the quote used from the source seems to mean they don't know anything. a keylogger is benign? by what definition of benign are we operating under here? downside of things being "off the record" is this could be someone who oveheard two guys

surely every time you re-invent an algorithm you make it more efficient? part of the problem is that there isn't a standard of "maximized efficiency" algorithms for programmers to use, so anything they come up with could be better or worse

oh yeah, if you run this script with different python versions, you will experience mysterious failures probably. in some limited testing I did, I was able to serialize a function on 64-bit Linux and have it execute on 32-bit Windows. I eve

pickle can't represent functions. pickle is higher level and (I theorize) its authors realized the quandary you can work yourself into with function serialization. you could use pickle, you would just have to have a more complicated client

this is pretty cool, but be aware that he is using marshal to send function objects to remote systems, so you are marrying yourself to its list of requirements as well: http://docs.python.org/library/marshal.html it'll work great for simp

this would be interesting behavior to really dig-in and investigate (in all of my spare time, of course). NT is a lot like linux (no, really), external hard drives and flash drives are represented as SCSI drives exactly like local SATA disk

"the IO system is pretty bad" really? can you provide some analysis here? I've done a bit of hacking on I/O layer stuff in both linux and NT and I haven't seen anything that would lead to that conclusion ...

you do need insider knowledge to know that the PLCs cessation of function would cause your effect. stuxnet didn't stop the PLCs, it changed their operation. how did they know what to change it to..?

if you exec the shell on your own (and make auth decisions on your own) outside of PAM you are basically destroying meaningful logging of successful/unsuccessful authentication, right?

the purpose of offsetof/CONTAINING_RECORD is so that you don't "see" the pointer arithmetic, it's safely ensconced in a macro ;) one advantage is it produces a generic linked list API. you can write routines to traverse, add, and remove ele
