- TRcontrarian 6y agoFacebook Messenger is blocking me from sending any string containing the attacker's wallet address bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh. I'm trying to send blockchain explorer URL's to friends and it's failing.
- esperent 6y agoFacebook messenger has extremely sensitive filters. It seems to block most links I try to send. Most recently, I tried to send a GIF of a beautiful city on a river to my girlfriend. Nope, blocked. The link was a GIF sharing site, I don't remember which one, but it's highly unlikely there's any malware on it so it must be a porn filter. And as for sending links to my staging site to a couple of tech friends... forget about it.
- nexuist 6y agoHow would you write a regex that does this? How do you determine whether a string of characters is random?
- Blackthorn 6y agoThe classic way to do it is see how well it compresses, though that requires a certain minimum length.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoYou can probably calculate the entropy / randomness of a string via a fairly simple algorithm.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoReminds me of a thing years ago where a virus used a Twitter account's messages as its command & control system. Said twitter account encoded the commands in base64 I believe.
