안녕하세요!
Even today, I know some people who dedicate themselves to helping their community or open source, in the name of religion. It gives them a zen and feeling of purpose.
I also know people who have no friends or support. They’re locked up in their apartment, letting themselves rot day in and out. If those people were religious, at least they would be going to church.
Atheist btw.
It works against basic bots, but if you’ve got a dedicated adversary, it doesn’t do anything
(Granted, most people do not have dedicated adversaries, but when they come, you’re in trouble)
Hi it’s me. I work for a billion dollar company with a budget. We have no ethical ideas on how to stop bots. Thanks for coming to my tech talk.
Can anyone downvoting this explain how vegans are not morally superior?
I mean I’m not a vegan but I can’t help but feel like this meme’s got a point
The fact people are getting butthurt in the comments proves they know it’s true
Not during the play though, only during analysis
Chess dot com tells me what opening I played
(Because Lord knows I don’t)
I know how RuneScape’s bot detection works, and currently have an OSRS account that’s nearly maxed from nonstop botting over the last 6 months
Edit: I’m so confident (or maybe stupid) I’ll even share my progress: https://secure.runescape.com/m=hiscore_oldschool/hiscorepersonal?user1=nk best k
How many did you smoke?
I don’t have a Steam copy, unfortunately
Apparently the slow rollout was skipped (on Crowdstrike’s end) for this
Old servers. Also Crowdstrike took down Linux servers a few years ago.
Yup insider info they definitely don’t want public. Just confirmed the phone farms were to bypass rate limit, although they do use stuff like Selenium for API-less banks
More industry insight: walls of phones like this is how company’s like Plaid operate for connecting to banks that don’t have APIs.
Plaid is the backend for a lot of customer to buisness financial services, including H&R Block, Affirm, Robinhood, Coinbase, and a whole bunch more
Edit: just confirmed, they did this to pass rate limiting, not due to lack of API access. They also stopped 1-2 years ago
I work in a related space. There is no good solution. Companies are quickly developing DRM that takes full control of your device to verify you’re legit (think anticheat, but it’s not called that). Android and iPhones already have it, Windows is coming with TPM and MacOS is coming soon too.
Edit: Fun fact, we actually know who is (beating the captchas). The problem is if we blocked them, they would figure out how we’re detecting them and work around that. Then we’d just be blind to the size of the issue.
Edit2: Puzzle captchas around images are still a good way to beat 99% of commercial AIs due to how image recognition works (the text is extracted separately with a much more sophisticated model). But if I had to guess, image puzzles will be better solved by AI in a few years (if not sooner)
Fwiw, I don’t think the connection to communism was ever confirmed by the admins. Likely a happy accident for them
I use it all the time. It can even click on images/etc for more dynamic botting
Eh. Attacking public transportation is not based. It only promotes car dependence
