Did Anderson Cooper just call out reddit on r/jailbait?

How do you store passwords? No, seriously. How do you store your passwords?

Yea, all it does is lock a flash drive in. But look at a USB device - there's nothing consistent for it to hold onto, except by pressure. Like this. I bet you can just pull the thing out with force. If not, take/break the lock apart with hand tools.

Only if you had set up an Elastic Load Balancer and set it up to scale out machines automagically. Otherwise - you shouldn't listen to me, see synt4x.

I like it too, been on the working group mailing list for the past several months. But Moxie has some good points that shows that even this isn't the holy grail, and that in a sense it's just reducing the number of authorities you have to trust, not eliminating them/moving it all to the domain owner.

Wikileaks would sit on it forever and a half, debate what to do with it, try and time to some internal timeline, etc etc. They'd probably try and redact information that'd get people shot (which is a good thing) - but that takes time. Lulzsec doesn't seem to want to wait to release anything...

Blowfish is a Symmetric Algorithm. SHA is a Hash Algorithm (not for encryption). RSA & ElGamal are asymmetric algorithms. A keysize of 1024 implies an asymmetric algorithm, and since SHA doesn't make sense there I'd have to correct further to Blowfish-128 or Blowfish-192.

Unless you just trollin.

SHA-1024 encryption

wince

RSA-1024. Or ElGamal.

The double-encrypt argument applies more to asymmetric (based on groups/fields) crypto than symmetric. Where it does applies to symmetric, it's usually more related to double-encrypting using the same cipher. Yes, in theory there may be unknown attacks that could be performed by very sophisticated attackers to gain some information about double-encrypted content...

But that's nothing compared to the very real threat of man-in-middle on javascript that can be performed by everybody and their dog.

Nifty countof trick
Chrome code is pretty good
These guys are kind of jerks
If I buy their product and try using it on a large project - I'll find errors in their product.

Interesting article, poor advertising!

For those not up on the latest factoring status, this would take about 1695 Core-Years to factor, and that's using tools that are not open-source/publicly available.

People regard John C Dvorak as an expert? I liked Leo Laporte, but Dvorak was such an assholish idiot that it creating a some sort of envelope of hate around him so large I stopped liking Leo.

I personally spoke with ciwrl this morning, who relayed our conversation to the rest of TeamDouche, and talked with him about our concerns

I've seen a lot of things come out of left field on reddit, people citing some specific thing they think is wrong - this is the first time I've seen someone arguing against the 17th Amendment. And it's got 14 upvotes!

I just don't get it though. Yes, state assemblies having recourse with the federal government is a good thing. But I don't see how one more level of abstraction away from citizens' representation is a good thing. If Senators were appointed by the assembly, they'd only have to convince/fool/lobby a few hundred people instead of their constituents. It'd be much easier to have an old boys' club. I can't say I'm really buying this one...

so someday I can maybe make it to an upper level position

Upper level defined as "management/compliance" or upper level defined as the hacker whispered in huddled circles? If you want to be as impressive as jono - RECon. Summerc0n. Massive amounts of effort.

If you want to be a suit - maybe RSA? It's a vendor-mosh-pit, but that's what businessy people go. OWASP would be really good actually.

For meeting people and hanging out - SOURCE (Boston I went to, I assume the others too). They have a mentor program too. DEFCon for the ridiculousness. And of course - any local events. OWASP, citysec (New York/Boston/Chicago/etc), 2600 (although I've never gone to one), and any local cons.

Does CurveCP stop man-in-the-middle attacks? Yes. The client knows the server's long-term public key in advance, before making a CurveCP connection.

I couldn't find out 'how' the client knows this. Anyone know?

Source - or, if not the source, then more details.

Completely unprovoked I thought 'What was the name of that guy who always posted truck photos'? And I knew it was something like 'metsruleonplanetearth' so I went looking, and lo and behold, he posts mere hours ago, his first in nearly 10 months. Quite a coincidence. And I must say, I am glad he is back. But I don't understand what happened to all his old posts? Were they deleted? Is this a slightly different, but equally old account?

Agreed, with an additional note: the police department, mayor, and courts have always, and will always side with a police officer making reasonable decisions based on the input he has - even if the result is horrible. A police officer, in search of an armed rapist, having a description of him would be exonerated if circumstances led him to shoot an innocent man matching the description if the man took aggressive action (instead of following the order to put your hands up and get on the ground) [situation not described in detail]. And they should be so exonerated.

What we want in the ability to film officers is to show flagrant abuse of power and misconduct. Police shouldn't be worried about being tarred and feathered for making a wrong decision - everyone does. They should know that we will hold them accountable for conduct they already know is wrong, but do anyway for whatever reason (racism, anger issues, authority gone to their head, money, etc).
