Orginally Weapons of Mass Destruction was specifically defined under US and International law (by treaty) as NBC Weapons only (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical.) Gradually, the definition has become a bit wobbly, with some attempting to includ

No, legally, they are not. Any time you are in the presence of a law enforcement official and you are not free to leave, your person has been seized for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. From a Constitutional viewpoint, both arrest and &quo

This was an attack by a partial active adversary. Global = can view all network traffic. Partial = can view some portion of network traffic, but not all. Active = willing/able to modify data as it transits the network. Passive = unable

240 -> 195 in three months with portion control and no snacking. For me, I charted what I was eating and when for three weeks before starting. Then I broke down the calories in my diet by origin. Then I rebalanced slightly by adding more

Here's some ideas: Laundering Clothes: Please somebody find a way to do this affordably for laundry. There's Wash.io and local laundromats that deliver, but it can't possibly cost several hundred dollars to wash and fold a fe

Totally agreed. I misread your tone, which can be tough to perceive over the interwebs sometimes. My apologies :)

Why is that bad? Shouldn't the discoverers of pregabalin, who helped millions in excruciating incurable chronic pain, receive a portion of the profit from the sales of the drug to build facilities for future research? That seems like a

If you don't believe in the correlation of false accusations, perhaps a Bloom Filter could give us some help. Thinking through the details, but check this weekend for a github implementation. Reply or PM if interested in helping out.

I always wonder that too. Then I think reality is just too messy for the nice dualistic explanation. My current hypothesis is this. At one point in time, prior to the accepted exit date for the "Out of Africa" hypothesis, various

To date, no one to date has presented a reliable, scalable, consistent passive correlation algorithm.

We can agree it was a pretty large fuel-air explosion caused by the failure of SCADA software? The rest is just details.

They're trying a correlation attack on the network. Create enough entries and exits, then matching traffic by time, size, and shape.

Actually the Trans-Siberian pipeline made this acceptable, which was a cyber attack in peacetime responsible for the largest man-made non-nuclear explosion in history. Or the Turkish pipeline attack. Or the Enigma Machine hack. The crucial

Its a lower bound on the number of false allegations (out of allegations made to the police), so the number of people who never went to the police isn't relevant, mathematically speaking.

by s_q_b 12y ago
Yeah, I'm debating off the top of my head. I've seen it happen enough, I'm sure there's a good exemplar case involving adults, but bandwagoning of false allegations is a very real phenomenon.

Yes, many. See e.g. The McMartin Preschool Trial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMartin_preschool_trial >"By spring of 1984, it was claimed that 360 children had been abused." All of these linked allegat

It is a mistake to believe that moral panics regarding sexual assault never occur. That's precisely what the satanic (sexual) ritual abuse trials were. Because the Department of Justice says that a female is one third more likely to be

What we could be seeing could be a very small part of a much larger operation. We could have bricked or infected their entire infrastructure (quite literally), and then DDoS'd it off the internet to: 1. Give the world a visible sign of

DHS has stated that they do not believe these to be "credible threats."

North Korean and South Korean dialects are very different, but you are correct in that they are adept at sneaking agents into Japan. But they threatened "9/11 style" attacks on movie theaters, of which they are certainly not

I heard a Sony executive on NPR today say "If and when this movie is released... Let me stop, when this movie is released..." Sony Pictures clearly intends for the film to be seen, but they need a distribution partner.

This is well known by bars in many locations that pass out free lollipops and hard candies as closing time approaches. Anecdotally it causes violent altercations to plummet.

Title is misleading. It's an active attack, meaning it requires packet modification. Its been done to death, see stream watermarking, etc. Show me an effective passive attack with a powerful but non-global adversary and I'll be im

I was just thinking this. Its a good app idea. Something that scans your bank accounts, and then cancels (or alerts) you to any odd small recurring charges.

If we all wore universal body cameras, but the recordings were encrypted with a key only the wearer knew, could we fight back against public surveillance with private surveillance? Interesting idea. Personally, I think CCTV does more good t

You can't see emails in profiles, but I'd be happy to talk about what I can.

Yeah, assuming a global adversary, you'd just watch which servers went dark and the investigate them. We really need a "defensive mode" for TOR.
