Obfuscated Javascript code using function(p,a,c,k,e,r)

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

So recently my company bought some javascript code and we wanted to read through it and make sure nothing fishy was going on. Of course it was obfuscated using some code that starts out with:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r){
Googling I found this that shows how just adding
eval = alert;
above the code makes your browser spit out the code. Some [...]

Blu-Ray Encryption Cracked

What kind of moron do you have to best to proclaim that your disc encryption won’t be broken for 10 years. The model of DRM is retarded. It’s not security. You don’t walk around giving criminals your lock and your key to your house hidden in a haystack and say ‘Ha Ha try to break [...]

I solved Blather!!!! All by myself pretty much! IM me for an explanation, plus the solutions from the MIT Mystery Hunt HW team should be published soon anyway. I was very proud of myself.

Gnome-Open ELisp Function and code display

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

So Emacs pulls through and it looks like I can easily create code snippets in Wordpress by using the blockquote HTML tag and then just copying in the emacs-generate html code that you can generate using the htmlize emacs package. Seems to work great!

(defun gnome-open ()
“Opens the current buffer’s file with gnome-open”

Emacs and MIT Mystery Hunt

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

So I’m newly dedicated to learning two new things: Ruby and Emacs. With Ruby also comes Rails of course
I just purchased kelsin.net so I want to get that site up soon. You can tell if you go there now that it only has a newly installed Rails default page loaded. I’m currently compiling [...]

ArchLinux

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

So in my never-ending search for a great linux distrobution I’ve found ArchLinux.
Let me list my problems with the other distrobutions I’ve used:

Fedora: Nothing against the Red Hat people but I hate RPM distros. I love a bunch of the software developed originally for Red Hat and I use a lot of it (going [...]

Missed my Dentist Apointment

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

So I missed my dentist apointment that was at 10:00am today. I was watching TV and then at like 10:05 went “OH SHIT” and ran upstairs to call them up. I said I could get there in like 10 minutes but they said they’d rather reschedule. I have no idea if they charge for that [...]
