Twitter has become a hive of racism and hate that is a shadow of its former self. I literally can't keep racist slurs from my homepage, if you think musk has improved it since he took over man so I have a bridge to sell you


One party agreed their old candidate was losing it, the other did not so your both sides argument already falls apart

Confusing insane asylums and refugee asylum by way of talking about Hannibal Lecter points in a completely different direction than what you've stated.


Anyone who has seen an old video of Trump speaking in the 80s - 90s and compared it to today knows that his mental function is impaired by age.


I think no change across 40 years of life is not what either of us meant. But How does 2020 Biden hold up to this test you came up with?

Impaired by age is impaired by age. Don't try to move the goalposts. If you meant something more specific, you should have been more specific.

But How does 2020 Biden hold up to this test you came up with?

See above. I didn't come up with anything. 2020 Biden was fine. As for 2024 Biden, I don't care if he was a head in a jar, he and his cabinet were doing great.


Goalpost moving? Does this sound like 2020 Biden to you? https://youtu.be/0_v00iGJCLY?feature=shared


Lol what do you define as the "dei era" ? I think if during any timeframe 95% of new hires were non white people would notice. This is the real nonsense


Yeah, the lack of a source makes it clear this is BS.

It's based in a bit of truth. Yes, there were 300,000 jobs created in 2021, and 94% did go to people of color. However, these were non-professional roles (service workers, laborers) that were coming back as COVID died down.

As far as new executive, managerial and professional roles, the share of people of color increased by just 2%.

So which is it? Is it clear that it's BS, or is it "based a bit in truth"?

Do you think that all white people are executives and professionals, such that they don't need laborer/service jobs?


The US weathered the recession better than nearly any developed nation so the idea that we aren't economically dominant is hilarious


Funny enough this engine is based off the same one they used in Diablo immortal which also has this issue


The patching process sends python byte code for hot fixes


Well yes, people are addicted to this content so of course they'll seek out alternatives. People want to be distracted by pretty pictures and funny stories and someone telling them their opinions are right


I can't help but roll my eyes at "serious issues" you know in most states these anti trans laws were passes targeting handfuls of children in each state, sometimes a single child. But oh yes that's a serious issue for sure right now


January 6th was an excuse for pence to not certify so in the fight for certification it would be thrown to the supreme Court that trump owns


Ea loves using generic systems across all their games. When poking around at Madden I found they have a common backend called blaze that has generic web and tcp endpoints. We built out a tool to call these endpoints (having to upload xml) and only later found out that every time we made the call it was crashing their servers but since we were grabbing a new server each request we were crashing all of their madden servers one by one. They ended up building an API to discourage people poking around


Blaze is the name of the C++ framework/service to build custom backend for online games. It allows game team to developp online features in a standard way, it's backed by MySQL.

From what I remember you need roughly one Blaze instance for 5k/10k players.


not to be confused with “blaze” the PHP backend used for Respawn games. Who are also owned by EA.


Hey, author of the article here! I actually wrote one last year on a ton of Blaze exploits I've found, but didn't end up releasing it. It uses a proprietary format now, and it seems they were very comfortable with security through obscurity by assuming no one would figure out how to interface with it. Hopefully I'll get back around to that post one day, there's some fun stuff to say the least.


Unfortunately the security by obscurity is backed up by "If a user exploits this, it's a crime and we just contact our legal team." I have seen this happen even in Sweden, local student 16 years old [1] figures out state has a big hole in their school system. He tells state about it and they do nothing so he tries to log in with the admin password he found in a file on his computer. They call the police.

Heya, infosec nerd and titanfall fan here. Can you elaborate on the bit where apex was referred to as titanfall3? I didn't notice anything about apex in the accompanying JSON in that section of the writeup.


Yeah, it isn't obvious from that section, but I know it's referring to apex because its oauth client ID also has "TITANFALL3" in it.


lol, I think I saw this API recently for another game. It’s a GraphQL frontend right? They disabled introspection but their error messages will helpfully offer suggestions for misspelled field names

BTW, pro-tip when reversing APIs of popular services like this: use GitHub code search! Put some unique endpoint names into it and see what comes up. You’ll often find some kindred spirits who have hacked their own little API clients to do something you never even thought about, but which nevertheless helps you advance along your own quest…



Lots of great and practical advice in that post, much of which I’ve used in the past.


Thumbing through iterations of PSN client IDs, attempting to sign in to the EA gateway proxy returns 'namespacename' value that's pulled from personal data. 2F-A token info should be hashed in /tokeninfo/ endpoint pulled from JUNO.

Attempting to integrate, post-ex-facto - infrastructure for a C++ API would return the PSN user id.
