Let's Learn C Together, Imageboard Style Anonymous 05/02/2022 (Mon) 02:31:22 No. 8314 [Reply] [Last]

So I'm recently getting back into writing code again after a multi-year break. I used to be pretty proficient at BASIC and Visual Basic, BASH scripting, and I dabbled in Perl and PHP. Recently I've decided I want to learn C and git gud at it, but going through lessons and tutorials alone is boring when you have no feedback. There's already a dedicated programming thread, but I think there's enough here to warrant a standalone thread where we go through things together. We'll be using two resources. >C: How to Program - an in-depth textbook >The C Programming Language - long considered the beginner's bible for C >Why bother with C when C++ is a thing? C++ is basically object-oriented C, or C with classes. While C++ is a very useful language C is often more immediately applicable to simple, no-bullshit programs that do useful things. C is simpler, with less weeds to get lost in and is thus quicker to learn. And if you are good at C, then it's just a short hop to learning C++. We learn C to walk before we run. Since I'm a newbie too I'll post useful things I learn and code examples I write ITT for anons to play with, and explain the things I learn both for your benefit and to help me remember them better. If you want to join me, start off by reading The C Programming Language cover-to-cover. If something seems confusing, cross reference it in C: How to Program for a different perspective. Here we go.

>>8501 >char user_input[1800] = {}; That's retarded. Either initialize it to some explicit value or leave it uninitialized. If you compile with -Wpedantic you'll see:

trash.c:10:25: warning: ISO C forbids empty initializer braces [-Wpedantic]
   10 | char user_input[1800] = {};
      |                         ^

The reason it misbehaves if you don't initialize the array is because you're ignoring the end of string null character that fgets puts there so you move on to the uninitialized territory (which is technically undefined behavior). Just test whether the current array position contains the '\0' and stop printing there, or even better, catch the strlen() return from earlier and just print until strlen()-1. Also get the syntax right already you dumb nigger, that's a part of learning too and submissions like this would not be accepted anywhere. Having retarded syntax is why >>8477 is difficult to detect, but that guy made it on purpose to be clever and you're doing it because you're a nigger.

Taking it one more step tonight. Using XOR on the input and key to generate an actual cipher, and then testing reversing the XOR operation, using the key, to recover the user_input value. And it works!

Spurious native interrupt Anonymous 05/15/2022 (Sun) 16:21:30 No. 8449 [Reply]

When my computer is not connected to the internet, even though I formatted, changed the bios software and changed the hard disk firmware, the program opens by itself and the mouse cursor moves by itself. When I examine with the Wireshark program, an interrupt signal comes from the usb ports even though the device is not plugged into the usb ports. In this case, I am complaining. Logs are attached.

Connect to Tor Anonymous 05/10/2022 (Tue) 14:22:14 No. 8395 [Reply]

What is the safest way to connect to the Tor-Network? Is this the safest possible way: Tails (VM) -> VPN -> Bridge -> Tor-Network

3 posts omitted.

Anonymous 05/19/2022 (Thu) 10:15:02 No. 8471

>>8395 You seem inexperienced with anonymizing software, I will give you some advice. Connect to Tor before anything else. If you wish to obfuscate your Tor connections, use Tor bridges, don't connect to a VPN before Tor. Do not listen to the dunces telling you to connect to a VPN before Tor newfriend, by relaying your connection through another proxy before Tor you are routing your traffic through their servers before Tor, this is idiotic as that traffic can and inevitably will be linked to you. These services are not trustworthy, nor is Tor, Tor is a damn sight better than any VPN service. By using Tor to mask your IP address you are allowing yourself to hide among the countless other people using the Tor network, this is just one of the many reasons Tor is superior to normal proxies. If you must connect to proxies, chain said proxies to the end of your Tor circuit, never before. Why are you running Tails in a VM? Just use Whonix, Whonix outclasses Tails, Whonix can be run live just like Tails. There is no need to use Tails anymore, use Whonix. I would recommend running Whonix KVM to avoid Virtualbox, however it almost certainly makes no difference at all as regular Whonix is KVM, Virtualbox just acts as a paravirtualizer interface. Are you using Windows with Tails in vmware? It tends to be windowsniggers running Tails in vmware.

Anonymous 05/20/2022 (Fri) 11:26:47 No. 8481

>>8436 You wouldn't. By connecting to a proxy before Tor you are undoing the entire purpose of using Tor: hiding among the millions of people using the Tor network. >>8470 >Because some nodes are compromised and expose your IP when in clearnet Your VPN is compromised. There has never been a privacy respecting VPN service. You can never know a VPN provider is not logging your traffic or spying on you. Tor has a far better track record than any VPN service, where are all of the people being arrested through the Tor network for crimes? Zero. Not a single one, only people who made operational security errors (like connecting to a honeypot proxy before Tor). IP leaks have rarely happened to people who used Tor properly, those vulnerabilities were also patched long ago so I don't know why people keep harping on about it. VPNs can also leak your IP, they are far more likely to leak your IP than Tor. People at risk of IP leakage now are tor users with janky configurations, and they still have a very low chance of leaking their IP. The chance is there, they should check their IP regularly to ensure it is not leaking. Everyone should do that.

Anonymous 05/24/2022 (Tue) 00:35:02 No. 8508

>>8436 Tor relies on encryption. Encryption relies on relatively slow brute forcing. If computers improve significantly in your lifetime then you are vulnerable to anyone who can grab your traffic. Governments of the world have already claimed they grab all encrypted traffic and likely have vast processing power.

Hydrus Network General #4 Anonymous Board volunteer 04/16/2022 (Sat) 17:14:57 No. 8151 [Reply] [Last]

This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. Advanced users can share tags and files anonymously through custom servers that any user may run. Everything is free, privacy is the first concern, and the source code is included with the release. Releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. I am the hydrus developer. I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. Past hydrus imageboard discussion, and these generals as they hit the post limit, are being archived at >>>/hydrus/ .

A place to shill for your favorite browsers & addons. Learn how to protect yourself from the botnet. What are your favorite addons and browsing tricks to protect your privacy? Share them here so we can all be a little safer. Browsers Chrome Chrome is somehow still in the lead due to sheer momentum, despite even the dumbest lusers cracking jokes about memory usage. Google has continued to abuse their position as the largest website and browser to force non-standards compliant changes to the way rendering works, generally to their benefit. Should be avoided at all costs. They track everything you do in some way. Chromium Even "de-Google'd" it still phones home and tracks your every move. Plus it gives them market share to bully smaller browsers and websites into complying with their standards. Avoid. Firefox Mozilla is pretty cucked and it's running on Rust these days, but it's a decent compromise between the modernity of Chrome and the standards compliance of something like Pale Moon. It's the closest you can get to a proper browser that's also updated regularly. Addons are worse now that they use Google's "web extensions" API, which is a downgrade from the Mozilla API and no more secure. But the whole "Quantum" thing has it flying, and they are better about standards compliance than Chrome is, and usually only break away because Chrome gives them no choice. Pale Moon The Gentooman's preferred choice, although some sites just don't play nice with it anymore. The last real holdout of old Gecko rendering. Has a diverse ecosystem, but it's basically the remnants of Firefox from yesteryear repackaged. Not bad if you can stand many sites not playing nice.
