  6. Re:What's wrong with national IDs? on Beyond Fear · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Becuase they do not buy any security and they open many holes.
    You may trust your government enough to know everything about you and to keep it all in one great big database but you have to keep in mind that here in America we don't so much. In fact we are an entire country founded on the thought that the government should get the fuck out of our lives. National IDs do nothing for security they do nothing to prevent idenitity theft they do nothing but put all of your personal info in one database that can be abused by those who have access to it and broken into and abused by those who do not. In Beyond Fear Bruce goes through this with the 5 step process. You spend a large amount of money and get nothing in return.

    Think about it for a moment and I can only speak for the US but I'll walk you through the process.

    I have a drivers license and a Social Security card. With those two forms of ID I can get any other form of ID that we have here in the US. Those two pieces of ID are in turn based on a birth cert. You can get a birth cert for a couple of hundred dollars. To implement a national ID they would have to figure out someway to figure out who everybody is and at this point it is impossible to prove who anyone is beyond accepting what their current IDs say. See the problem yet?

    So national IDs will just give you another ID that says that you are who you claim to be. But if I don't like being that person anymore it would take a couple of hundred dollars and a bit of time to be someone else. There is *no* way that you can prove that anyone is anyone. Trying to do so is pointless and will merely cause problems for honest folks.

    End users can and should be patched by pushing them down over the network. Servers you need to test for but you need to get on it and they should. I'm a net admin and have ~5 servers that I just *know* are going to get infected. I can't wait till I get to take them off the network till the fucks patch them. Going to be fun.

  14. Re:HTTP knowledge required? on HTTP Developer's Handbook · · Score: 1

    If you saw some of the sniffs from stuff built by devs who don't know HTTP and then hear them wonder why their stuff is slow you would change your mind. If devs had a basic understanding of HTTP then maybe just maybe they would build stuff that did not use insane amounts or bandwidth.

  15. Re:hardly useful for 'admin's but for others... on Nmap Gets Version Detection · · Score: 0

    No it is there are more than one kind of admin. For example as a network/security admin it is *very* usefull for me to be able to find out what version of things my lusers have on cloud facing boxen. It is not a good thing that many of those lusers have agendas that are not in line with my needs but it is a fact of life so a tool like this can help me out. Granted I can and do use Nessus but nmap is quick and easy and more tools are better. Also when trying to track down rouge boxen it is a godsend. Admin != sys admin and for other types this is a great thing.
