Yeah, I'm not reading 15K LOC... What makes it clever? What is even the point of linking a 15K file?

Go came out in 2009. What's your point? I'd sure hope they'd look at languages older than them.

Exactly how I see it. People want a higher bounty, and are also curious of any more bugs deeper. But companies want them to stop at the first layer. It seems too difficult to define how deep is too deep, especially since at least he reporte

Why not "evaluate" them under a VM instead? Seems a lot more likely to actually work...

I give equal likelihood to it being malware related, to somebody moving just disabling a settings on some server that can potentially connect to the server hosting the key. I don't think it's somebody just posting it online, or mo

Is there really no readily available technology to find locations of radio stations?

Any list comprehension that is 1. Longer than ~80-120 characters 2. Can't be explained in 1 comment line Should be written as a nested for loop IMO.

What exactly makes this any better than MacDown (OSX), and Markdown Pad 2 (Windows)? Both have side live preview, and accomplish pretty much everything. There could be some QOL improements in them, but I don't see how caret.io is much

I cleaned up the README and hosted the decrypter on Github: https://github.com/eugenekolo/linux-ransomware-decrypter

I wouldn't trust something specifically named "elizabethwarrenwiki" as trust worthy. But, relying on Wikipedia isn't too much better. Not for politics.

I'm a bit surprised that the benefit of claiming to be Cherokee for the sake of college applications isn't brought up. But overall, the author tries heavily to not take a stand, or insult anybody.

Your usage of OSX must be different than mine, because I get prompted far more than I'd like.

I'd call it a combination of it being extremely popular (attackers want it), minimal technical competence, PHP, and a history of really bad bugs.

Not sure what you mean, but the site linked above says they do it <10KB and then a few paragraphs down says how they patched it to go down to a bit more than 5KB. So, I don't think it's a typo.

Does anybody have some comments on the closing statements on Google's 10KB secret?

But the idea is that $400 won't get you a machine powerful enough to run OS X flawlessly. I too would like to pay very little to have high computing power.

I think your use of dots speaks for itself there ;). I know of several companies that log DNS, and it wouldn't pass inspection by a human operator which also has to be considered for something to be stealthy.

by eugenekolo2 11y ago
It's a fun little program, but calling it stealthy is a reach. It seems to just extract a bytestream from the subdomain of the domain requested. Very easy to detect, very easy to see, and not much data can be xfered. It's equally

It's NOP in x86 asm and the guy's handle. https://twitter.com/_x90__ Or what is the second line to you?

Why are they using asymmetric encryption for passwords, SSN, and tax information? I've never heard of that done.

Where do you see him "unhappy with Python 3 to the point he seems to be ditching Python"? I only see him saying he can't use Python 3 at work. That's fairly common and frustrating, but it's not unhappiness in Python

Networking is still invaluable, but capital isn't a necessity in software startups. I do think that either bravery or a nesting egg to fall back on is though.
119.
by eugenekolo2 11y ago
I think it's quite different in the software startup industry. You usually don't need much capital, it's more that you need to have a failsafe in case you go bust to not end up unemployed and unable to pay bills.

I use something similar to generate API hooks for a large library.
