"argued that the logs “might be source code” and publishing them could be a security issue. "

Or this this makes us look really bad and guilty of fraud

I'm a pretty casual computer user, and even I knew that the idea that the logs might be source code was an asinine assertion. I actually went back to re-read it to make sure I had read correctly, because it was so retarded.

And that's not even getting into the implication that the security and protection of proprietary software is more important than securing our election integrity. Proprietary software needs to be nowhere near processes such as vote tabulation (and there are good arguments for firing it into the sun altogether.)

The simple answer is this:

Logs show what the application is programmed to log.

Although there is a scenario where logs may show exceptions and their stacktraces, containing names of classes and methods. But that's no valuable information and usually says little to nothing to those not having access to the source code.

It is clear that the argument is desperate and meant to be deceptive.

And why the fuck should exposing the source code be a "security issue"? This is RIDICULOUS. Son, that fucking thing is supposed to work in a straight forward manner. It's a fucking simple piece of code. And yes, even exposing the source code is irrelevant - encrypted data won't be easier to crack because they operate on keys. You have to expect your source code to be easily hacked anyway, and operate under the assumption that your encryption takes years, decades or the total lifetime of our Sun to be cracked.

What is a stack trace?

That might look like source code to a lawyer, , but it isnt.

If these companies are literally republishing their source code in its entirety at some point in their event logs, they deserve to have it all leaked in the courts.

Spoiler alert: They aren’t because that would be that would be a very very stupid thing to even try to do, if not actually impossible. The quoted person either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or is peddling falsehoods because they know most people are dumb enough to buy it.

this is another case of people just not understanding tech at all... Logs are just lists of actions that happened And what time and day, not source code. Someone needs to get in their face and shout this at them.

The Left does that, and they are protected by the system for doing it. Conservatives/Republicans are fucking morons and cowards. Instead of doing the same thing and blasting on all forms of media "Here are all the examples of when you did this and the media and establishment protected you, eat a dick", we say "Well, we don't like it when they do it and we need to set an example. Don't want to abuse our power."

Until we fix this mentality, we will lose... every... single... time.

MFW protecting a private company's "source code" is more important than protecting the integrity of our country's elections.

This is a national security issue and a national emergency. The military needs to just step in and seize these fucking machines. They are incriminating evidence in potential prosecutions before tribunals. Otherwise the corrupt governors and judges will keep playing games like this to run out the clock.

But the court went along with it as absurd as it is. Ignorance? Doubtful: so far, complicity is the rule in our judicial system. The judges need to be swept up in the dragnet, civilian and/or military.

My 6 year old knows the difference between logs and source code. Not even fucking joking a little bit.

booblitchutz 2 points ago +2 / -0

Obv a bullshit excuse.

There is the possibility that the code is so poorly written that the logs expose sensitive information, which is a massive “no-no” in secure software. Take for example a user logs into the system, the authentication service writes to the logs that the user successfully logged in and logs their username and password in plain text.

It’s a very common infosec leak to log sensitive info, but asserting that could be “source code” is asinine. Even if it printed the function call with all its context (which is laughably stupid unless they left debug log level on or something) that still isn’t “source code”.

SuperManHat 8 points ago +8 / -0

Bruh, they won't get the source code without decomiling the software, which is not even CLOSE to what they want to do.

The software is COMPILED CODE, which do actions in a software language. In the logs you CANNOT find ANY source code.

PLEASE get a developer to explain this to the SoS/judge in very simple terms.

I am going to guess that Dominion or some other group has clawback provisions that fuck over a state if they let the machines “source code” or “proprietary hardware” secrets be audited.

This would give the DA the reason needed to defend the machines instead of the public, because if failure to protect the machines costs the state hundreds of million of dollars, then the DA has to protect the machines, and by proxy, the tax payer...

Oh, so noooooow "might be" is iron clad. When it's all the problems surrounding Dominion, "might" can go either way and you have to find the exact people in the conspiracy before you can even begin to think about investigating.

Software engineer pede.

There is no log in the fucking world that has source code.

That would be like having an electrician out to your house and, instead of explaining the issue and offering a fix, they give you a wiring schematic. This is some bullshit smokescreen. Tell them to fuck off.

Pumpitrealgood 2 points ago +2 / -0

At this point the only solution for these people that will stop at nothing to conceal fraud working with the corrupt judiciary is hanging. I think there is just way too many people on the take, and this is so slow rolling that whatever headway we make they will find a way to conceal, obstruct, lie, stall. etc. etc., the EVIL that is trying to stop us revealing the truth just hatches some insane plan and these apparatchiks go with it knowing the judiciary will cover all the tracks. It is plain as day highway robbery. I am sad to say that force might be the only option left very soon.

I'm sorry but if your machines are being used for elections, should they be open source?

You shouldn't be able to hide what you're doing.

If they can be hacked, they shouldn't be used.
