MOGs: Hacks and Hackers

“All the popular protection methods lag well-behind capabilities of the average-attacker-on-a-100K-simultaneous-player-game.”
Disclosure: On this site you won’t find specific advice on “how to call function xyz()”. Interpreting C++ ARM and #pragma dwim is also out of scope.
We’re treating our readers as intelligent beings who can use Google and/or StackOverflow, where all such specific questions were answered more than once.
What you will find is opinions on all the aspects of software development (from UI to scalability, reliability and security) for all kinds of systems (from large-scale systems to embedded ones), the reasoning behind those opinions, and tons of practical observations, which may help you to choose what you really need for your specific task.
Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included.

“Whatever throughput numbers are promised by router manufacturers, in real world should be divided by the factor of 2.5x-5x”
Another Quote:
“Each router was tested with each of the cards/adapters, which gives us 42 tests on 2.4GHz band and 42 tests on 5GHz”
OLTP Database Optimization 102 – DIY Heterogeneous Replication (Part II)
Quote:
“The point of Super-Replica is that it is a replica Slave DB which is larger than original Master DB”
Another Quote:
“this “don’t write some HISTORICAL data to Master DB” approach can easily allow to reduce the load on the Master OLTP DB by a factor of 2x-3x”

“there are still several Big Fat Reasons™ to use DIY replicas”
Another Quote:
“With the Replication Messages described above, it is ok to apply Replication Messages to Slave DB which is newer than exactly necessary.”
