frogging(University of Waterloo) 1. Partial corruption of a textfile or input stream by some bug or consistent glitch, asopposed to random events like line noise or media failures.Might occur, for example, if one bit of each incomingcharacter on a tty were stuck, so that some characters werecorrect and others were not.
See terminak for a historical example.
2. By extension, accidental display of text in a mode wherethe output device emits special symbols or mnemonics ratherthan conventional ASCII. This often happens, for example,when using a terminal or comm program on a device like an IBM PC with a special "high-half" character set and with thebit-parity assumption wrong. A hacker sufficiently familiarwith ASCII bit patterns might be able to read the displayanyway. |
