On a nice morning when I'd overslept a bit and couldn't make it to work on time using only my bicycle (15 miles each way), I rode to the bus stop and threw my bike in the rack on the front of the bus. Since I'd woken up late, I didn't get t

Too many to list here. I should probably start a project to enumerate my projects.

Good point. Also, Moxie Marlinspike's tool, SSLStrip, can break some of this stuff as well. I haven't tested it against the relatively few sites that go out of their way to set the Secure flag.

Never mind the fact that if any of the authenticated traffic goes over the wire in the clear (post-login), The Great Firewall could snarf sessionIDs and replay them. This is the concept used in Errata Security's Hamster/Ferret tools. You do

That'd be great, if America was a democracy.

Care to tell me why you listed banking, creditr cards and financial? Also, I think I can speak for most of us in saying that the communications industry as a whole is pretty much one big cartel. Cable, landline, long-distance, voip, mobil

I didn't vote this guy into office. But I did vote. And I knew going into it that either candidate would've screwed us over in his own way. Most of us have come to terms with the fact that all candidates are for bigger government, it's ju

HNN was a news portal and text-zine release perhaps 12-15 years ago, founded by Space Rogue from L0pht and a few others. They've been doing occasional Video podcasts over the last year or so. Today was their official launch, which I assume

Awesome! I knew SwellJoe and I seemed to end up in the same threads, and IIRC, agree on things. Even though I'm a relative neophyte. I love it!

The page works fine on my work PC (XP, FF3.5) but doesn't work under Safari or FF on my Mac. The "Encoded" box fills up with a / followed by tons of rubbish.

Or we're not retarded, but still enjoy making a mockery of the concept of (A)GW often in the name of snark alone. "skepticism" optional even if implied by the mockery. Also, it was yet another wonderful snowy, cold day for a bike commute. T

Mitnick's cards have been around for several years... I got one from him at a conference in KC (where he also autographed The Art of Deception and The Art of Intrusion for me). It was quite a while ago. Many others (including melvin and TOO

I've used them to try to pick locks. They don't work too well, as they're made of cheap metal instead of the spring steel used to make real lock picks. They could probably work on a filing cabinet or a kwikset door knob, but they're mostly

It's not that this isn't cool, because the gadget factor is pretty high... but normal (read: average fat American) people don't need this. I'm a 230 pound dude. I'm probably 20-30% body fat. Heck, maybe more. I've put 5,000 miles on a norma

I don't mean it like that. I think you're probably being silly and/or missing the point. I should have probably said "the best sysadmins." I'm talking about the ones who make magic happen on a regular basis. The go-to guys of the department

It really ought to matter. You take someone with quite a bit of experience in just RHEL or CentOS, and you hire them to work on Ubuntu Server LTS? They'd probably figure it out, but you'd probably have been better off finding someone with l

Everywhere I've worked that's not a startup, I've had to pay for all my stuff. The startups I worked for, as they became non-startups, started ditching perks like beer:30 Fridays, catered on-site lunches, free soda and the like. One took of

I've worked at two startups while they slowly took away the free stuff. It sucks, but it's a phase that successful (okay, and not-so-successful, in their death throes) companies eventually need to go through. Also, thank you for removing th

I agree. I always address LEOs at traffic stops as "Officer". Of some 15+ traffic stops in my years of driving, I've only landed three tickets. "Sir" just seems like it's begging for trouble.

That is, in fact, ozone. You're not alone. I often smell it ahead of big storms as well. Of course, I also smelled it after watching the maple tree in my front yard get zapped 20 feet away with nothing but a window screen and air between my

That tip on full keyboard access is pure win. If I could up-mod this comment a dozen times, I would! Many thanks! This has pestered me for about a decade now.
