MSFT Reaches Out To Hackers: 'Do Epic $#!+'
hessian writes "Microsoft isn't exactly known for its underground hacker culture, but a recent effort to give its employees more slack is generating some wild experiments. Last summer, Microsoft completed a redesign of one of its original buildings on campus — Building 4, where Bill Gates' office used to be — into a laid-back workshop where staff can tinker with things. It's open to anyone, anytime, and it's got everything from a hardware workshop to an actual working garage door. If it doesn't sound to you like something Microsoft would normally do , the Garage's motto will really shock you: 'Do epic s--t.'"
Hey Microsoft, this watering down is why you're sucking as a tech company.
If Microsoft doesn't bleep out the 'shit', but Slashdot does (in two different ways?), does this mean MSFT is "hipper" than /. now?
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
"...as long as it doesn't threaten our bottom line."
And MS is still following Google in a way. Google didn't build on-campus but they signed up with Tech Shop a while back.

Epic $#!+ can't come out of sitting in "Building 4, where Bill Gates' office used to be ..." and pretending it's hacker's garage.
you need a real garage, with real hackers in it, don't think Microsoft's engineers will do the trick.
Really ? the word is censored both times in TFS and even the image itself is blurred in TFA.
Are we really so prude and puritan as a culture that we can't even bring ourselves to write "SHIT" ?
This goes beyond political correctness - it's frankly ridiculous.
Angelina "Acid Burn" Jolie and Matthew "Cereal Killer" Lillard will be stopping by.
I think its totally appropriate. It shows the PR campaign is completely watered down and most likely so is the actual project, assuming there is any project other than the PR campaign.
Now if it were real, instead of a PR stunt, then it would be inappropriate.

when a company tries to exploit a culture that isn't truly core to them. That 1337 5P34K motto sounds so incredibly phony it's pathetic.

Haven't heard of much else from Microsoft Garage than Mouse Without Borders. Does anyone have any other examples?
First, there needs to be a company culture in which people dare to take time to play in a facility like that.
Second, there needs to be an outside chance that the epic "s--t" will actually see the light of day and not be stomped on by Steve Ballmer because it doesn't run Windows.
Third, there needs to be infrastructure. One MS manager I know tried to order a bookshelf to store technical references for the group's use. The request was denied because the bookshelf wasn't a standard item. What happens when a hacker orders something random?
Fourth, for people who aren't pure hackers but have some self-interest, there needs to be some believable financial benefit to developing something cool
Without all that, this idea is sheer cargo cult.
Cool, daddyo.
I'll tell Dobie and Maynard at the hootenanny tonight!
...too late.
besides the movie the real acid was a guy. NICE of course that hollystupid needs a chick with big tits....female hackers tend to be all about piracy and images and websites flashy crap
I'd rather avoid epic shits anyway. Epic blurs sound interesting though.
Wow! How much more epic can one company get?
You can't handle the truth.
I know, what can turn Microsoft into a decent company, but it involves mass murder.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
gee wonder why the need to get hackers on board all a sudden eh? MAYBE all that screwing with humankind is starting to show the truth about the system your creating that it just plain sucks at creation. GOOD LUCK and THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH.....

Whoah! Microsoft! You baddasses really gone hack up the future!
I foresee an AWESOME sea change coming!
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,

"Microsoft isn't exactly known for its underground hacker culture,..."
..but it is well-known for being hacked. And considering their lateral (Lin/Mac) competition, they already have epic viruses and malware. But here's a suggestion anyway: Hack 8 into something between XP and $even. And stay away from the COFEE

This would be good for the entire planet. Or at least less annoying for alot of people than what microshit has planned.

It's not censored in the pictures of the slogan that neowin has or SCM Magazine.
It wasn't that hard to search for either. However it was probably harder than the knee jerk reaction shown above.
The problem is not that MSFT employees don't have good ideas; the problem is that management kills them (the ideas that is).
You should have seen the /. article on Microsoft's beach party. All of the guys' tits were blurred out.
And now I'm getting a filter error for this for junk characters unless I delete the "Re:" from the title. More censorship. Lame.
... Windows 8.
By the time I was done, the entire bathroom reeked of death and there were numerous shit streaks all along the wall and floor of my stall.
A lot of semi-automated online venues have filters that force out the real spellings of the bad words, either like the dashes, or maybe even denying the post in the first place.
You're right about one sense, you go "Here's call of Duty 4, shoot to kill as many people as you can. Over here, is the word shit that we can't bear to actually see spelled."
Holy crap a real garage door and it works!!1!...amazing tech...Microsoft is zooming into the future with that one!
There is a hacker space in liverpool called DoES/Do Epic Shit
Jesus christ, people. MS does something halfway cool, and all you can do is moan about it.
Yet MSFT reap the rewards and the MSFT employee gets a lump of plastic cube award to sit on their desk like their patent cubes worth a whole 20 cents.
Big deal, I worked there for a decade, now I got a real job that pays and anything I do in my spare time, goes to ME because I do it in MY spare time.
I liked the line in the original article:
one Microsoft Office developer is currently working in the Garage on a tool allowing people to make mobile payments with just their bodies.
I think this already goes on all over the world.

That's SO Microsoft. They invested corporate funds to create a space looks, feels, and sounds the way a real tinkerer's garage is supposed to.... what could be missing?
Break UEFI on ARM.
Ya, "me too" with the skunkworks.
We shall see if it produces anything, or if in 5 years we read about all kinds of ideas that Microsoft declared ownership over, then shelved, from bitching employees who left in disgust.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
TFS begins with "hessian writes" and then there's a block quote with nothing but sentences from TFA.
Haven't they done epic s--t since inception? Just change the name to Micros--t. Done and done ...
Patient Epic $#!+
Have to post anonymously for this one, as it's about my current workplace...
I work for an IT service provider that services a very staid, boring, stick-in-the-mud industry. The company has been around since the 50s, is multinational, and has a very management-heavy, bureaucracy-laden culture. Our engineering teams (including the one I'm on) are pretty much allowed to operate around this whole mess because we build their products and services. And the industry we serve is concerned with reliable, always-on service ONLY, nothing else. As Engineering, we give that to them with a minimum of fuss, often completely end-running the layers of bureaucracy to make sure things stay alive.
All of a sudden last year, the company brought in the usual suspects from the management consultant universe, who suggested a radical culture shift. One of the other division offices (not ours)got gutted and turned into a clone of the Google office pictures that have leaked to the web. All the fun happy stuff from the Hipster Twentysomething Web 2.0 Culture Checklist is there -- no offices, hot desking, open floor plan, beanbag chairs, large common areas, and a cutesy color scheme and design pattern reflecting our company's core customers' business.
The problem is that nothing else has changed. People are still stuck in the same mindset, but now they're sitting in beanbag chairs doing it or trying to be heard over the noise of their colleagues in one of these open-area offices. I'm actually one of those people who prefers a private office or cube with enough quiet to be able to work, so I'm glad our office didn't get transformed (yet.)
So, Microsoft can change anything they want, but it won't bring back the hacker culture and 90s startup feel unless they start actively cultivating that mindset. As far as I can tell, it's too late for that -- there's way too much at stake to make radical changes. I'm betting that SP1 of Windows 8 will let businesses remove the Metro (or whatever it is now) interface, just to keep the status quo going.
I think that once a company gets established, there's no easy way to bring it back to startup mode. I'm not even sure that's the right thing to do. For example. I'm older now (late 30s) and lack the desire to work 90-hour weeks for a company, just because I have a life -- married with children and all that. Almost everyone else my age who is still in the startup, 90-hour, gotta-do-this-for-the-team crowd is divorced, headed that way or permanently single, and has nothing going on outside of work. I work hard, but something really has to be on fire that no one else can fix if any employer expects tons of extra work. I work hard already keeping my skills sharp outside of work so I don't end up unemployed... The problem is companies don't understand that people who aren't just out of school have a lot of good experience, so I don't know if the relentless focus on startup culture is a good solution.
Microsofts problem is not that they cant come up with new stuff. Their biggest problem seems to be surfacing the second the upper management gets their hands on something and it gets killed in corporate politics and infighting. Microsoft has probably had ten, nay twenty people who has come up with something very close to both Android and iPhone, and Windows Phone was probably not that bad to start with. But, as soon as management got their hands on it it turned to crap.
Just as Microsoft Research, this unit is all about PR and will not get the chance to make anything. Any product they manage to come up with will die the death of a thousand PHB.

Sounds like a good investment.
A giant mech warrior that throws chairs and can rip cars in half would be epic. A stress indicator butterfly? Not so much.
OTOH it might help protect the microsofties from Ballmer if they could get him to wear one.
Yeah. This will fail as long as the postfix is always "...as long as it doesn't threaten Windows or Office, natch." They *had* something epic with the Courier...and they killed it. I don't see this state of affairs changing anytime soon.
Epic. Shit. Sounds like Vista all over again.
The primary purpose of this is to generate patentable ideas. Provided the patents were only issued for truly novel inventions this would be a good thing and something to applaud. Unfortunately for every truly novel patent, there seem to be thousands of "one click" type shit. Sadly, based on MS' recent history, these patents will not be used to generate innovative products but to harass their competitors into the license agreement morass. yay.
Because in this instance, it is not about being prude or politically correct. It is because as other people have pointed out, it's more "hip and "kickin" to use a curseword and censor it, particularly masking it with fake "L33T" characters.
If anybody involved in writing the article or submitting it to slashdot actually cared about "keeping those evil, satanic cursewords from the eyes of the children" they would have simply written it to not include them in the first place.
Also, retarded lameness filter is retarded. Here's sme more random crap to make this post go through...
It's censored so the Christian folks don't get offended.
Not a troll statement, it's the truth. Let's simply admit it and get it out in the open. Then move on.
...that we can then patent and harass our competitor's with.
This is the latest/greatest "example thereof" I released to the general public:
For those of you that run Microsoft Windows 32 or 64 bit? An automated hosts file creation & mgt. program:
---
APK Hosts File Engine 5.0++ 32/64-bit:
Screenshot -> http://start64.com/images/win64/security/apk-hosts-file-engine-1.png
Download Site #1 -> http://start64.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5851:apk-hosts-file-engine-64bit-version&catid=26:64bit-security-software&Itemid=74
or
Download Site #2 -> http://securemecca.com/public/APKHostsFileInstaller/2012_06_01/APKHostsFileEngineInstaller32_64bit.exe.zip
(You simply extract its sfx installer file, then run the installer, from inside ANY folder you like - extracting the executables + datafiles to any folder you wish (usually one you create for it, doesn't matter where, but you MUST run it as administrator (simple & the "read me" tab shows how easy THAT is to do)), & lastly run either the 32-bit OR 64-bit version!
---
What's it do for you?
It's a custom hosts file mgt. program that does the following for end users (Calling it "APK Hosts File Engine 5.0++") after it obtains custom hosts file data from 12 of the reputable & reliable sources listed below:
---
1.) Offers massively noticeable increased speed for websurfing via blocking adbanners
2.) Offers increased speed for users fav. sites by hardcoding them into the hosts file for faster IP address-to-host/domain name resolutions (which sites RARELY change their hosting providers, e.g.-> of 250 I do, only 6 have changed since 2006 - & when sites do because they found a less costly hosting provider? Then, they either email notify members, put up warnings on their pages, & do IP warnings & redirectors onto the former IP address range to protect vs. the unscrupulous criminal bidding on that range to buy it to steal from users of say, online banking or shopping sites).
3.) Better "Layered-Security"/"Defense-In-Depth" via blocking host-domain based attacks by KNOWN bad sites-servers that are known to do so (which IS, by far, the majority of what's used by both users (hence the existence of the faulty but for most part working DNS system), AND even by malware makers (since host-domain names are recyclable by they, & the RBN (Russian Business Network & others)) were doing it like mad with "less than scrupulous", or uncaring, hosting providers)
4.) Better 'anonymity' to an extent vs. DNS request logs (not vs. DPI ("deep packet inspection"))
5.) The ability to circumvent unjust DNSBL (DNS Block Lists) if unjust or inconveniences a user.
6.) Protection vs. online trackers
7.) Better security vs. the DNS system being "dns poisoned/redirected" (a known problem for recursive DNS servers via port 51/53 misdirection)
8.) Write protecting the hosts file every 1/2 second (supplementing UAC) - even if/when you move it from the default location via this registry entry (which if done, can function ALMOST like *NIX shadow passwords because of this program):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters
And changing the "DataBasePath" parameter there (I do this moving it to a faster media, a "true SSD" using DDR-2 RAM, in the 4gb Gigabyte IRAM I have).
9.) Automatic downloading & Alphabetic sorting of hosts files' records entries (for easier end user mgt. manually) from 15 reliable sources (of 17 I actually use).
10.) Manual editing of all files used (hosts to import list, hosts itself in its def

I have no idea why there is (or was) a fascination for leetspeak. When my dad brought home our family's first pocket calculator in 1974 we entered numbers to make words when viewed upside down. Shell Oil and Hello were about it. This amounted to two minutes of novelty value looking at the little red LED display.
Now get off my lawn!
A lot of semi-automated online venues have filters that force out the real spellings of the bad words, either like the dashes, or maybe even denying the post in the first place.
It's tragic that so few such filters replace the word with an acceptable synonyms -- because "buttbuttinate" is just too funny.

"Do Epic Salt" could be religious in nature, if only they had the light to go with it.
"Do Epic Scat" could be, well, crappy.
"Do Epic Scot" could be a hint that Sean Connery will play Ballmer in an upcoming movie about Steve Jobs
"Do Epic Seat" could be a hint that they're working on a special chair to offset the major pain in the ass NotMetro is expected to be
"Do Epic Sect" could be a skunkworks project to recruit fanboys
"Do Epic Shat" could be a retrospective on the history of Windows... uh, narrated by William Shatner
"Do Epic Skit" could be a code for the rehearsal to train people to look excited at their store openings, and hide the fact that hired DJs are using iTunes
"Do Epic Slit" could be... nahhh...
"Do Epic Slut" or "Do Epic Smut" could be an indication that MSFT wants to enter the lucrative smut scene and cut off Heffner's air supply
"Do Epic Snot" or "Do Epic Spit" No. Just no.
Personally, I think what they're really saying is they plan to "do shit" to the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
The word is shit. If you find it acceptable to use any synonyms of a word, then all synonyms are equal. It is completely childish to apply some arbitrary morality scale for words that mean the same thing. Shit == poop == crap == feces. If that wasn't bad enough, there are fucktards that use deformed obscenities. You know like 'frak' and 'mothertrucker'. Grow the fuck up. You end up looking like an asshole, because we all know what you meant, but you were too much of a pussy to use proper language. We're still not there, yet. The lowest of the fucking low, are the ones that use punctuation in place of letters, when, again, we all know what you are saying. It doesn't get you off the hook for swearing or make it more polite. It makes you look like a big fucking cunt.

Right how fucking creative is that?? For real, it's hooking up biometrics to a payment backend probably whatever
Microsoft has. Even if it's paying someone by fondling their tits over a micro-ampere current it's not creative,
IBM already did that to exchange business cards. Maybe not the tit fondling part but the next best thing with a
handshake.
Who with a great idea in their head is dumb enough to use that Microsoft "do shit" "garage" in the first place?
If I have a great idea the last thing I would do is share it with my employer. If it's truly that great the way to go
would be to implement a prototype and find capital. startup a startup and then if Microsoft is interested let them
buy it for lots of $$$. Otherwise all you get is a pat on the head and a certificate to hang in your cubicle, maybe
even a $5000-$10000 reward but certainly not what you could be having.
Nothing worthwhile what we would want will ever come out of Microsoft nor Apple because they're not there to give us
what we want but what we are supposed to get. Right now the plan is to take general purpose computing out
of our hands (secure boot), exert total control over what we can do and keep us under total surveillance by
giving us shitty tablets that keep the data in the cloud aka "Windows Live" or "iCloud" from apple.
Fuck that.

Nobody Seems To Notice and Nobody Seems To Care - Government & Stealth Malware
In Response To Slashdot Article: Former Pentagon Analyst: China Has Backdoors To 80% of Telecoms 87
How many rootkits does the US[2] use officially or unofficially?
How much of the free but proprietary software in the US spies on you?
Which software would that be?
Visit any of the top freeware sites in the US, count the number of thousands or millions of downloads of free but proprietary software, much of it works, again on a proprietary Operating System, with files stored or in transit.
How many free but proprietary programs have you downloaded and scanned entire hard drives, flash drives, and other media? Do you realize you are giving these types of proprietary programs complete access to all of your computer's files on the basis of faith alone?
If you are an atheist, the comparison is that you believe in code you cannot see to detect and contain malware on the basis of faith! So you do believe in something invisible to you, don't you?
I'm now going to touch on a subject most anti-malware, commercial or free, developers will DELETE on most of their forums or mailing lists:
APT malware infecting and remaining in BIOS, on PCI and AGP devices, in firmware, your router (many routers are forced to place backdoors in their firmware for their government) your NIC, and many other devices.
Where are the commercial or free anti-malware organizations and individual's products which hash and compare in the cloud and scan for malware for these vectors? If you post on mailing lists or forums of most anti-malware organizations about this threat, one of the following actions will apply: your post will be deleted and/or moved to a hard to find or 'deleted/junk posts' forum section, someone or a team of individuals will mock you in various forms 'tin foil hat', 'conspiracy nut', and my favorite, 'where is the proof of these infections?' One only needs to search Google for these threats and they will open your malware world view to a much larger arena of malware on devices not scanned/supported by the scanners from these freeware sites. This point assumed you're using the proprietary Microsoft Windows OS. Now, let's move on to Linux.
The rootkit scanners for Linux are few and poor. If you're lucky, you'll know how to use chkrootkit (but you can use strings and other tools for analysis) and show the strings of binaries on your installation, but the results are dependent on your capability of deciphering the output and performing further analysis with various tools or in an environment such as Remnux Linux. None of these free scanners scan the earlier mentioned areas of your PC, either! Nor do they detect many of the hundreds of trojans and rootkits easily available on popular websites and the dark/deep web.
Compromised defenders of Linux will look down their nose at you (unless they are into reverse engineering malware/bad binaries, Google for this and Linux and begin a valuable education!) and respond with a similar tone, if they don't call you a noob or point to verifying/downloading packages in a signed repo/original/secure source or checking hashes, they will jump to conspiracy type labels, ignore you, lock and/or shuffle the thread, or otherwise lead you astray from learning how to examine bad binaries. The world of Linux is funny in this way, and I've been a part of it for many years. The majority of Linux users, like the Windows users, will go out of their way to lead you and say anything other than pointing you to information readily available on detailed binary file analysis.
Don't let them get you down, the information is plenty and out there, some from some well known publishers of Linux/Unix books. Search, learn, and share the information on detecting and picking through bad binaries. But this still will not touch the void of the APT malware described above which will survive any wipe of r/w media. I'm convinced, on both *nix and Windows, these pieces of APT malware
They want people to stop making it so obvious that Windows is an insecure, buggy POS OS, so that they can continue to pump out version after version of their flagshit OS (Windows) so that they can sell some copies of Windows 8, touting it as better than 7 even though they will never make a secure operating system because they know the version of Windows that they sell that actually works, out of the box, isn't an annoying pain in the ass to use, configure or maintain, and is actually secure from being broken into by hackers with almost a trivial level of ease, WILL BE THEIR LAST.
M$ has made its fortunes off forcing things down people's throats, and has no impetus to stop now. They are too large a company to be supported by the small number of new purchases of Windows that would be made if people didn't keep getting forced to buy the same thing over and over again.
If the DOJ had really wanted to unfuck what Microsoft FUCKED UP, back in the day, they would have required them to continue to support and upgrade (FOR FREE!!!) the software of anyone who could show he purchased a legitimate copy of Windows as long as they kept making Windows, and instituted mandatory price controls to keep them from charging 10,000 dollars a copy. I'd have laughed my ass off, watching Microsoft shrivel up and die like it should have. Of course, in the "Stalin versus Hitler, Who is history's biggest dickheaded asshole?"-esque "Which company, Microsoft or Apple is the most assholeish corporation?" contest, I've always thought that it was Microsoft, hands down. But Apple seems poised to take their crown as it becomes the more valuable company financially, and as Microsoft enjoys (well, actually it's me enjoying it, not them) a slow and inexorable slide into irrelevance, and ultimately bankruptcy. I will throw a fucking party that day...
I wonder, as Microsoft files for bankruptcy in about 3 to 6 years, if they'll open source DOS and Windows, Office, etc., just to get back at those who defeated them the way Netscape did when Microsoft leveraged their hegemony in software to crush Netscape Navigator with Microsoft Internet Exploiter... once Microsoft is destroyed, they'll have no more reason to need to pretend (as they had for a while) that the continued existence of Apple proves they don't have a monopoly, and all the motivation in the world to see them torn down right along with them.
What forbidden words? Freedom of speech? What is it with the USA that they actually tolerate this "forbidden words" thing?
I was promised a flying car. Where is my flying car?

As usual, MS is five years behind the curve-- 'epic' went out of style around 2007 (around here, anyhow). Rad idea, though!
