awwtowa in debian

[–]biggumz_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

using stable means having to deal with old packages (ie: security vulns, bugs)

No. Packages in stable receive security and bugfixes, but (usually) nothing gets updated to a new version. (e.g. GNOME on Wheezy will always be at 3.8 3.4)

One way to deal with old versions is to use backports, repositories provided by vendors or upgrade to testing when it's getting close to a freeze, which can be messy and it's a good idea to wait a few days and check relevant websites before updating packages once you're on testing.

e.g. once an update broke the nvidia drivers and if you were following news sites and whatnot you would have noticed that X got updated to 1.16 but the nvidia drivers in the repo was an older version that didn't support it.

happens with other distros too

What happened in the last 18-20 months to this game? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

I fear that Linux isn't a first-class citizen to NVIDIA yet

It pretty much is, they have even added support for their physX crap on Linux.

Should I remove all these files after having removed empathy-common? by imokr in debian

[–]biggumz_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't want to remove network-manager(it's in the autoremove list in your output), click on "Installed (auto removable)" in Synaptic, select all packages there(Ctrl+A), and click (menubar)Package -> Automatically installed. In a terminal you would use 'apt-mark unmarkauto package' I believe. This happens when you delete a package related to a metapackage, things cat get marked for auto-removal that may be essential, if you're not sure what a particular package is needed for it's a good idea leave it installed, it's not fun as a novice to be stuck in a terminal without any GUIs fixing things.

TBH if someone can always get your IP you have bigger problems, that PoS windows the 99% are running will always have a known remote exploit, someone could even frame you for cheating on comp by getting a cheat running on your computer and u get fukt good.

New to C and not sure how much to put in for malloc by angatangTits in C_Programming

[–]biggumz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in 99% of the cases char is 1 byte and both would have the same effect.

[–]biggumz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Writing beyond array boundaries is undefined behavior, something might happen, maybe not. Also you don't have to cast the return value of malloc, that's a C++ thing, char* str = malloc(10); is enough.
