I disagree with the reasoning, and I normally eat lunch at my desk because it's convenient and I get to watch crap on the internet. First off, being the person that gets to put out fires is in no way a certain path to a promotion. And

It will, most anti-cheat software operate as a device driver so they have access to the WDK libraries. Valve isn't even the worst offender, some other anti-cheat will not allow you to run ANY virtualization software while the anti-chea

Anti-cheat protections use exactly the same methods rootkits use to "monitor" your system, it's one of those things we grudgingly accept when playing multiplayer games. It's not even what Valve and co are doing with the

No, the point is not to make your password more secure in case of a data breach like this (although it can, since you can store a password that is very long and composed of random characters) The idea is that even if your password for kicks

I work in the field and have seen companies who spend several million a month, agree with your key points. For companies of that size, data is everything, if an ad is underperforming it stops running, if an ad is bringing you low quality cl

I wasn't going to comment on this story, as I'm clearly biased. I used to work for an early facebook marketing partner, and I am very familiar with their advertising. This video is sensationalist, a large portion of all internet a

But hiring him offers no guarantee that he will be able to find any other bugs. That's the beauty of bounties, it allows people to decide whether they want to do the right thing or not, if there was no bug bounty more people are just t

Yeah and you can also go to starbucks, pay £1.50 for a coffee and pee outside of the toilet. I don't know, is your argument against this cafe that some people are cunts? Well, they are.

There is a Japanese animation from 2009 called Eden of the East, in which the main character funds a software startup that has a product which is very similar to that: take pictures on your phone and tap onto a network of users to identify

Yes, it defintely is. The data needs to have either been obtained directly from the users complying with laws regarding PII or you need to have all necessary rights to use the data (if obtained from a third party) Names are definitely PII.

It'd be nice to know what the author of the post got out of trying even harder (!!) and joining Exec that way. Are we talking nice experience, multiple promotions, million-dollar exit, or other stuff? I, honestly, don't try hard a

Note that using custom audiences to target people that you found in Facebook is against the TOS and could get your ad account suspended. It's supposed to be first-party data that you have obtained yourself, the terms are a bit vague on

I don't think you understand, it's not about a reward; it's about having a clearly defined process to report security bugs that is inclusive of every kind of bug. If you don't have that, people don't know if they ar

I think it's ridiculous, I've reported similar "out of scope" bugs and got no bounty for them. Even worse are the companies that DON'T state any kind of bug bounty or instructions to report a security bug... I found

Compiled programs are as easy to read the source for (at least the relevant bits) as interpreted ones. Still, if you encrypt it and someone gains access only to the database, they wouldn't be able to use the tokens. Every little bit he

If the web server is making API calls, encryption could still protect you from some SQL injection attacks, even if the decryption key for all tokens was in the web app code. With a system of this scale, the web server will probably be makin

Yeah, same thing. I remember a large retailer I did some pentesting for a long time ago, they kept the encryption key for credit card numbers in the same table as the card numbers. Doh.

by mpeg 13y ago
Wow that's terrible, I guess it means they stored their access tokens with no encryption. Personally feeling slightly smug now, I actually applied for a job there not too long ago and got a half hearted rejection without any feedback (

Why not let people buy it? Says the public release is in "a few weeks" - I'll probably have forgotten it exists by then, but now I would probably impulse pay $20 for early access. Also, is the code going to be in github?

From the screenshots it's obvious that the captured data is an HTTP form submission in facebook. So they didn't have access to private messages, they just intercepted internet traffic and relied on it being unencrypted. Facebook d

Thanks for the reply, I see that you fixed the refresh crash too; having a nsfw option would be pretty cool. Funny enough, "iAlien Gallery", a similar iOS app, just got updated with a nsfw option.
