You can host your own git repository and access it over ssh. Make a new account on a server, generate keys on your clients and add it to that authorized_keys file. Make sure it can access the.git directory. This seems to be what github does, but in a more automated way. You wont get the cool webpages to browse source, but honestly it is a security hole.
You need far fewer sock puppets if you place them at the right centrality positions in the network. It makes COINTELPRO so much less expensive than actual agents.
It's bad you would need metadata from enough people and a supercomputer in Utah capable of crunching huge matrices to figure out where those places are.
This. Working for your business is not worth getting thrown in jail for, and its open season on hackers.
Some ideas of what you can do:
Cleanse anything that goes into a database. Get a model layer that does this for you.
You probably don't use UNION or similar keywords but they are used by hackers extensively. We built our own code to search for these keywords and tarpit them.
If they are all coming from some small IP block in China, block it. Minimal loss in business.
If they are running automated vulnerability scanners, you could add pages to blacklist their hosts as soon as they try to hit default administration pages for wordpress on your site.
If its just password guessers, block them. Use ssh keys.
Nmap the hosts that are targeting you. Most likely they are someone's compromised windows xp machine.
If all else fails, go on 4chan and post "OMG i just made the most secure site evar! Address is ${offender's IP} I bet no one can hack my site and take my bitcoins. "
There was nothing illegal about what the Nazis were doing in WW2. Yet we still hanged many in Nuremburg who said they were merely following orders and would be shot it they disobeyed.
We said that they should not have followed immoral order, even if it was legal. Have we changed our minds on this, now that it is us keeping the lists?
When Xbox One is on and you're simply having a conversation in your living room, your conversation is not being recorded or uploaded.
Until Microsoft gets the same treatment executive order that Verizon got... Remember that the console has to send a transcript of what it has heard back home every 24 hours or it stops playing games (but continues to record?)
Don't use IE6. Don't use IE7. Don't Use IE8. Its 2013. Use Chrome, Firefox, or IE 10+
Install chrome, chrome://plugins/ , block automatic execution of java and flash. Make it so you need to click. Install an adblocker to reduce driveby downloads. Install noscript + ghostery if you are wearing aluminum foil on your head.
Auto install security updates. If something disables it most likely you have a virus. Keep everything up to date.
Don't install toolbars or weather apps from unknown sources.
Can they then sell these public records to a middle man who can extract the relative information and sell it to insurance companies? Because I may have a business proposition for some biology undergrads.
Back when I was a kid a smartgun was an awesome weapon with some auto-tracking, since when did we give up on being awesome? Auto-tracking is totally possible now. And soon will be required: "that would require all U.S. handgun manufacturers to include smart gun technology in their weapons."
From TFA:
There’s no authentication performed, so an enterprising individual could hijack these bots fairly easily by joining the IRC server and issuing the appropriate commands.
So, basically we could take control of theses servers and force them to update to the newest version of rails?
For what I do, a $500 12-14 inch laptop with Ubuntu and a unlocked phone with tethering when you can't find wifi.
Full disk encrypt the harddrive, and back up your project with git. It most likely will get stolen or break some time while traveling, so make sure you have enough money to buy another. A usb stick with the OS should nice to carry in your backpack for these emergency occasions. Not sure if any of these will cause odd looks from security personnel.
Also make sure you have enough money to fly back to the US if you find the situation doesn't work. Do you have family or friends staying abroad that you could crash at for a week? That can be useful if things get hard.
The hostels I have stayed at were all pretty nice, but they weren't the cheapest options in town. It's going to be hard not to let your laptop leave your view for 3 years. Traveling with someone else would make this easier.
But should we punish someone with jail time who can repeatedly prove that they didn't do it? If the trials were all within a few days, it would be a small price to pay, but its more likely that that suspect would remain in jail for months or years to prove himself innocent in each case.
As long as they run a different OS we can get around the patent? Time to add some ideas to the public domain.
Someone want to make a website that scrapes through software patents on http://www.google.com/patents and adds ' on a linux based computer' to the end of them, and then reposts them as public domain?

The US does similar: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks
And I would imagine at the cost, many countries do it. Its kind of like affiliate marketing, but more honest.
I agree. Might as well sell the vulnerabilities, thats what m$ does.

I don't understand, how would that protect them from someone stealing their private key?
Yeah, here is a link to the design to what he is trying to detect. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/13703
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the human rights activists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a human rights activist.
Then they came for the terrorists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a terrorists.
Then they came for the people with Verizon,
and I didn't speak out because I don't like getting charged that much for a phone plan.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

You make enough noise and they will tear each other apart to keep their vote. They are cut throat politicians.
Send this to your representatives:

If they don't change their mind, vote for the new guy and make sure they know why.

"It cannot be used to intentionally target any U.S. citizen"
So that's why they don't target anyone in specific. They just grab all the communications and treat us all like terrorists.

Playing used games probably will be a nice feature that they decide will remove in 2014.
