I wouldn't recommend it for data requiring really strong security, but 
the sort of person able to crack it is likely able to do a memory dump, 
so it's probably no less secure than limiting stacks to RAM.

But now we're getting into semantics, right? Because if you use up
all your RAM the OS is going to start spooling stuff onto the hard
drive. Seems like there are all kinds of safeguards you could put
in place to protect their content and still maintain programming
efficiencies. Encrypting stacks written to disk for one.

Yeah, same one. I can't use anything useful. On the bright side, it 
makes you creative.

Hey, just make up your own encryption scheme. I know a good one--
A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. ;-)


It's even harder if you offset those by 2: A=3, B=4.

You're a good guesser. I just asked, and the client thinks a

From what you described of the memory usage of your system, it's
not going to get even remotely close to needing swap on a PC with
2GB RAM (video decoding only requires enough RAM for the codec and
a few frames at a time).  If it really is a problem (e.g. much less
than 2GB available) and you can't cache stacks to the disk then you
could write your own in memory caching system that destroys the
least recently used one when you go past a certain number of stacks
downloaded.


That's what I wanted to hear, thanks. Deleting the oldest files is 
actually in their specs but I didn't want to have to track that.


They have some ancient, decrepit Windows machines to test on so I think 
we'll find out soon enough if I'm worrying for nothing. I hope so.

I'd forgotten all about that. Yes, that would be an option. I'll file it 
away (again).


BTW, RR recently removed the ability to see scripts in a memory dump. :)

Which version?

The implications are interesting:  does it make things faster or slower?

If they're only saving a tokenized form of the script that would seem 
likely to make things faster, as it would obviate some of the steps 
needed for execution.


But if they're merely encrypting the scripts at runtime, that would of 
course slow things down.


If the former, how much more could be done to further approach true 
machine-code speeds?

I like general utility functions like this. I've written this one myself
somewhere in the past. When we can tinker with the language this will
definitely be in my lexicon.

Re: Memory usage

2013-07-04 Thread J. Landman Gay
I'm not sure how it's done exactly.  Mark Waddingham mentioned it to me at the 
last conference, he just said it was no longer possible to read the code from 
memory.  

I didn't even ask what version but I got the impression it was a recent change.
