Art - Exploring objects in the computational universe

Fractals are characterized by self-similarity and recursive patterns at various scales. Sometimes this complex behavior can be achieved from simple rules which typically make use of loops, recursion, or even modular arithmetic in conjunction with bit-wise operations (XOR; AND, ETC).

I had found this example a while ago and I'm still amazed at how such a complex pattern like the Sierpinski fractal can emerge in only 14 bytes of assembler code!? Truly mind-boggling.

The second example uses modular arithmetic to create a maze-like fractal pattern.

REPOSITORY FOR ART 

[keyc] : A proof-of-concept Linux Keylogger in C

[keyc] : KeyCapture

A simple keylogger for Linux using evdev. This program captures keyboard input. I

t requires root privileges to run. Keyboard device file defaults to event0. 

If different, check /proc/bus/input/devices and run with paramater specifying device file number (X) as in ./keyc X

Key chars are stored in .capt.dat

Compilation

Compile the program with GCC:

• gcc keyc.c -o keyc
