Some thoughts from someone who has been in the security biz for a while: 1. Security is more a mindset than anything else. Get used to finding the edge cases. Think "how can I break this..." or "how can I get around this rest

Another book you may find useful is “when I say no I feel guilty”. It has helped me with similar issues.

The legal system is exorbitantly expensive. I had a neighbor sue me over a land dispute (yes, they’re that petty). My lawyers informed me that I was looking at $80-200k in legal bills to take even this little thing to trial. It doesn’t surp

But the parent comment I responded to used the example passphrase “touch-some-grass” which is most definitely not a uniform distribution of words. Yes, done correctly this is secure.

But with transformer models it would probably be trivial to predict the top 10 next words if your passphrase is grammatically correct. Interesting password cracker idea …

The TCPA allows suits to be filed in local courts, including small claims. You do not need to mess about with federal courts.

Typically these guys will use the same prerecorded message for all phone calls. I'll record one of them when it's convenient for me, then just note every phone number and time of day I receive another call with the same message. T

Average is about $3000. I tend to only go after the most egregious violators so this amount represents at least 5-10 calls all after being asked to be placed on their do not call list.

I have several personas that have made the rounds in the underground somewhere. It’s actually kind of interesting - I made up a persona back in 2016 or so and even six years later I’ll get calls for that “person”. So while sometimes the inf

Pro se just means I did it myself - no lawyer involved. My costs therefore were limited to filing and service fees (about $100). I’d say I spent about 10 hours working on it (spare time over weekends etc). My settlement amount in that case

I am not a lawyer so take what I say with a grain of salt. The last suit I filed against a telemarketer was against the “beneficiary” company as the lead generator who called me was of course overseas. They claimed that they could not be he

Exactly right. It’s actually a fun exercise in social engineering, and can be a fascinating sociological experiment if you’re into that sort of thing. The most successful persona unfortunately is that of a slightly senile senior citizen. Se

The short answer is, you can, but it takes a lot of work. I’ve settled with several telemarketers who have called me (as a pro se litigant) and forwarded information that helped a large telecom company back in 2008 with their suit against o

Well, it’s not quite that simple- especially for an end user. I don’t have the ability to trace it- and even if I did most of the scam calls I get these days are from overseas voip providers. So I have to invest a lot of time to get to a U.

You can collect $$ for spam calls already in the United States, with laws on the books today- see the [TCPA]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_Consumer_Protection_... ). Problem is that you have to track down the

Not related to the "creation" of the Internet, but Clifford Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg is a great read and I would highly recommend it. I also second "Where Wizards Stay Up Late".

TCP sequence numbers count bytes not packets, which is why they don't increment by 1 for each packet (unless the previous packet only included one byte of payload). Agreed with other commenters, this is a great article- thanks for post

Don’t forget that processes can inject code into other processes on the same session, so you can hijack other “innocent” processes to further bypass this rate limit.

How are we still talking about this? The original “architecture” was just stupid. Splitting thousands of hours of video into 1-2s chunks, uploading them to s3, then processing them in isolation? Does anyone even consider the monster layers

I’ve found those “obvious” checks to be useful to catch unexpected hardware issues as well. I had a customer upset that my code was crashing- I sent a debug version with asserts around some arithmetic core to the algorithm and lo and behold

Sure, Ticketmaster sucks. But just to give one example, 11 years after Tim Berners Lee invented the web, Ticketmaster was selling tickets to the 2004 Olympic Games online: https://web.archive.org/web/20040206011648&#x2F
