    Cracked 1000 EUR/USD software in a couple of minutes. Should I report it and ask for a bounty?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 04:37 AM PST

    I reverse engineered software made by a company I don't want to disclose, they're selling it for more than 1000 EUR/USD. Based on the reverse engineered code, I was able to generate unlimited serial numbers.

    I sent an e-mail to the company saying I could share with them how I did it, and a bounty was optional.

    Was it the right thing to do? Or are there better ways of bounty/bug hunting?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:35 PM PST

    Hello, a start up company I am applying for are making me complete a 2 hour test on HackerRank to get through to the next stage of assessment. Has anyone done one of these before and know how hard it will be?

    I'm an amateur coder at best and have coded properly in a good 6 months to a year. I really want to get through this stage but feel I'm super rusty. I have a week to complete the test but when I start it, I can't stop.

    What technologies to use for mobile dev în 2020+

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 10:02 PM PST

    Hi all,

    What do you guys recommend (an why) to use if i want to start learning mobile development (regular apps, not games)? Want to mention 2 Things here:

    1. I have some experience în developing Java and spring boot apps with angular.
    2. I want to use a demanding technology because i want to start freelancing în the future.

    I am thinking between React Native, Native script with angular, flutter or android dev with Java and android studio.

    Many thanks!!

    Ps: i can start learning from zero, so no need to include Java or angular (if it fits it's ok).

    [help] I have a buch of really bad low budget code to maintain. Pls help.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 06:19 PM PST

    I've inherited a bunch of low budget under tested code to maintain. Mostly c# file parsing and etl processes that run overnight and do a bunch of operations on a database. Things break a lot it seems random though. You think I should just wrap the main method of everything in a try catch and try to log exception info somewhere?

    Help with reading strings into array.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 05:05 PM PST

    I am trying to read a total of 10 strings into a string array, but it is counting every individual spaced word as a different string rather than each line, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Help please...

    The names from the file are as follows:

    Smith, John

    Song, Mona

    Jones, Trevor

    Li, Na

    Zhang, Xiu Ying

    Saleem, Mohammad

    Lloyd, Arthur

    Jones, Rhys

    Evans, Olivia

    Davies, Emily

    Unnecessary code has been omitted:

    #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; //omitted code void readNames(ifstream& inputFile, string names[], int numNames); void displayNames(const string names[], int numNames); int main() { const int numNames = 10; string names[numNames]; ifstream inputFile; inputFile.open("StudentNames.txt"); readNames(inputFile, names, numNames); inputFile.close(); displayNames(names, numNames); //omitted code } void readNames(ifstream& inputFile, string names[], int numNames) { string line; if (inputFile) { for (int count = 0; count < numNames; count++) { istream& getline(inputFile >> line); names[count] = line; } } else { cout << "File has failed.\n"; } } void displayNames(const string names[], int numNames) { for (int count = 0; count < numNames; count++) { cout << names[count] << " "; } cout << endl; } 

    Here is an example of what it is giving me as the output:

    Smith, John Song, Mona Jones, Trevor Li, Na Zhang, Xiu

    (and that's all).

    Kindly help a chimp understand Software Architecture in a simplified way

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:45 AM PST

    As a novice programmer, the most intimidating thing about programming is not learning new syntax or understanding programming logic. What kills my passion for programming above anything else is the fact that I cannot seem to understand how things are connected on an architectural level.

    I am not talking about subroutines within a program; I am rather talking about file structure and inter-connectivity between for instance front-end, back-end and database. For example, let's say I am developing a website:

    1. How do front-end connect to back-end, and how does back-end connect to the database? Is it done simply by defining pathways (like HTML to JavaScript)? Do I need to install extensions, include packages (and in that case, where do these go?)... or how does it work?
    2. And ultimately, when I actually have the code ready, how the hell do I launch the website? I have heard about servers and hosting, but what does that mean? Do I upload the files somewhere? Do I specify a url somewhere in my code? How does it work?

    On top of my confusion, new frameworks and tools are constantly introduced. It all feels so overwhelming that it kills my creative spark. I just want to write beautiful software.

    As you can probably tell by the nature of my question, I am totally confused. I am sure it is, in reality, quite simple. If would be infinitely grateful of someone could simplify the whole thing for me, regarding software architecture (physical location, connectivity, pathways, etc) for me.

    Learn to crack software

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:43 AM PST

    I'm a. Net web developer. C# and js are the only languages I use. I'd like to get help finding resources on how to learn how to crack software. I don't really want to crack anything I'm just curious about the knowledge and techniques used. Like the key gen serial generators and such. I know there are lots of bids on YouTube that teaches you tricks to hack whatever in 5 min. But as I said I'm not really after cracking I just want to learn about how to manipulate a compilated software. Windows systems.

    How much to charge a friend for a project?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 02:28 PM PST

    I have a friend that would like me to write a python script to interact with various apis to make his daily life easier.

    At my last job, my rate was $90/hr. Not sure if I should charge the same rate for a friend though.

    If I charge my normal rate, it could be seen as rude. If I don't charge enough, it drives down the value of our industry.

    What's the etiquette here?

    Is there any good cloud IDE and project management solutions combined?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 08:34 AM PST

    Hello! Is there any cloud IDE and project management solutions combined? I'm thinking of something like Eclipse Che, OpenProject and Gitlab combined. Or share how and what apps does your organisation use to develop, store and manage programming projects and how do you integrate thoose apps. Thanks!

    Why does this happen (a very newbie question about C and decimals)?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 10:52 AM PST

    I'm just starting out learning to program. I was testing something, but it doesn't work as I expected. Here's the code:

    int main(void) { float cents = 0.04; int coins = 0; while (cents >= 0.01 && cents < 0.05) { coins++; cents = cents - 0.01; } printf("%i\n", coins); } 

    While cents is greater than or equal to 0.01 and less than 0.05, the program should add 0.01 to coins, remove 0.01 from cents, and then print whatever the value of coins is at that point.

    I was expecting it to print 4, but it actually prints 3. Why is that? I heard that compilers have trouble dealing with decimals that are not well represented in binary because computers have memory limitations, and therefore will compute only to a certain extent past the decimal point. However, here it's just doing simple subtraction, right? Like, (0.04 - 0.01) and (0.03 - 0.01). And the result of these expressions does not yield many numbers after the decimal point to give the compiler trouble, correct? So what am I missing?

    Note: 0.04 is four cents. 1.01 would be one dollar and one cent.

    Thank you for reading.

    How to create a 2D game engine

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:55 AM PST

    Let me introduce myself:

    I'm an IT student from Belgium currently in my second year for majoring in a bachelor degree. Ever since I was a little kid, my parents couldn't keep me off the computer. Not just for games but because I've been fascinated by them and the functionality of them. I first started to learn how to code when I was about fourteen years old but that didn't last very long because I got occupied with other teen.. stuff. But the interest in learning how to code stuck by me. When I was in high school they created a new course called Industrial-ICT. Thank god for that or I would've probably become an electrician. Anyway it's in this course that I started programming again when I was 16. I've never stopped coding since and I'm about to become 20. I've got mediocre coding skills with only having experience from school and other little projects like (currently) modding Minecraft as a great way to improve.

    My passion for coding has never been higher and to get more experience I'd love to create my own 2D-game with my own 2D engine. I was thinking to start off I'd only make a game for Windows and not make it cross-platform so the scope of the project isn't too large for my skill level. Then I would probably start a cross-platform project after that.

    So now my question is,

    Where do I start off? What do you recommend for me to use/ program in for my own gaming engine? Do you have any guides you might know of that you can recommend?

    How to pull data from a website opened in browser?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:49 AM PST

    Hi all, it's my first post here:)

    I recently got a nice Windows dektop program idea (for a very specific use-case). What I would need in order to make it work is to access the structure of the HTML page opened in a (running ofc) browser (let's say, Chrome). Then I'd parse it to get the data that interests me. I don't care about technology at all, it can be C, C++, C# or whatever. I just want a way to do this.

    I think there might be a security problems (inter-process communication etc) but I hope it's not impossible:) I have admin account if it matters.

    Thanks in advance

    Too many memes and nudes

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:14 AM PST

    Ladies and Gents,

    I have a good problem. I have a surplus of nudes/porn, of both amateur and professional nature, saved on my phone. Over the past few years I've just mindlessly saved them without thinking too much of the potential consequences. The problem is that now they're thoroughly mixed in with regular photos and memes and as a result - if I want to show some photos to a friend for whatever reason - I much-too-often find myself awkwardly and accidentally presenting nudes of my significant others to unassuming third parties.

    I want to filter my media into three groups: (1) non-sexual photos/videos I've actually taken, (2) Nudes, and (3) Memes (to be deleted - not sure why I ever started saving those). Unfortunately I have thousands of photos/media in total so I want to approach this problem, at least partially, by automating it.

    I'm not a programmer but I'm a professional in a technical field - so I'm not a complete stranger to certain programming languages.

    If you were going to create a nude photo sorting bot, how would you do it?

    Has someone already built one?

    What should I learn?

    What language to use for...?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 05:01 AM PST

    Hello

    I need guidance to know if I what i know is right. I understand that each language has its ups and downs and not all languages have the same performance in specific areas

    Here's what I know and correct me if I'm wrong

    • Web Development: JavaScript, C#, PHP, Python, Java
    • Cross Platform Development: Java, C#, C++
    • Hardware: C, C++
    • Mobile Devices: JavaScript, Kotlin, Java, Swift
    • Reverse Engineering: Assembly, C
    • Hacking/Penetration Testing: JavaScript, Python
    • Databases/Data Science: SQL, NoSQL, Python, R
    • Statistics/Mathematics: MatLab, R, Python

    While the list is not perfect and while every language can be used in other areas as well I kept performance and support in mind.

    For example JavaScript has also support for Data Science and Mathematics, but it is not reliable as Python or R.

    JavaScript supports Cross Platform Development with React, Angular frameworks but you do not get the same 100% performance as Swift and Kotlin.

    I know for a fact that there are also more languages, but these are what I learned in my University.

    Please, be free to comment and give suggestions for programming languages and create a Mega Table or Thread as a reference guide for our interests.

    I would like also to include Command Line such as Bash and DOS which are very useful for OS

    Thanks for reading.

    PS) Some people spend years of learning a programming language and after many years find out what they chose was wrong.

    Python web-scraping

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 02:00 AM PST

    I was tasked to webscrape a company website. I'm using my credentials to log in to the site, it was working fine these past two weeks but now it's asking for phone authentication so my script can't proceed to the next steps. Is there a way around this?
