True enough. It seems weird since SMB has been in continuous use from about 1990-1992 until today (24-26 years), but CIFS was only in use from about 1996 to 2000, so about 4 years of CIFS and 22 years of SMB, or about 15% of SMB's lif

Windows' enterprise infrastructure relies heavily on CIFS. I'm pretty sure the number of enterprises deploying CIFS is basically 0. It was last used for NT 4.0, and was superseded by SMB1 in windows 2000, SMB2 in Windows 2008,

IIRC The pin must contain at least one key that's in the current chain and at least one key that's not in the current chain. Then the malware could call out to let's encrypt to issue a certificate, then load the certificate

Could malware that infects a webserver set a HPKP key to a private key that only it knew (ala cryptolocker), and then ransom that key? I'm sure we could survive a total webserver compromise (with some level of lost data), but losing ac

It isn't, but it's hard for outsiders compare that pay to their local pay. Ex: if you are making that in SF, then that's different than making it in Billings, MT, or remote. So for example, that seems about right for Portlan

I'm pretty sure the specification for C# disallows any instance where the arguments to a function are not evaluated at the time the function is called aka lazy evaluation. This, of course, is the whole point of the statement 'try

Indeed, the LM hash was easily cracked by l0pht back in the day since the lanman hash could be split in two and cracked separately, meaning it only needed to consider all 7 character combinations. Also, note that with the rainbow tables (fo
