asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: 2 items for consideration: 1) what version string is to be used in the first public therealbitcoin nodes? the current one doesn't seem appropriate 2) anyone have existing nodes (of whatever variety) to 'get a light' from? i'd prefer these to 'wild' mysterymeat
mircea_popescu: myeah. it just doesn't wash, half the "expert" population of c-ers doesn't actually comprehend c string safety
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and yet, author knows enough to use strprintf rather than any other of the countless vulnerable c string things
asciilifeform: there is some gnarly string handling in there, and i quite suspect it is exploitable
mircea_popescu: im fully unconvinced by all this complicated, farcical, cinquecento-ish "string of instruments" puppet theatre.
ag3nt_zer0: tried sending to shinohai but got a string of numbers he said were not correct looking at all
trinque: why's parsing a single integer more dangerous than parsing a complicated string?
pete_dushenski: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qfA2j300TN85O3DBm1bWC1-TFkq24M3Qp24YfKE5K7A/edit << anatomy of a string-along-scammer by adam_obrien

danielpbarron: he should better have generated a hash of some unique string relating to that specific deal and had Blazedout4l9 sign it with an address
Adlai: (... but this requires customized JSON parser at the receiving side, that isn't always practical.) << pffffff (setf json:*real-handler* (lambda (string) (parse-float string :type 'rational)))
mircea_popescu: jurov sweet. but could the repeated string Author be replaced with the nick ?
ascii_field: 'In the room waited Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who had stopped by for a photo op and was posing a challenge for officers discussing safe ways to get the prime minister out of the building if necessary.' << oh noez, poor muppet might lose a string or two
mircea_popescu: justJanne the application here is that, if i give you a string of random numbers which unknown to you are the nth digit of pi onwards, you may think you have entropy by "tests".
danielpbarron: btcg, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-05-2015#1136035 << you need to decrypt this with your first key, and send the result back as !v [decrypted string] ☝︎
davout: asciilifeform: what's the version string on the key?
asciilifeform: the only peculiar thing i can see in this key is the use of odd orcish hieroglyphs in the id string
trinque: when I say everything I mean "what are the services which will care about this change" not "what config files have this string"
mircea_popescu: For checking if a string is empty, null or undefined I use: return (!str || 0 === str.length); For checking if a string is blank, null or undefined I use: return (!str || /^\s*$/.test(str)); For checking if a string is blank or contains only white-space: return (this.length === 0 || !this.trim());

trinque: along with automatic to-string for the ASTs
asciilifeform: (and not as the idiot header string or the other similar variants)

mircea_popescu: not every string is information.
mircea_popescu: i suppose we could put the string through teh entropy tests... but no, doesn't look like it's 8/8.
mircea_popescu: "If the siteA string is empty, it is taken to be the local machine. A target like @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@victim would cause high load by recursive finger invocations, and could be used to contribute to a DOS attack. Michael H. Warfield reports that in a SUN NIS environment it is easy to kill a network using finger."
decimation: mtd2 appears to be a configuation area, it starts with a hex string that equals my h/w serial number
trinque: nubbins`: I'm gonna need a cork board with pins and string at this point
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think putin is having string orgasms. imagine, greece in a compact with russia! sub bases ALL THROUGH THE ISLANDS.
mircea_popescu: any random string being hashable, any random string could be used as a pubkey, in principle. may take some work to mine a usable privkey to go with it, but...
asciilifeform: 'Identity-based encryption is a type of public-key encryption in which any arbitrary string (such as a user’s email address) can be used as a public key, enabling data to be protected without the need for long, randomly generated keys or certificates. Today, there are numerous standards for IBE based on Boneh’s work, including IEEE P1363.3 and several IETF RFCs.' << from the press release. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the only reasonable way to go forward at this point would be a) edit the source of the ssl we intend to use to include a magic string ; b) make ; c) strings on the binary.
nubbins` has checked sigs, verified everything front-back, has no idea what string in filename is :S
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a simple exercise : given each element applies a force F on a random vector, calculate the shear force - probability function for a string of 100 such.

jurov: does assbot store the !v verification string?
assbot: Invalid verfication string.
danielpbarron: i guess if you're not on something debian you probably know how to convert that string into something useable
funkenstein_: morning string puller. you sound like a musician too :)
mircea_popescu: If the Flare interpreter knows that "human" is a class defined in the module "people", then it knows to expect that the tag "arms" refers to an instance member with numeric content. This is how the Flare interpreter knows that 2 means the number 2 and not the string "2".
adlai sees a surprising parallel between processing a long string of characters and the von neumann approach to executing a linear sequence instructions referring an array of memory...
asciilifeform: say we limit the length of the string
assbot: Invalid verfication string.
gribble: Error: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)
gabriel_laddel: The Eot-wash group won't test this. And the string theorist in that stackoverflow question is more than happy to state that because a large construction of molecules falls at the speed we expect it to, it couldn't possibly happen on a small scale.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel string theorists are a lot like freudian psychanalists. the better ones follow the lieberman line.
asciilifeform: whereas all kinds of bullshit, which cannot be observed anywhere, ever, even in principle - is entirely real to a 'string theorist.'
gabriel_laddel: (for the record, I've not run the numbers on Schwartz's experiment yet, don't know for sure yet that it is valid, but can say that yes, everything he says is falsifiable and yes, everyone who say "he is a crank" etc. is a lying scumbag for not pointing out the exact sentence where he missteps. EG: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/7757/weak-equivalence-principle-tests in which a "string theorist" knowingly
assbot: Invalid verfication string.
assbot: Need a decrypted verification string.
fluffypony: (once the string has been decrypted I mean)
mircea_popescu: no, and i do mean NO english speaker of 1712 would have come up with that string.

asciilifeform: does the string 'spaghetti sort' occur in it ?
mircea_popescu: that's what nobody wants to really say about string theory : while it's a ridiculous pile of pasta, it's not *really* that far off from physics.
assbot: Invalid verfication string.
pete_dushenski: out the plaintext behind the hash e6d290a03b70cfa5d4451da444bdea39 was غير مسجل, which is Arabic for "unregistered". The hex-encoded string for the same Arabic word is dbedd120e3d3cce1."
assbot: Logged on 27-11-2014 18:53:32; fluffypony: besides, this is a trivial problem - all IRC servers in a network need to be in-sync (services etc.), so just sync up a table of IP -> random string key-value pairs
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 19:18:23; mircea_popescu: but if it's a serious point of concern, either move the version string in the config file

mircea_popescu: but if it's a serious point of concern, either move the version string in the config file ☟︎
mircea_popescu: same exact fucking quote, as in, string.
asciilifeform: i'd bet it's a solid, tangible string
asciilifeform: (what string? ask gerald davis or any of the rest, i've no idea)
asciilifeform: they'd pull whatever string was attached to the muppet
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2014 21:53:25; mircea_popescu: this "'KGB: the Inside Story' by Christopher Andrew" string reminds me of the "stop sending niggers then" joke.
asciilifeform: b) if set off, because receiver was built from shoebox, string and dead squirrel - this is meant to happen -before- the truck reaches the mine
kanzure: "!v" is giving me "Need a decrypted verification string."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lemme guess, string/path matching
