National Party attacks accessibility for disabled people

The National Party is repealing the Plain Language Act. This Act was
intended to ensure government documents are easy to understand.
Fascism is unappealing in plain language.
Deception, Obfuscation & Misdirection
This is a concatenation of posts I originally made in 2016-2017--even more relevant today...
Most are familiar with the concept of #FUD—short for #Fear, #Uncertainty & #Doubt. It summarizes a strategy often used in marketing and political propaganda. Its effects are pernicious, divisive and lead to exploitation. Examples abound. Fear is a strong motivator! To resist FUD one must understand how it is practiced using the principles of #Deception, #Obfuscation and #Misdirection.

NY Times: "DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes
The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations."

What is wrong with this picture? Guys who are neither intellectually curious nor paying attention when the teacher talks about subtleties of grammar because they’re extorting children of their coins, are now in charge, think AI is the automated slave. Remember they only recognize two genders: men and rapists.

Moreover, if you ask #Google #Gemini about the current #Political situation and a second #TrumpPresidency, it will refuse to answer questions about politics. #GoogleHasAnAgenda and is #Complicit with the rise of #Totalitarianism and #Fascism. #GeminiLies through #Obnubiliation, #Obfuscation, and #Omission
@flexghost The frightening and sad thing is that #Google #Gemini refuses to confirm or comment. #ChatGPT provided the answer. @Google and #Gemini have an #Agenda to #Censor and shape #PoliticalSpeech through #Obfuscation and #Omission
So this is my knowledge college in #malware development and #obfuscation that I highly recommend.
Like I said in the YouTube video, I strongly recommend to follow the exercises in the books and decompile your own work with GHIDRA.
From personal experience, I will tell you there is no shortcut to #reverseengineering and low-level programming.
If you are used to writing Python scripts, at some point you will need to understand C and Assembly and the other way around.

@MennoWolff @sidereal @signalthirteen @rmblaber1956 @lednabwm @Willow @jhavok @antonioserrata @athyHans Let's be clear, there is a radical difference between #ChangingPositions and the intentional #Manipulation #Tergiversation #Obnubilation and #Obfuscation that is rampant with todays #GOP and #PoliticalEntrepreneurs
No, they didn't. Why should they?Whatever happened to the poor child, abandoned at home alone with her siblings, remains a mystery. The british media years long onus on the portuguese police is truly dumbfounding considering how closed (and self imposed) on itself most british immigrant communities live in Portugal. Especially in Algarve. And in Praia da Luz. Not to mention british police -and british government - closely involved in the investigation from the start. #BBC #fakenews #obfuscation
worth noting - all those who are threatening to abolish #DOJ #FBI directly benefited from the calculated #delay, #obfuscation and #denial of the #facts. The American people on the other hand face an end to #democracy. The relentless measures to undermine #freespeech #VotingRights #CivilLiberties and more, are clear.
Reverse Engineering Tiktok's VM Obfuscation (Part 1)
Dropped a new blog post where I detail the start of my journey into TikTok's VM based obfuscation.
So far only covers the discovery of the script and how I dumped strings from each "program"
Hi! Figured I would show everyone what I've been working on for my introduction. Looking forward to making tons of friends here :)
Been reverse-engineering TikTok / Douyin's VM based web security in my free time. Got to a point where I'm able to extract strings from the bytecode. Here's a few cool dumps
