If you prevent that "this data is from tethering" bit from being set and do nothing else, T-Mobile will block your traffic. They've been slowly ramping up detection of tether hiding for a while now. They at least do UA detect

That's actually the point I was trying to make - this is either a blatant FUD piece or written by someone totally clueless.

Interesting that the article doesn't mention whether they made any attempt to crack the PIN/password. Android uses the screen lock PIN/password for encryption (unless you root the device and change it), so I would expect it t

FWIW, I would really like to be able to do scripted management of my finances. Stuff like automatically paying my credit cards as much as possible while maintaining some minimum balance in my checking account (moving money from savings if n

NetBank was able to pull in information from my credit cards long long ago when it existed. I remember using this feature at least 10 years ago. I can't remember if it was transactions or balance only though.

It's not always that easy. People are not totally rational. Loss aversion is powerful. I've been in that situation. I'm actively avoiding putting myself in it again.

Because you'd like to do something new and if you leave you must either exercise within 90 days or lose your options.

I worked at a company for about five years. It became a unicorn while I worked there and I saw the value of my initial grant increase tremendously (something like 35x) over the years. I was significantly in debt and very nearly out of savin

Or more generally allocate the 6 point slots in advance - how they're allocated doesn't really matter. The point is that everyone knows that if they are supposed to choose 2 points and instead choose 6, nobody gets anything. Someo

In at least 99.9% of cases, the an RSA private key used by a service will be stored unencrypted. Would having a default that's the opposite of what nearly all users want be sensible?

Many of the CDNs will let you reference a specific version of the script. If you didn't do this, and there were an update, the script wouldn't load and you'd have to update your site. My script allows callbacks to be specifie

The integrity value is part of the script tag. You add a hash of the script content as a property of the script tag, and the browser only executes if it matches. I hacked together something that implements this sort of behavior in a script

When people say "email in profile", they're talking about listing it in the "about" section. The email field is private.

That could plausibly be a tool for generating test data for forensics tools. The hardcoded paths don't make a lot of sense for actually trying to plant evidence.

Those "shitty SDL ports" are open source games written 10 to 20 years ago by one guy, for fun. Trash talking them is somewhat uncalled for.

Generally, "something you are" is some sort of biometric. Fingerprint, iris, hand geometry, palm veins, face and voice are all possible. Some laptops have fingerprint readers, face/voice recognition would probably work fine t

That's still two factor authentication. The possible factors are "something you know", "something you have" and "something you are". Two "things you have" only count as a single factor between th

Something like half of the recruiter emails I've been getting lately have been to the email address I have posted on github. One of them actually appeared to have scraped my commit history which was mildly creepy.

I don't think it matters whether you use SHA1 or SHA256 on your CSR - a CA can issue you a SHA256 certificate regardless. Better to use SHA256 on the CSR, of course, but not worth worrying about.
