As long as we're making tangential recommendations and expecting to be reintroduced to things within 24 hours, I'd like to throw John Dies at the End into the ring.

You think the most common way to distribute drugs, weapons, and child porn is over Tor hidden services? I'm incredibly skeptical. Doubtless a significant percentage of child porn is distributed that way, but I'm under the impressi

Silence speaks volumes. I imagine they don't relish sending out eyewash cables, and use them them to misdirect conversations that are already happening at the agency. If the conversation never began, or was held behind closed doors, th

Personally I thought the detail about them forming pair bonds and cuddling was the most adorable thing I had ever heard about a bug. I'd save that species.

I'm imagining they detonated it so it wouldn't do something unexpected and potentially even more dangerous, but I came to this thread to ask because I wasn't sure.

It takes more than an attention-grabbing headline to make something clickbait. There is no real financial incentive here; they gave their talk a provocative title so people would show up. There are not misrepresenting the facts; you can get

Superphish showed us that Dell is clearly willing to do something of that nature, but the data the hackers are alleged to possess (shared secrets, support histories, ...) isn't the kind of thing you'd sell. There is no proof, but

Theres nothing wrong with presenting work at an intermediate stage. For instance, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller presented their automotive research a year before they could control cars remotely[0]. They cobbled together the primitives y

"Instead of using the NIST recommended curve points [ScreenOS] uses self-generated basis points..." [0] The way I read this statement is that each device generates its own set of points. If this is the case, I don't see how i

Juniper hasn't released nearly enough details to conclude that this was related to Operation Aurora.

The title is a quote from Fogerty, so I think it is appropriate. Additionally, I took the correct impression from "sounding like."

You might try wrapping a layer of strong tape at the part that keeps fraying while it is still functional to reinforce it.

You probably won't see this response, but in case you do: I see what you're saying, and I'm not going to criticize decisions people made more than a decade ago, but we've outgrown the robustness principle. You should not

You're totally right! Security practitioners hate the robustness principle! This article, for instance, contains a small rant. http://noxxi.de/research/http-evader-explained-8-borderline-... At a minimum, the robu

I found this headline quite refreshing, every other news source I've seen cover it discusses terrorists using Telegram and Signal to "go dark."

People don't like Telegram because they claim to be a company which cares deeply about security and privacy, offering a "200% secure" chat client, while blatantly ignoring the concerns of the security community. Doing things

I really doubt Washington Posts' sympathies lie with poor ISIS because they lost some social media accounts. If they were condemning anyone (which they weren't), it was Pavel Durov himself, not Telegram. This piece was about Durov

It's hard to tell the difference between "using with impunity" and "totally being monitored by organizations who don't wish to tip their hand." Neither is particularly more speculative than the other. Edit: ...

This thread seems to be generating a great deal of redundancy. If you're here to ask, "How come they were able to ban channels when Telegram is supposed to be private?", as sk4kerto mentioned channels are a feature for broadc
