Automatically type backwards, no joke

Of course I have to start with the story as to how I found this. Years ago, I was a member at the test board for the Invision Power Board forum platform. The board installation on their site, which was probably first a test board and announcement system, had evolved into a community, led by the IPS staff. I ran a board running IPB in those days, and left the community shortly after they shut my board down, not for not paying or anything, but because I suggested someone might be able to find a game they were looking for on eMule. Didn't provide a download, just told them where to get the program and how to search. Basically a load of BS, but I guess they were covering their asses. Still, lesson learned: Don't trust a program that can stab you in the back. If you pay for it, it should serve you, not someone else.

Anyway, I had heard the name HydrogenAudio a couple times, it was supposed to be the authority on digital audio. The name stuck in the back of my mind, and having a question about MP3 I'd been meaning to ask for a while, I finally signed up on their forums, asked my question, and was looking around, when I came across this little bit.


There is a certain character that, if you copy and paste it, everything afterwards is typed in reverse. Sound dangerous? Well, it is... various sites have voiced a concern about it being used for various illicit purposes. I guess you can think you're getting a picture, video, or song, and you're really getting a virus. I mean, "EXE.STUFF.MP3" looks like a song file, but backwards it's "3PM.FFUTS.EXE" which Windows will try to execute as code. And if it really is code, as opposed to sound, you may be up the creek. But this wouldn't be here, in this blog posting, this would be in an email or on a web site that's set up to cheat you in the first place. In other words, by itself the character is not harmful, just tricky.

A character, for the non-technical, is a letter, a number, a symbol, a space, something like that. It's computer language. The word "blog" is four characters, and "Nathan's Blog" is 13 characters, because we count the letters, the apostrophe, and the space.

Here's more information on the potential danger of this character.

And a link to the page I got this information from:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=57324

Now for the fun part. I post the character - and then I'll copy the entire blog thus far and paste it after the character - that is, in reverse. (PS: Use it wisely.)
