  1. NMAP didn't get EPIC FAIL! on Pwnie Awards 2013 Winners: Barnaby Jack, Edward Snowden, Hakin9, Evad3rs · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Hacking9 Magazine" got Epic Fail award, for an article called: "Nmap: The Internet Considered Harmful - DARPA Inference Cheking Kludge Scanning"

    It was a spoof paper, written to expose the CRAP editorial policy at Hacking9.

    They were PWN3D by a whitepaper...

    http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/1050

    "They clearly chose that title so just so they could refer to it as DICKS throughout the paper. There is even an ASCII penis in the "sample output" section, but apparently none of this raised any flags from Hakin9's "review board"."

    Please, survey my posting history, for general use of the English language.

    I'm sure that my consistent application of literary style, demonstrated level of grammatical sophistication and rhetorical soundness are more than adequate grounds upon which I may beg a little forgiveness over an occasional error in homophone usage, or mistaken contraction.

    If not, you are cordially invited fuck yourself into pedantic rages.

    OK your right.

    Instead of TOR, have an auto-discovery mesh, of all plugin-enabled browsers - Bittorrent fashion.

    Then the requests are distributed to come from any random IP in the mesh.

    That distributed piece seems unnecessarily complex to meet the chaffing use case, but eliminates certain accountability for individual queries.

    Airbusses are nice. If you hit turbulence? They are "flexier" than Boeings. Unsettling, but smoother.

    The overhead bins are much taller, and better shaped. The ceilings seem less enclosed.

    Good planes.

    Your landlord exists in a competitive market, where there are other choices. Unlike broadband/fatpipe Internet access in the urban US. My market is served by 2 providers. One is accessible from my curb - next to a major university, I might add.

    Bullshit. You're a pissant.

    There's no reason I can't or shouldn't provide remote access to my files for my use, and those of people I chose, on a host of my choice, on my uplink.

    There's no reason I can't or shouldn't run my personal mail server - as long as I am able to prevent relaying or other abuse.

    This is the purpose and tradition of the best-effort, edge-service, peer-to-peer design of IP packet-switched, interconnected networks. PERIOD.

    Driving me to GMail's business model, or Dropbox's or anybody else's is abuse. Corporations don't acquire special rights through monetising service offerings. DIY for home/limited scale is the point - or you can go back to TV and Radio.

  19. Re:Don't be evil (some of the time) on Google Argues Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I always pointed out on slashdot, just HOW MUCH trust was being put in Google, with how little understanding of their operation as a publicly traded company.

    The fanbois for Google - which have a huge intersection with slashdot readership - nearly always mod-bomb these observations as flamebait or trolling. Contrariness is only rewarded when it chooses a popular target. ;-)

    Google's hand-waving of good will always gets trumped by their desire to control revenue. But like a stage magician, those who want to believe continue their suspension of reality.

    Google's real motivations afford them selling out customers for the value of their "private" information. You can now see, in this one, more obvious way, how principle is secondary to business and profit - through the artificial tiering of "business class" service. There is no "business class" IP.

    That is the pro-MS spin, on the publicly produced history - written up by Helen Custer as history and accolade. Like all lies and cover stories, it has verifiable elements of veracity.

    She was paid on MS dime, and published by MS press.

    Victors write the history, YMMV, etc.

    PRISM was the "VMS.next" Cutler was working on. Three aims separated it from earlier VMS, from which it was strongly derived/forked:
    - 64 Bit
    - Portability for RISC
    - Posix

    All of these are targets for which DEC released various "OpenVMS" versions, beginning in 1990.
