Don't know if I agree re RC4; BEAST is an issue with CBC, not AES. AES-GCM should be ok, if not superior to the ancient RC4.

The most important part of jb for me is the ability to run an host based firewall, and have per application rules. I use FirewallIP on iOS 5, I hope it works on iOS 6. I block hundreds of ad and tracking servers as global policy. This funct

I find the default iOS popup advertising an app the worst part, by large the app offers extra functionality over the web. the popup disrupts the experience and I also have the same feelings of rage on random site for some random stupid bull

One million trees just died. The problem with some of the earlier HP printers was that they would accept unsigned firmware updates, you could literally reflash the thing with an update instruction in postscript. Some work was done at Columb

It's likely to be an application logic authorization bug; the application doesn't check the context to see if it should return that info. Being web it's something silly like the student-id stored in the user cookie is used to to build the (

Problem is he used an auditing/penetration testing tool POST disclosure, and did it without authorization. The availability of these tools puts weapon grade exploits in the hands of those with limited understanding of the consequences. I do

Ugh mail chimp. Isn't it incorporated in Belize? Former home of John "badass mutherfucker" McAfee? Home of endemic corruption from highest levels of government? And we hand over our email addresses? What?

Nice sentiment but I might be that 1% that pockets that $2k after 4 weeks of corporate brainwashing. Also this is a blog post from 2009 you should tag the article title (2009).

The need for a digital probate policy seems very important. He based this his from esr, and the link to esr is now broken. Is there a central clearinghouse for thes documents? A digitally signed will should be far harder to forge and could

How did you calculate that? Those units don't quite work out. It's a totally different architecture to your standard i7/radeon home mining rig.

Efficency is mostly about the cost of the hardware (purchase and running costs), power usage and performance. Purchase, running cost and power usage are not part of your efficiency calculation. ATI cards have traditionally had better hashin

Ok well blocks generate at an average of 1 / 15 minutes, so about 96 blocks a day. Each block generate 25 BTC reward. At ~14.00 USD/BTC on MtGox right now that about $34k. So the maximum reward in USD if you could totally control the block

Nokia pushed out an update that uses an http proxy for Phone to server TlS. The worst thing about this is that they have diluted their security model (tls in tls is resistant to single interception-- ie tor). They did this so boneheads that

Nokia is not intercepting your https! They are doing nothing dodgy here. Everyone who says "https interception" is hard, you are right. Unless you can install arbitrary trusted root He has presented no evidence of this. All he did was snif

http://gaurangkp.wordpress.com has this completely wrong. I wished he had published my comment on his blog (I was first post). Nokia is NOT intercepting https. The actual TLS session is run via a https proxy. No interception occurring. Th

I noticed Microsoft was doing this too, publishing psd templates for its smart devices. Problem being that psd is horribly proprietary, all that matters is the geometry, right? Why not use open graphics formats?

Despite efforts of the EU and the ITU to put the Internet genie back in her bottle, she grows louder and prouder every day. She is still in her formative days, as the old world money tries to tame her radical free spirit. Let's hope decisio

Absolutely fascinating. Very helpful advice that you wouldn't read in a mainstream travel guide. Unfortunately corruption is everywhere and knowing how to respond and knowing the local customs is very important if you wish to keep your skin
