How to beat the censor

[DoG MikkyW]

I'm not sure if this has been spoken of before, but we are not allowed to use certain words. Just some are f***** (f*****) and *****. (*****). I feel this is stupid since this site mainly rejects what is considered normal in most societies. *(Note: I did not say anarchists, that's stupid.)*

So how do I do it? Simple really!!! I use the black text color bbcode tag. for example, if I wanted to type f*****. I would do this. fr[CO LOR="Black"]i[/CO LOR]dge. (Without the space in between the CO and LOR.) You can just click the A with the black line. http://i36.tinypic.com/33nxdox.jpg (that shows a pic of it.) on one of the letters.

So why do it? It's fucked up that a poser little bitch called "The Anarchist" figures that he gets to institute his own rules, and it is especially fucked up that he should attempt to censor the internet. So,
***** f*****

Won't he block these then? No, probably not, there are so many possible combinations, it would take too much work. Anyways, does anybody else know any censored words?

[a2thae]

not that hard to figure out that that defeats the filter...

[DoG MikkyW]

I know, and that's not the point, this is for people who never realized. I also didn't know if it hadn't been covered, this isn't some awesome "pwn" tut. or whatever, this is just mainly a public defiance of that bitch, The Anarchist.

[deathlord888]

i just dont get why f***** is blocked

[a2thae]

It's the combination of r-i-d-g-e.

"*****" is apart of "f*****, and thus the "*****" part is censored.

[deathlord888]

what is wrong with *****

[a2thae]

supposedly the street TA lives on. Or maybe he just wants us to think that...

[deathlord888]

oooooo haha ya that could be it
his number is also sensored

[MISFlT]

*****?
*****?

[freetibet]

when i finish the site i'm working on nothing will be censored. People will just be able to talk about whatever the hell they want.

except trolls of course...

[deathlord888]

i dont see why a-dmin is banned anyway

[DoG MikkyW]

Oh, and yeah, TA lives on ***** road.

[Cadaver Dog]

The only difference is, Tibet, no one will go to your site.

[MISFlT]

only because hes racist against trolls... YEA FUCK TROLLS!

Actually, if he were the programmer type, it wouldn't be hard at all. Same idea that a decent XSS filter runs by. But instead of recursive filtration of HTML characters, you could have recursive filtration of censored words.

Just have a preprocessor for the BBCode that recursively filters the input string. Not hard at all.

But, he's a lazy jackass, so I don't see him doing that.

or! he could compare only characters that were not within tags, so that it didnt matter where you put the tags, it would recognize it, and you'd be reduced to only being able to write r idge.....

edit: which could also be filtered pretty easily

[ishkur88]

i'd write an algorithm that also scans the string for character proximity and would keep track of which characters are where, and attempt to match them to censored words, but would not block a word containing the censored word (to mitigate the bullshit where ***** is blocked, and f***** is still partially blocked.)

well, the thing with a site like this is that you dont want to compromise speed, so while you're at it, why not make a bit of a genetic algorithm to continually make itself faster using a memoized hash lookup for recently found combinations?

[ishkur88]

the thing about a genetic algorithm is that its not normally fed absurdly awkward data like formatted strings. I'd say just a mere memoization of strings would be fairly fast.. but at the same time it'd be horrifically resource consuming after a few days or weeks.

Reason being is that you'd have idiots like Mass who would write a bruteforcing solution to just enter garbage into it (such as strings nested in hundreds of levels of BBCode tags).

I'm actually kind of curious as to the efficiency of a lookup table after it reaches a certain size. I mean, raw calculations are always going to be time consuming, but after a while... searching the table would start to lag as well.

Hmmm... maybe if you combined a MapReduce algorithm with a recursive filter of sorts... seems like it has potential.

that's the intention of the genetic algo, to find a better search method as the table grows....alternately, you could just ask google for a piece of their sourcecode...according to recent trends, they might well give you it....

Oh, and yeah, TA lives on ***** road.

there is a ***** street about a mile from my house, i highly doubt it but i wonder if its the same street

[DoG MikkyW]

Well look around, I posted some of TA info that mass got in one of these posts, see if you live next to him...

[twenglish1]

i can't find it do you think he removed it already?

[DoG MikkyW]

I think he might've...

[twenglish1]

do you remember any of it?

[DoG MikkyW]

*** ***** trace San Antonio TX

[twenglish1]

ok thats nowhere near here

[m00s3m4n]

what the f*****?

[m00s3m4n]

hmm how bout f.*****

[DoG MikkyW]

hmm how bout f.*****

How about you don't post on this dead topic, and if you really need to, just use the fucking easy method described in my OP.

hmm, looks like you just posted on this 'dead' topic as well you dumb fucking retard.

[a2thae]

Only to tell you not to do so...dumbfuck.

i ve found a new censored word ky ka. com i discovered it when i got this error

Yea asshole, but at the end of the day, did he post on the 'dead' topic? YEA. could he have PM'd me.. YEA.. but did he.. NO so shut your fucking shit mixer.

Good job, your proficiency in the English language is astounding. Your argument is also null, because every time you post, you are perpetuating what you think makes me an idiot. That is, informing someone that posting on a dead topic is frowned upon.

[GhostExodus]

lmao, Still censors will report to a syslog with the redirecting information, tho you may beat the censorship software, your IP is still being logged and monitored locally either to a log file or to a fat white guy in a little administration room trying not to do his job by looking at playboys. heh... If it were me, then i'd check the time of the log, and or if there was a login sheet you write your name in, i'd know wtf you were doing, then go to your house while you are sleeping and beat your ass. haha
