I guess you'd have to worry about malware breaking out of the VM as well, but are there many exploits that do that these days?

These days I fund my Netflix account using digital gift cards purchased through PayPal's eBay store, since they frequently sell them at a 15% discount. If it wasn’t for that I would just pay Netflix directly.

Their efficacy depends on your learning style. I personally get bored pretty easily with lecture-style learning, even through an online course. I need more experiential learning. So with cybersecurity I’m picking it up through: - Study guid

I miss hanging out in #CSS with the topic explicitly saying the channel wasn’t about Counter-Strike: Source. You’d still get new people asking for a scirm every so often though.

Some people have amassed a collection of channels throughout the years that were probably pretty active in the past, but aren’t anymore. Some people like me might notice this and remove them from my autojoin list while others won’t care sin

When I first added it to my account years ago it was $2CAD/mo through my carrier. Now they charge $5CAD/mo to add it to new plans. Ruthless.

I’m failing at finding the original report about this but this is the line I keep seeing repeated in PRs: > Nationally, there were 301,873 cybersecurity job openings in the private and public sectors during the 12-month period between Ap

I think we’ve done a great job of convincing each other within our tech bubble than everyone wants a SPA. Not sure the general public cares for our enthusiasm though.

That’s actually what the device in the article does. > The device, which cost about $100 to build, was equipped with a 3G-enabled modem, allowing it to be remote-controlled so long as it had cell service. > The warship listens for a h

If the password is a predictable, low-length alphanumeric password it’s not going to take long for something like a multi-GPU machine with some dictionaries to break it.

Replying to the other comments under this reply: in Canada we check for past history of mental illness but don’t flag gun license applicants just because of that. They need to have a history of being treated due to illness that could lead

Based on the ESA statement it’s probably a case of hanlon's razor where they have nobody on-staff to do a proper incident response. They also said they “shut down the site”, which really meant they removed/hidden the page in WordP

Several years ago I worked on a monolithic website that used static files with no templating engine. The problem is they had so many contractors working on changes for specific ranges of content that there were a variety of ways that even a

So far it’s just been a lot of theory (books, man pages, reading PoC code and vulnerability disclosures, dusting off old texts on networking) and practice (CTFs, bug bounty, writing my own exploitable apps then fixing them after, trying out

After doing design for so long I just didn’t feel excited about what I was doing day-to-day nor did I find the discussions in the industry that interesting. But I never really got tired of programming and at this point in my life the latter

I was talking to a non-technical friend about this last night! The gist being that grepping your nmap output may not be visual eye candy to us, but it can still invoke a sense of mystery and magic in others since they don’t have a firm idea

Nice, this is a timely challenge for me since I’m making a career switch from UX/UI design towards cyber security (background is CompSci so get to dust off some knowledge I didn’t get to apply much since graduation).

This is like an A/B test to optimize what kind of shitty behaviour they can get away with for their backcatalogue games.

Unfortunately you’re one of the very few that is willing to vote with your dollar and actually signal to Bethesda that being shitty can affect their bottom line (versus people who bought the game, become salty about it on Twitter but don’t

I’ve seen a few luxury condo buildings in Canada with a 24/7 convenience store and self-checkout, though with an entrance that only tenants can access (and I guess surveillance). So this is starting to happen already, but proliferation

I gave up discussing this on reddit because it seems most gamers don’t want to look deep into the business or ethical issues about situations like this, horse armor, etc. “Give and inch, take a mile”.
