According to this EFF presentation [1] (slide 24) where they scanned the internet for SSL servers in 2010, it's actually an underestimate -- in fact around 99.995% of servers use SHA1. The query shown only considers certs created in 20

You don't need a preimage attack for SHA-1 to cause problems with CAs, just collisions. For example, MD5 does not have any preimage attacks I'm aware of, but it is possible to create rogue CA certificates that use MD5 [1]. Bruce S

RSDS is part of the debug information section. The structure looks like (using the construct library's syntax): CV_RSDS_HEADER = Struct("CV_RSDS", Const(Bytes("Signature", 4), "RSDS"), GUID

You could also automate the backend – set it up so that the botnet could draw on the BTC account to purchase new VPS hosting for its command and control servers, migrate when the old ones get taken down, etc. Of course, without the creativi

There is reason to believe that it's true except in exceptional situations, and this is covered in the article: Theoretical calculations apparently indicate that in a changing environment, the fitness gap between the current allele an

This idea has been around for a long time; see e.g. Zalewski's paper from 2003: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/juggling_with_packets.txt Cool to see an implementation though!

There was a nice article called "An editor recalls some hopeless papers" about all the "proofs" the editor had received alleging to have disproved Cantor's Theorem, so I'd say you're exactly right that man

That seems unlikely; otherwise you could stay off the radar by just establishing a protocol of only calling your terrorist friends, rather than having them call you (or vice versa, if that's the direction a "hop" indicates).

I don't think they're doing anything unethical by not releasing their source code, but the state of the art sure could progress a hell of a lot faster if releasing code were the norm. Just look at all the papers that have built

Is there any way to create an anonymized link to a set of data and experimental results? Right now I'd love to use this, but all the conferences I submit to are double-blind, so there's no good way to let reviewers have access to my experim

On a related note, apparently the earthy smell that appears after it rains is caused by actinomycetes: http://birdandmoon.com/intheair.html

This is one of my main worries about my impending graduation. Right now, I work on what I find interesting, publish when I have what I think are good results, and have not found that anyone has tried to dictate what I should be working on.
