All it takes is some badly written code like the "heartbleed" bug or the "nntp bug" where nobody noticed old code that didn't check things properly that the spooks found and used."zero day" ... there's plenty of those left and if you can exploit them to leverage because some dumbass decades ago coded up "strcpy (source, destination)" without checking for buffer overflows, bastards were IN there by stuffing it with too much and then writing to the overflow space. strncpy(source, destination, ONLY SO MANY EXPECTED CHARACTERS AND NOT ONE MORE); saves the day. SO many badly written lines of codes back when nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition. That's why it's taken us so many years to make it work properly. Time to google, son. :) |
