Evil script replaces punctuation in your code with superficially similar symbols
by Rob Beschizza from on (#RE4D)
Mimic implements a sick, sick idea floated on Twitter by Peter Ritchie: "Replace a semicolon (;) with a greek question mark (;) in your friend's C# code and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax error."
mimic provokes:
" fun
" frustration
" curiosity
" murderous rageThere are many more characters in the Unicode character set that look, to some extent or another, like others - homoglyphs. Mimic substitutes common ASCII characters for obscure homoglyphs.
Fun games to play with mimic:
" Pipe some source code through and see if you can find all of the problems
" Pipe someone else's source code through without telling them
" Be fired, and then killed
What arseholes. What magnificent arseholes.
