Sadly you don't get what you pay for with american schools. I wouldn't mind the schools and teachers getting more cash but there is little to demonstrate it does any good. I think getting rid of some school administration would be a good start.
Yes I agree name things based on what they do don't make life hard on someone else just for some childish laughs Maybe in some situation it would be a good colorful metaphor for some action but I can't think of anything.. maybe DoS proof of concept or something.
heh butthead I said hard on.. huh huh it's an injector.. a code injector.
Would you grow up? We all know this could just as easily been L0LD0N65 or B16BU775 I myself use the word poopie quite frequently with peepee and turds also popular. I don't know that I would use them in anything serious.
I know that the vast majority of "hackers" are script kiddies.. but to say they're less skilled than our offering of security professionals is not true. Talk to your average CISSP you'll see that the skill distribution on the other side of the fence is equally matched. It's funny because most CISSP study material provides these frauds their excuse for lacking technical knowledge by chapter one. Golden nuggets like: "I don't need to know the details because I'm a manager" AND "Saying hackers are going to provide the best advice for stopping attacks is like asking a drunk driver how to keep the roads safe" (Implying that a guy who draws diagrams on a whiteboard but can't configure the network settings on a windows box is a better choice)
Sadly 20% of test takers fail their test the first time they take it and the MAJORITY have demonstrated 5 years of infosec experience prior to taking it.
This is why we have file permissions, read/append/no-exec only filesystems, and file integrity checking. If there is a 0day vulnerability it's as though your systems are already compromised. Also where are users going to store their documents, emails, databases? What about software that makes changes? Do you really want to rewrite a rom for each system in your enterprise and have some dude walking around swapping it out?
I don't think writing an OS to rom has a good cost/benefit ratio when it comes to computer security, not anymore anyhow. There are 100 other things that you could be doing first that are going to go further giving you bang for your security buck. Also I want you to consider the logistics of replacing all these chips, having a tech walk around and upgrade these machines is going to expensive and time consuming. Also you're going to have to account for human error in this process unless you have each one of these machines advertising it's rom version to some central location some machines are inevitably going to get missed.
Security works by identifying assets and risks and then building rings of security measures around each of those assets in order to mitigate that risk up until you've brought the risk down to an acceptable level given the cost and hassle of your measures. Always ask yourself ok so assuming X is hacked what's going to happen next to minimize the risk? I like to imagine that all my systems are old and buggy with well known remote exploits already and I have to try and make them secure without software updates.
Can I get a -1 troll? Unless you're sitting on some 0-day in the TCP/IP stack, iptables, openssh, or apache I think you're pretty much talking out of your ass because that's all that needs to be exposed on most installs. Microsoft EOL'd win95 and dropped all support for it a long time ago since that time I'm sure new remote vulnerabilities have been found that affect it. There is no way you can be serious.
You can sign up for SPAWAR as a civilian... many SPAWAR employees end up becoming navy reserve officers and show up in uniform once a month so they can get extra money.
Of course, but it turns out that cops are too incompetent to perform their jobs with that amount of scrutiny either they make mistakes and people get let off or they can't fabricate charges. I think they should have a little 360 degree camera mounted right to their shoulder.
There is no "Uninformative" to mod you down. Yeah they've done plenty of studies linking various changes in human behavior to toxoplasmosis infection. Your claim is so strange that I almost wonder if you're part of the pro-toxoplasmosis conspiracy or maybe you're a toxoplasmosis forcing a crazy cat lady to type these things.
Maybe if the time delay was like the next day with obvious exceptions. If having cameras on cops would increase conviction rates they'd already all have them, it doesn't which is why all the car cameras can be turned off now. As far as nuking north korea? You do know that's a whole country full of people right?
Point understood. But to be fair most of the excitement with obama was that bush was finally on his way out of office, a magical moment all by itself. On top of it all he was black which made the whole thing seem straight out of a fairy tale.
I voted for and still like Obama, but I was shocked by what I hear people say they thought he was going to do, no wonder so many people call him Bush part II. He surely is closer to Bush and all other mortal humans compared to the man some people were expecting him to be.
There are three Computer Science jobs for every computer science graduate. We're not getting paid enough. I also note that the military worked hard to give you low expectations, lose that attitude quick, it was just them trying to scare you into staying in. Also the pay in the military is sort of ok but not really great. A civilian who works as hard and plays the game as well as anyone in the military will go far just as long as they know where they should be expending their effort.
$400 gets you a nice computer with ubuntu, 3g, bluetooth, and like 3 open USB slots so you can add in anything you feel it's lacking. For another $10 you can add a usb SDR device and keep your AM/FM radio and get access to an expanded portion of the spectrum.
Oh man I remember having to write essays like this. It did a ton to convince me that adults were morons, an exercise in what does my teacher want to hear so that I'm out of trouble. As we all know teachers and administration are often wrong and make mistakes so making you admit fault on paper just builds quiet rage. They probably can't get away with it but I think making the kids clean the bathroom, paint the hallways, and wax the floors is a pretty good form of punishment, it's meditative as well. As an added benefit you can complete your punishment without being forced to admit guilt or fault.
Yeah I stopped driving my car long enough for the battery to deep discharge and I have to start it from a booster everytime I use it, it's a gas guzzler luxury car and I plan on replacing it with an efficient non-hybrid car soon.
The start button was invented so that people who had hardly used a computer could identify the first thing they should do to get to their program, then they can make guesses along the way all the way until they're at the selection they want. I think everyone has just gotten used to it but the start menu is overall pretty crappy. Just the menu with the lowest learning curve.
Most of the quicksilver style launching applications are much better options with a just barely higher learning curve plus the added benefit of not having to remove your hands from the keyboard. I have always hated the start button I am surprised to see so many of you defending it. It's borne of the same thinking that created control panel category view.
Shit! Commented right before I read this. Honestly is there any reason we shouldn't be allowed to mod people +1 funny even after we've made a post? It's not really well suited to abuse.
They would probably not look like housecats anymore but more or less, yes. If we're talking about possible I think it's totally POSSIBLE that life on earth was intelligently designed, I just don't see much evidence worth talking about. The whole discussion about teaching that evolution could be wrong should be moved out of the evolution debate and taught right along with scientific methodology, "These are the best guesses that mankind has been able to demonstrate likely to be true, anything and everything in this book could be wrong, until we know everything we cannot know anything for sure."
This entire article reeks of "Our fear and marketing department tells us that neither us our or competition are capturing the high-disposable-income multi-device-having 18-25 year old demographic so we need to start targeting these guys. "
The feeling I got is that old people are terrified of the internet which seems capable of biting them back at any moment. "Most concerned about security", it's also implied that young people encounter security problems more. The young people who I most encounter with security problems are fairly predictable (Very much in line with those who I would describe as less intelligent) , the old people I encounter who are likely to have security problems are almost any of them. Extremely young people who are under 18 also seem susceptible to security problems regardless of intelligence (Mostly due to recklessness "I don't run programs off the internet my common sense protects me".)
The article further goes on that young people are less likely to have "sophisticated" paid for security solutions, the article seems to imply it's because they can't afford these things. Of course the reason young people don't run them is because almost everything that costs money is really crappy, not that young people don't spend their money, they're a highly sought after demographic due to their uncommitted income and willingness to part with it.
Truth is the most effective antivirus measures you can take are keeping your stock firewall on, running adblock of some sort, running noscript of some sort, and running an antivirus scan whenever you have a hunch or every 6 months.... and using whatever webbrowser you DON'T see old people using.

Granted.. once the stakes get high enough it is probably worthwhile.

Just sign up for a vpn account with prq, they give you straight unfirewalled vpn with it's own static IP address.
