People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!
- Character sets are really interesting! In this situation, it is taking advantage of characters that have zero width (aka, they are not seeable characters!).
- With these two zero-width characters, it was really easy to make a binary system: one of the characters was a '1' while the other was a '0'.
- He added these zero-width characters to create a character encoding. These characters were added to the text of a message board, with their username.
- Based upon this, the author was able to find the snitch, leaving the data, on the message board.
- Again, character encodings are quite interesting :) What we see, may not be what the computer sees.
