Do people still use the same salt for all hash-functions? I assume this can be easily fixed if you just use an unique value (like the username) as a salt.
Microsoft is never more dangerous than when they are losing to a competitor and everyone knows it. Look what they did to Netscape, fer chrissakes. Netscape went from 85% market share, to a stripped carcass in the dumpster behind AOL HQ. Took a while, but it happened.
Wrong. Netscape killed itself. While IE was evolving, Netscape decided to rewrite their browser from scratch (terrible mistake!).
DirectX is COM-based, so it remains backwards-compatible. COM specifies that new versions of a COM component should support the older interfaces. Besides, the only time I remember that there was a drastic change in DirectX's architecture, was when they switched from DX7 to DX8 when DirectDraw en Direct3D where merged into DirectGraphics. Besides, even then you could still use the older interfaces if you wanted to.
Like I said : I do the MCSE track in self-study (after working hours, so only having one or two hours a day). So no, I cannot pass all the exams in 14 hours like you.
And yes, I have an official "degree" from a real school, and I have done software-development for 2 years. Besides, here in Belgium there is no education in system-administration. all IT-related eductation is focused more on software-development. Getting a job in system-adminsitration is very hard if you don't have any previous experience (always the chicken and egg situation : you cannot get a job in system administration if you don't have experience, but you can't get experience because you can't get the jobs). an MCSE can help in this situation. However I'm lucky that my current job includes both : 50% development and 50% system-administration.
ps : I never said that an MCSE is a substitute for a real degree from a respected school.
pps : If you have any tips for a developer who wants to switch to a full-time job in system-administration, please enlighten me...
ppps : and yes indeed, English is not my native language:-)
There are a lot of former flower arrangers who one day realized that network admins were making 60k a year to manage 1 server!
So they slammed thier flowers down and decided to take an MCSE class and now they are flower arrangers again;)
It seems to you that an MCSE certification is easy to obtain. Let me introduce you to the truth.To become an MCSE you have to take 7 examens.
4 Core exams
- Windows 2000 Professional (Exam 70-210) : Installing and configuration of a W2K box in your network. Topics include : Attended and unattended installation, joining a domain, ACL's en file-permissions, local profile management and policy, updating (slipstreaming service-packs, etc...), and general trouble-shooting
- Windows 2000 server (Exam 70-215): Install and configuration of a W2K server in your network. Topics include : Attended and unattended installation, creating a domain, ACL's en file-permissions, domain profile management and policy, updating (slipstreaming service-packs, etc...), dialup, faxing, firewall, IIS, clustering, and general trouble-shooting
- W2K network infrastructure (Exam 70-216): Similar concepts as previous, but more in-depth.
- Active Directory (Exam 70-217): Teaches you everything about AD you ever wanted to know. My advice to people who bitch about AD being "full of bugs" and "unreliable" : Learn how it works !! Just because it does things differently than the system you have experience with, doesn't make it bad ! If you never bother to read a manual or get informed about a product, you shouldn't be in IT anyway.
then you have to do 1 design exam. You can choose between these topics
- Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure (70-219)
- Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network (Exam 70-220)
- Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure (Exam 70-221)
After you passed these exams, you are required to do 2 more elective exams which cover a broad range of topics (IIS, Exchange, SQL Server etc...)

MCSE overview
Believe me, you cannot get an MCSE in a few days or a few weeks. I'm follwing the MCSE-track (self-study) and it can easily take a year (or more if you don't have any w2k-admin experience, like me) before you get your MCSE degree.

Wait 'till discover all the porn...
That's what I like about Open Source: the occasional drama... and it's free too! Time to cancel my cable-TV subscription
Cool story bro...
"The KLF" already wrote a manual (which is really called "The Manual" :-) ) on how to make a #1 hitsong. I think it was written in the late nineties.
:-)
They more or less mention the same things. If you want to read it, google is your friend

To all of those who never bothered to inform themself on the issue :
The law states that only the meta-information is stored (sender, recipient, date & time etc...)
NOT the content itself.
The missing choice :
Learn to say "NO" and you'll not be exploited. They can't force you to work 80 hours a week, you know !
Have some balls, dammit !!
Two words : No support
Because a lot of software-packages use the MS-Office Active-X/OLE controls to generate documents (orders, invoices, etc...)

Check out this article at Joel's site : Netscape goes bonkers
Face it : Netscape had a good browser, but they threw it away.
Nope. That was the Superman/Clark Kent scenario

Greetings,
According to a Belgian newspaper, the second victim had serious burns on her leg and was taken to hospital.
Yeah !!! Power to the people !!!!
Together with the developers of Apache and sendmail. These software-packages had security-holes too.
I thought there was an exception for kernel-modules.
A few hours ?! You gotta be kidding. Auto-update takes about 10 minutes here (and I run it every week). Never had any problems with it.
And I run a firewall and a anti-virus package that updates its definition-files everytime I boot. So yes.. it IS possible to have a secure Windows PC.
I thought MIDI files where handled by the Standard MIDI Mapper by default, not by DirectMusic.
However, I could be wrong...
No, It's not a matter of "just checking the input". Buffer overflows can happen in every routine that manipulates or analyzes strings.
In fact, a simple routine like strcpy() in C, can cause a lot of buffer overflows.
