You know, when there's a hill between you and the school then it IS uphill both ways. Walking down-hill half the way doesn't really negate the up-hill walking.:)
Or, it'd simply be an option to sync with Google Bookmarks at the time of synchronization from the clients? Why compromise the security of the rest of your synchronized items (passwords, etc) by storing the PIN on their servers when it's perfectly fine to store it on the client(s) only? It wouldn't make any sense. They do not need the PIN on their servers to sync with Google Bookmarks.
The flash on hybrid hard drives is used to store data (say a copy of system RAM when hibernating) after the machine is off...think solid state storage like a USB drive, not solid state like system RAM.
Well yea, but I mean the virus isn't that threatening if the files aren't encrypted...and if they are encrypted then the encryption key is what's important.
I see though, he was assuming the password and encryption key weren't the same and I was assuming they were.
Why exactly couldn't the virus writer's public key be used to encrypt the files? Then he/she provides payers with his private key to decrypt them. How is that "inevitably vulnerable" ?
Or, a more sensible method would be to
Infect PC Generate a random password, P Encrypt files with P Encrypt P with public key, I, resulting in V the ciphertext version of the randomly generated password Victim must provide V to the virus writer who decrypts V with his private key, which results in P
Interesting....I wonder if that UAC window blocks SendKeys from other applications (i.e. the botnet app just clicks the correct buttons on the dialog). I bet they did SOMETHING to prevent this because it seems like an obvious first place to attack...will have to check that out once I get my hands on Vista.
I'm not sure if you're referring to Dance Dance Revolution or the stupid dance scene in Matrix Revolutions.

VMWare does some neat tricks to allow you to drag and drop files from your VM desktop to your host desktop (if it's Windows On Windows at least...haven't tried other configurations).
I'm sure this isn't happening at the level of integration you were thinking, but it's still a neat trick. Suprised the hell out of me when I first saw it.

That's a funny way of putting it....you do know that rootkits originated in the UNIX/Linux world eh? Any OS is vulnerable to a rootkit.
How about saying a paved road is better than a dirt bike? :)
Wow, two of you in one thread....
Did pulling that out of your ass hurt?
There's always someone....
Yea, I can't believe they only plan on release 10 titles ever. That's just retarded. What are they thinking???
It's really very rarely done because it's such a PITA to get working...but here's one (old) article on it...

just googled for it right quick

Yea...who doesn't have one of those??
Cretin. :)

Wow. You are amazingly shortsighted.

Heh....how exactly does the virus encrypt the files using this password it doesn't know?
The answer to this problem is public key crypto...not hashing the password.

Yea...that's WAY off. I bought a 300gig Maxtor 7200RPM external drive for $150 a few days ago.
I don't drink or have children so your point is moo!
Obviously they're only one switch away from that now....just change the direction of the device (point it the other way) and there we go.
That car sounds really interesting...........

Thanks for the info.
Right....because code running on the users machine can't modify the Windows Firewall settings itself....
Requiring 6x more shooters is easy? BTW, the article says it can handle multiple incoming projectiles...of course there's a limit but still.
