The principle of determinism is one that says the events can be the result of prior causes. With the same causes, the same outcomes will also happen. Within the world of computer hacking, this can also apply as meaning that computers are also deterministic in how if given the same inputs and states, they can produce the same outputs. In having this kind of predictability, hackers tend to exploit it. They can also exploit algorithms if they can understand them and figure out the inputs to get the outputs they need. Hackers can be able to use determinism to be able to use what they know of inputs in order to gain what they are truly after. Takes a lot of time and skill, but after time they can learn how different kinds of systems react to malware in these inputs and the kinds of reactions it spawns. Then from there, it’s just replicating it over and over again. There are ways to make the hackers work hard for them to malfunction a system. You can be able to use randomness to your advantage for your code and inputs in order for it not to be as predictable. In computer hacking, having a system that is seen as predictable with its inputs and outcomes can be very vulnerable to hackers. Knowing how to make it less deterministic is making sure you have a safer system as well.
