    @will4623 I would imagine so, I'm not the biggest expert on cyber security though. There would need to be a hijacker of some sort, not sure if that could be built into the .mkv file.

  6. Apparently in Japanese mythology, it's traditional to have ugly people be grave keepers because they believed that ugly people scared ghosts away. 

     

    That's... pretty shallow.

      Not really. Think about how they made most of their monsters. It ties into the general mythos relatively well.

      Unlike vampires dying from a stake made of wood, that must be struck by a wooden hammer.

      That is oddly specific.

    Moral of the story?  Age has nothing to do with experience, intelligence, or maturity. 

    As for me, well.

    @will4623 Having an application read adjacent memory files stored in RAM could lead to someone hijacking your PC, as they could gain access to login keys, personal information could also easily be leaked. A hypothetical example is if you were writing an email then loaded an affected .mkv file, your browser and thus your email login information would be stored in RAM at the time and if they read the correct memory addresses they could get access to that information.

  12. For anyone who has seen a news article stating that VLC has a serious security issue and you should uninstall it. 

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/434487/no-you-dont-need-to-uninstall-vlc/amp/

     

    Here is a description of the vulnerability. 

    https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-13615#vulnCurrentDescriptionTitle

     

    For those of you who don't know what a buffer over read is, here.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_over-read

     

    In layman's terms, when playing a .mkv file that has been modified properly VLC will read adjacent memory files stored in RAM, this could give an attacker information such as login information and whatnot. 

    While bad, the required act of having to play an .mkv file altered specifically for this makes the threat quite a bit lower, just use some common sense. 

     

    Also, keep in mind that even if this is performed, there is no guarantee that an attacker could get useful information, it all depends on how much can accessed. 

     

    So no, leaving VLC installed won't magically give hackers a backdoor to your PC, if tech journalists did even the most basic of research they would have known that, but the vast majority of journalists aren't what you would call intelligent.

    @James Evens I was able to comfirm that it was a controller issue due to the drive spitting out what was seemingly random numbers and letters while trying to read the SSD in the BIOS. Im sure that it was a rare phenomenon, but I figured that I would share it. I have two Seagate drives, one 2TB firecuda and one 8TB barracuda. I've had the firecuda for over a year, and the barracuda for over 6 months, no issues so far.

    @James Evens I doubt it, the affected drives are around half a decade old if I recall correctly. An independent company that specialized in data recovery from magnetic hard drives showed me some interesting data, although it's several years old so it might not be relevant anymore. Seagate drives were about 70% of the drives which were seen, but over 90% of them were due to head crashes, which usually happens after they were dropped when reading or writing. When WD drives were seen, it was usually a failing motor bearing which is much harder to work on. PCB failures were about even between the two, failed Seagate drives were mostly 2.5 inch while WD was more 3.5 inch. Take those status however you will. One anecdotal failure from me was an adata m.2 SSD which had a sandforce controller which failed, which if you see wikipedia's first paragraph about sandforce. Seagate currently owns the technology. Keep in mind that's a sample size of one, but apparently there are quite a few people who had the controller just crap out on them as well.
