Sep 07 18:08:58 <Marex> m3h ....
Sep 07 18:09:13 <Marex> the cellular connection sucks in train
Sep 08 02:10:49 <jordancason> can some one explain how code can get executed in a memory leak.
Sep 08 02:11:29 <mekius> I think you're in the wrong place, this channel is about handheld development
Sep 08 02:12:56 <jordancason> in specific i'm referring to how the blue-tooth exploit works on the droid? still the wrong place?
Sep 08 02:15:50 <mekius> I'd say yes
Sep 08 02:16:02 <mekius> But depends on what you want to do with said exploit I guess heh
Sep 08 02:18:33 <mekius> And I think the memory leak is not the right term, most of these exploits are buffer overflows
Sep 08 02:18:59 <jordancason> i dont plan to do anything really but to learn how this works and tamper with my own devises
Sep 08 02:19:12 <mekius> Memory leaks are generally just annoying, not necessarily a security issue
Sep 08 02:20:37 <jordancason> ok thats one reason i was asking it was a term used on the net buy a grup and i never really new that it could be used to right data to the sys like a buffer overflow
Sep 08 02:21:24 <jordancason> have you ever dun any playful tinkering with buffer overflows your self?
Sep 08 02:21:41 <mekius> I don't know anything about this particular backdoor, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve a memory leak unless said memory leak is causing other apps to behave erratically
Sep 08 02:22:16 <mekius> Not really, I don't waste time hunting such things down heh
Sep 08 02:22:30 <mekius> Requires quite a bit of time and patience
Sep 08 02:22:39 <mekius> Neither of which I have
Sep 08 02:23:31 <jordancason> if you don't mind a friendly chat what is it that you do?
Sep 08 02:24:12 <mekius> Well I program firmware for PIC microcontrollers at my day job
Sep 08 02:24:28 <mekius> On the side I work a bit with Enlightenment project
Sep 08 02:24:42 <mekius> Along with some other miscellaneous things
Sep 08 02:26:06 <jordancason> what language do you use for your programming?
Sep 08 02:26:13 <mekius> C
Sep 08 02:33:08 <jordancason> would you at all be interested in teaching a little or staying in contact just for small beginner C/C++ questions
Sep 08 02:33:51 <mekius> You can ask me here if you'd like, can't promise I'll answer them all :)
Sep 08 02:33:57 <mekius> brb
Sep 08 02:34:28 <jordancason> not to offen either just stuff i cant find on google, or have concepts wrong in my head when im stuck.
Sep 08 02:34:33 <mekius> k
Sep 08 02:35:31 <jordancason> if you don't mind then i'm just going to add you to my friends list. and thanks
Sep 08 02:36:10 <mekius> k
