The only sensible solution is to name JS and CSS frameworks using the keyword list.


Federal agents raided the home of John Doe this morning, accused of searching for terms such a “PipeBombJS” and “IED components for React”. The suspect was making pour over coffee when he was apprehended.


Correction: the suspect was holding an object resembling an improvised explosive device when he was fatally shot.


Correction: the police forces that intervened reported how the suspect was holding an object resembling an improvised explosive device when he was fatally shot.


Real life:

This bullet killed Vicki Weaver, who was standing behind the door in the cabin where Harris entered.[108] Vicki was holding the Weavers' 10-month-old baby Elisheba.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge


I've seen the same terms ("the bullet killed") used to describe the recent death of Halyna Hutchins on set of Alec Baldwin's film



OP’s quote misses context.

Vicky Weaver was killed through a door by a sniper firing at someone else.

A sentence before the quoted one attributes the bullet to the sniper.


Correction: there was an officer-involved explosion when security forces investigated a suspected terrorist's kitchen / chemistry lab.


Nah, can't say they were fatally shot by the police. Instead, you gotta word is as "They died from their injuries after being in a shooting involving police".


Real case: the default installer for GNUradio is called "pybombs". Last time I searched for it, google tried to auto-correct to one of those bad terms:

This is a wonderful civil disobedience type idea. If our industry had any guts we'd actually do this.


It would have to be popular for the keyword poisoning to work, but it probably won't get popular with a weird name..

"Yeah in my last project I developed a web app based on BinLaden Framework and IsisDB"..



I'm sure we can figure out something cleverer. Maybe use one of the more obscure names or a tagged phone number in some clever way.


Reminds me when the trigger keywords for Echelon[1] leaked on the internet [2]

> Glock 26 - a ceramic handgun that can't be detected by airport scanners (a reader informs us that the Glock 26 is only partly ceramic, the bullets are metal and is can be detected at airports - so we should really shift this one into the X-file list)

They pulled this directly from "Die Hard", the Glock 26 is just a cut-down Glock 19, with a big fat metal slide being integral to the gun's functionality.


... and if I recall, the Die Hard quote was about a "Glock 7", which does not and has never existed.


Correct, the Glock 7 is not a real gun.


How useful is that list if it includes words like fish, cards, redhead, Texas, and so forth?


heh, Crypto AG is on that list. prescient. though so is "speedbump" and "meta" so meh. such a weird list, extremely specific keywords like listening post codenames but then extremely common ones too.


Saying the word "privacy" triggers the global warrantless surveillance system? That's pretty amusing. They must have quite the dossier on a lot of people here, including me.


That's back when people still wore DeCSS on tshirts.


I had one of those shirts.

Unfortunately even in my circle of nerd friends, I was the only tech nerd. Everyone else was either an anime nerd or a M:TG nerd.


Yeah, that was pre Ice-Age expansion, before it all went to hell. ;-)


I started during Fallen Empires and quit shortly after Planeshift, though I never played competitively. My group of friends had just a few house rules for deck building: Minimum 60 cards, no more than 4 of any card that wasn't a basic land, and no Circles of Protection. Proxy cards were allowed, but only if you could prove you had an original.

In all the years I played, I never really learned what "Type 1" and "Type 2" deck building rules were. I basically only played during lunch in high school.


You were lucky: you actually had nerd friends...


I'm not really sure it's a idea that's usable, I mean the results of the framework would end up below results on actual explosions, so it'd be a PITA to search for information... I remember one tool called Beaver that was part of a deployement, really annoying to track down the documentation and existing issues


There was a free to play FPS game called "Dirty Bomb" (made by Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory's Splash Damage). Always felt a little weird googling that name.


Don't the results already get ruined by people needing help with video games?


This is genius.
