In fact, Windows builds with -DGAPING_SECURITY_HOLE is pretty much the reason why Windows virus scanners detect nc.exe. (The #define enables the -e flag, which starts processes with stdio redirected over the network when the connection suc

Presumably the original server process uses exec() to start the new process, which inherits the open socket handles, and the descriptor is passed as an argument to the new process. (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions&#x

It would be far more effective to add a "log in with Facebook/Twitter/GitHub" button and oAuth than mess with SSH keys, surely?

While it's true that your remaining miners get more coins, kWh/coin is far higher and the power costs are most likely in normal currencies. In addition, the transaction times would become highly variable, reducing the utility (an

I thought that only protected against modification in transit though. Often, what you really want is to verify the content is what the original source intended it to be, rather than what the server sent. In that case, you want a mechanism

This does make me wonder what is so special or unusual about your various Debian installs. Outside of attempting a woody->sid dist-upgrade in the distant past, I have never had problems with "apt-get [dist-]upgrade" breaking

It's exactly the same as gen_server but with handle_call() and handle_cast() renamed, as far as I can tell.

I thought that too initially, but this appears to be a much faster method. For comparision, the "blackjack" attack uses 18 packets vs. 11000 for brute-force. I think we can say WPS is fairly unsafe at this point.

Apache Qpid has a C++ broker if that helps, plus it talks AMQP... ( http://qpid.apache.org/components/cpp-broker/index.html )

To be fair though, it's not that hard to test for DNSSEC breakage if you have dig available. If "dig +cdflag example.com A IN" works and "dig +adflag example.com A IN" returns SERVFAIL, it's DNSSEC's faul

It's worth noting though that this article used the MS/Sysinternals version of strings and not the binutils version in most Linux distros. The Sysinternals version is unlikely to be parsing ELF and the like. (One quick test: try

It's worth noting that the 100GigE standards only allow copper cabling up to 7m (or 30m at a push). Despite the advert's claims, 100m is fibre-only at this point.

Considering that PuTTY has GPG signatures, there is no need for downloading it over HTTPS. Of course, this does leave the issue of how to obtain and confirm the right GPG key for verifying the download.

That was around before DNT (just). Given that the popups were required in any case and are site-specific acceptance, why bother with DNT? It was more work to implement for zero benefit. Admittedly that also applies to the popups, but tho

It always was, officially. It's just that everyone else ignored that and called it "Silicon Roundabout" regardless.

It could be a simple one-line script that wraps the real command, setting memory limits and the like first. (I used a similar trick to prevent Skype using up all my memory in the past.)

I have a similar boiler/thermostat to the one in the article, and my thermostat also tends to cut out once a year or so. I tracked that down to the battery terminals corroding quite badly, and once the oxide layer is removed the therm

Based on the author's "About Me" page, I suspect the article has a slight London-centric bias on this point. Quadrupling in 20 years (~doubling in real terms?) seems unlikely even for London's atypical market though. El

You can enable it in Firefox 29 if you like (about:config, browser.tabs.remote=true, restart). I noticed though that navigating to live bookmarks crashed the browser, so ended up disabling it.

How many of these patches are actually new? I'm trying to work out if what we're seeing here is the CVS equivalent of "git checkout openbsd-ssl && git rebase upstream/v1.0.1g".

I imagine it's linked to Win32 and .Net using UCS-2 internally, since then there's no need to convert strings before and after API calls.

It's used in TLS 1.2, so I'd assume any distros using OpenSSL 1.0.1 (which added TLS 1.2 support) would have it enabled.

Both are proxies of a sort. They're effectively websites with a wildcard DNS entry and the subdomain is then used to determine the remote site. In nyud.net's case, this is located in their CDN before the real site is contacted.

I found that http://www.bbc.com.sixxs.org was far faster than using Coral cache, but that assumes that you have access to IPv6. You can't chain the IPv4 proxy to it by the look of things ( http://www.bbc.com.sixx

All of that's true except possibly the bonuses. It's probably still worth noting that £50k is worth about $76k at the moment, so most of the London responses so far would be lumped together in the bottom category on the previous poll.

This is slightly off-topic, but... There's plenty of references to physical Infiniband cards being allocated to a guest VM. What I haven't seen though is a hypervisor-level Infiniband vswitch. I wonder if that could help with some of the

I had problems with the Windows updater apparently downloading version 2.0.6 and then not installing it. I ended up downloading and installing it manually instead. Could that be related somehow?
