While I hesitate to call any automated web app testing tool "easy" the Hudson/Selenium combination is VERY nice, and free. I'm a huge fan.

For me it really goes with stress. When things are running smoothly and I have a decent amount of free time, I sleep well, eat healthily, and work out regularly. When things are busy, and I have a huge to-do list, my stress level is way u

Try this: http://www.google.com/search?q=comcast%20advertising%20unlim... You'll see that they have lawsuits against them for falsely advertising unlimited internet access, as well as many reports of them advertising "unlimited" services

While codecs might get better, 480p is small potatoes compared to 1080p. Moving 100kB/sec (when adding both upstream and downstream) all the time is pretty easy. Seeding legal torrents on the "unlimited" line I signed up for, could easily

Did you just say that the reason C++ and Java are popular is developers don't want to spend clients money writing everything from scratch (in what? assembler? fortran? C?) in the most simplified way possible? I don't even know where to star

Absolutely true. The advantage is the same regardless of billing model. I've found you can't compete against off-shore outfits on price if you want to keep making money. So don't even try. Your competitive advantage is quality, communica

That's assuming the client can tell the difference. Most non-technical clients won't have a clue how long something should take.

Fixed bids aren't so bad. The trick is learning to do really good estimates. Figure out how much information/requirements you need in order to create an estimate, and get that data first. Document what YOU understand the scope of work to

If I'm traveling for work (i.e. not a vacation), being able to do billable work while in the air means I'm not losing tons of $ in addition to suffering through a coach flight. Obviously there's some work that can be done off-line, but hav

1) That's only useful if the password for the account you're trying to hack uses a word in dict/words. Obviously attack spaces can be reduced by rules and whatnot, but I'm not sure that's really the part I'm missing. 2) The "thousand, with

Sure, but if someone has a password of 'tim5RaWk5', you'll waste a year trying to crack that one account. With out any salt you could have 30-50% of all the accounts cracked using an existing rainbow table in about an hour. Also, most sites

As I mention in my other post, with current hardware, my understanding is that that type of attack would take on average one year per account. Obviously strict password rules (minimum length, etc...) shrink the attack space dramatically, bu

Wait. You're suggesting that a fast algorithm allows a real-time comprehensive dictionary + variant attack with modern hardware? My understanding is that a Xeon 3 GHz proc can do about 4 million hashes per second, and a quad core intel cor

Using a known salt isn't great, but it still makes extracting the password orders of magnitude more difficult. Hashed passwords are typically attacked using a rainbow file. Basically you use a dictionary file to hash words from the diction

by modoc 18y ago
I'm not sure I agree, or else I'm missing your point. Assuming a scenario of using a single MD5 hash action on a user password, and a user with a password of "password1", no salt means that the simplest dictionary + number rainbow attack wi

If you mean blogging about political issues from within China, then yes. If you mean forgoing any semblance of social decency for the sole purpose of antagonizing people and destroying positive discourse or social interaction, then no.

Sorry, I had read your comment to mean that Apple was failing to gain traction in the corporate arena due to being hype instead of substance, versus the no-hype-all-delivery corporate vendors. My experience with most corporate vendors is th

Yeah, because large corporations never buy products due to often baseless hype... Oh wait, other than some Cxx being on some other companies board of directors, I think hype is the 2nd most common reason for corporate software/hardware sel

You raise some good points, but the original question was specific to startups, so I'm making the assumption that 90% of the business really lives on hosted servers or is backed up on hosted servers somewhere else, and everyone has the abil

The one caveat I'd toss out there, in the XSS realm (which can be used to deface your site, steal user credit cards, etc...), is to be careful about 3rd party javascript includes. Those players are really big fish, since a successful hack
