there is way more money in the world than cash. it's just stored in a massive database somewhere. And banks have the power to edit that database whenever they want - thereby the ability to create money.

TheWanderer

wait why is Nathan dying on us?

@KazWolfe oh

I thought you literally meant print money

Nathan Osman

Spoiler: everyone is dying.

TheWanderer

not create credit and such

Kaz Wolfe

12:01 AM

that's what printing money is

TheWanderer

@NathanOsman awwww, you ruined my favorite part!

wow, that was dark

Nathan Osman

It's true though.

TheWanderer

no what I said

Nathan Osman

Let's become a payment broker then?

Kaz Wolfe

a bank can make $200,000 appear out of thin air in your account, and you can withdraw all of that in cash.

TheWanderer

12:02 AM

@NathanOsman can we make it an Android-only bank, so I can program in Kotlin?

@KazWolfe unless everyone does it at once

Nathan Osman

@TheWanderer Backend shall be in Fortran.

Because all the other banks are doing it :P

Kaz Wolfe

only if it can be dockerized

TheWanderer

kek

wait we need to work in SQL injections somehow

Nathan Osman

Actually, Rust seems like a not-half-bad choice.

Kaz Wolfe

backend is in java

Nathan Osman

12:03 AM

@TheWanderer Easy: PHP.

TheWanderer

ah yes

but we need to use the old Apache version

Kaz Wolfe

here. let's actually do things right.

TheWanderer

you know, the one Equifax is still using

Nathan Osman

VB6?

TheWanderer

yes

Nathan Osman

I am so tempted right now to start a repository on GitHub with a title like "core-bank-backend", write some skeleton code in VB6, and submit it to Hacker News.

Kaz Wolfe

@TheWanderer You joke, but I've legit seen 2GB spreadsheets for companies to manage their accounts.

TheWanderer

@all

Nathan Osman

2 GB spreadsheet. What. The. Heck.

TheWanderer

12:05 AM

@NathanOsman it'd probably actually work on a bank's backend too xD

Nathan Osman

How much RAM does that require to open?

Kaz Wolfe

sorry, 2gb decompressed.

Nathan Osman

@TheWanderer Only if we install XP on the machines.

TheWanderer

no 98

Kaz Wolfe

bank passwords can only be 6 digits.

Nathan Osman

12:06 AM

98 doesn't support more than 1 GB of RAM.

Kaz Wolfe

yes, digits.

Nathan Osman

Heh! My bank is pretty similar.

TheWanderer

@NathanOsman but our software doesn't work on anything newer and we "don't have enough money" to upgrade

Nathan Osman

And they limit the password to alphanumeric characters.

Kaz Wolfe

no no

we're doing just numbers

and users cant change it

Nathan Osman

12:06 AM

@TheWanderer We could use swap, I guess.

TheWanderer

only hackers can @KazWolfe

Nathan Osman

That will get us to 2 GB. I think.

TheWanderer

@NathanOsman now you're thinking

Kaz Wolfe

or, here. how about this.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe ...without a small "maintenance" fee.

TheWanderer

@NathanOsman of $666

Kaz Wolfe

We build a bank layer based on Java EE microservices spread through Docker images, all running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS hosts. All transit between servers is encrypted.

Nathan Osman

"microtransactions" FTW.

TheWanderer

who needs HTML5?

Kaz Wolfe

we use MD4 for hashing, and each password must be unique.

Nathan Osman

We can run it in IE9 in kiosk mode.

TheWanderer

let's use a web language that needs to be compiled!

@KazWolfe tf is MD4?

Kaz Wolfe

And the error message will be, "Sorry, you can not use this password as it is currently in use by $user"

Nathan Osman

LOL

Kaz Wolfe

You know MD5?

TheWanderer

yehs

@KazWolfe perfetto

Kaz Wolfe

It's a worse MD5

TheWanderer

ah

I guess there would be versions

Nathan Osman

MD2 is even better.

TheWanderer

12:12 AM

although I still don't understand why Samsung's binaries are packaged in "MD5" format

@NathanOsman MD0

Nathan Osman

MD2 wasn't even disabled in GnuTLS until 2009 or so.

TheWanderer

MD-1

Kaz Wolfe

doesnt exist

TheWanderer

MD0.33333333333333333

@KazWolfe MD4 for password hashing?! In the wild?!

Nathan Osman

@Seth No, no, no. MD2.

MD2 was finally disabled in OpenSSL and GnuTLS in 2009.

This calls for a tweet.

Except it is proving the opposite - JS is much faster than WASM on my machine for some strange reason.

Oh, it depends on the effect.

Kaz Wolfe

1:14 AM

actually

now that i think about it the unique password thing is kind of a cool anti-pattern

if someone chooses "password" as a password, they will get hacked and shamed

Nathan Osman

Then a new type of business will crop up that converts passwords into UUIDs that can be fed into your "unique password" system.

Wait. Have I just invented LastPass?

TheWanderer

lol

hm. why is everyone worried about KRACK, really?

you need specialized equipment to pull it off, and you still can't defeat normal encryption.

Seth

1:54 AM

eh, I didn't say you suck at your job.

From what I've seen I think you're probably pretty good.

Kaz Wolfe

part of the issue here is the attacker in question.

those who have the resources and know-how to pull off KRACK will most likely be able to get in other ways

Seth

large corporations count as nation/state too you know

@KazWolfe it's not about that. Hole's a hole. And any hole hurts you and helps the enemy. Even hard to get in ones.

Kaz Wolfe

right. you still need to minimize holes, but it's unrealistic to design a perfect system

the minute you say "they can't use that to hurt me" is the minute they will.

krack is not a big threat now because few people know how to exploit it, and fewer people have the capability to do so. If you're a target, you should be worried. If you're some random at home, this isn't something to cause panic.

@KazWolfe no it's not, and I don't see anyone panicking.

Q: Is it appropriate to remove low-quality/downvoted answer?

Long time ago, when I'm still new to this site. I posted 4-5 answer to different question, and all of them got downvote. I recently figured out that they're low quality answer. So is it okay to remove them ?

discussion low-quality-posts down-votes

Seth

@KazWolfe On SE it is :P

either way, if they're panicking than they're just ignorant.

What does worry me is that two of the systems involved are things with bad update cycles. Phones and routers.

Thankfully (apparently) only one device needs to be patched.

Journeyman Geek

@Seth which is an arguement for not having specialised devices with fixed sources for firmware...

Seth

2:10 AM

@JourneymanGeek yeah well that's a bit difficult for both phones and routers/APs. Unless you've got no budget

Kaz Wolfe

well, phones it's become effectively impossible

you can jump to a secure (custom) firmware and lose quite a few features for "security" or you can stay on the fully-functional insecure firmware

did i mention how much i hate safetynet/the knox flag?

you're not alone.

Journeyman Geek

@Seth heh, I suspect if not for wireless, the DIY route's actually pretty cheap.

@JourneymanGeek cheap for those with the know-how.

but most router makers don't want to make it too easy for you to slap on openwrt

10:45 AM

how can I search for the existence of two strings in a file using regex?

(string1|string2) returns any file that contains either

Oli

You want both? grep -l will output a list of files that match... so you could use that to find string1 and then use that list to search for string2. Bit fugly.

Aha, here's an example: unix.stackexchange.com/a/68142/880

grep -lZ 'foo' * | xargs -0 grep -l '321'

TheWanderer

in Sublime

Oli

Maybe somehthing like this would work with multiline on: ((.*string1.*|.*string2.*)|(.*string2.*|.*string1.*))

Nah, that lets you match string1 string1. Nvm.

(?s)((.*string1.*string2.*)|(.*string2.*string1.*))

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Journeyman Geek

woof?

Yeah that works in ST. It craps out on big files though.

In 17.10, how do I change the screen scaling? I have a high dpi display and would basically just like to scale everything up to x2. In older versions of Ubuntu, there was a slider in the system settings (gnome-control-center) under "Displays" but now not anymore.

terdon

11:10 AM

@TheWanderer On the same line, or on any lines?

TheWanderer

any lines

files containing both words

terdon

The simplest would be something like the grep |xargs Oli gave. You can do it with regex, but it's needlessly complicated and they aren't really the right tool for the job. I'd probably do something like awk '/foo/ || /bar/{a++}; a>1{print FILENAME; next}; NR==1{a=0}' *

But that processes all files needlessly.

Oli

I'm trying to work out if multi-line matching is more stressful than double-reading. I think it might.

terdon

Hang on, grep can do it:

Oli

The performance is probably contextual (how likely is matching one not the other, how long are the files, how much distance between terms, etc). But as for matching within Sublime Text, you really can only do multi-line.

terdon

11:17 AM

grep -lzE 'foo.*bar|bar.*foo' *

And to speed things up a little:

grep -m1 -lZE 'foo.*bar|bar.*foo' *

Oli

Would have thought -m1 was implied by -l

terdon

@Oli Ah, yes, it might be. I've looked into this at some point.

Yep, you're right:

       -l, --files-with-matches
                 Instead of outputting lines from the files, just output the names of  the  files  containing  lines
                 that  would have been output. Each file name is output once, on a separate line. Searching normally
                 stops as soon as a matching line is found in a file. However, if the  -c  (count)  option  is  also
                 used,  matching  continues in order to obtain the correct count, and those files that have at least

TheWanderer

I'm doing this in Sublime Text, so I'm limited to regex

Oli

11:33 AM

Then (?s)(string1.*string2|string2.*string1) or something like it should work.

TheWanderer

OK thanks

terdon

11:53 AM

@TheWanderer Why though? Why not just run the command from the terminal instead of fiddling around with complex lookarounds?

@Oli Will . match \n in sublime's regex flavor?

Oli

@terdon That's what the leading (?s) does (turns on multiline)

terdon

Ah, right

TheWanderer

@terdon Windows

terdon

Ah

Or is that not possible?

Uhm, assuming you have the patched .class file handy, just use your favourite ZIP archive manager and replace the original file.

Well no I don't have the patched .class yet. The good news is it looks like the output from the decompiler might be good to go without any modifications, and the file is quite short.
