ARP spoofing was a thing most prevalent in the late '90's and early '00's. Back then, TCP session hijacking coordinated with IP and ARP spoofing was fun. That was the era of airpwn and goatse injection into unsecured wif

It won't work. IPv4 spoofing with multiple MAC addresses typically blocks one or the other. ARP spoofing also tends block one or the other device, but sometimes it sorta works.

Poe's law. This doesn't seem completely absurd because there are plenty of jerks on planes who don't dim excessively-bright screens much less reduce the volume of crap music.

IANAL, but it's probably also illegal (ie CFAA) by accessing other people's systems and denying their owners access to them by changing the password.

Then it's fraud or corporate BS. Bare-metal recovery means: - a BOM that's shot to a major hardware vendor or already having network and server device spares; Dell is able to meet this sort of need - a USB boot device to kickstart

That's only your view, and not the only viewpoint. Trying to minimize or discount the views of others isn't a smooth move.

Triplebyte overhyped their promise by lying to candidates. They told me I "had the highest score they ever saw" on their screening thing. Then, they submitted me as a candidate to Meta without my consent during the middle of the

Why? You can extract raw data and raw subchannel data directly from a CD/DVD drive. This isn't the case with how floppy drives work.

by banish-m4 2y ago
Not necessarily. It depends if you're extracting data+subchannel data or corrected track data only.

RADIUS, LDAP, DIAMETER, sflow, TACAS+, SNMP (all versions), UPS, lights-out management, and similar should never-ever be deployed to public-facing networks. These should remain segregated on internal VLANs used for infrastructure only. For

I used to bicycle down from the top of Bernal Rd. as it is very steep. The IBM Bernal (/Almaden?) campus is enormous, with an indoor golf cart for moving people around. I was there c. 1995 for a dark matter conference while I was still

What's missing is an e-waste recycling diversion stream that doesn't just grind everything into dust and seeks to resell and reuse what is salvageable. The industry won't do it because planned obsolescence profit motives want

Nope. Even their selection of fasteners isn't comprehensive. And not Grainger, TSC, or Ace Hardware either. I could't find ultra low-profile M3 screws while I could dropship zillions from China (with a delay of 3 weeks).

Yep. Also RIP Radio Shack, JDR Microdevices, Weird Stuff, NCA Peripherals, Fry's Electronics (and Fry's drugstore / groceries), and Egghead Software. Even the retail hypermart CompUSA died, leaving only their nemesis, Best Bu

Yep. Blame Apple for autocorrection. There are scant few b&m places to explore or source things physically. There's no Radio Shack, Tandy, or HeathKit in the b&m form factor. Maybe electronics needs a dedicated museum? Somewher

It's roughly similar to what happened after the fall of the Soviet Union. Power lines were routinely stolen for scrap. When there is massive inequality (or rampant drug abuse) and inadequate law enforcement, people on the fringes canni

Yep. It's unwise to embark on new ventures half-heartedly, without thinking ahead to their market potential, or without derisking them by experimenting before going into production, only to then yank the rug out from the team so quickl

That's such a convoluted niche within niche that could be filled with fewer than say 10 fixed webcams at $149 each for half the price at most.

It's ironic that most preppers are actually improperly prepared. Lone wolf preppers hiding MREs in the walls of their condos in the middle of a city is total futility. They should be 1. establishing self-sustaining homestead-farms usin

Cheap, but not necessarily good, expandable, or resilient. Although, I can tell you what not to do: a 45 drive SAS/2 or /3 4U JBOD case takes way too much power to use all the time and uses screaming 1U fans and PSUs by default. I

Last time I used Huffman codes, it was to run a MICMAC processor macroprogram (assembly text) in the fewest number of microcycles and to use the fewest microinstructions in the microprogram (microcode). So starting with a histogram of the m

If works do not test you or bring new ideas, then what is the point of reading them in the first place? Uncomfortable nonfiction is like eating your vegetables. There is much disquieting history and knowledge that must not be ignored. Mains

The crux of SH is 6-pronged: - Deployment and configuration management - Platform maintenance (not app upgrades) - App upgrades - Security - Performance monitoring - Data backup and disaster recovery When considering taking on SH, it's

Eliminating bugs requires sustained, vigilant, holistic, overlapping approaches: - Code reviews prior to acceptance of commits (Facebook does this) - Refactoring crap that manages to get through - Removing features - Higher-order languages
