What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s? by Knossos in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

A few things I remember.

Nobody sanitised their inputs.

You could get through logins by making a database query check whether 1 = 1 instead of a password. You could put JavaScript into guest book fields to redirect people to whatever crazy site you wanted.

My university lecturer told me about a well known supermarket that built a shop front. They made it in such a way that you could change the numbers before they were submitted and it wasn't validated on the back end. So free food.

In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them. by Knossos in c/mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world

They exist in trials. The human danger is too great though I think. If the laser thinks your eye is a fly for a split second, game over for vision.

Open source Git repo owners with open licenses, how do you know your code is being used by a big corpo? by Knossos in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] Knossos@lemmy.world 70 points 2 years ago

You don't.

Unless it is publicised or an obvious bug exists in your code and you see the consequences of it in their system.

Germany may introduce conscription for all 18-year-olds by Knossos in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] Knossos@lemmy.world 73 points 2 years ago

It isn't just about the military. I've not read the article, but Germany suffers from not having enough people working in social services. This problem got worse after getting rid of conscription. You could either choose military service or social work.
