Q: How to use proxies on programs?

user3146888My router blocks all connections that include the word "game" in the URL of the traffic, and I would like to play a game which is an external program. Browser proxies won't work. Is there a way to get around the filter? By the way, the game is called Strife.

If the close votes are tied, all the tied reasons get displayed.
Or, at least it works for 2-2-1 tie-ups. Would be interesting to see what it might do with a 1-1-1-1-1 tie-up.

@tylerl Hahaha, at least you got the upvotes you deserve. :)
@RоryMcCune I picked up the 840 Evo. Nice and cheap.
 
@RоryMcCune WHOA THERE THAT'S OFFENSIVE
 
3:18 AM
@Simon So's your face.

xD
 
7:32 AM
@Simon sorry you're right, you're not a nerd your a "Nurdz" (better?)
morning
@TerryChia be interested to hear how you get on with the evo's . They are cheaper so if the perf/reliability is ok would make sense..
 
I was about to reopen that DVWA homework question - I'm not sure it should have been closed in the first place - but his latest revision comment just rubbed me the wrong way.
> some peoples just need a high five in the face
 
@RоryMcCune Will let you know how it goes once I have that added.
The reviews for it looks pretty decent though.
 
9:04 AM
morning gents
@AviD linkie?
 
@LucasKauffman Morning llama.
 
'sup @Terry?
 
morning @LucasKauffman
 
@LucasKauffman Nothing much. Catching up on Breaking Bad.
 
@RоryMcCune what's up RoryM
@TerryChia loved that show
 
9:08 AM
@LucasKauffman not much just starting a quick external (and the smeggers have got an unannounced IPS on one of the boxes)
 
@RоryMcCune I hate that
 
@LucasKauffman yeah I'm fine with IPS if that's part of the scope, but when it's not and you ask to be whitelisted.. ah well
 
@RоryMcCune Maybe they didn't know it was there. ;)
 
^this
 
@TerryChia it's probable in this case, it's a box managed by a 3rd party, so quite likely our customer doesn't know..
 
9:17 AM
@RоryMcCune @CodesInChaos @Thomas A while ago we had some discussion about CC numbers search space. This answer brings up a very interesting approach. security.stackexchange.com/questions/52852/…
 
@Adnan interesting..
 
high-fives @AviD
 
@Adnan in the face
 
and again downvotes without explanation
 
9:29 AM
@AviD with a chair
 
@TerryChia from Louis XVI
Arqade has the best questions ever, especially if you ignore the context this is in a game.

Q: Al Gore won't leave me alone. How do I unfriend someone on Facebook?

LessPop_MoreFizzIn exploring South Park, I met a somewhat curious older gentleman hiding in he bushes over behind the movie theatre. It turns out that gentleman was former Vice President Al Gore. He promptly became my Facebook friend, and asked me to help him place some fancy science equipment around town. Afte...

 
@AviD the stick of truth does looks pretty cool. There's a PewDiePie walkthtrough on Youtube..
 
yeah I'm looking at it now. But I just meant that sometimes the questions there read like real life questions, just really absurd.
 
9:49 AM
@AviD yeah some of the comments are ... interesting too
Haha, this is indeed super cheating :p. Anyway i'm playing on the pc too, and I haven't had much trouble with it. The last anal probe was indeed somewhat hard, but I mashed through it :p — Lyrion 2 hours ago
 
damn anal probes.
 
That game looks like a click bait generator
 
@CodesInChaos yep, just look at the question list for that tag
 
inorite? some of those could be real questions.
some on money.se, some on parenting.se.....
 
10:05 AM
morning
 
I have a proper Friday feeling going on
I might just pretend to be sick and go someplace else
hmmm
 
@kalina A good morning to you too.
 
10:22 AM
\o/
 
\o/
are these people drowning?
or waving...
 
@RoryAlsop Since it's coming from @kalina, probably both.
 
...it's "wooohooo" arms in air
 
\o/
~~
I guess that would be drowning?
 
very good
 
10:36 AM
~\o/~
that would be better, I think
 
@AviD That's 2nd stage probably.
 
well, yours look like hes jumping in.
 
@TerryChia Nah, drowning isn't her style.
 
10:49 AM
@FEichinger :-)
 
right, time to raise 100 flags on Infosec
 
@RоryMcCune @Adnan I decided to use GitHub pages for my blog after all. Thanks for the suggestion!
 
@TerryChia coolio, I started one to try out octopress, here raesene.github.io
after a little hiccup with git versioning, seemed to be easy enough to do
 
11:22 AM
@RоryMcCune A custom domain is next. ;)
 
@TerryChia maybe this summer I'll get time to sort out proper web code. Till then - well, I have a domain :-)
 
@RoryAlsop Time to start learning node.js? :)
 
@TerryChia .....
maybe not :-)
 
@RoryAlsop Hey, you are starting to sound like @kalina!
 
ahh - the ellipsis?
 
11:27 AM
@TerryChia no
 
@TerryChia ouch harsh insult bro
 
@RoryAlsop ellipsis is three dots
@RоryMcCune ...
 
I did 5 dots
two betterer
er
 
two mistakes more like
 
erererer
error
definitely time for breakfast
 
11:27 AM
@kalina He's old. He might have problems with math.
 
@TerryChia this isn't maths - it's arithmetic
 
I wish I could have some of the drugs you guys are on
 
@RоryMcCune You know what I find funny? A guy twice my age calling me "bro". ;) #onlyinthedmz
 
@TerryChia what.. me and @RoryAlsop are down with the kidz........ yo
:op
@TerryChia anyway my excuse is that I've been watching PewDiePie videos
 
It's sad that I found three sites that doesn't invalidate session cookies upon logout. Too bad I won't get bounties for them because someone else reported it first.
 
11:31 AM
@RоryMcCune This is a very valid excuse.
 
@RоryMcCune #yolo
 
@kalina flagged
 
bwahahaha
 
@RоryMcCune is that like little honey boo boo?
 
no power in the 'verse can stop me!
 
11:36 AM
@AviD no 'cause PewDiePie is good and I've never seen honey boo boo but I understand that she's the antithesis of good
 
so is your mother
 
@RоryMcCune never heard of it.
 
Pew Die Pie???
 
@AviD PewDiePie, most popular Youtuber in the world....
 
Surely not a Weebl and Bob spinoff?
 
11:42 AM
@kalina careful with that crack and older people young one..
 
:(
 
older people use crack?
 
@RoryAlsop Why are you asking us? You should know.
 
@TerryChia I wouldn't even know how to make it
 
afk lunch
 
11:44 AM
@RoryAlsop No, I meant you should know if older people use it.
I feel like I should link the collegehumour jeggings video here.

Q: Should professors intervene if a student is wearing offensive clothing in their classroom?

ff524A question about university dress codes reminded me of an incident that happened when I was an undergrad, in which a classmate came to school wearing a really offensive and misogynistic t-shirt. I was extremely uncomfortable, especially since this was an engineering program and I was one of only...

 
@TerryChia do it!
 
@RoryAlsop That would mean linking my account to the site. Nvm.
 
@RоryMcCune still never heard of it.
 
12:04 PM
@AviD well you could start with his 7 part walkthrough of South Park : Stick... Of... Truth
which looks in seriously bad taste, but then it's south park
@AviD the dude has 24 million subscribers, he must be mega-minted
3.7 billion video views
 
wow - how on earth have I not heard of him before
 
at a conservative estimate that'd be $18 million
@RoryAlsop I only really heard of him through the fine bros
it's got to be the most changeable weather ever here today. 30 mins ago we had brilliant sunshine, and now we have a hailstorm!
 
12:58 PM
Yup currently gorgeous sunshine and hail. Simultaneously.
 
1:20 PM
@Adnan Did you write about that cipher suite selection research you did in any of your answers by any chance?
 
1:42 PM
@RоryMcCune sure. Because followers on youtube translate directly to cash in the bank.
aaaaaand its gone.
@RоryMcCune and here, Summer has officially started.
Dammit.
@Rory's, stay away, lest you melt.
 
@RoryAlsop Go home weather, you're drunk... or Scottish... or, given the circumstances, probably both

@ColinCassidy Like there's a difference? Aren't they synonyms?
 
Proper subset.
 
@AviD Sure it does. The big names earn huge on YT.
 
2:03 PM
@AviD it kind of does. Big youtubers are part of the monetization programme. You get paid based on likes or views. the figure I put up was based on $5/1000 views which came from a machinma partner who got paid that. PewDiePie probably gets a better rate
 
huh? Dont they get paid only based on ad clicks?
after all, thats where YT makes their money....
 
@AviD Big names only like @RоryMcCune said.
 
ahh, special deals for them? At what point does that happen?
Cuz, I've got like over 60 views, so any day now, right?
 
@AviD I don't think there's public information about it.
 
@AviD you can submit a channel to ask to get in but they don't accept everyone I've seen channels getting solidly 5-10k views a video not get accepted
 
2:08 PM
@RоryMcCune 10k views per video is pretty damn low when talking about the big leagues though.
 
definitely the first rule of monetization is that you're not allowed to talk about monetization
 
A random guy emailed me asking about crypto advice. Weird.
Wonder how he got my email, although it isn't exactly private information.
 
2:43 PM
@TerryChia How is a guy "random"?? And, if he already has managed to achieve randomness, why would he still need advice?
 
2:53 PM
@MrHen I finally got around to answering that question about me....

A: What does "trollpoking" mean?

AviDAs the author of that example, and as one who has no recollection of the incident whatsoever, I will admit that I am amused by this. I did find the answers here enlightening, but @IconDaemon was closest: Trollpoking, or poking the troll, is along the lines of "Don't feed the troll", but with ...

 
3:14 PM
@AviD Good verb,
 
> XML is what you do to a sysadmin if waterboarding him would get you fired.

3:33 PM
@RоryMcCune I'm plural?!?
 
@Simon don't you dare!!
@AviD Aren't there laws against Tiggers redefining English?
also, you gotta put it on Urban Dict now
actually, that'd be an awesome addition to your answer, first submit a new definition, then quote it in your answer: According to Urban Dictionary ... :)
 
3:57 PM
33 minutes
@AviD this question does not ask about tiggers
 
@Simon yep you're so Nurdy , it can't be contained in the form of a single Nurd
 
@AviD See, you make absolutely no sense that a bunch of people need to brainstorm to figure out what the fuck you mean.
@RоryMcCune I'm ashamed of myself :(
 
@thomaspornin see you got a nice mention in this wite-up 2uo.de/myths-about-urandom
 
29 minutes
 
@Simon why nothing wrong with Nurdiness
@kalina wouldn't be Friday without the Kalina Countdown
 
4:02 PM
my countdown can occur on any day
today I'd rather be somewhere else though
like... really really
 
> Or Thomas Pornin, who is probably one of the most helpful persons I've ever encountered on the Stackexchange sites:
+1
 
far worse than normal
 
@kalina true but surely it's especially significant on a Friday
 
@kalina I need today to be over too. I'm going to a Hard dance event tomorrow.
 
well, maybe
nothing really happens on a Friday that couldn't happen on some other day
 
4:03 PM
It's pretty hard to get me into the "somebody is wrong on the internet mode"
 
@CodesInChaos no it's not
 
but CSPRNG vs. TRNG does the job
 
no? Not biting?
you're right, it's harder than most people to get you into "somebody is wrong on the internet" mode
do what?
I don't know
I do it every day I desperately don't want to be at work
 
@ton.yeung I feel like we have to explain everything to you like if you were a child.
 
@ton.yeung it's already heavily delayed
 
4:06 PM
@ton.yeung At life in general.
 
that means it will either be awesome or terrible
 
@ton.yeung It's ok, me too.
 
they were going to release it around the time GTA5 came out
and then realised that nobody would buy it if they did
so would I
unfortunately, we're not everybody else
 
@RoryAlsop I stopped being a pussy and got tattoo'd last Wednesday.
 
@Simon eww
 
4:08 PM
@kalina You think that tattoos are ugly?
 
yes
 
You must find that a lot of people are ugly then.
 
yes
 
@kalina tut tut I wouldn't let the elder @rory hear that...
 
"elder rory" narrows it down to like every rory on stack exchange
 
4:09 PM
lul
 
@kalina not if I say it, then there's only one :)
as the 2nd oldest rory here, there's only one elder :)
 
It's on my forearm so I see it all le time
Except when I'm outside because CANADUH
 
20 minutes
 
@kalina I thought you'd finally love me if I'd get a rainbow dash tattoo...
 
even *I* wouldn't get a rainbow dash tattoo
 
4:12 PM
haha
 
@kalina If I say "thank god" now, will you get one just out of spite?
 
I don't need a cutie mark tattoo'ing on my ass
 
that'd be a very childish tattoo imo
 
@FEichinger totally
I'll get myself tattoo'd blue while I'm at it
 
blue da dog?
or blue the crystal meth from BB
 
4:14 PM
no blue as in the colour
 
@kalina Intriguing.
 
The word blue colored in red?
 
@kalina Also very intriguing, on that note.
 
sets fire to @FEichinger
stop thinking about my ass.
3
 
@kalina Oh now you want me to stop? Tsk.
 
4:16 PM
wot
 
@kalina TWSS
 
@TerryChia in this case quite literally
 
@RоryMcCune Indeed. :)
 
@Simon what kind of tattoo did you get?
Ah, that was a dumb question, it's quite obviously "I'm sorry, eh"

4:48 PM
Yet another SQLi in the very latest Joomla Core.
> Inadequate escaping leads to SQL injection vulnerability.
WHY THE FUQ DO THEY RELY ON ESCAPING?
Is this 1997?
 
ah joomla. Had a great episode about them on stackoverflow.
 
@CodesInChaos linky?
 
Somebody posted a horrible password hashing implementation. Which then turned out to be from joomla.
I think they also used a crap PRNG to generate passwords and security tokens
But apparently this was only 1.5.x, which nobody gave a damn about anymore (except those using it)
so I don't think they ever responded on their bug tracker
 
5:10 PM
@Simon any pics - what did you get?
@kalina I don't have that many tattoos
Although I did see a girl at an event last night who had lovely long arms with NO tattoos at all. She stood out quite well, I thought
@kalina I have a friend who did get one of the MLP's tattooed on her hip. Can't remember which one it was (I'm not very au fait with them)
 
sup?
 
@RoryAlsop Thats.... well.. I guess it's no more stupid than getting a butterfly just above the buttcrack that was all the rage 10 years ago.
 
@tylerl my personal opinion on it is probably the same as yours, but she seems to like it. And I'm sure she thinks some of my tattoos are daft. Each to their own.
 
@RoryAlsop "daft" and "tattoo" are practically synonymous. It's difficult to come up with any idea for a tattoo that isn't fundamentally silly when you look at it objectively. I don't thing reason is the point.
 
@tylerl :-) agreed. I like mine, but then I also rather like the process of being tattooed.
 
5:29 PM
@ton.yeung doesn't hurt. Well, not yet. It's more like a really pleasant scratching
nearly fell asleep during my back piece
 
@ton.yeung you mean like tattooing your MLP cutie mark on your butt? Yep. Perfectly reasonable.
 
The forehead is a better choice
 
@ton.yeung my little pony. That's @kalina's suggestion from way back
 
@ton.yeung nah - look after it for a day, then business as usual
what does it mean
 
5:34 PM
back of the neck can be a deal breaker when interviewing for a job
never go for any obvious spots
unless you are a musician, tattooist etc
Oh - favourite SE Dev tool ever:
 
Many jobs require tattoos be covered. So picking a spot that's typically covered anyway adds a degree of convenience in that regard
 
Stack Exchange have this power!!! :-)
@kalina - I think I've found your new favourite job ...
@ton.yeung think I've persuaded my Mother in law. She is sixty something
at that age, why worry
heh
 
@ton.yeung That depends on what "persuaded" entails.
 
@FEichinger ewwww
@ton.yeung a bit of fun
 
@RoryAlsop I DID NOT MEAN THAT.
 
5:40 PM
TWSS
:-)
 
...
 
@FEichinger @kalina?
 
@RoryAlsop I know, I was about to say "Yeh, she definitely said that. On multiple occasions."
 
hahahahahaha
 
But I settled for that instead.
Or you get a Rainbow Dash tattoo to eliminate all such ideas.
2
Nobody will get that impression anymore with a colourful pony on your cheek.
 
5:50 PM
@RoryAlsop I can never see MLP as an acronym without thinking More London Place
 
@RоryMcCune true. But that would be a weird tattoo
 
@RoryAlsop what getting Jan tattood on your back?
 
@RоryMcCune Oh - that would be relatively normal by comparison. I have just googled for tattoos incorporating MLP or the Mayor's thing, to no avail - but I have seen a lot of disturbing tattoos in the process
 
@RoryAlsop well yeah searching for "Mayor's ball tattoo" could result in oddness
 
@RоryMcCune hahahaha
