If you also look into the Makefile accompanied, it's just copying itself to smr file and giving it executable rights. So smr.c when built outputs it's source code. The makefile is not large. It's a makefile for all the entrie

I think this is one side effect of development. We are trying to implement any feature that would be nice to have into every software. LESSOPEN or LESSPIPE is a feature that is already achievable via manual means. But automation is the ki

I'm new on the boat about systemd debate so I'm still reading and reviewing the situation. But the more I read the more I'm getting away from systemd. In principal everybody is on terms with the need for a new and modern init

There is also google. But we use them in a way or not. There are some nut-jobs or bad-ass people out there not using google, going with security enhanced phones and ddg. This does not make average or the 95percentile bad behaved. This makes

I'm not telling my setup is bullet proof. I'm just saying I gave in on some threats. I do not try to protect against all threats via all possible ways. I try to make my sensitive data to be unattractive and harder to get. Latest p

Sure. I used script blockers for a while. But after having to whitelist a huge number of them and loosing very long and precious time, I gave in. I do not put sensitive and important data on my computer. (Actually I was not doing that for a

It's really a hell. Average website over there is using at least 3 - 4 external domains for css, js, fonts and so. Getting a working website without nearly whitelisting many of them is highly improbable right now.

Old school virii that could burn your display card comes to my mind. Working with root is always a threat. A livecd is consience but still does not make it fully secure. I told I am being picky. Most of my concerns may be handled but their

I'm sorry but 3am ringer is not working on my colleagues. They are still not giving a damn devs. I don't remember how many times I had to debug instead of them or design better for them. By the way, hacker news developer quality i

:) When devs are in the loop it always comes to "working in localhost" debate. I like to say developers are working or living in their isolated bubble. And whenever their code comes out of that bubble and reach the real world ops

You are absolutely right. But what about screw up vectors or being careless stack up in this? People are sloppy. It's easy to do mistakes and loose everything. Working with crackme binaries needs more attention.

Someone still calling sysadmins instead of devops in HackerNews is a rare thing. :) I know many so called sysadmins who could not pass this test in a reasonable time. Sometimes people without even basic script-fu or networking knowledge are

Well, email is the primary threat distribution medium right now. So If a security engineer do not show scepticism about an unsigned, unencrypted email from an unverified source, I get picky. Looking from probability perspective, yes you are

The post started very well but with the first screen shot, my mind started tingling: What the heck a security engineer is doing in a root shell? An unknown binary sent via an email is run in a root shell. There is also no mention of email s

Also there is no mention of unrecoverable file analysis like error handling of cp operations in the article. And with this many files it would not be feasible without using an error log file. So going with a simple block copy should suffice

by fsniper 12y ago
Ok, In this case why use a file to file copy like tar,cp, or rsync instead of a block copy like dd?

No I'm not talking about targeting banks directly. What about targeting consumers or ecomm sites? A consumer need to give card information, websites should make vpos operations. These can be target vectors too.

Would it? With this sophistication and latest exposures of CAs security I'm not fully sure that TLS MITM is a remote probability.

by fsniper 12y ago
Yes. I believe the same sophisticated attack could be used to target banking systems. It would just need a few more sophisticated services to be in place or more inside information. But why bitcoin is targeted? Because bitcoin is an open pr
