It is, you see, the virtual lockpick hack checks the mainframe because when the right character is entered for each part of the password, the way the bits flip is louder, just like a real lock. So the hacker code then translates that into the display on the right. Obviously. Dumbass.
I can't tell if it's that Black person from the Thor movies who also sang that "Black person" song for the iPhone commercial, or if it's Robert Downey Jr. in makeup.
Maybe the people in fallout 4 are moronic and store the password in plain text in their hard drives so you have search through the bytes to find the password
If you can read the ram, and they have very small amounts (<10Mb) and no encryption it is
It's just a memory dump to lookup passwords (unencrypted) with a hardlockout after failures
This is litterally what Heartbeat was btw
This
Pipboy boot sequence mentions it's got 64kb RAM and that's an actual PDA-type device, whereas Fallout terminals are pretty much just dumb terminals that connect to a remote datacenter to run a remote instance of the OS, it's basically cloud computing.
It's in FO4 as well.
People just do not read the ingame manual apparently because IIRC in all 3 Beth FO games those special characters are mentioned in the help file for Hacking.
those are pre-war computers, so it's not outrageous that the passwords would be stored in plaintext in memory, it's just a matter of picking a string from the correct address
it's a really shitty system, but not totally ridiculous
Hobbyist programmer here
Yes it is
You sound like you're full of shit
my uncle is a hacker for Nintendo and this is absolutely how hacking works
Cyber security consultant here
It's close. You just automate that part nowadays.
More professional programmer than OP here. That's exactly how hacking works.
Professional homosexual here
OP is my biggest inspiration

Next youll tell me the secret to lockpicking isnt finding the one spot in the lock that doesnt have tension
I just hacked your mainframe database after practicing in Fallout
Most people are just script kiddies but hacking hex code is a real thing.
I always preferred science over lockpicking in my fallout playthroughs. It just was cooler.
both lockpick and science minigames are so annoying. I'd rather see *miss* 100 times
it's much easier, thanks to the toolkits available in different linux distros related to memesecurity
hell, people can't even write their own payloads let alone shellcode

It's Bond James Bond
Yeah
It's his song btw

PROFESSIONAL programmer REACTS to hacking in FALLOUT
Guy who watched the Matrix here
This is just super high level hacking that I guess you aren't privy to
The answer is TANKS
>Professional programmer
Yeah? And you know every single comptuer in the world? That's what I thought, loser
Hacking looks like the most boring thing on this planet of earth. It needs to be exaggerated to even be remotely interesting.
It really works by rifling through peoples stuff till you find someone wrote the password down somewhere
Maybe the people in fallout 4 are moronic and store the password in plain text in their hard drives so you have search through the bytes to find the password
>That is not how hacking works.
Fact
Real hacking looks like this
That's nothing, check this out
Now THIS is hacking:
Professional hacker known as fourchan here.
This is how programming works.
Yeah it does.
Doesn't matter, it's a video game
Tell me OP, unironically how do I learn to program. I really want to do it.
just ask ChatGPT or any other LLM implementation trained with code databases to write your programs for you, saar

>expected a low quality post
>it's actually a low quality post
Amazing
as with coding, consistency is key
play Factorio
No, but it's how finding cheats work
Why are we looking at the stack of a 16-bit DOS program?

Looks like I just reset all of my hacking tries, nice security program, dumbass.
Average REGEX string
made me chuckle

That's totally how it works.
You do know that jurnos use stock images for headlines alot?

any good FO4 ENBs?
Tap 3 random words, back out before clicking the 4th, repeat untill unlocked.
Literally quicker than finding the matching words.
Or just click a couple of brackets before backing out.
>play for the millionth time
>huh, why are these junk characters highlighted like a word
>click it
>wrong answers removed
>guesses refreshed
What?
sprinkled into the text are special arrangements of brackets that either refresh your tries or remove the incorrect words from the board.
IVE PLAYED FO3 SINCE RELEASE, I HAVE A 1000S OF HOURS ACROSS THE FRANCHISE HOW COME THIS IS A FIRST TIME OF HEARING THIS???
It's in FO4 as well.

I only know about this because I've watched Gopher do a modded playthrough when I was little and he mentioned it
>it was always stated
Wtf?
Post-professional programmer here.
Yes it is.
