I assume it'd get sold to a collection agency for something like $500, which would then try to get you to pay as much as possible, possibly settling for as low as $2000).
So the hospital is still getting paid something, and the billee has the option to take a bigger credit hit or to negotiate down
Made some 12v-2x6 custom cables for fun and 99% sure the melting problems are from the microfit female connectors themselves. A lot of resistance going through the neck
In this example, the "encrypted data" is xored with the key 4 bytes at a time. The first 4 bytes in the data are the same as the key. For the next 4 and you get the constant I posted above. Plug into Google, find where it is often found, decide rest of table, see it matches.
I've learned programmers either invent their own hashes, random number generators, and crypto, in which case I usually break them, or they reuse existing algos, in which any code constants are searchable.
Plus I've written and reversed enough of all that I recognized the loop as a CRC polynomial remainder loop.
All Crc-n algos are trivially crackable/reversible/collideable. They're a remainder on division of polynomials (learn the math on how they work), so use the polynomial equivalent of extended euclidean algo and you get one answer. Now all sufficient multiples of that mod class give all possible answers, one at a time.
The polynomial is not present in the binary. The table was obfuscated so this approach will not work here (and it's pretty common to do this specifically to stop such a simply look at the bytes in a binary).
Most actually. As a country, we've had about a 10-year run of wage growth beating inflation. This only flipped in 2021. But the compounded wage growth from ~2013 to 2021 still beats the downward trend from 2021 to now.
Then why is /r/programming private right now? Not just me, multiple people reporting that.
Personally, I think it just goes to show that if you make a platform which depends on people's generosity to keep content well moderated, you should absolutely consider those generous people as your company's main resources.... and if you piss them off, as your worst enemies.
