Making malware in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Sweet - I didn't realize that malware is tailored for one OS usually, but that makes a lot more sense.

Making malware (programming.dev)
 

This is going to sound fishy.

Recently getting into cybersecurity things and have been pretty interested in looking at malware and maybe making some myself to get the hang of it. Do you guys know any good repositories with malware to learn from? For example, if I wanted to make a credential stealing program, there's a lot of different programs that may have credentials that are valuable. Or, maybe writing a keylogger? I took a look at a rust crate that can record keystrokes but has kind of a weird (or at least not as easy) type system because of different OS implementations, but how do different types of malware consolidate those differences?

I guess the broader question I'm getting at specifically is looking at how already made programs get around different technical obstacles like detailed above.

Thanks

Good Computer Handbooks (programming.dev)
 

I went to my local library today and noticed there's a lot of networking, cybersecurity, tcp/ip books from the early 2000s. Now, I want more modern versions of these types of handbooks. Does anyone know any good modern handbooks that deal with networking or network security standards?

Thanks :)

This is why it's not mainstream in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why do the tech heads show why it won't be adopted mainstream any time soon?

Linux doesn't always work. We know that. But it looks like you're misconstruing your specific issue with some broader argument for Linux being mainstream. The fact that you connected it to a switch tells me that youre already more advanced than the average user. I get you're annoyed, but you can also just ask about your specific issue.

Why I Prefer Exceptions to Error Values in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago

The article made a few good points, but a good amount of it was conjecture. I liked the part about comparing the two functions and showing that exceptions are faster but I think a big thing he's not getting is readability. Even in the functions he showed, you can directly see that the one using std::expected has the happy path and error path directly in the function signature, whereas the exception one doesn't.

As for the "error kind" trap he was talking about, that definitely exists, but ignores the fact that you can also get this same kind of error from exceptions. I've definitely gotten exceptions that I didn't understand from Python or Java libraries, but it's not a problem with exceptions but a problem with how they're shown. If there's nothing to tell me that I should have thought of that error, it shouldn't be an expectation for a dev to have thought of it.

I think most use who use keepass instead of bitwarden do so because keepass is offline, unlike bitwarden. At least that's what I understand.

Car Privacy is Shit (programming.dev)
 

I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

Users of Vim and similars, what exactly makes it useful compared to other text editors? How much time do you suppose you save when working with it? in c/ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev
[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Nah I don't have any more examples cuz I haven't been using vim for like 30 years. I think the other comments make good points tho

Linux Server OSes? (programming.dev)
 

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

Learning to back up my messages (programming.dev)
 

I've been looking around to find a good, privacy respecting way to sync my messages between phones. I decided I'm going to use SyncThing so I don't have to mess around with a server. The only problem with this is that I haven't been able to find any apps that work on modern Android that routinely backup and import messages from a file/folder into the messages database. Does anyone know any app that might do this?

I've got a domain but whats next? (programming.dev)
 

I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

Best fuzzing tool (programming.dev)
 

I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/
