They’re basically trying to find the time to create duplicate UUIDs. UUIDs are randomly generated and assumed to be so unique and actually random across… well, everything, that no one even checks if they’re actually unique. They suggested they found one in 5 hours. The only maybe possible way I could think of to do this legitimately is to use some ridiculously powerful computer and still get very lucky.
ITT people seem to assume that but no one has yet offered any amount of proof. I hope my company isn’t relying on everyone clicking “Maybe later” to prevent spying on professional messaging. That would be a huge lawsuit vector for Microsoft if that were the case. And if your company is cool with MS spying on messages, MS is going to spy on messages no matter what you click, and they were already doing it before any click.
I actually use it for creating thumbnails for a sorta niche application. The resulting files are quite small and the quality is fine. I do remember it being a pain in the ass to deal with ~10 years ago.
I’m at the Kali Linux peak but at least I’m smart enough to know that I don’t have the capability to do the social engineering aspect so I’m just gonna backtrack to Ubuntu and tie myself to the terminal and actually learn Linux.
I have an old laptop I use as a server, it sits on top of a cabinet in the corner of my room. One day I noticed it seemed like the space key was being held down all the time, but only past the login screen. I was about to buy a new laptop because I thought the keyboard was totally broken (and its kind of old anyway). Turns out an old Bluetooth keyboard in my closet that was paired to my laptop got switched on at some point and the space bar was being pressed.
