Except that Ghost was using (or still uses? I switched to udpcast since ages) ACKs from the destination hosts to adapt the bandwidth dynamically. So you didn't have to give/impose the bandwidth. The funny part was when a machine i

Not sure it was ever possible to bypass NT4 logins with whatever key combination... but Windows 98 was definitely doable.

Definitely. But I guess that it might be more subtle. The web page can show some benign message (let's say something related to your cell provider) and deliver an exploit to install a spyware like Pegasus. There would be no immediate s

It's like in-band signalling or out-of-band signalling in telephony. With in-band signalling, you could use a blue box and get calls for free.

Probably not, I was mainly thinking if that kind of solution was to be adopted at a scale like Google Analytics.

If you get paid cash and give a receipt/cash ticket, I'm not sure you can avoid declaring that revenue to the tax authorities. It's enough that one of your customers uses that ticket to deduce it as a professional expense fro

All this about the costs of dealing with cash are true. But they're especially true for the big players. I've seen several shops (including small coffee and ice cream places) telling people more or less openly that they prefer cas

Sounds like science-fiction or some conspiracy theories indeed... but the phenomenon seems to be scientifically well-described. I'm just wondering, wouldn't a clean room be able to keep out those micro-seeds?

There's for example SDR++ ( https://www.sdrpp.org/ ), which has lots of plugins to decode specific types of signals, or SDRangel ( https://www.sdrangel.org/ ), which has quite some digital signal decoders

Would this be equivalent to say e.g. that if you upload your photos to Google Photos, you should assume that their employees can freely watch them, as long as they are not sharing them?

Sometimes it's a question of accounting, depending on how the budgets are managed, it might be difficult to justify spending on something for 3 years later, if there's no real requirement to do so.

Seems an interesting idea if you work mostly on cloud-based apps. Can it only work with those? Any plan to be able to use local apps like Powerpoint? (don't want to use the online version, doing that kind of stuff in a browser doesn&#x

Can definitely be, I never investigated in detail, although I used alternative open source clients for both (signal-cli and a long time ago yowsup), so the information should be in there... I hoped that Signal's use of HTTP was as a fa

Any idea how it compares to Signal? They should be essentially using the same protocol. I also used it with good results with slow connectivity, but never tried on bad 2G...

Yes, it is a protocol limitation. The hostname length field in a SOCKS5 request is a single byte, whence the maximum length. As explained in the write-up, curl now returns an error in that specific condition, which seems a more reasonable t
