thats not new

2018-10-02 20:24:26 UTC  

aye, but you have different codecs, and what i am saying is that you use the literal footage not something added they might trow away

2018-10-02 20:24:26 UTC  

Other sites use a library called PNGCRUSH, which performs a similar function, and reduces extraneous data before storing and serving the image.

2018-10-02 20:24:29 UTC  

like,t heres software with algorythingms that scans files for hiden files inside file formats

2018-10-02 20:24:29 UTC  

@Risotto I think that might be a bit much. They are right now horrible but I think they were worse before the, “party flip” or whatever they call it

2018-10-02 20:24:31 UTC  

like.. uploading static

2018-10-02 20:24:41 UTC  

No, that's not new. I am not saying it is. I am just answering the quesiton.

2018-10-02 20:24:46 UTC  

but then, depending on the pattern, you can watch the actual video

2018-10-02 20:25:02 UTC  

Right. That's not too hard to program.

2018-10-02 20:25:15 UTC  

they cant just toss away literal video data, thats whats actually being requested to be played

2018-10-02 20:25:37 UTC  

they proccess video data

2018-10-02 20:25:39 UTC  

and images

2018-10-02 20:25:41 UTC  

For example, QR codes just encode images. You could write a plugin that transforms each image on the fly and renders the "hidden" video.

2018-10-02 20:25:42 UTC  

upon upload

2018-10-02 20:25:59 UTC  

In computer security this is very similar to what is known as a "side channel".

2018-10-02 20:26:45 UTC  

@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.

2018-10-02 20:27:02 UTC  

Even just morse code. They then represent bits.

2018-10-02 20:27:15 UTC  

It might not be very compact, but creating such a "coded" video is doable.

2018-10-02 20:27:29 UTC  

You could even go so far that it only makes sense if the watchers have a particular private key.

2018-10-02 20:27:55 UTC  

It would look like static, unless you have the decryption key. It's not so different from the encoding that TV channels used.

2018-10-02 20:28:46 UTC  

Anyway. It's pretty wacky, but I am just going along with the thought experiment.

2018-10-02 20:28:59 UTC  

yea but all that encoded data

2018-10-02 20:29:03 UTC  

is going to be stored in a server

2018-10-02 20:29:08 UTC  

probably FOR EVER

2018-10-02 20:29:11 UTC  

Side channel?

2018-10-02 20:29:21 UTC  

matter of time till ai catches on into this shit

2018-10-02 20:29:24 UTC  

What you want to know?

2018-10-02 20:29:47 UTC  

Yes. Somebody brought up uploading an encoded video to YouTube that can be played, but is not viewable in its original form until decoded.

2018-10-02 20:29:49 UTC  

the best is just dont send em any info to them

2018-10-02 20:30:01 UTC  

I was just walking through how one could create such an encoded video.

2018-10-02 20:30:14 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird what the fick does that mean?

2018-10-02 20:30:23 UTC  

theres this war against hardware in silicon valley

2018-10-02 20:30:37 UTC  

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.

2018-10-02 20:30:37 UTC  

is like there a red tape on hardware

2018-10-02 20:30:47 UTC  

and only big ones are allowed to have hardware

2018-10-02 20:30:48 UTC  

Side channel attack would be taking a camera phone and record it while it is playing

2018-10-02 20:30:53 UTC  

So in confused

2018-10-02 20:31:02 UTC  

lol

2018-10-02 20:31:12 UTC  

Huh? No, I just explained what a side channel attack is in the context of computer security.
