I had this too, it's what started me going with programming and I use visual studio till this day. It probably laid the foundations for my later job in information security.

There are also credible reports of genocide. That'd be reason enough don't you think?

We'll first of all it's turtles all the way down. Like all morality there isn't an absolute answer that tells us what is good or bad in a secular setting. So the thing that comes closest is the culture and history we've

I always use mutexes based on machine unique characteristics. Obviously one can still reverse engineer the algorithm and ship AV updates to keep those mutexes. But that's more work than shipping in.txt and out.txt full of strings to yo

You could just buy a vps and install tor there. I imagine it wouldn't take 30 minutes to set it up for life. For very low costs too, a 1tb of traffic goes for about 5$ with some memory and 1 core.

Nerds try to out-nerd each other. Which could be considered helpful since it could motivate people to go way over the top when designing code, perhaps also harmful if that results in over engineered code instead of good code.

It don't think it will work this way. The difference is because medical devices that contain known vulnerabilities can't just remain operating like a movie studio or cheat-dating-site can. Therefore publishing truly critical vulne

There is some evidence that CITIC Group, a Chinese company, is heavily involved in corporate espionage and the manipulation of foreign nations. There's no particular reason that other large companies, no matter their home countries, co

Well is it? At some point, either we become like machines, or the machines become like us. There is a limit to how many times we can redraw the lines.

I'm am not saying that you are wrong, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with what you are saying. However, I do want to point out something peculiar, an assumption underlying your opinion. > "every single shred of independen

Error D would be particularly confusing, since it would still produce the result the programmer intended (at least with my setup where implicit int -> bool). "The right thing for the wrong reasons".

Using sockets is very portable imo. If I remember correctly there's only 2 functions that differ between linux and windows[1]. I'd rather use 2 source files than the whole boost asio/networking library. [1] Those are ioctlsoc

Funny that they specifically mention 'Home' computers. Wouldn't want the public snooping around on data inside court and government computers now would we... Incompetent double-speaking idiots the lot of them.

It's not the same, an XSS is not comparable to a shell for the exact reason I outlined above. And a session is not a password. I'm probably coming over as too offensive, but you really really don't seem to know what you are e

You are wrong. It does. It keeps your user's session from being trivially stolen. In practise this makes successfully executing attacks harder. It's not a _nice_ thing to have, it's essential. An example of this is an applica

I've tested many web applications, and around 80% of all applications I've tested contained an XSS of some sort or another, that number drops to around 40% if you only look at stored XSS & XSS in a get request. And to less tha

But reading from left to right/top to bottom is definitely not universal. How will you make sure that the figures are read in the correct order? Perhaps a future culture will read the signs to mean that they should bring old and dying

Does this mean our problems with CO2 buildup are partialy solved? Or solved to any large extent?

Yes, I agree that a human can (even with massive cuts to minimum wage, and/or subsidies to companies) never catch up to automated workers. Not only should we not try because we can't win on economic grounds (I think). It'll p

The people there are really starting to feel the encroaching mass-automation of low wage jobs then :/ I hope that the spokesperson was speaking the truth when they said that the increased automation would not lead to long-term loss of

As long as all the instructions are the same size (or smaller padded with no-operation instructions) then yes. If, however, you do change the size of the application all relocation deltas need to be changed, and all relative jumps and calls

A VM is also just software, plenty of quest-to-host escapes in the last few years... I bet that many people that should know better here have never updated their VM, except those who are warned by the auto updater that is.

But you don't know that going in do you? If you knew exactly what was going to happen you wouldn't need to experiment in the first place.

Wow this person is impressive, the details of the attack and the preparation almost make it read like a Hollywood hacker movie script (if they made good movies about hacking that is...).

It looks like it, but with pfsense you get more control I think. I have several more segments (read: virtual adapters) that route through a VPN or just from my home ip. So then I can go to mange>adapter settings>lan segments in my vmw
