I've set a "trap" myself years ago in code in a novel solution at the time for uploading photos from iOS non-interactively after the fact. It was to support disconnected field workers taking photos from iPhones/iPads, with the payloads uploaded at a later date.
Chunked form data constructed in userland JS was the solution. Chunk separator was 17 dashes in a row (completely arbitrary), company name in 1337 speak, plus 17 more dashes.
Found a competitor that had copied the code, changing only the 1337 speak part. 17 dashes remained on each side. Helped me realize that they had unminified and indeed ripped off our R&D work.
Wonder if Copilot could be gamed the same way.
- peteradio 3y agoHow did you manage to find that your competitor copied your code?

- jschrf 3y agoYeah. The feature set offerred by the competitor was similar to ours, and we went through the wringer building that solution, so i unminified their code and sure enough...it easn't exactly theirs. Oh yeah and they ripped off our website too. That was the first clue haha.
