: Where are backdoors /security flaws from ?
In: Technology
backdoors are intentionally built in, usually for development and diagnostic purposes. and sometimes unintentionally forgot to be removed for release.
security flaws from…hackers discovering new and inventive ways to attack systems. whether it be sending in special data, sending multiple data sets at once, or coordinated attacks.
boss tells you “i need you to program a feature that when the input is is a formula expression X, the output will be the value of the expression” i.e. when X is “2+5*2” then output will be “12”
ok that sounds simple. rather than try to run thru a whole algorithm of parsing the expression, i’m going to be quick about it so i can do other projects. I’ll just run this function that’s built into the programming language called evaluate(). it’ll take the thing and just run up the math for me. done.
yea…except evaluate() also runs more than just math expression. it runs programming commands. allows you to read data, send data.
