Originally I was going to have fun trying to SQL inject the login page, but the SQL dump has all the admin usernames and passwords in PLAIN TEXT (right next to the MD5 sum of them, almost threw me off because I never imagined they would store the plaintext password next to the hash...).
So I logged in to the admin page, deleted everything (including the admin accounts, don't you tricksters try to vandalize their website now!), and replaced the front page with The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. I love poetry!
I probably could have found an exploit somewhere to execute PHP and delete all the files. But it was late. Good exercise for them, though. It'll just be a nice practice of the restoration part of their database backup strategy! :)

All his functions had to have a different length?<|eor|><|sor|>No, but the length of functions names had to be uniformly distributed.<|eor|><|sor|>Why?<|eor|><|sor|>He had all of his namespace in a hash table. To find a function pointer by it's name, he looked it up in the table. A hash table can be implemented by using an array and putting all values in there by creating an integer with a hash function `int index = hash(name)` and using that is the index in the array:
`functions[hash(name)] = &function`
Because there may be collisions in the hash function so that `hash(a) == hash(b)` you can just store a linked list there instead and just append the new value to that list. a and b would then have the same index and to find the correct function you have to iterate the list and check all values.
To ensure that you have the least possible collision you can either choose a good hash function or you do it like Rasmus and choose a very, very bad hash function and change the names until it fits. He changed the function names so that his hash function `strlen` was uniformly distributed and all linked lists in his table were equally long.

Well, there were other factors in play there. htmlspecialchars was a
very early function. Back when PHP had less than 100 functions and the
function hashing mechanism was strlen(). In order to get a nice hash
distribution of function names across the various function name lengths
names were picked specifically to make them fit into a specific length
bucket. This was circa late 1994 when PHP was a tool just for my own
personal use and I wasn't too worried about not being able to remember
the few function names.

He could've put "how do I hash a string?" into AskJeeves, copied and pasted the first result, and it would've been a trillion times better.
He could've copied the incredibly rudimentary hashing function straight out of K&R, which was basically:
for (size_t i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
hash = (hash * seed) + str[i];
Instead of doing any of those things, he went and renamed every single function so they had a sparse distribution of string lengths? Seriously? It takes a special kind of stupid to do that.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 16 |

All his functions had to have a different length?<|eor|><|sor|>No, but the length of functions names had to be uniformly distributed.<|eor|><|sor|>Why?<|eor|><|sor|>He had all of his namespace in a hash table. To find a function pointer by it's name, he looked it up in the table. A hash table can be implemented by using an array and putting all values in there by creating an integer with a hash function `int index = hash(name)` and using that is the index in the array:
`functions[hash(name)] = &function`
Because there may be collisions in the hash function so that `hash(a) == hash(b)` you can just store a linked list there instead and just append the new value to that list. a and b would then have the same index and to find the correct function you have to iterate the list and check all values.
To ensure that you have the least possible collision you can either choose a good hash function or you do it like Rasmus and choose a very, very bad hash function and change the names until it fits. He changed the function names so that his hash function `strlen` was uniformly distributed and all linked lists in his table were equally long.
Don't ever do this.<|eor|><|sor|>The funny part is, if he was able to properly implement a hash table that uses linked lists to handle collisions, how the fuck couldn't he have written or even copied and pasted a better hashing function?<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 15 |

Yes. It should be something like. "You have to rescue the princess in Php. You go to the castle and *think* you have rescued the princess and comeback quick. But when you look back, there is no princess".
Next time. You go to the castle and think you have rescued the princess. You spend the next week, writing unit tests to make sure you have the princess. Then you come back. But when you look, no princess.
Next time. You go to the castle, think you have rescued the princess. Spend the next two weeks write tests to make sure that the princess can survive the journey back. Then come back..When you look back, no princess...
