I ponder about when the generators are active and when they aren't. Where are the batteries, and when do they charge/discharge? So many variables, such pointless research ;)
Watched a talk from defcon on youtube the other day - basically it detailed how you could use javascript + old versions of browsers to connect to IRC, do dcc requests (so theres your file transfer and C&C); connect outwards to _any_ ports. Yes any.
That means DDoS, mail spam, proxying.... all via visiting a website and a little bit of java script all without requiring html 5.
Not sure how well the current browsers hold up to these attacks.... maybe I'll find out*
Sky (when I lived in my student house, I'd never use them otherwise) told me BEFORE we agreed what the speed was to be (6Mb for a 16Mb connection :/ ).
They also told me at the same time with all the legal stuff that this COULD change, and if so I have the right to cancel etc etc.... but the fact remains they told me BEFORE I agreed to it.
Knowing how /b/tards / anon LIKE to get people vanned (This is the art of getting random people / people who've annoyed them) arrested for various crimes, doesn't all of this seem a bit too easy?
I dunno, maybe he IS that dumb, or maybe hes just another fall guy.
They were arrested for spamming with calls. This happened, its quite simple but they hacked a server in a remote place beinging with M - I wonder if they'll get extradited there instead? ;)
Network-solutions site sucks, I should know, I've been trying to migrate a number of domains away from them for awhile.
And adding every domain to your calendar? Really? We have over 3000 domains all expiring on random dates. That'd be wonderful on the calendar ;)
However I do have a spread sheet, which highlights which domains will be expiring - and if they are to expire (by default everything is set to renew anyway). Oh, and I DO get the emails from our registrars.
is a simple way to check if I've hit the "limit" and am being throttled.
Nothing is more annoying than thinking (as I did before after some large downloads) that I'd been trottled only to go onto the forums, chat with an admin and find it was some equipment in the box on the street that was actually causing my issues!
If I could see how much I'd used, how much I use on average, etc, I'd be far more inclined to try and use it "fairly"
Or it was just a very long url which somehow got randomly uncovered (someone shared / typo'd?)
for example:
google.com/linux/users/x3+_34312123/kerpow
No one is going to deliberately type that in, and if nothing linked to it, no one would ever "guess" it either. They likely also look at the referer, and will only display if you came from a specific page previously. (Or none at all maybe?).
Eitherway, good job IWF, nice to see that someone seems to be able to keep up with the changes in technology.
"Speaking as one who grew up in a working class poor environment, I can affirm the fact that many working class are non-smoking, moderate drinking, decent, honest and reliable people - far more so on average than middle class people I encountered as I caught up with it."
Yup, the 40+ year old woman my wife nearly ran down due to her walking out in front of the car at a busy junction is definately within that age range.
Lets be honest - teenagers have grown up with this tech and if they've survived to 14-18 age range, they going to be aware of how to "look for cars" while crossing the road. Its the older generation who can't cope with doing the 10 things at once (Hense this report! :D )
You belief that its the best is the exact same belief that the designers at microsoft have. They too believe they know best. Don't hate them for doing what comes naturally.
Is this anything like the software on the stock exchanges...
Which was meant to spot rogue traders.... except some of them (because they helped program it) knew that if you traded in the pattern it expected, you could fool it and carry on?
Now.... all a good virus needs to do is monitor a user, and replicate them..... most users exchange data regularly so the virus could spread and nothing would be "abnormal"....
While I love bashing companies, I'm quite fond of VM. They've done well by me (but I run my own mailservers so this latest thing hasn't been an issue for myself).
I find it amusing that someone can say a company is so evil and must be defeated at all costs, yet please don't stop my internet as I need it so badly in the same sentence.
Or maybe the data protection laws need updating to understand that data cannot be physically "placed" anywhere within simple means
If your using Google Apps to handle your mail '(which is what it seems Virgin and Sky are doing) - I have done this myself - then any mail on its way to you, will at least have to query the google servers, which while they can be anywhere in the world, you might as well consider them to be in america.
The storage is still, afaik your average boring 0 and 1's on a disk somewhere.... and so they can still be snooped. Of course you can encrypt them on the disk also, but there will be bugs, as always. Just hope your not the company who ends up being exposed?
"RHEL 6 was updated to exploit latest multi-core chips, and support 4,096 cores per system image and addressable memory of 1TB – up to 64 cores and 64TB on RHEL 5. RHEL 6 also switched virtualisation technologies from Xen to KVM."
MS Came out of NO WHERE and blew them, and the world (gaming world) away. Of course there has been various issues form the very start, but they did exactly what you've described. They've got enough money to be able to do so, and they'll do it again easily too.
Well thats clever, concidering when i had a weird security breach (I may still have but turning off the chat "stops" it.) I found it impossible to actually "contact" anyone at facebook.
Their oh so helpful wiki/forum type thing to report problems ended with me being told to reset my password. Which I'd already done. Multiple times....
Maybe they mean they are just listening to the users email and messages, without the users knowing?
I thought this too.... until about a month ago when the wifes laptop decided to randomly power off during updates, and upon rebooting it wasn't booting windows no matter what I tried.
Tried all the microsoft usual fixes and couldn't get anything running. Eventually remembered the restore partition was still enabled and activated that.
Of course, the sensible users had up to date backups.
I have weekly backups done via clonezilla - time to restore with ALL apps, working bookmarks, other funky stuff (this is wifes laptop, i personally use linux) - about 10 min. Fun :)
Well you say you have to use Windows eventually.... but really, no you don't. You just don't want to spend the time to learn Linux / OSX to the level you require. Specially if whatever your doing requires windows XP and not 7.... and once April 2014 arrives and the XP updates finally stop, your STILL going to end up doing that whole upgrade shebang you hate.
I meanwhile, am curled up in a ball keeping warm off the heat of my gentoo box warming my room :)
Well I doubt it was SENT to ABC ready cut.... and as far as I'm aware, back then if you wanted to edit it, you'd likely be directly editing the film. I presume they copied it some how, and cut up a copy. Keeping the original safe...
which then got sold to this guy... who brought it home. How romantic ;)
Well, afaik it is a part of their push to build a cyber security "squad" of sorts...
And as I keep hearing every good sysadmin can program.... surely the kind of sysadmin working for GHCQ can program while upside down, being spun at 400rpm, while forced to code in basic on WinME....
List of links on my google page, to other pages.... lets see... oh the first one is gmail you asked for that.... calendar, very nice... oh look documents, you asked for that too.... wow those guys in that place must be psychic....
Or its been there all along but people appear to be blind.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we recently find some lifeform which lacks carbon, I think it has arsenic or something instead.
I still can't comprehend why we think so strongly that aliens should be anything _like_ us. Why should they need carbon, if they come from a planet which isn't rich in carbon, it'd make sense that life evolved to NOT depend on it.
So, you have people who are clever enough to make it look like they are attacking from location $foo.....
And you want to ban them from location $bar....
Plus, no good hacker cares about facebook or twitter access.... plenty of other ways to get the real infomation you need..... now, a full INTERNET ban, might be far more fitting (including no smartphone).

Re: Stand up for your rights
Move from one of the five targeted ISPs. Loss of business is a good incentive to make them support your cause
How many of the ISP's in the uk aren't just resellers of the top 5?
Yeah, I thought as much.
Re: Thermodynamics
Except it all got warmer.
You just explained its got cooler.

You already can do this with html 4....

Re: Lies, dammed lies, and statistics
10% of (one day) = 2.4 hours
That does.
Service down time : 2.4 hours = 10% of users on average effected ;)
Not told after you signed the contract..

Re: Interesting.

You missed the bit about hacking into the server in mayalisa, but of course that would make your point rather pointless eh?
Of course my speeling is wrong, I went to the same place that can say "p0ison" without sounding too strange.
Re: Calendars
Hmmmmm
Network-solutions site sucks, I should know, I've been trying to migrate a number of domains away from them for awhile.

Because that works.

Re: If the infected client machines are "known" or "discoverable"...

Re: Does this tool...
Sorry but which google service charges users?
Last time I checked they do the normal charge the companies and everything was pretty much free.
Troll much? Do try harder.

Re: K.I.S.S.
Which non-rare renewable earth metals are you using in your solar panels so I too can have some?
443 people.... strange number...
Concidering its the port for SSL connections.....
I smell a rat ;)
I stopped reading after the first point
Because first its "don't improve the backup process because no one notices" soon becomes "Don't have a backup process because no one notices".
We all know what lies that route. The problem _is_ management. They are lead to believe by some reasoning that IT don't produce value for a company.
This is only partially true, the same way traffic lights don't produce money for the goverment.
Without them, there would be chaos and with chaos there is a loss of income from formally reliable sources.
Re: don't have a telly then

And don't buy from evil?

Hmmmm do you perhaps define doing nothing as 2 or 3 firmware upgrades, plus a revision that allows users to put it into bridge mode as requested?
Yes, virgin seemed to screw up the superhub too - but they have at least been attempting to put it right and afaik haven't lied about it either.
And I bet they wish the people in these areas would stop complaining when its so expensive.
You live in the sticks, its a fact its going to be expensive. Get over it.
Oh god...
For a moment I was like "finally".... then I entered my nickname "djsmiley2k"
"The nickname that you've chosen appears to violate the Google+ Names Policy."
Erm, ITS A NICKNAME FFS.
Its more like walking through Somlia
Red light districts are strongly regulated in various ways.... somlia on the other hand...
Until you store it....
Its only quantum while its being COMPUTED....
The storage is still, afaik your average boring 0 and 1's on a disk somewhere.... and so they can still be snooped. Of course you can encrypt them on the disk also, but there will be bugs, as always. Just hope your not the company who ends up being exposed?

Closely listen to emails and messages...

Not seen anything like that here....

I think you misunderstood.
Virus infects system.
User "reinstalls"
Virus is preinstalled on OS image.
User is screwed.
While everyone else restored their backups...
Of course, the sensible users had up to date backups.

Carbon, Crucial for life?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we recently find some lifeform which lacks carbon, I think it has arsenic or something instead.
