I guess you could add some
sleep(1)inbetweenNeeds to be a
sleep(3)andsleep(5)between the last ones just to add suspensesleep $(( 1 + $RANDOM % 5 ))No it has to be controlled suspense.
Needs a 99% print too just before the 5 second sleep. Followed by a 99.9% and another 2 second sleep. Never print 100 and just run a traceroute in a loop.
Followed by a “we’re in” from the hacker as we’re made to believe he’s reading the console spam like he’s Neo from the matrix as he types faster and faster into an unresponsive terminal window.
This is Python. It’s already show enough.
Ooof starting the day with violence I see
“One troll a day keeps the intelligent people away”
That’s not python
It’s valid Python code though, the semicolons will run but are unnecessary
I am so perplexed and horrified. I’m going to need several weeks to get over this. What is this?!
A way to have several statements on the same line?
It seems I had semicolons confused with braces:
if picture is broken, it’s this:
~ $ python -c "from __future__ import braces" File "<string>", line 1 SyntaxError: not a chanceGuido undoubtedly had a strong, strong hatred of the number of ways braces are overloaded in Perl.
Do you really want an example?
sub doHref { { do { ${someglobal{Href}} = {} }; last }; }Every single pairing there serves a different syntactic purpose. Some are related purposes, and I’ve crowbarred a few in unnecessarily for the sake of an example, but different nonetheless.
The outer pair declares the
sub, and the next pair is a free block that works as a once-through unlabelled loop, which is exited with thelast. (Most other languages usebreakfor this purpose.)The next pair are for the
dowhich doesn’t act as a loop like the free block does. The next innermost pairing wrap a variable and the inner, innermost pairing indicate that the variable is a member of a hash (associative array) and we’re accessing the record namedHref.The lone
{}indicates a hash reference, so we’re assigning a reference to an empty, anonymous hash to that hash record.This example is ridiculous of course. There’s no need for most of those braces and syntax to do what it actually does. Also assigning to global variables is generally frowned upon.
sub doHref { $someglobal{Href} = {} }… is equivalent and cuts out most of the guff. Still three different uses though.
What is this?!
Python
Blasphemy!
Yeah but it wasnt intended to be python
Maybe we should call the meme police then
On xav?
what about the sleeps between each print?
where’s the comments?
why isn’t it DRY?
3/10 code, PR rejected.
where’s the comments?
// this prints 80%
This is python
Python with semicolons? I mean I guess it’ll run but why
For the POWER of doing something UNNECESSARY because you CAN
You know hackers in the movies are very polite and care for their user. When they are hacking or wiping the disk they show proper progress. That is much better user experience than many corporate products. Be like hackers in the movie.
Ransomware has better tech support and customer service than your cell phone provider or ISP.
Their profits come from actual “customers”. They can’t just layoff half of their work force and use stock buybacks to make the line go up. Shit has to actually work.

The Hollywood command is effortless and runs on terminal
Did he type the furiously on to the keyboard? No? Then it’s not hacking.
I have seen like 2 movies where the hacker just ran a script and danced around the room until the progress bar got to the top, then he hit a couple inputs and ran another script and went back to dancing. It was so surreal to see something so much closer to real than the feverish hammering in a keyboard.
ah yeah, I’m always dancing when hacking gov systems
Which movies?
There’s also The Core where the hacker says “yea, I can do it”, demands unlimited hot pockets and all of Xena Warrior Princess on VHS, then locks himself up in his room.,
Classic! Sometimes I call it up just to enjoy that feeling.
have you seen who runs the fbi? this’ll probably work irl
It takes skill to hack such an organization using only printf
You’d be surprised how versatile that one thing is. Or, should I say, how much abuse it gets at ioccc…
The hacking in Mr Robot looked more authentic, I really liked it. But they usually just executed some random scripts without printouts lol.
I’ve been hacking the world this whole time!
behind the scenes: youtube video of a python loop
But look how much effort he put into ricing his terminal this guy’s good.
Yeah, few people know that the FBI tells you the progress when hacking them.
“ChatGPT, write me a program to hack the FBI”
Prints a long summary with hallucinations
what HP printers really do
In Soviet Russia, print() statement runs on printer.
Guys, you can’t just come in here and post exactly how hackimg works.
That’s illegal!!1!
