It's an amazing find to discover multiple different redacted versions of a single document and to reconstruct the original from these parts. Very similar to encrypting different data with same key multiple times giving the messages &#x

I tried this a while ago with libbirt-kvm and the most awesome thing was that I could live migrate VMs from AMD to Intel and vice versa. None of the other solutions, like vmware or xen do that, afaik. On the not so good side is that disk ca

I don't think the market for this is to get the actual original code. It's more like understanding what a particular program does: when you see it on a higher level it's much easier to understand the code than reading raw a

are the facial image and fingerprints only used for background check, are they stored (and for how long) and are they shared with different entities, such as police or foreign governments?

no, ziggy just acts as a directory of public ip addresses. Once alice and bob know each other's public ip they can start communicating each other. Suppose alice is at A.A.A.A:1234 and bob is at B.B.B.B:5678. Alice sends A.A.A.A:1234 -&

looking at the file list most of the interesting stuff end with .gpg so if the key is not included it seems like a waste of bandwidth.

I like the fact that it scans a live system and reports back packages and files that are not in packages. This way one can quickly check the functionality of a server and could also be helpful in multitude of other situations such as decomi

First, I think xcubed is right about #1. Not paying taxes should be considered a criminal negligence. All companies should operate within specified rules by the law and if one company does not it gets an unfair advantage over others. As a s

In Fujitsu servers there is a remote console but that requires a licence to function. Of course a hacker can acquire (even pay?) for that license and get console access. This leads to leaving the management network unplugged and losing remo

Yes, and at least in Finland the merchant has to inspect the physical card to see that the name on the card matches the buyer's ID. (In practise it seldom happens.)

any thoughts how you would implement this? To apply the sepia filter to the street view images would double the storage used for all the images, which is huge! Alternatively to apply the sepia filter each time a image is loaded would add a

I'm running several debian i386 virtual machines. I don't see a point running 64-bit os if the memory usage stays well below 3G. And last time I ran UnixBench on squeeze i386 was still faster than amd64. On bare metal it's a different story
