  • Rofl… I’m a patient person and even I don’t have the patience for that

    Edit: I take it back, as @schmidtgenetics suggested, I tried it in my current book, that was annoyingly closing itself all the time, at around 10 pages a go, and it does work really really well, and only toook 1 or 2 minutes.

    So, thanks for the tip, I’ll be doing this going forward!






  • Unless I’m missing something here… The attacker needs to be running some sort of executable in your network with permissions to:

    • dig the records and assemble the strings
    • write the decoded result to a file
    • make that file executable
    • execute that file

    You’ve got bigger problems than hexadecimal txt records in this scenario…

    The only difference between this and a GitHub gist appears to be that security software doesn’t scan traffic in port 53… It easily could be configured for that though surely… It’s just UDP traffic like any other.

    Someone tell me what I’m missing!





  • Ok, I can agree with this logic “it’s better to try than to give in” much more than “there’s always a solution”.

    That to me still leaves some people starving of hunger due to a lack of money and an excess of bills. But I agree that even in that horrible situation it’s better to keep trying than give in.

    I was worried the argument here was closer to “you’re in this terrible situation because you didn’t try enough” which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

    I feel now that we’re in agreement though?


  • This is reductive to the point of absurdity, if this were true no one would ever die from any problem (i.e. drowning, falling, etc.) They’d simply activate ingenuity.

    Some problems do not have a solution in a given circumstance.

    E.g. I’m locked in a prison on a sinking ship that’s already 1km underwater, and my cell is completely full of water and I’ve held my breath for 2 minutes now.
