Why? Any snooper still sees a DNS lookup for this domain followed by a connection to it. This is not such a dynamic site - it's fairly obvious what you will be accessing.

I can fluently read Cyrillic. I learned it as a child in a few minutes for fun. It's fluently reading any actual language written in Cyrillic that gets me :P

I hope you are deliberately lying about where this is still going on, otherwise why are you jeopardizing this potentially important operation by bragging about where you're conducting it? You are only inviting trouble from the thugs.

It's a horrible idea to keep unencrypted copies of a wallet on any remote server. Or encrypted copies that anyone other than yourself is capable of accessing. It is idiotic to keep coins in a wallet that has been created or been under

It's much more about desired usage patterns than amount of storage. Cassandra and RDBMS's differ quite a lot in how you replicate, consistency guarantees, performant read patterns, performant write patterns, how you handle recove

djb's cdb is an excellent use case for this, as updates are infrequent and stale data is tolerable. It is an extremely fast constant database that when hot will sit snugly in page cache.

If you don't want it to hit disk, why don't you just not log to disk? Are you running a unix variant? There are several ways to do this. Why not log to /dev/shm or a pipe, instead of changing nginx? Rsyslog is also pr

There are lots of things that use updatable firmware that can read and write data in interesting places. Portability is often an issue, so I guess it boils down to motivations of the writer.

There's a lot of persistent, executable storage on modern computers. I don't know how often attackers take advantage of these, but if you suspect a threat against you is capable of taking advantage of them, then you may want to b

I'd assume he's just a botmaster that happens to automate creepy scanning of compromised email accounts for such images, but the fact that 2 of the victims knew each other suggests that he could be doing targeted phishing on new t

Rootkits exist that survive OS reinstalls. I don't know how prevalent they are, but if you expect a target to try to reinstall their operating system to attempt to purge an infection it is possible to counter this.

The author claimed to have been a private eye in the 80s, and presumably knew how to investigate with some degree of success. It's not clear how much experience, capacity or energy her victimized daughter had in this time of great dis

I think of 0mq as being a really powerful prototyping tool. If you require guarantees or complex topologies, it will save you a good amount of work to get the thing running. I have never gotten low latency from it, but I know that others

It's important to have some way of distinguishing "problems" from things you have no control over, also. Some things you have to accept, which sometimes boils down to locating an incorrect assumption that you have about the

A friend of mine travels internationally constantly for work. During one trip to Cambodia, he went to a range to shoot machine guns, and he slipped a few 7.62 nato rounds into his pocket at some point. They ended up in his travel bag, whe

Water should only be used in extreme situations where no horses, humans, or cats can be coaxed into a milking. Urine has well known properties which it lends to the steel.

It's part of a hardening process that has been employed by weapon smiths for time immemorial, known as "quenching". After you form the laptop case / sword / rifle barrel, and it is still hot, it is to be submerged

I can't say how this applies within the NSA, but (security) hackers tend to write better publicly released code than academic mathematicians, as the constraints imposed on them tend to encourage soundness of implementation over soundne

On an equally motivated and skilled playing field, you would be correct. The bugs that will be exploited by meaningful adversaries will not be stopped by this effort. Latent exploitable bugs in most of the targeted mature software require

I agree that it is nice of google to offer to reward defensive reinforcement of some of the open source software they rely on. But I contend that this effort is unlikely to produce meaningful results that stand any chance at all of counter
