  1. MSVC Re:Impossible to obfuscate C? on Slashback: Embed, Dougal, FireWire · · Score: 2

    Save it as moon.c (cut and paste into a msvc edit window)

    Create a new "CONSOLE" PROJECT.

    add file moon.c to project.

    (compile, link &) run (ignore the warnings)

    works here.

    the devil is in the details:
    128-bit is 2^64 times stronger than 64 bit.

    No, it is 2^8 times harder to crack (For private/public key) . Check your theory. still it is highly unlikely to be found this way.

  4. client Re:security on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 2

    This at least requires a client to have raw socket access in my opinion. If it is supposed to setup a connection without the normal syn startup (as i read the article) it needs some direct raw ip access. This allows a lot of spoofing from windows boxed that are "rooted:"

    Want to know more about raw socket access, ask gibson about that.

    1)Digital Audio Workstations.

    They are already an reality, we are now waiting for the video equivalent.

    5 minutes, then there is still a lot of room for improvement.

    3)Better programming paradigms. Virtual machine system.
    You need some virtulization support on the cpu level for this, not more speed. But 4+ GL tools are able to eat a lot of the extra speed that is generated. Don't think of better 3gl languages, think better 4gl languages!

    Conclusion: you are aiming too low.

    It has been there for some time. ecomstation is OS/2 in a fresh jacket. X-server, fat32, USB support etc etc.

  12. Re:Will it work? on Throttling Computer Viruses · · Score: 2

    For an other reason i doubt this will work.

    Nimba (the first one) had a bug so it scanned all the ip's in the same order. (it forgot to seed the random generator). But if a virus truely randoms seeks out ip's it will be trothled for a short while. But after some time the same exponentional behaviour will occur where more and more computers infect more and more computers.

    But he concludes correctly: nimba will be throtled.

  16. why the kill bit does not work. on Another Critical Microsoft Hole · · Score: 5, Insightful

    According to the MSTECH bulletin:
    Why isn't it feasible to set the Kill Bit in this case?

    The ActiveX control involved in these vulnerabilities is used in many applications and web pages to access data. Many applications, including third-party applications, contain hard-coded references to it; if the patch set the Kill Bit, the web pages would no longer function at all - even with the new, corrected version. As a result, the patch updates the control to remove the vulnerabilities, but does not provide a brand-new control and set the Kill Bit on the old one.


    Conclusion:
    -Microsoft refuses to kill itself.

    how does this relate to: the story Microsoft on Security: We'll Break Your Apps
