was FaceID a failure? It was engineered to the same allowances as touchID: a determined, relatively well resources adversary can bypass it.

It’s a spectrum. There are companies that absolutely care with every fiber of their being, and those that couldn’t care less. Now that “cyber” is a thing that can lead to a CEO losing their head, most companies are roughly in the middle som

It depends. If you’re expecting it to land you a job, no. If you’re trying to add to your arsenal of skills, maybe (arguably you could self teach a lot of it and save your money). If you’re trying to get past HR in some big company who use

OP: you’ll find you got a lot of very vague, broad, range of answers. I think it might help if you try to find a subset of security that you’re interested in or would like to tackle. It’s very hard these days to be a complete and effective

So I’m very far from experienced or a veteran in this field. Perhaps I didn’t word it properly - the github repo literally had no ML code at all. It was a todo. In general, it’s a great resource. The field moves so fast it’s nice to have a

I’d hazard a guess that a lot of the fundamentals haven’t really changed in an interesting way - it’s just becoming more widespread and popular, which isn’t interesting from a tech perspective. And I don’t disagree with throwing a small amo

This looks like an interesting resource, however the first link I clicked (regarding TF analysis of 1.4 billion records breached) links to a github repo with a couple of python files for parsing raw data and a big ol “todo” for the actual a

If that’s true, you’re making your case worse rather than better. Your earlier comment that you worked at GS and “sort of know what I’m talking about” with no actual constructive rebuttal to any arguments undermines your credibility.

As far as I’m aware, hash algos like SHA or Scrypt are not the type of math that quantum computing threatens.

Do you think there is a single organization out there which will never be breached? I personally don’t think it’s possible. Or are you more taking aim at it being a defeatist position? I do t fully understand. I’ve never seen a decent, well

I’m curious; what’s wrong with that? Do you disagree, have an example of a large org who has never been compromised?

Most users check the URL when they first browse to a page. You want them to continuously keep verifying it’s the correct domain/cert just because this company is too lazy/cheap to buy a cert?

I was looking up details of the new Microsoft Surface recently, so hit the top link in a google search which was (supposedly) on Microsoft.com It wouldn’t load because Facebook.com was blocked and apparently they were doing a full redirect

Just hearing the name of the film, that I last watched 10+ years ago in a completely different point of my life and mindstate makes me start to wonder how I got to this. Today is going to be a slow day.

That link does not pass the sniff test at all. Massively slanted an opinionated pieces that look like any5ing but proper science.

I haven’t studied FB much, but do they have a strategy for continued growth? They don’t seem to be expanding into new growth areas as much as Goog or Amazon?

I don’t see this working. Too many people on Facebook accept friend requests from unknown people already for it to work. I guess you could have some kind of “have you actually met this person in real life” test, but that’s an annoying frict

There was not. I appreciate your helpful attitude toward people on the fence about getting a license, but the parent to my comment was saying "I'm licensed, now what?" And I said ~"I'm in that exact same situation&q

This was/is really interesting work but should maybe be marked [April 2017] or something so waking sysadmins don't get a fright.

+1 got my ticket, bought a baofeng, unboxed it and put it in a draw. I'm not sure how to get involved? Loraham.org does seem a cool use to tinker with.

first, exploits and vulnerabilities are different if related things. If you're showing links to CVEs, I'm guessing you meant vulnerabilities not exploits. The number of reported vulnerabilities does not have a strong correlation a

This is a great solution to the ownership problem, but now each individual is responsible for patching and updating their 25 devices? Doesn't solve the security problem.
