I was expecting this to be more nooby based on the title. But instead they built an exploit that bypassed multiple input validation stages with clever hacks. Even going as far as to setup sub-domains to resemble the base domain. I'd no

When I think of 90s websites I think of a design trend where everything used tables, borders, and a crap load of gifs. A common design for sites is this basic pattern: [nav bar ...] [link1 ] content ... [link...] content ... Al

It's genuinely a difficult question because there are projects that have the exact same technical designs that are still legitimate projects. So how do you evaluate this? From my perspective it used to easier. I'd just look at the

I can see it now: 'your system is horribly and laughably insecure. Please don't launch with this plan.' Is then turned to: 'we have been independently audited by a third-party' (((no need to mention what they said))

Cheers, read the paper 10+ years ago. Nothing new or interesting in that time. Very impressive restatements of old ideas introduced by other people in typical pseudo-academic Protocol Labs style. Protocol Labs is famous for reinventing whee

The kings of marketing and buzz-words at it again trying to re-spin CDNs as their invention. IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data; doesn't solve churn in p2p systems; doesn't actually 'store' anything. Sounds cool

Checkout also shopify's awesome tool called toxiproxy: https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy It turns out to be also a very good way to test a networking library by implementing it. Since your stack needs to be abl

I've seen YT videos of people building these stills to break down the plastic to 'diesel.' Normally they claim that they're 'recycling' the plastic and imply its an ingenious way to help better the environme

I'd never buy an ASUS laptop. They've never made good laptops. It's not exclusive to ASUS. All 'consumer' tier laptops are cheap plastic, disposable, crapware. Business laptops are much better.

You should focus on this tbh. People who have a network already aren't going to need as much help. If you could help people without a network find employment that would be tremendously positive. It's a hard problem though, very ha

I think it all comes down to the fears of investors. At larger companies they have to answer to share holders who are moody, pessimistic, and very bipolar. They will look at a companies revenue, see that its doing well, but still lose sleep

Yeah, I found the whole thing a rambling mess. Article was filled with try hard quotes about war and nothing of substance. Why are infosec people so cringe?

I kind of agree with you. I feel like there's a narrow set of content there worth watching and when you get through it all it's just like: okay, now what? There's nothing else worth watching. I haven't been able to use m

It's ok, sure it's stressful when something like this happens. Software is a hard field and the amount of things that can go wrong is immense. When I think about how few errors and downtime some of the larger services have I reali

Nah, that's bullshit. If someone interacts with your team on whatever medium you go out of your way to be respectful and shouldn't act like stuck up, condescending neckbeards, whose presence is a gift to humanity. I run many open

I was laid off at the end of last year and at the time I felt pretty bad about it. To land that job I spent the longest period in my entire career applying to jobs and I was extremely worried I'd have to repeat that process. But you kn

There's quite a lot of truth to it though. Exercise (the right kind) has comparable effects to anti-depressants. It can help people with very hard to treat depression manage symptoms. It improves cognition and induces neurogenesis. Sle

When you build these type of projects is there an actual consistent method to getting people to look at your work? Because from my experience it seems like any amount of feedback I've had came from freak lottery type events like gettin

Imagine a site like news.ycombinator.com. The browser uses that name to lookup the IP from a specialized server. So for the domain it might have this saved: A IP = ...1 AAAA IP = ...2 Where 'a' is the type of record. But there are

I like it. I just wish that dig were installed on every platform. I'm always annoyed that it isn't available on Windows and when I checked Debian doesn't have it by default (though easily installable.) OpenBSD and Mac OS X ha

I work on software for p2p networking and I'm always researching strange things because of it. One thing that I've discovered is that SIP has a mechanism to relay a single message to a single IP. I know this might not sound like m

Hey people, good luck to everyone looking for work at the moment. Things have been tough in tech these past few years. My industry seems very unstable (finance) but every where seems like they've been downsizing. Hopefully everyone can

One day there will be a genius or group of geniuses who find a way to make job hunting less horrible and we will probably make songs about them.

I feel the same way. This is like a combination of art, philosophy, and software engineering. It's a whole ecosystem and possibly a new platform. Really interesting to think about this.
