I just wrote a comment in another thread about bug bounties being cheap. Assuming you work 8 hours a day, your hourly salary would be $83,3. Wow! Do you think your frequency is somewhat maintainable? I myself dream about working full time w

These programs are great in the sense that companies are starting to accept security research and appreciate responsible disclosure instead of non/full disclosure. However, and I know this is not a popular opinion and that most people

I assume they would implement a white-list allowing "some non-intrusive adds" similar to Adblock.

I disagree. I believe education is an excellent way to free the north korean people from the brainwashing machine that is the DPRK. More DPRK people with the hacker mindset (e.g. not just accepting answers but asking questions, a hunger for

It's like when you are buying a new suit. You have the mass produced suits that sort of fits you. They are not designed for your needs, they are designed to (almost) fit as many people as possible. Then again if you want something c

Please tell me I am missing something. There is no salt. The hashing algorithm is hence vulnerable to a simple dictionary attack. It does not matter if you do a gigazillion rounds. Someone can still pre-calculate a list of common passwords

It might as well say "Real hackers use vi", "Real programmers use vi", or whatever. I do not see why it needs to be gender related. The author should write whatever he pleases. But I believe it would be proper to use

Not really answering you. But I feel like sharing the method our lecturer had. We learned MIPS first and then when people had a grasp of the basics we had lectures (along with intel manuals, abi reference, and some minor internal documents)

You should really consider making a non-js version of your website. The noscript googletagmanager iframe is not really screaming "we care about your privacy" either.

Remember that much of wikipedia (and the internet in general) are considered 'illegal data' in some countries. In this sense -- I believe that the idea here is to indeed broadcast illegal data. I find this project very interesting

I'd say (without much knowledge of SpaceX's financials) that it probably shouldn't be valued any higher. I'd argue it's fallacious to compare with WhatsApp because it's obviously overvalued. Adding some perspec

Second question: I recently spoke with a guy working right now on analyzing off-the-shelf usb-sticks from all kinds of vendors. He called it "night-shift malware" and his advice was to fdisk the hell out of all devices before even

Either way it's an unnecessary risk. People with access to a /smallnumber might still be able to exploit it. I find it quite ironic that they are all like "Common guys, use this new stuff, old stuff is bad!" -- then

Possibly, but why wouldn't they say so? It seems reasonable to me that they would blame the heartbleed bug instead of taking the blow themselves.

Recording and remembering are not the same thing. You cannot publish, replay, run algorithms on, .. a memory, this should be pretty obvious? Invading peoples privacy by recording them is not part of your rights. It has been possible for qui

Considering that most people couldn't even read regular text back then it was definitely pretty sound, but that's not really my point. We do? Got any references for that? Take RSA -- it's not even proven that breaking it is e

Possibly. We should keep in mind that our knowledge of number theory is very limited. They are probably not really interested because it's all really obvious to them -- and has been for quite a while. It's quite amusing to think
