If you only support public key or two factor authentication you won't need to worry about brute force attacks. Most SSH brute force attacks are dictionary based using common usernames.

This was what I was hoping for rather than an ascii terminal style search. Does DDG have an API?

You can argue that the pace of innovative growth is slowing because of whatever reason, but I would like to post a few things worth thinking about, given that I was thinking about this the other day. Firstly lets look at things such as mann

The problem with all of this is that security specialists (of which I am one, guilty as charged) have historically campaigned for more complex passwords. This worked well for conventional (non-clustered, non-accelerated) password cracking m

For a decent counterpoint, see here[1]. Ignore the pro-murdoch spiel in there, much as you'd hopefully ignore the apple sycopanthy from Gruber. Personally I don't see the Daily as a failure. Of all the newspapers I see online in the UK, the

This is the reason why I bought a top end early 2011 MBP rather than the newest widget version. I knew that was the end of a long line, but should last a fair amount of abuse for some time to come.

Just wondering, is there any technology we've seen actually used today that could produce a hundredth of c within the next 100 years? Would this be something we could see with ion propulsion for example?

This post is the epitome of first world problems. Think about it. It's a phone that runs Android 4.2, one of the most advanced mobile operating systems out there. It's got access to the Google Play store where you can get apps that can do a

To be fair these tend to be large multinational companies that have their investigations closed by the then prime minister. That's a lot of oil being used to lubricate the wheels of justice.

Hmmmm... That's a bit shady, especially charging for MPEG-2 support and other codecs. Not quite sure what they're getting at there.

No, it's basically a dressing down and formal disciplinary process.

Whomever put that up will be breached, which is not a pleasant experience. The level of dressing down will be aligned with the sensitivity of the environment the account is used for. In the case of MilFLIP, it's an Internet facing resource

Yes, that's the one. Yes, I know the guy in question personally. He's an extremely well respected security specialist who unfortunately got the full kafkaesque treatment[1]. [1] - http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/008118.html

If you need to make $1-$2k in a short period the best way to do this is to sell your things. You should have enough things to make that in enough time and you can always buy replacement things when you have the money later. Once you've sold

What Rob Graham is saying is very similar to the situation for many years with the Computer Misuse Act 1990 in the UK. It took the conviction of someone for not hacking for the establishment to realise that the law indeed was an ass and n

This is awesome, I've yet to figure out a practical use for it. I might try running something like CP/M-86 on it though!

I loved Frontier: Elite II on the Amiga, I played it for 6 years. It was probably one of the main reasons I still had an Amiga as my main computer in the late 90s, and I'd only got to around mid-level in terms of my status. If this was 2000

It looks really nice and I'd look into it if it existed, but it doesn't. Is there some sort of trend rising in putting mockups of vapourware? I really like the split screen and markdown support. That would definitely get my interest. But pl

I really wanted to like Limmy's show, I really did, but after 3 episodes I found I'd barely laughed, and even then only at Deedee's overanalysis of what the hardest item in his kitchen was.
