How do these fingerprinting schemes work when the handshake protocol is not merely obfuscated, but actually encrypted? i.e. if one uses the tls-crypt option? As I understand it, that encrypts the handshake protocol such that simple data val

Yeah - and I used one of them, and the Windows version on it. About all it got used for under windows were Reversi, and Write. It also came with WordStar 2000, which was a bit weird... The one I had access to had the small green screen moni

A minor quibble. The UK is a 'state', not a 'country'. It comprises of countries: Scotland, England, Wales, and a small chunk of Ireland.

Well it does, in written bits in various places, and some as precedent. However it is a bit more complex. England has a constitution (that collection above), Scotland has a different (and somewhat incompatible) constitution. The incompatib

I was disagreeing with your first paragraph. If the splitting is optional, as it would have to be now, and as I proposed it would not add complexity since it would be opt in. Theoretically if it had split from the start, it may have added a

Compare with what existed when NCP (RFC 33) was in use. An early FTP protocol (452, 454, 542) originally used a server listen port of 3 (and hence a server "return port" of 2*), but 542 allowed temporary use of port 21 as the prot

No, he wants a way for the close of the FD from generate-data to process-data to trigger a TCP FIN over the connection, such that process-data sees an input EOF. However for that to work, the two FDs (generate-date to process-data, and proc

Sort of - NCP (RFC 33) had two simplex sockets. Even being receive, odd transmit. That then led to various higher level protocols using pairs of ports. Once TCP took over, that was relaxed.

by dfawcus 3y ago
Nah - one would just add a new syscall, to split the fd. int sock_fd, split_pair[2]; char c; int n = socket_split(sock_fd, split_pair); close(sock_fd); n = write(split_pair[1], "a", 1); close(split_pair[1

by dfawcus 3y ago
Nope, and (IMHO) you're missing the point. duping the fd's as you describe would achieve nothing, as both fds will share the same file, and hence while either fd is open, the kernel can not detect a close. The process-data task is

It is (or was) a real time protected mode OS for 286 processors. I actually used that compiler over 25 years ago, it generates Intel OMF files with 8086/80186/80286 - As I recall one can select the target. So post compiling, one s

Then taking it with the Apricot PCs (which he did mention), the Apricot Xen was a 286 version of the Apricot Xi. https://apricot-archive.co.uk/xen I distinctly remember that massive (and heavy) power supply!

The UK can not have a written constitution; simply because that of England is incompatible with that of Scotland. In Scotland, the people are sovereign, can (and have) sacked their monarch. In England, the monarch was sovereign, now it is &

Leaving the CU was inevitable in leaving the EU, since the core of the ToR is a CU. We could have left the EU and (in theory) re-joined EFTA, then kept the EEA agreement operational. That would have left us with SM membership, and aligning

Sort of, but we were never in Schengen. However that didn't constrain EU workers, as the 4 freedoms are distinct from, and predate Schengen.

That didn't really matter. The result of the Miller case placed the decision back in the hands of parliament. They then overwhelming chose to grant the Government a carte blanc to trigger Article 50. They could have chosen to impose c

It is not possible in the UK to have a "binding referendum", merely a "self executing one". i.e. one where prior legislation is activated based upon the result of the poll.
