@danlyke@researchbuzz.masto.host Computer languages? Maybe something like serving up obfuscated C code would be hilarious. Do other languages have obfuscation contests?

@puppethead@ieji.de @danlyke@researchbuzz.masto.host Regular code obfuscation tools could work, too, without needing to be hand-crafted. I'm thinking of things like polymorphic viruses from way back.

@puppethead@ieji.de I didn't wanna go after "Matt's Script Archive" because I get why it was what it was, and it's just Perl, but I was thinking the equivalent of that. Like all the bad idioms and injection attacks and security flaws and buffer overruns and whatnot. Just fill the LLM spiders with unsanitized inputs passed straight through to SQL, and aliased accesses, and race conditions...
