I'm not assuming that, but then you can't assume the memory is sufficient either. If the string is from network or user, then you can never assume the buffer to be of sufficient size (which they definitely do, because they aren&#x

Well... If dst is larger than src, the strcpy* family of functions will also copy over the null byte. If dst is shorter than src, and if strlen(src) is used as arg for strncpy then the function will overflow in dst and your null byte will a

using strlen(src) is also an amateur mistake, because the whole point of doing that (stncpy family, ensuring dst ends with null) is that dst might not be large enough to fit string from src. It has to be the size of dst, which can only be k

It is anything but shady. They can send you a C&D or file a suit and seek injunction but there is no way they can get you in trouble with the law for scraping publicly available data.

why aren't Larry and Sergey behind bars, then? Scraping publicly available information is far from illegal. Also, Interestingly only Alibaba's bots are completely blocked from crawling: https://www.amazon.com/robot
