Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Damnit YouTube, I'm subscribed to this channel, suggest more of this instead of prank videos Thanks for sharing it here
Its all going perfect, then right at the end they hide some sensitive info from the shadow file using what looks like a gaussian blur. Given that the presenter specializes in image processing he should be tearing his hair out at how easy it would be to apply a deconvolution and read the obscured text.
Maybe the next video should be on deconvolution.
Reminds me if my days reading"smashing the stack for fun and profit" and learning about printf() stack and double free() heap overflows. Some pretty innocuous stuff can provide a huge security hole...
Awesome stuff, really interesting seeing the details laid out so clearly and with a live demo even. Definitely interested to see more stuff like this if anyone knows of any.
