My lemmy mobile client just crashed. This is me on the web interface, lol.

Always leave it to the actual users to find any bugs you didn't think of, lol.

Infinity for Lemmy didn't crash, lol.

Doing that to annoy devs who didn't sanitize their database inputs is like walking along parking lot just to see if anyone has forgotten to lock their car, just to put a post it in the steering wheel.

[–] daw_germany@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nah man, not sanitizing Inputs could pose serious security risks as someone could use this shit to escape and run arbitrary database queries potentially leaking passwords or other info or just wiping it (Afa I have learnt on the internet)

[–] YonatanAvhar@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just like @Norgur@kbin.social said, leaving your car unlocked is a serious security issue and you'd be lucky if someone walked by and just left a post-it note

Title text: My password is just every Unicode codepoint concatenated into a single UTF-8 string.

Is this anything that a simple admin password reset wouldn't fix? It's not like admins can see your passwords anyways. (if the system is even remotely competent)

At least he's not holding it by the top of the screen like Black Hat Guy.

[–] Red1C3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Actually….it’s called NUL

[–] behindthesailboats@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Right, So I actually did something similar. On some version of windows I noticed that ctrl-backspace was adding another character to the password, instead of deleting it. So I included it in my password. Then I updated to a new version of windows and got locked out since they updated the password backend to where it would actually delete the password instead of a adding the character, so I had no way of typing out my password. Ended up just nuking the computer.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could have just researched what character was being inserted by the ctrl backspace and then used the keyboard to insert the character from its ascii or unicode code to login and then changed your password before nuking your computer

Your what? Like those things with the dial that are attached to the wall? How are you meant to do it with that?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

Easy. You whistle in binary and say modem noises. The operator will patch you through to the internet.

Was that the same version of Windows where you could click "cancel" to bypass the login prompt?

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

early win98 and i think even into second edition you could just click the close window x button on the login window and it would just dump you onto the desktop. my parents thought adding a password would stop late night gaming.... nope worked till i got discovered one fateful nigbt and i was grounded till i revealed how i found out what the password was.

was eye opening for my father who then started just taking the power cords off the monitor and psu.

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My parents had the power cord in locked box, so you need a key to turn the computer on, which only they have.
Me and all my siblings learnt to pick lock.

[–] coloredgrayscale@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What did you use as tools, or was it a masterlock?

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

masterlock..... just touch it.... breathe on it .... threaten it with a speed square....
