Welcome to this special swamp!





What is so special about
this swamp you ask?




This is a mystical, gloomy place,
untouched by human hands,

and most importantly,

this is the place where bugs,
big and small,
are thriving,
hidden in the shadows!






Here I am going to describe
all the different kind of bugs
that I find throughout my
explorations and adventures
in the Swamp of Bugs!




Enjoy!

The Duskrai Chat Bug was present in the herochat room. The name Duskrai is used because this was the infamous account who exploited this bug. This bug gave you the power to morph into anybody or anything. Some names used by Duskrai were: Saikou, Chair, Riako and many more. Due to the use of Riako's name the nickname Duskriako came to be.

Description:
The Shiny Ditto Bug is a bug that likes the company of pokemon as it was on every pokemon page. It conflicted with renaming the pokemon. When a special code was used when renaming a pokemon this bug could give you the power to change the pokemon entirely. A pokemon could be made shiny, mega-able, change the pokemon to any other pokemon, change the owner of the pokemon, give any item to it, even if you didn't have this item, etc.The given item could be taken from it to get free items, also key items could be given, so it was totally possible to have 8 explorer bags. It is named the Shiny Ditto Bug because the first shiny ditto on site was by using this bug.[/color]

Kind: Deadly

Extinct: Yes

First seen: 20 June, 2018

Description:
The Harlem Shake Bug was the deadliest bug ever found. The seemingly harmless name comes from one of the uses of this bug. When going to a page infected by this bug, the harlem shake song started to play and elements on the page were shaking on the rhythm of the music. The deadly nature of this bug is what else could be done with it. A handful users were a victim of the bug but they luckily didn't suffer from it. On a bad day the bug could have destroyed the whole site, this is why the bug was exterminated as fast as possible.[/color]

Description:
The Double Hashtag Bug was a bug that affected the use of double hashtags. When a hashtag was used more than once the second hashtag turned into unwanted code. This bug has the nickname Feed Freeze Bug because it could be used to go from 1000 characters feed limit to 3,538,792 characters in the actual feed, which took ages to load. Since the bug got extinct it is possible to post the same hashtag multiple times.[/color]

The Giant Herochat Bug lurks in the shadows, deep in the core of the Herochat page. This bug makes it possible to make text very big or really small. It also allows to add background color, change it's position, etc. The word Giant in the name comes from making the text really big, not because it's a giant bug, the bug itself is actually tiny.[/color]

Welcome to The Swamp Lab!

Today we are disecting

Duskrai Chat Bug



This is a bug that
affects communication,
more specifically the
communication via
Herochat.


[/color][color=#428cf4;display:inline-block;width:50%;background:white;font-family:Consolas;font-size:18px;text-align:center;padding: 0 5%; box-sizing:border-box;]













[/color][color=#428cf4;display:inline-block;width:100%;background:white;font-family:Consolas;font-size:18px;text-align:center;padding: 0 25%; box-sizing:border-box;]When a message is sent in Herochat there is extra data sent which is invisible to the user. This data includes, among other things, the name of the sender. This tells the server how to prepare the message and how to show them to other people that are in the Herochat room.

[/color]
[color=#428cf4;position:absolute;left:20%;][/color][color=#428cf4;display:inline-block;width:50%;background:white;font-family:Consolas;font-size:18px;text-align:center;padding: 0 30px; box-sizing:border-box;]
















[/color][color=#428cf4;display:inline-block;width:50%;background:white;font-family:Consolas;font-size:18px;text-align:center;padding: 0 5%; box-sizing:border-box;]
The problem is that you
can decide which data
is being sent if you
know how it's done.
So you can easily send
a different username
and this bug made
sure this username
was accepted.
This was because there
was no check if the
username was the
same as the actual
username of the user.


[/color][color=#428cf4;display:inline-block;width:100%;background:white;font-family:Consolas;font-size:18px;text-align:center;padding: 0 25%; box-sizing:border-box;]To fix it, just check if the usernames match. Plain and simple.

You might be asking why the username is sent in the first place when the actual username is already known. This is because Herochat wasn't programmed specifically for this site. Sending the username as well makes the chat more flexible for different needs.

This shows you shouldn't just use the work of someone else without looking what they actually do. Look into it and maybe learn a thing or two while you do. :)


That's it for this disection, hope you learned something and see you next time!
