🚨 <script> isn’t just text—it’s a command! Want it to show up in HTML? You have to escape it:
✅ <script> → <script>
Escaping keeps hackers out and your code clean 🔐 Learn why it matters & how it works in our latest article 👇

Did you know pressing CTRL+D can make some C++ programs crash or loop forever? 🤯
That’s because cin enters an error state instead of truly “closing” input. Most apps handle it well—but not all 🙅
Want to see why?

We've published a new article!
⌨️ Linux Terminal: CTRL+D is like pressing ENTER
hackarcana.com/article/ctrl...
Enjoy!
Pro tip for protocol hand-crafting lovers:
Having problems sending \r\n on Linux? Press CTRL+V to escape the next key press, and follow it up with ENTER to get \r.
CTRL+V, ENTER, ENTER → \r\n
⚠️ Sanitizing input is tricky! Removing unwanted HTML tags prevents XSS, but won’t stop SQL injections. To keep your app safe, use validation, escaping, and sanitization where they belong 🔐
