I’ve several times had cause to refer to the Estonian Morphology Guide written by Mati Pentus at Moscow State University.
Things like these are hard finds, so seeing that it’s CC-0, I’m mirroring it unchanged in its entirety here:
Aitäh, Mati!
Original Estonian lyrics at the bottom. You can listen on YouTube.
Come friends, and sit down,
I’ve wine and all the time in the world.
All I want now is to be with you,
laughing together.
When you find the time to show up
there’s no need to speak first.
We can just be there for each other
and at night we can watch the moon.
‘cause now I know that every day
I can give you a hand.
‘cause you’re here, you’re here, and I am too.
And I am too.
I’ve always had this habit;
longing, when I can’t see you.
And if not today, then tomorrow
I’ll be asking after you, determined.
I’m here for you, when you need me;
And when not, I’m here still.
I’ve two hands for embracing you,
And a song to sound ‘til the end.
‘cause now I know that every day
I can give you a hand.
‘cause you’re here, you’re here, and I am too.
And now I know that every day
we belong together.
You have my hands, my hands, and I have yours.
And I have yours.
Sõbrad tulge ja istume maha,
mul on vein ja ilmatum aeg
sellel hetkel just teiega tahan
olla koos ja teha üks naer
Leidkem aega, et kohale tulla
Pole tarvis teil pruukida suud
võime lihtsalt üksteise jaoks olla
Kui on öö, näiteks vaatame kuud
Sest nüüd ma tean, et iga päev
võin käe teil anda ma
Sest te olete siin, olete siin ja mina olen ka
Ja mina olen ka
Mul on alati olnud üks komme:
igatseda, kui ma teid ei näe
Ja kui mitte täna, siis homme
küsin kindlalt, et kuidas teil läeb
Olen teie jaoks siis, kui on vaja
Ja kui pole, olen ikkagi
Mul on kaks kätt, olen kallistaja
Ja mu laul kõlab lõpuni
Sest nüüd ma tean, et iga päev
võin käe teil anda ma
Sest te olete siin, olete siin ja mina teie ka
Ja nüüd ma tean, et iga päev
võime kokku kuuluda
Teil on mulle käsi, mulle käsi ja minul teile ka
Ja minul teile ka
It’s pretty difficult to find this song anywhere, so I’ve uploaded an MP3 (16MB). Likewise, the original Japanese lyrics don’t appear to be online, so they’re included at the bottom of this post.
Tell me why I was born (I need to know)
Words never fail to hurt me
All I want is to be important to someone
for something only I can do
I’m afraid, so afraid of being hurt; I can’t run from here
But I can’t just stop being me
I want to fly, fly, fly, fly
Soon, now, you’ll see
Is it fine, if I’m here? Someone, tell me.
I’m always searching for myself
I believe I can become something, surely,
but the unease is hard to shake
I’m so afraid of being hurt, and I can’t open my wings
But I just can’t stop being me
I want to fly, fly, fly, fly
Soon, now, I’ll take flight
All I wanted was to spend this time with you, peacefully
Why then does time refuse to wait for us?
生まれたことの意味を教えてほしいよ（ほしいよ）
言葉がいつでも私を傷つける
私は私にしかできないことの何かで
誰かに私を必要としてほしいよ
傷つくのが怖くてここから動けんないけど
私は私であることを止める訳にはいかないよ
飛びたい 飛びたい 飛びたい 飛びたい
もうすぐさ わかるよ
ここにいてもいいの？誰かを教えてよ
私はいつでも自分を捜してる
私は何にだってなれるはずさきっと
信じてるけど不安で仕方がないよ
傷つくのが怖くてここから飛び出せないけど
私は私であることを止める訳にはいかないよ
飛びたい 飛びたい 飛びたい 飛びたい
もうすぐさ 飛べるよ
私はただゆっくりとした時間を君と過ごしていたいだけなのに
どうして時間は私たちを待ってくれないんだろう
You can listen on ATLANTIS AIRPORT’s official YouTube. They’ve also put the original Japanese lyrics (Wayback) up on their blog
yes no, yes no, yes no
a cat’s eye is the signal
yes no, yes no, yes no
I’m not witty enough
mix the whites together
with your finger
turning, smoothly, around
spell it out for me, what they speak
because I want to read it
like a novel
give up / your eyes were diverted
do you hate me? hate this, that, everyone? right;
you think it’s fine if
everyone gets fucked up eventually
don’t you?
blue
stamp it “par avion”
the roar of the waves at night
you and me
running, laughing
not with you, not without you
the cheese of a pessimist
bite me
hurt me
if the memories flow
play the fool; a sad clown
tears all a lie
why?
i miss you
i want to meet soon
but my eyes are getting in the way
good night
cry
somehow
take a breath
i’m sorry
i will grant you anything
i will caress you softly
call my name, and
close your eyes
just close your eyes
like this, let’s go far far away
and paint the sky red
so please, don’t
tell me it was all just a dream
is this farewell?
everything seems just like in a cinema
yet realistic at the same time too
happy like this, i’m by your side
it’s not that kind of ending, y’know?
Note: this is a pretty long article which does a deep dive into breaking some amateur crypto. I go on for quite a bit. Make a cup of tea before reading, and get ready to read some code!
Everyone knows it. Rolling your own cryptography is a terrible idea. Here’s Bruce Schneier writing about it in 1999. Here’s an excellent answer on the Infosec Stack Exchange about why you shouldn’t do it. Here’s another Scheiner post with an excellent opening sentence.
This, then, is a post about a broken homegrown cryptosystem; namely, that used in CodeIgniter, pre-2.2. This version was current until the release of CodeIgniter 2.2, on the 5th of June, 2014, and you can still find sites on it today.
The attack described in the post depends on a lot of things to go right (or wrong, if you will); it’s not just that they used a bad cipher, but also the fact that they rolled their own session storage, and implemented a fallback, and a dozen other things. This is probably typical for most bugs of this class; a bunch of bad decisions which aren’t thought through find their logical conclusion in complete insecurity.
