与 Flash 通信的问题

我一直希望能用Flash做我程序的界面,主程序当然还是用VC写,这就需要网络通信.

查了半天help,发现了XMLSocket可以用，然后开个nc当server，用Flash连，发现可以连接，Flash也可以给nc发消息，但是nc发过来的就不行了。

帮助里关于onData隐约地说明了Flash接受到的消息一定要以一个\0结尾，我一开始就是这么想的，nc似乎发不了\0，于是我就弄了个简单的VC程序，不过一开始总不行，因为我用的是std::string("some words\0")，似乎std::string会自动切掉尾部\0,于是改为std::string("haha\0",5)，
啊，终于看到Flash有反应了。不错。

还有，Flash导出swf后，connect好像只会连接80端口，再转为exe就正常了，这有点好像调用外部exe的情况，估计也是为了安全吧。不过我用别的播放器，比如KMPlayer或Sothink SWF Decompiler就没这问题。

另外，据说Flash9的AS3已经没有这个问题了，我没试过，不知道是不是真的。

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Hardware Password Manager

[Updates 2025-01-20] The original blog post assumes that all passwords are stored in one password manager, and the password manager either unlocks everything or nothing (e.g. Keepass). After discussing with friends, I realized that if I use something like pass , and I use a hardware GPG token, I can actually store and sync all encrypted passwords to all devices, because I will only decrypt the passwords on demand, and the computer will not see the GPG private key. The compromise is that the computer will see the list of all password entries (e.g. accounts), as well as a few other issues . I've been using Keepass for many years. I don't use online password services because I cannot fully trust them. Besides, I may not always have Internet connection, which is why I also don't use a self-hosted service. Everything has been working fine, until I turn my paranoid knob to the max. Here's the thought experiment . The Imaginary Scenario Let's say I have 100 PCs for differe...

ESP32S3: Flash Encryption and Secure Boot

Flash encryption and secure boot are useful security features for ESP32S3 chip. While not perfect, they definitely make it harder to extract the secrets in the chip. However, it is tricky to enable both features at the same time. The topic is actually discussed in the official documentation: ESP32S3 Security Features Security Features Enablement Workflows Especially, the second one mentioned it is recommended to enable flash encryption before secure boot. But I still find the documentation confusing. In the end I was able to successfully enable both, here's my findings. My Understanding After my adventure, here's what I think could have worked. WARNING, this is untested. Follow Security Features Enablement Workflows : Burn all the keys, as long as their purpose eFuses and read/write protections Burn other security eFuses, but DO NOT burn ENABLE_SECURITY_DOWNLOAD in the middle, which is mentined at the end of the instruction for both flash encryption and secure boot. Burn...
