A synchronous callback is provided to another function which is going to do some task and then return to the caller with the task completed. An asynchronous callback is provided to another function which is going to start a task and then return to the caller with the task possibly not comp...
A format string attack involves misusing format functions like printf and sprintf in C programming language. If the format string is not properly sanitized, an attacker will exploit it to read arbitrary memory locations. Unicode overflow attacks Unicode overflow attacks happen when software inadequately...
This is a personal collection of snippets I use on client sites. Some are original, some highly modified or cobbled together from other sources, and some copied (only from open sources such as this.) I generally prefer not to use plugins for simple features and functions, especially if my ...
echo sprintf($text, $approved); First a correctly translated singular or plural string is stored in$text. Then this string is evaluated bysprintf()which replaces the specifier “%s” with the value of$approved. Using the following language file definitions msgid "%s comment approved" msgid_plur...

to err is human and it is not uncommon for developers to forget this basic rule. Code reviewers might miss such errors as well. That is why the safest basic method in C is to avoid the following five unsafe functions that can lead to a buffer overflow vulnerability:printf,sprintf,strcat,...
“match devices” function which I will share in the next post. That function however relies on the function I want to share here which is called changeDevice. There are roughly two ways to change a device in Domoticz, one where the device responds and acts and one where it is just an...
Just search the Windows SDK documentation (or rather in Visual Studio, which include forum answers like here or stackoverflow) or ask in the Windows SDK forum if you need to know if an API exists for a windows feature. The following is signature, not part of post Please mark the post ...
Sending (This use of auto_ptr could be considered overkill, but the technique is useful in more complex code, or in general, when you want to take the possibility of errors seriously): std::auto_ptr<CString> p(new CString("whatever")); ...
in machine instructions. It is error-prone as it is not easy to understand, and its maintenance is also very high. A machine-level language is not portable as each computer has its machine instructions, so if we write a program in one computer will no longer be valid in another computer...
