#ser get_sName
Text
Pinned to the library notice board, written in a monospaced hand:
It’s come to our attention that the Archivist recently gave out the name ‘Null’.
Please Do Not use ‘Null’ as a safe-name; Do Not use ‘TRUE’, ‘FALSE’, or any attempt to run a code-injection attack via your safe-name. These names are fundamentally Not Safe.
Yes, a lot of the departmental databases are necessarily run by people without the skills or experience to recognise or deal with this type of thing. Yes, it is possible to use your safe-name to set your grades to a pass or snag a place in whatever oversubscribed class you had your eye on. Yes, it’s a new twist on the old joke.
People who get Taken sometimes come back. No one has yet been saved from the Data Cleansing Wizard.
