Right. That's not too hard to program.
they cant just toss away literal video data, thats whats actually being requested to be played
they proccess video data
and images
For example, QR codes just encode images. You could write a plugin that transforms each image on the fly and renders the "hidden" video.
upon upload
In computer security this is very similar to what is known as a "side channel".
@Deleted User Yes, I know. But, it could be in the video frame itself. For example, QR codes encode URLs. You can create an arbitrary encoding for data that you then display in each frame.
Even just morse code. They then represent bits.
It might not be very compact, but creating such a "coded" video is doable.
You could even go so far that it only makes sense if the watchers have a particular private key.
It would look like static, unless you have the decryption key. It's not so different from the encoding that TV channels used.

Anyway. It's pretty wacky, but I am just going along with the thought experiment.
yea but all that encoded data
is going to be stored in a server
probably FOR EVER
Side channel?
matter of time till ai catches on into this shit
Yes. Somebody brought up uploading an encoded video to YouTube that can be played, but is not viewable in its original form until decoded.
the best is just dont send em any info to them
I was just walking through how one could create such an encoded video.
@Undead Mockingbird what the fick does that mean?
theres this war against hardware in silicon valley
I was mentioning side channels, because in computer security, there have been amazing bugs that kind of inferred data through very unlikely means, such as the pattern of memory access by another process.
is like there a red tape on hardware
and only big ones are allowed to have hardware
Side channel attack would be taking a camera phone and record it while it is playing
So in confused
lol
Huh? No, I just explained what a side channel attack is in the context of computer security.
I do not know what term you are talking about, but if you are correct, there might be different uses of the term in different contexts.
This is what I am talking about: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Side-channel_attack
Just like binary is just an arbitrary encoding, you can also encode arbitrary data in movies.
Just like any of the letters of this sentence can be represented in numbers, such as their unicode encoding.
But the issue is you want to decrypt it in a mitm attack?
Why not just record it on the player level
I don't know if that was the intention.
I was using the example of the side channel attacks as an example of how regular communication and processes can be piggy backed on to communicate other information.
