Maybe it is someone working for a competitor trying to raise their links by getting everyone above them blacklisted by search engines?

I think that it is better to think about it in terms of the 'colour of bits'. Bit colour can be thought of as an invisible property that follows a bit around whenever that bit is computed in a way that depends on another coloured

To understand how a traffic analysis attach works, you first need to understand how hidden services work. The way Tor hidden services work is that the hidden service builds a route (called a circuit) through the network of Tor nodes through

That doesn't explain how they were able to find the server hosting the hidden service by July the 23rd. The complaint relies on a lot of circumstantial evidence to tie the server to the person, and that evidence wouldn't easily ha

If they have a near global view of the network, they can do traffic correlation without having to 'ask' hosting providers - and putting a large signal through would certainly help that traffic correlation to occur. It is possible

It would be difficult to be sure that there is only one person with the key. If the defendant has a co-collaborator who also has access to the keys and is outside the reach of the seizing authority (or unknown to them), they could just tran

Phone locks are not designed to keep a well resourced attackers out, they are to keep nosy people from casually accessing your data. Competent authorities will not access your phone through the phone interface, they will just image the data

If you are going to use a rule like this, you really need agile project management to guide what you are going to need. If you are doing Scrum properly, you plan the features (and internal architecture needed for those features) for up to a

I suspect ICANN are thinking about the long game - if, as a matter of policy, there are no valid dotless domains, then developers of user agent software are unlikely to attempt to resolve them (other than using a search list or hosts file)

This is correct. However, it is difficult to prove that A and B (or perhaps every wallet in some long chain) are owned by the same person, especially if everyone has a large number of wallets and doesn't reuse them when they are empty.

It isn't NSA owned according to the records. 65.192.0.0/11 is UUnet (Verizon Business) owned. nsa.gov is hosted on 65.196.127.225, and both 65.196.127.225 and 65.222.202.53 fall in the block of 2 (32-11) = 2,097,152 addresses des

What [8] shows is that nsa.gov resolves to 65.196.127.226. 65.196.127.226 is part of the range 65.192.0.0/11 assigned to AS (autonomous system) 701, which is "UUnet Technologies, Inc". From Wikipedia, "Today, UUNET is an

Even big corporates are adopting agile methodologies, and combined with an appropriate contract, they provide a game theoretic incentive for both parties to act how the other intended. How the system is supposed to work: Contractor does a s

I suspect that if they were only making small quantities of it, they might not want to mess with their working production setup, and so it could be more economical to mass produce the coloured product and get advice from their staff food ch

It isn't an exploit, but rather a code obfuscation technique. The attacker compromised the site first (the exploit used isn't disclosed in the article), and then tried to conceal the malware they installed on the compromised syste

I'm not sure that language features making code more succinct really ruin the question. The C# isn't even that succinct compared to doing a similar thing in other popular languages. For example, in Haskell: topTenWords :: Stri

There are a few potential problems which limit the significance of this: 1. There is not a universal definition of what defines a language and what is simply a dialect or a regional variation; this applies especially on large continents whe

If you have larger projects, agile project management methodologies have a good solution: The Scrum method advocates keeping two backlogs - a product backlog and a sprint backlog; the sprint backlog is created by the team off the product ba

Certainly it is less broad than the NSA dragnet. However, WikiLeaks is a journalism organisation, and investigating such an organisation to suppress its free speech is objectionable. To cite article 19, clause 2 of the UN Covenant on Civil

I think it is deliberately written to be a little too absurd to be plausible. In real life, if you are accused of hiding information in a well known text, you could just show that your version of the text exactly matches the original, and s

The widely accepted definition of 'national security' means the survival of a state. To say that Snowden endangered national security is to say that he took actions which could credibly precipitate the end of the purportedly democ

But I don't think the blinding scheme presented in section 3.2 can be trusted if the bank logs all coins it signs and all coins it verifies. When signing a coin to make a withdrawal, the bank is given (r^v · M (mod N)) - N and v is

The US government has been fighting hard to stop a proper adversarial determination on whether it is legal; it is hard to challenge the legality of a secret system without even having all the facts about the system, and an ex parte hearing

Most of the anger at PRISM is that it apparently involves collecting data about everyone. Carnivore was supposedly designed to be deployed against people who are suspects for a particular reason already. While some of the ECHELON satellite

I think there are a lot of possibilities that could be consistent with Page's statement that also involve the NSA spying on Google users. For example, perhaps the NSA asked Google to disclose their SSL private keys; then, if they are w

If you have a dedicated cryptography module, you would be better off storing encrypted hashes, and asking the cryptography module to decrypt the hash and verify the password against it. Salting the hash (and using an expensive hash) would s
