I think it's primarily written to a different audience than yourself, then. I mean that in the best of ways. As an infosec sort, it came across pretty clearly what they intended. I think it's just a culture difference between info

As someone interested in getting into penetration testing, this is a fascinating look into how techniques that have been around forever can be used to get into anything. Disregarding the scale and target, this isn't anything groundbrea

Blizzard's new title is called Heroes of the Storm. It's free to play as well, but works in a similar manner to League of Legends, where there is a rotation of free heroes to play every week. If you want other heroes, you earn the

That is very true. However, the number of people who are both good software engineers and good cryptographers is very low. Personally, I can't say that I've seen experts being hostile towards those willing to learn the concepts an

I'll grant you that. Crypto is just one aspect of the security field that doesn't seem very intuitive to me, but it's probably just me.

This is a very striking article, and I feel it gave me some important things to consider when it comes to medical decisions like this. While I'm still (very) young, and hopefully won't have to deal with this sort of thing for many
