There are lots of places to learn about 2 and 3, not sure about 1 because I'm not a dev, but something I find almost nothing about anywhere is the process of reverse engineering custom binary network protocols used by backdoors or how

Less work doesn't necessarily mean less willpower. Maybe you don't get very hungry, but some people do and for them that's what makes it take more willpower to fast than not fast. Another thing to consider is that many people

Things may have changed in the last year or so, but plenty of System 76 Clevos have been notorious for problems in the past. I'd be interested in knowing that things have improved significantly because I'll probably be upgrading t

They sell re-branded clevos with marginal build quality. Some models have been unusably defecitve. I wish they were the Linux-laptop company that many hackers dream about, but they just aren't.

I used to draw quite a bit and I'm thinking of trying to get into game development as a hobby. Most mobile games have generic or mediocre art, but your friend did a really good job here. You did a pretty great job too. Its a simple con

This is one of my daughter's favorite iPad games. She's been playing it for years and occasionally I play it with her. Did you do the artwork yourself?

The funny thing is that the grey quotes in the article look very close to Cursive Italic, which is faster than American Cursive(what we all know as regular cursive) and Manuscript + it is just as easy to read as Manuscript(print). If we act

Unless that Col. gets kicked out of the military and disbarred for being an unethical POS that's willing to railroad people into the death penalty without a fair trial, I don't think its fair to say the system corrected itself.

A lot of people love this book, but I kept getting stuck because it seems like half the time it assumes prior programming knowledge. I only made it a few chapters in, but I don't think they do a great job of explaining much of anything

His comment was excellent, but I kind of disagree with his comment on The Art of Memory Forensics. Its basically a book about learning to use volatility to perform memory forensics. If you want to do that, its one of the best ways to learn.

Do you think it would be possible for an Information Systems major that isn't phenomenal at math to succeed in this program? I took a couple of incredibly basic programming classes, a decent class on web development, and discrete math.
