This seems like it would be much easier as a feature on your router/access point. Their description suggests that it's just using a blacklist of MAC addresses so it would be pretty easy to add to something like OpenWRT or a captiv

Unfortunately you need a Windows license per VM. I guess that at many places you'd just buy datacenter edition, but that's a bit too much for small businesses.

That's the "worst" RC4 attack I'm aware of. But I'm not sure that it's quite at the level of a practical attack - certainly not as bad as POODLE.

It seems that this is an attack on the CBC-mode ciphers but doesn't change anything about the RC4 ciphers. RC4 is mentioned in passing as having weaknesses, but is it actually broken? If we can't disable SSL3 completely would usin

This seems like such a neat, simple idea. Perfect for integration with IFTTT or similar. I'm a little surprised that nothing like this exists already. I can see how you could easily build one yourself. But that doesn't give you th

I think it also has a built in GSM module so that you don't need to pair it to WiFi. If it's completely standalone then that's particularly nice for the shop/hotel use case. And makes it easier for average home users. Bu

From a comment on that blog: That would have been even more work, because there was at the time no infrastructure in Setup for having 32-bit-only components. (And then automatically uninstalling it when WOW64 was disabled.) And besides, all

My understanding was that, roughly, if you pay a regular payment as rent for a property then you have an AST - whether the contract says so or not. This is mainly in the context of house/flat rentals though; I realise that perhaps per-

In the UK you almost certainly have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (even if the agent says you don't). This gives you a lot of strong rights which you can use if you know how. In practice the agent or landlord has a lot of leverage but

Is there a better workaround that doesn't hinder IPv6? I agree that it would be better not to harm IPv6 growth. But if the alternative is to break the IPv4 internet then the choice seems obvious.

It's certainly true that the UK has a sort of dead-man's-switch (depending on exactly what the letter of last resort says). But I presume that there is also a more active communication method as well. If the Prime Minister wante

It isn't just going to come from cloud/distributed systems. You can scale up to a huge extent just with average x86 servers now and these are competing with what used to be done on a mainframe. So even many companies who don'

If you're in the UK then you should contact your MP about this to let them know what you think. And you need to do it now - the vote is on Monday. Perhaps if they realise what people think about this they might reconsider. Contacting y

Yes, this is separate from whatever GCHQ are doing. GCHQ are (I assume) intercepting data out in the wild wherever they can then storing and analysing that themselves. This is apparently covered under other laws, but certainly isn't af

It may be slightly more clever than that. David Allen Green suggests[1] that this moves the legislation so that it is directly implemented by UK law rather than as a result of an EU law. This means that the current court ruling wouldn'

Can you clarify what you mean by "browsing data"? I understand why some data could be useful for debugging, but it's the DPI-style data that I'm most concerned about. I'd assumed that it would be too expensive for I

SSL 2.0 is a disaster How bad is this? I have internet-facing production web servers running software which (unfortunately) does not support TLS even in the most recent versions. Are there practical attacks I should be worried about?

I've just checked, and I have this for one of my .com namecheap domains but not the other. I suspect that this is a side effect of Namecheap's "WhoisGuard" feature. This hides your Whois details, and I think there was a

So they couldn't call it "SSL 3" because it couldn't be seen to be the Netscape proposal - fair enough. But it's a shame they didn't take the simpler route and just call it "SSL 4".
