A thing that I found missing is that legacy systems' influence is much larger than only the systems it directly touches. Through particular requirements that some of these systems have they might shape policy too! I primarily deal in s

Ehh, don't you think that actually makes it worse? I don't know about you, but even if the government does not have a legitimate democratic mandate, it still has a larger say than a foreign country. Especially if you consider that

That is after you've downloaded the data. Skimmers these days can be read out remotely. You don't need to do anything obvious. You don't need to come back to the atm once you've got what you came for.

The escrow can build up trust with high volume low amount transactions, i.e. your regular drug transactions. I think all dark markets to date had some escrow systems in place eventually.

Very interesting. I'm trying to do something closely related for other reasons. One thing I'm thinking of is that it might be possible to brute-force the semantics of short snippets of code using genetic algorithms. A similar tech

Sounds like a directory traversal to me :) It's generally a bad idea to have the user in control of filenames you create if those files are not on a device they own.

Pivot to OSCP instead. CISSP will have you learn the required strength of a light bulb to light the alley behind the office. OSCP will introduce you to overflowing a buffer and pwning a remote service... I know which one I find preferable

As a hacker, I see a very easily exploitable flaw in your proposed solution :)

True true, wasn't meant to be hostile but I see that I wrote my comment unkindly. I do think the point stands though. They are names for the same technology. How it is used, and who uses it will determine what type of spin I'd put

Most stringently disagree. There are numerous examples in history where do-good measures have later been abused in the most abhorrent manner possible. In fact, I'm living in a place whose history is influenced by one of these examples[

Human decision making is terrifyingly biased. The fear that currently grips the world and its leaders is perfect cover for leaders bent on a totalitarian streak. 'Doing what is right', 'fighting this and that'. Your own

While I think that's a valid point to make. My perspective on that is that, given contradicting reports and initial confusion, you can't fault any organization or person not picking out the correct response in the total state spac

This is because of DRM integrations. If any part of the chain between netflix and secure memory in your display cannot be verified, or does not meet some standard, you get the degraded experience.

I'm reasonably sure it's in jest: """ I went to random.org and generated 32 sets of 256 no-repeat numbers between 0 and 255 inclusive. """ We have someone with the practical cryptographic knowledge to

Notice what the quote in the article, and the points made in the comments below, reveal? Humans compare with their reference group. As your status increases you'll step out of your old group and into a new one. And then the cycle start

Although nice in theory, contemporary implementations of the same scheme leave a lot to be desired. Take Windows' control flow guard (CFG) as a practical example. The scope of valid indirect branch targets is so vast that even with CFG

The contract is published online. It certainly describes "circumventing physical security measures", such as locks. The contract is signed by an authority for which there was no reasonable doubt that they were not authorized to ap

What a delightful piece of writing! The three catagories really seem to fit. It explains the frequent arguments about electron vs native, new JavaScript libraries and battle tested C. Wonderful and insightful.

I got this too! Quite sure my account is not compromised, have 2fa and a keepass password. The invites appear to be sent from my own e-mail address. Is this a separate issue? No third part access to calendar either.

My opinion: this is an idiotic thing to do. I got triggered in a huge way by this for a number of reasons: 1. An attacker skilled enough to perform black box binary fuzzing, and create a testing harnass. Will only be minimally hindered by a

I noticed this too! We have no insight in how this works 'under the hood'. But this one really disappeared disturbingly fast.
