Re: public record of disciplinary action
Re: public record of disciplinary action I have given AlirezaNosrati a warning for trying to spread out bad rumours while doing a personal attack on one of the developers, without coming up with more facts which proves his post.He did that in post 18 in the following topic, and my warning is in post 19, explaining what he did wrong:https://forum.audiogames.net/post/425933/#p425933 URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/425934/#p425934 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Minefield concept demo
Re: Minefield concept demo AlirezaNosrati wrote:so charlie claimed a game for his own again? damn this guy will never change.Moderation!@AlirezaNosrati: The forum rules clearly says personal attacks and insulting is not allowed, and this is exactly what you are doing in this post. Let me explain this more clearly:1. You say Charlie claimed a game his own again, and then set it up as a question. Fair enough, this is not against the rules. But setting this up as a question the way you do it is not a good idea without any facts at all on why you think the game should not be his own game. You could have wrote your facts on why you don't think it is his own game, and then ask if it's true or not. By writing this as a question the way you do it, is like you conclude that this is the case, without asking. This is a way to spread bad rumours, no matter if that's what you are trying to do or not.2. You write the following: damn this guy will never change. This brakes the rules in the context in how you say this. Let me explain why:By saying that, you just confirms me that you already have made your own conclusion, still without any facts which proves what you are saying, and you are just trying to spread bad rumours while also doing a personal attack.Your English is actually good enough to have said this in a much nicer way if that's what you wanna do.For those reasons, I'm giving you a warning.Please watch your language in the future. If not, then you really need to come up with facts which proves what you are saying.

Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms
Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms @11 you do realize that moving the sound position like x -1 0 0 1 0 0 is not real stereo pan right? this engine uuses 3d positioning, so it's going to use other filters to compensate for y and z position as well. this isn't real stereo pan.anyway yeah, the security doesn't sound very good for this engine.

Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms
Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms @15There's a few posts around [here] that suggest its even easier than that, such as by renaming the *.exe to *.zip and just straight extracting it, unless they patched it since then. There's also some info [here] that mentions compiling into bytecode with luajit, source obfusticators, and compiling into the exe. Its not much more secure than most interpreted languages, or ultimately any source stored locally on the client. Generally though unless networking and or trolling is involved most people skilled enough won't care, and for anything else get a lawyer.

Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms
Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms
*NOTE*: this post is subjective. But my point of this post? Don't use LOVE for commercial products! Old post is below.Um... so looking at the way you distribute game executables with Love... are we sure that antivirus programs don't identify this is malicious? Apparently you supposedly create an executable by just appending a .love file (which is just a zip archive) onto the end of love.exe. That's all wonderful and all, but I see two major problems right off the bat:1. as zip is well-known, its not hard for someone to retrieve the header of a zip file. Knowing that, this makes it possible for someone to, say, extract the .love file from the executable file and then extract the .love file and get the code for the game. This is bad for commercial uses or for storing sensitive information (encryption keys, much?).2. Is this safe to transport? Do AV programs identify it as malicious? If so, then its pretty much BGT all over again.Update: Just scanned it with virus total. No engines found it malicious. (Source of analysis: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file-analy … MDg4OQ==). So that's good. But what about the zip extraction? (I'll use Aeternum Blammo for the below demonstration. As noted on the forum post where you can download it, the original developer has no interest (or no time) in maintaining it, and it doesn't even load in LOVE any longer, so it was a good experimental base.) The zip file format has four magic numbers: none, PK\x03\x04, PK\x05\x06 (empty), and PK\x07\x08 (spanned). Using PK\x03\x04, I found the possible location of the .love file at offset 0x5e400. Knowing that offset, all I need do is...Yep, it worked. So, here's exactly what I did:d:\>file Aeternum-Blammo_v1.0.exe
Aeternum-Blammo_v1.0.exe; PE32+ executable for MS Windows (GUI) Mono/.Net assembly

Some notes about this:* The file offset is [not] constant. That is, each "executable"-ized game will have a different offset.* The security for this is sad. Its sadder that you can't compile this to native code. I don't really understand why they couldn't have just used luajit and embedded luac... Maybe that's what lovec is for?

Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms
Re: Love2D: a simple, featureful game engine for most platforms
Um... so looking at the way you distribute game executables with Love... are we sure that antivirus programs don't identify this is malicious? Apparently you supposedly create an executable by just appending a .love file (which is just a zip archive) onto the end of love.exe. That's all wonderful and all, but I see two major problems right off the bat:1. as zip is well-known, its not hard for someone to retrieve the header of a zip file. Knowing that, this makes it possible for someone to, say, extract the .love file from the executable file and then extract the .love file and get the code for the game. This is bad for commercial uses or for storing sensitive information (encryption keys, much?).2. Is this safe to transport? Do AV programs identify it as malicious? If so, then its pretty much BGT all over again.Update: Just scanned it with virus total. No engines found it malicious. (Source of analysis: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file-analy … MDg4OQ==). So that's good. But what about the zip extraction? (I'll use Aeternum Blammo for the below demonstration.) The zip file format has four magic numbers: none, PK\x03\x04, PK\x05\x06 (empty), and PK\x07\x08 (spanned). Using PK\x03\x04, I found the possible location of the .love file at offset 0x5e400. Knowing that offset, all I need do is...Yep, it worked. So, here's exactly what I did (using Aeternum Blammo v1.0 from the Love wiki):d:\>file Aeternum-Blammo_v1.0.exe
Aeternum-Blammo_v1.0.exe; PE32+ executable for MS Windows (GUI) Mono/.Net assembly

If they won't help you, quit paying for that VPS and move on.Alternatively, you could get a Linux VPS. Linux is cheaper and extremely accessible because you're doing everything from the command line over SSH.

I assume you'd just have to unmute it from the system tray, but I have no idea how Windows server works.Alternatively, you could contact technical support if it's a VPS and explain you're blind and need assistance turning on audio. From that point, you should be able to press control+Windows+enter to start Narrator and use the browser to install NVDA. After that, install NVDA Remote and you should be able to control the server remotely using NVDA from your local computers.

Or do something so that if one process pauses the others will wipe the key and die?First: "If I do add code to auto generate a key, as long as it's not anything more than user convenience, how would I make sure the right person is decrypting the key?" You don't. That's the answer. You cannot determine who is decrypting your file and who is not without adding in internal tracking and all of that, and you'd need a remote service, and even that wouldn't be reliable. If you want that kind of control, you'll need something far more complex than simply encryption, something like ED DSA signing.Second: "Internet access, just, isn't reliable. You may have none, or you may be so filtered that you can't even access a service (unlikely) or it could take for ever and everyone might think that you're program is really slow and then you must deal with HTTP libs, and all that fun stuff." This is not true. AWS, for example, is well known for being very fast and responsive (does the fact that governments rely on AWS tell you something?). Furthermore, AWS has a Python SDK to interact with their APIs. They've got SDKs in many languages, in fact, that take care of the complex plumming for you. Its called botocore and boto3. Both of which you'll need. I'll provide an example after I'm done with this part. Plus, HTTP requests that involve small things such as retrieving crypto keys usually only take a few seconds, if not less than that.Third: "Maybe, just a silly idea maybe, you should do things multithreaded? And throw the key around? Or do something so that if one process pauses the others will wipe the key and die?" No. Just no. Not unless you want to master IPC and (somehow) securely pass the key between threads without causing data races, deadlocks, and so on. GCM is already parallelized -- there is absolutely no need, whatsoever, for you to attempt to parallelize it any more than it already is. Keep in mind that the more threads and/or processes that access sensitive data like crypto keys, the less secure the overall process environment is, purely because you are passing that sensitive data all over the place. That leaves traces everywhere, and for a language like Python... yeah, not a good idea.Now, for a sample of AWS SDKs...import boto3
import botocore
kms_client = boto3.Session(aws_access_key_id="key_id", aws_secret_access_key="access_key", region_name="region").client("kms")
# get a data key. Requires you to create a customer master key (CMK)
# either through the AWS console or through the API.
data_key = kms_client.generate_data_key(KeyId="key_id", NumberOfBytes=32)
assert len(data_key["Plaintext"])==32
# Get us a random nonce
nonce = kms_client.generate_random(NumberOfBytes=24)["Plaintext"]
assert len(nonce)==24
# replace write() with your actual file IO routines
write(nonce, 24)
write(data_key["CiphertextBlob"], len(data_key["CiphertextBlob"]))
# read data...

Re: Trying to get Love2D game working under Windows, works fine on Linux
Re: Trying to get Love2D game working under Windows, works fine on Linux Got it, thanks! Found a 32-bit Tolk.dll in my local installation of New Horizons.No one else showed for my meeting, so I skipped out early and fought through what was needed to get speech support working under Win32. I can confirm that, with the new speech.lua, my code ran unmodified under both Windows and Linux--at least, it runs under Wine.I think this engine is well worth checking out for anyone wanting to write audio games on multiple platforms but not wanting to find and assemble a set of working libraries.

Want to AirPlay or ChromeCast to a windows or Mac computer?
Want to AirPlay or ChromeCast to a windows or Mac computer? Hi,So I've been playing around with programs on windows and mac to allow ChromeCast/AirPlay to work on my windows or mac machine. The point? Allow me to wirelessly send audio from my iPad or iPhone to my pc without routing VoiceOver. The result? AirServer.One License costs $19.99. The license is for either windows or mac, you have to buy licenses separately. However, each license is activateable on unlimited windows and mac devices, and they have a bundle which gives you a $4 discount, $35. It has screen mirroring, with audio output selection. Works like a charm so far, no issues! Definitely check it out if you need something like this as I did.My usageI've got AirServer broadcasting to a Bluetooth speaker. The advantage of this is that I can have multiple things send to this speaker without reconnecting it individually to each device, and as I said before, VoiceOver will not come through the bt speaker itself, but through the iPhone's speaker.

Re: The Blank Game, revived!
Re: The Blank Game, revived! Is this in Hell or No Future mode? If it is, I had never tested those modes and it might be a bug I just never saw. Also, if you guys want, I can finish translating The Blank Game 1. All I needed was the Alternative Magic source which is already put together, and the sounds, which I have. I'd just need to play the entire game over again, but it's possible once I finish The Blank Game 2. It's getting closer, by the way. I'm now at the second visit to the Palador Hideout after the Manalyth Factory. SLIGHTSPOILERS.Below are some of the messages from Mysteries Of The Ancients and the introduction of the Dark Forest Full Of Pokemon, just so you can have a sneak preview.In Mysteries of the Ancients.Sierra: guys, I'm very worried about Demise or Domination. Can we please go check it out?Move: it's OK. Isn't the place run by Irodium?Sierra: it is, but I have 4 kids and my husband who's blind, and Leefox might beat Irodium! Garganchan: here's something I found out about 8 6 7 5 3 O 9 bombs. They're really just sounds, and sounds can't hurt humans. This is also life, so Irodium won't get hurt that bad.Step Instructor: want me to go and check out Demise or Domination for you? Sierra: we need to go, I can't take this!Move: we can go after Mysteries of the Ancients, OK? We only have 1 more paper left.Sierra: OK, we'll find the paper.After changing the last paper.Move: that's it, the last paper!Garganchan: stay alert, guys. There might be a booss.Sierra: I don't see a booss, but I do see some kind of giant rock.Step Instructor: is it just another giant?Earthquake sound.Garganchan: this, this is a Promol...Rock Throw attack sound.As I was saying before it threw a rock at me, this is a Promolder.It's used to guard places like this, and I bet Leefox put it here.Move: should we fight it off?Step Instructor: obviously! You may need my...Mudslide Attack sound.Garganchan: Step Instructor! Sierra: this is gunna be one heck of a fight. If I remember correctly from Manamon, this will do 2 times the damage!Freeze Attack sound.Move: yes! Sierra, you have the best magic attack stat out of the 3 of us. Use Freeze Attack while we take the damage and dodge!After the fight.Sierra: that was a lot of magical fighting!Garganchan: OK, now that's done. Sierra: is it safe to revive Jenny now?Author: it's Step Instructor! I want you to stop using real names, and that includes all names. Example: on the forum, my name is Boy. In this game, I am Author because I developed this game.Revival sound.Step Instructor: where am, I? The booss?Move: the booss was defeated.Step Instructor: Mudslide is, one of my major, weaknesses.Sierra: let's get out of here before another Promolder finds us...Author: speaking of Promolder and Earth attacks, I think I'll give you this!Sierra: I'll go check on Demise or Domination. Who wants to go to the forest?Garganchan: I'm going to Demise or Domination, I've helped her once already and I wanna continue! Plus, Deciced is weak to all my attacks and has a double weakness to my new Power Kick!Move: Jenny and I will go to the forest, then.Step Instructor: Move, remember what the Author said? Use our given names (the names given to us by the Author).Move: right, let's go.Now, in the forest.Move: this place is huge, and their's no map!Step Instructor: where are the Pokemon? I see exactly 0 Pokemon here.Move: well, how about we do this. I'll go search and destroy anything that comes up on this road to the left of the entrance. How about you climb up their and wait for Leefox?Step Instructor: OK, I'll surprise him with a nice Step Kick Combo or something when he gets here.Now, in the Bioplace.After the phone call finishes.Banyardan: I've picked up some Pokemon. Are we ready to go?Leefox: yeh, let's go! Trump will never get past our Pokeys!Banyardan: Leefox, can't you just say Pokemon?Leefox: nope, I like to call them our Pokeys. Anyway, let's hop into the What Does The Fox Say car and get going. Banyardan: let's get moving, Pokemon! So, they arrived. Leefox was just about to get out of the car when something jumped out at him from the entrance and knocked him to the ground. Banyardan, not realizing this, took the Pokemon and went to the left. When Leefox opened his eyes again, he saw nothing. Until,So you didn't see me coming, 8 6 7 5 3 O Fox?Leefox: Jenny!Step Instructor: remember the name rule, Leefox. Either way, I gave you 75 Basics.Leefox: 75? 75 Basics! How did you get past my good defense!Step Instructor: good defense? I wouldn't exactly call 90 defense at level 45 good.Leefox: well I have 9500 HP, 110 attack, 100 magic attack, and 105 speed! I also have Earthquake, Gammadrain, Berserk Branch, Strongest Bang (added in 1.0), Ice Tempest, Blaze Rampage, Power Kick, and best of all, 867-5309!Step Instructor: 867-5309 is an attack?Leefox: yeh, it is! Just so I can get rid of you! Habakabakabakabakabakababababakakakakabaka!Step Instructor: well then, where are your Pokemon

Trying to get Love2D game working under Windows, works fine on Linux
Trying to get Love2D game working under Windows, works fine on Linux Hey folks, I'm trying to port my Love2D speech code over to Windows and am having a few issues. Things work fine under Linux, and I lifted some Tolk Lua FFI code from Pokeymon Crystal Access, but thus far things aren't working at all under Windows.I'll skip over my battles with the graphics on my VM. I thought I'd create a test game and try running it under my 32-bit Wine prefix. So I grabbed 32-bit Love2D and the Tolk DLLs from here:https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/dk … nch=masterI then copied the DLLs out of the x86 directory into my game's directory and tried running it, but Wine threw an "EXE format error: %1" when trying to load Tolk.dll.It's almost as if the Tolk DLLs in the x86 directory are corrupt, though I've downloaded them twice now. I'm actually wondering if the DLLs in the x86 directory are 64-bit, and indeed someone at least got to a black screen running my game under 64-bit Love, but I don't know how to tell if a DLL is 32-bit or 64-bit.Are these Tolk DLLs getting incorrectly packaged in the wrong directory, and should I file a Tolk issue? Or am I on the wrong path with this?I'll update this thread as the debugging progresses, but I have to break for a meeting and won't be able to get back to this for a bit. Thanks for any help.

Re: Let's share some useful Python code
Re: Let's share some useful Python code Hi,Thanks for once again helping.Line 9. That's not actually used anywhere, I figured it would maybe fool a newbie who is just looking for easy sounds into thinking they've got the nonce, Line 11. Oops, easy fix.In generate, that code is trying to make sure that the resulting data is a multiple of 16 bytes long so that I can pass it to encrypt.Though, if it's a stream I probably don't need that code but the extra characters are ignored when loading the pack so it doesn't matter.Using a hash is probably 5% more secure than just passing the key, at least someone will have to hash the key before decrypting. Anyway, it's better than just adding a character to the end of the key until it's the right length, because that might make brute forcing more effective if someone can see the source for this script.When looking for the Nonce, I read backward 16 characters from the end of a file.Since I called the os.urandom() or what ever it is with 16, as long as it was put at the end of the file, finding the Nonce is reliable as long as no one puts data in there and ruins there pack file in the process.If I do add code to auto generate a key, as long as it's not anything more than user convenience, how would I make sure the right person is decrypting the key?Internet access, just, isn't reliable. You may have none, or you may be so filtered that you can't even access a service (unlikely) or it could take for ever and everyone might think that you're program is really slow and then you must deal with HTTP libs, and all that fun stuff.Maybe, just a silly idea maybe, you should do things multithreaded? And throw the key around? Or do something so that if one process pauses the others will wipe the key and die?Just an idea.

Re: can't play the Troopanum games on my windows 10 pc Part of the problem of a sticky topic though, is there isn't a definite fix for this. I've tried running as admin, I've tried running from the run dialogue, I've tried monkeying with compatibility mode settings and the like and nothing works. its odd, I think the BSC games are literally the only xp era titles I've tried that haven't worked correctly on windows 10, and even among those, hunter still works fine.

Re: what's the best way to learn an additional language @Dark Eagle: I can't say I do, sorry. The one I'm going through is based on the ideas by Michel Thomas, but googling him and his methods brings up a bunch of criticism in regards to how effective it really is. Still, I reckon it works as a decent start if nothing else. Maybe google "Michel Thomas Japanese" and see what comes up?

Re: Accessible Sound Design - First Lesson Up, Interaction Ending 13/4 The first and fourth band are set to low and high shelf respectively. You will have to change them to band. I usually end up deleting them all so there is one band, then adding more as I need them. Anyway, it's an EQ, so set the frequency around which the band is to be centered, then changes to the gain will have the effect you desire. Changes to the bandwidth will adjust the size of the chunk of frequencies surrounding the center frequency you selected. So, when it's lower, you're either boosting or attenuating by a smaller chunk.A lot of people seem to have this issue, so let me try to explain what this thing is actually doing. If you've ever used a mixer, which I know a lot of y'all have, you'll no doubt have seen the EQ section. Normally it's like 3 or 5 band, unless you have a really professional board. When you turn on the EQ, you then can move those bands up and down. Each band represents a frequency range, but you can't change them. So, imagine in reaper that you have this same setup, except you actually can change the frequencies each band operates on. It's letting you sort of build your own EQ. To tie the analogy to the practical work we're doing, imagine that you set up each of those 4 bands. Each band is set to type band in that combobox, and the gain and bandwidth are untouched. You set the first frequency to 60Hz, the second to 200, the third to 1,000, and the fourth to maybe 6,500. Now, switch to band 1 and mess with the gain, what you're doing is moving that fader on the EQ on the imaginary mixer I'm using at a metaphorical device. So, you can switch to each band, and play with the gain, and this is the same as if you just went over to that mixer, and moved each one of the faders. The other stuff in ReaEQ just lets you customize the way the EQ works. You get to tune each one of those faders to something that works for your situation. No ambiguous labels like bass, mid, treble.I hope that helps to sort of build a mental image about how this is working. Bandwidth and frequency are just tools to set up the faders on your virtual EQ the way you like, and gain is you moving those actual faders. This isn't a filter, where sweeping the frequency range will produce results in the same way. You might hear changes if you have a very high level of gain added or cut out, but it will be harder to hear if you're only working in increments like +3dB or -3dB.

Re: Accessible Sound Design - First Lesson Up, Interaction Ending 13/4
Re: Accessible Sound Design - First Lesson Up, Interaction Ending 13/4 So I have Reaper running, I have been using it for several days now, learning the ins and outs. I inserted Brian's audio track for assignment 1, it plays fine. When I go to add EQ, the only option I have under the EQ folder is ReaEQ, I have adjusted several parameters in there, with no change to the audio. I can put other effects on there such as reverb with no problems. I looked at all parameters that are labeled for ReaEQ, and everything seems to be in order. Although there are a few buttons in there that aren't labele, so I'm thinking I'm not seeing something important.Any ideas why this isn't affecting the audio? Also, is this the EQ you guys are using, or am I missing something? I have 4 bands in there, and I've tried adjusting them all, as well as the overall gain, but nothing. Any help greatly appreciated. If anyone has any help for my previous comment, that would be appreciated as well.

The hash may be too large for the cipher your using, for example. SHA-256 is good but still...AES allows keys up to 128, 192, and 256 bits, which is 16, 24, and 32 bytes. I'm not sure how hashing the key is any more secure than just passing the key as plaintext.Also, don't delete the nonce. The nonce is a number used once. Its supposed to be public. People are supposed to know about it. The key is the one you want deleted. Even so, Python offers no safe way to zero memory, so this library still leaks data, and would even if you had patched every security vulnerability it had purely because its not written in C/C++.Second, lines 91-98: searching for the nonce like this isn't the wisest idea since you don't know if pycryptodome has already added the nonce or not. It could, though this level most likely doesn't. You also risk getting odd data in there. Generally how I do it is I write the nonce in the file first, then append the encrypted data to the end of the nonce. So this is how it works for decryption:* Read() call: read the first 24 bytes into memory; this is the nonce. (The encryption library I use uses a 24-byte nonce.)* read() call: read the next 32 bytes into memory; this is the encrypted key. (This is optional but recommended if you can figure out a solution for secure storage.)* Send the encrypted key (base-64 encoded, possibly) to a remote service for decryption and get back the plaintext.* Initialize the cryptographic context with the retrieved nonce and key. Immediately zero-out the key.* Begin reading the file in 'blocks', with each 'block' being 8,192 bytes in length. Decrypt each chunk and do with it what you like.* Repeatedly read until no more data is available. Stop just before the last 16 bytes end of the file.* Read these 16 bytes.

The first is called a generate data key request. The request contains the following elements:- the Key ARN, which is in the form arn:aws:kms:region:account_id:key/key_id, where region is a region like us-east-1, us-east-1a, etc., account_id is the ID for your account, and key_id is a GUID identifying your key.- The length of the data key, which is usually 32-bytes for AES-256.You will get back:- The encrypted key. Keep this around for now in secure memory.- The plaintext copy of the key. Again, keep this around in secure memory; you'll need it soon.The second request is called a generate random request. This will get you your nonce. This only has one required field, the number of bytes. Set this to 24. Get back your nonce, and get the plaintext from the buffer. Now is probably a good time to add run-time assertions that your plaintext key is, in fact, 32 bytes, and that your nonce is, in fact, 24 bytes.* Set up your buffers.

Verify that this is indeed possible.* Write your nonce, then your encrypted key, to the output file. Don't use any deliminator.* Then, begin reading and encrypting the file in chunks. If writing to disk, immediately write to the output buffer (which should be a file output stream) the encrypted data -- you won't be able to after the next steps.* Verify that your not at the end of the input stream.

Line 9.Line 11: change this to self.level = level, so that the alteration of the level changes.I'm not sure what your doing in generate(), with the following lines of code: requiredlength=range(len(data), len(data)+16, 16)[-1] while len(data)Also, hashing the key does not ensure that the user can pass in arbitrary key lengths. The hash may be too large for the cipher your using, for example. AES allows keys up to 128, 192, and 256 bits, which is 16, 24, and 32 bytes. I'm not sure how hashing the key is any more secure than just passing the key as plaintext.Also, don't delete the nonce. The nonce is a number used once. Its supposed to be public. People are supposed to know about it. The key is the one you want deleted. Even so, Python offers no safe way to zero memory, so this library still leaks data, and would even if you had patched every security vulnerability it had purely because its not written in C/C++.Second, lines 91-98: searching for the nonce like this isn't the wisest idea since you don't know if pycryptodome has already added the nonce or not. It could, though this level most likely doesn't. You also risk getting odd data in there. Generally how I do it is I write the nonce in the file first, then append the encrypted data to the end of the nonce. So this is how it works for decryption:* Read() call: read the first 24 bytes into memory; this is the nonce. (The encryption library I use uses a 24-byte nonce.)* read() call: read the next 32 bytes into memory; this is the encrypted key. (This is optional but recommended if you can figure out a solution for secure storage.)* Send the encrypted key (base-64 encoded, possibly) to a remote service for decryption and get back the plaintext.* Initialize the cryptographic context with the retrieved nonce and key. Immediately zero-out the key.* Begin reading the file in 'blocks', with each 'block' being 8,192 bytes in length. Decrypt each chunk and do with it what you like.* Repeatedly read until no more data is available. Stop just before the last 16 bytes end of the file.* Read these 16 bytes. This is your message authentication code (MAC). Verify it. Generally you do this by reading that 16-byte stream into a buffer and passing that buffer to the context finalization function.And this is how it works for encryption:* Set up an AWS KMS client and provide AWS credentials. (Replace this with a service you trust, I'd go with AWS since their well-known for their integrity and security.)* Send two remote requests to AWS. Verify that each one completes. The first is called a generate data key request. The request contains the following elements:- the Key ARN, which is in the form arn:aws:kms:region:account_id:key/key_id, where region is a region like us-east-1, us-east-1a, etc., account_id is the ID for your account, and key_id is a GUID identifying your key.- The length of the data key, which is usually 32-bytes for AES-256.You will get back:- The encrypted key. Keep this around for now in secure memory.- The plaintext copy of the key. Again, keep this around in secure memory; you'll need it soon.The second request is called a generate random request. This will get you your nonce. This only has one required field, the number of bytes. Set this to 24. Get back your nonce, and get the plaintext from the buffer. Now is probably a good time to add run-time assertions that your plaintext key is, in fact, 32 bytes, and that your nonce is, in fact, 24 bytes.* Set up your buffers. One is your input, one is your output, and one is your MAC.* Set up a cryptographic context and initialize it with your nonce and key. Just as with decryption, immediately wipe the key from RAM. (The context will manage its own safe deallocation, but you need to manage yours too.)* Open your input file and attempt to read from it. Verify that this is indeed possible. Then, begin reading and encrypting the file in chunks. If writing to disk, immediately write to the output buffer (which should be a file output stream) the encrypted data -- you won't be able to after the next steps.* Verify that your not at the end of the input stream. If the stream is bad, finalize the crypto stream, clean up and terminate; this means an error occurred. Do not write the MAC!* No matter whether your done or not, immediately zero out the input buffer so you don't keep using up RAM.* One your done reading the input, finalize the context, write the MAC, and close the input and output streams. Then clean up AWS and all that.You don't have to do it this way. But this is a very safe way of storing data that may be potentially sensitive.That's all I can recommend; I think Cartertemm might have more advice. Perhaps I've gotten some details wrong, perhaps my method is incorrect. Feel free to educate me too -- just telling you how I generally do things!

Re: what's the best way to learn an additional language
Re: what's the best way to learn an additional language I mostly learned English by interpreting what exactly is the computer trying to tell me, because from the person whom I learned, she told me that it is important to listen to everything and understand them rather than just expecting same things.of course watching English dubbed anime also helped.@alexN94do you know the listening/repeating courses for Japanese?

Re: Self defence
Re: Self defence Uh, didn't really expect my post to bring you guys off topic, sorry.Well, until now, what I'm thankful for after that experience is the strength it immensely gave me. It may not be pleasant, not at all to be honest, but the fact that I endured it sorta build a emotion shield in me. I may have been much weaker and much more of a loser in life without that. However, I never want this sorta thing to happen to anyone.I've always been a troubled child, being bullied, made fun of and rejected until later in my teen years. I'm a crazy sleeper in class, attentionless, dreamy, spent most of my school time writing bs novels instead of focusing. From high school onward, people started to be drawn toward me because of the abilities I possess that they don't have, and later become my friends.I don't deny my parents did break a few things, but I actually have better parents compared to most. They love each other, love the family and love me with hearts and souls. I'm very close to my dad. He was the one encouraging me to study traditional flute and lute. He took me to the blind center often so I could get new books to read. He built up passion to write in me. I was fortunate to find my passion much earlier than kids my age. In a sense, I may have to thank the trauma for leading me to something I was robbed from. Who knows, I would have lost in a crowd of friends or influenced heavily by people, unable to find my sense of self I hold so dear without that painful childhood experience.

Re: This forum's copyright and cracks discussion problem The thing is, I think the language barrier is the biggest thing people exploit here. Yes, the forum is meant to be accommodating to all, but this particular leniency that goes along with language barrier seems to be stretched by certain users. he certainly knows enough English to know what no, and stop mean. he has demonstrated a lack of caring and of respect for developers and their right to protect their works. At some point, sorry to say, but the benefit of the doubt runs out, as there is little doubt regarding the intention.

Re: Monthly chat April 2019
Re: Monthly chat April 2019 @Dark:it is so nice to hear about your musical adventures.as for me, I recently saw a show on TV, (I have exams, why am I watching TV?) so there is this guy who gave his girlfriend his e mail ID and the password, the ID he used on his phone.so, once his girlfriend asks him to bye a purse, and he refuses. so she in return, plays havoc on his phone. causing it to reset remotely, and changing the password of his ID.all this because of a purse. anyway, the general jist which I got from this story is that never give that kind of information to your girlfriend, or really, any other friend.anyway, two of my exams got postponed, so instead of finishing at the date of 24, they will stretch up to the 30 april.
