  1. Re:Wi-Fi Protected Setup on Wi-Fi Router Attack Only Requires a Single PIN Guess · · Score: 1

    Pin Code and Push Button are two separate WPS modes.

  2. Re:Someone got paid off on Wi-Fi Router Attack Only Requires a Single PIN Guess · · Score: 1

    I am the guy who did the research in this article actually.

  3. Re:Someone got paid off on Wi-Fi Router Attack Only Requires a Single PIN Guess · · Score: 0

    So to be crystal clear, are you accusing me of being a liar and having accepted money from a vendor?

  4. Re:Which routers are affected? on Wi-Fi Router Attack Only Requires a Single PIN Guess · · Score: 1

    Yes, of course, but it's unfortunately very complicated.

    1. Showing a router is vulnerable is easy. Proving one is not is hard.

    2. Buying and reversing each and every router is mighty expensive.

  5. Re:Someone got paid off on Wi-Fi Router Attack Only Requires a Single PIN Guess · · Score: 2

    Nobody got paid. We call this responsible disclosure. Only thing is the Broadcom flaw was found before the second flaw and so they has a heads up.

  6. Re:A "nonce"? WTF? on Wi-Fi Router Attack Only Requires a Single PIN Guess · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the resulting articles are always pretty far away from what you told the reporters. Better look at the slides.

  7. Re:Who knew! on New Crypto Attack Affects Millions of ASP.NET Apps · · Score: 1

    With an OTP you will also find a key that says:

    I can't meet today

  8. Re:Who knew! on New Crypto Attack Affects Millions of ASP.NET Apps · · Score: 1

    How can such a low ID say such nonsense. You sir are a shame to our kind.

  9. Re:The best on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    I don't call this a bug. I use this to prevent one of my computers to reach the network when I forgot to connect the VPN. (yeah I could use a firewall).

  10. Still playing the Dreamcast on Today's Best Dreamcast Games · · Score: 1

    When we organize game parties with friends, we usually still play the DC instead of the PS2 or xbox.

    We mainly play Chu Chu Rocket and Worms armageddon. And even the girls want to play these games.

  11. Re:why does france hate google? on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1

    Actually French is spoken in France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, Luxembourg and large part of Africa.

    It is also spoken in the USA in Louisiana.

    French is the official language in 40 countries.

    But you are probably American right? And you also think that Switzerland and Sweden are the same country? (A very common mistake when I was living in the States).

  12. Re:Heh? This is old news on Banks Begin To Use RSA Keys · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most of Europe is actually using either RSA tokens or RSA smartcards already.

  13. Cow manure? on Virtual Tourists in the Swiss Alps · · Score: 1

    I am Swiss and this story sounds like cow manure to me.

  14. Re:I don't go to movies anymore on Do You Go Out to the Movies or Wait for the DVD? · · Score: 1

    And I forgot to say that most movie theaters were I live only play dubbed movies. Not many play original versions. So DVD is the only way to have an enjoyable experience.

  15. Re:It's missing on Do You Go Out to the Movies or Wait for the DVD? · · Score: 1

    I could probably go to the movies every week for 20 years for the price of my Home Theater, not counting price of the DVDs.

  16. I don't go to movies anymore on Do You Go Out to the Movies or Wait for the DVD? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because I have a nice home theater, and because the quality is even better than many of the cheap theaters near my place.

    I am also happy not to have to deal with kids talking during the movies. However, I kinda miss the "social experience" of going to the movies.

  17. Re:Quote from TFA on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I always flash my Asus motherboard directly within Windows XP.

  18. Re:Pfffft... whatever! on What's Up With Computer Audio? · · Score: 1

    I recently heard some new and quite popular electronic tracks (hardtrance, hardstyle) that sounded really like they are using the SID.

  19. Re:More common than you think on JBoss Caught in Anonymous Posting Scheme · · Score: 1

    In Gibson's novel "Pattern recognition", there are people who are paid to hang out in bars, get to meet people, and then covertly advertise products during the ensuing discussions.

  20. Re:Software patents are evil on Apple Files Patent for Translucent Windows · · Score: 5, Interesting
    If Apple really did do it first then no one else can patent it anyway (prior art).

    This is not true.

    The proof being that it it was, we wouldn't be looking for prior art in the first place. Don't expect the guys at the patent office to do it correctly.

    That said, it is far easier to get a patent than trying to fight somebody suing you for patent infringement and trying to prove you have prior art.

  21. Switzerland on Broadband Over Power Lines: Coming Soon? · · Score: 2, Informative

    We have had Powerline Communications (PLC) in Switzerland since 2001 already.
    Sorry, the link is in French or German only.

  22. Cloakware on Morphing Code to Prevent Reverse Engineering? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Cloakware also has some nice obfuscation technologies

  23. Re:two words on KISS · · Score: 1

    I think that the guy complained that the function was hard to find and use, unlike in older devices. Not that it existed.

  24. Addendum on Secure Programmer: Keep an Eye on Inputs · · Score: 1

    Before someone says "but your link is about a book, not an online article!" please see here

  25. Interesting article? on Secure Programmer: Keep an Eye on Inputs · · Score: 1

    What is so interesting about this article?

    I just wrote a document about secure programming and I found dozens of better articles about the exact same things like: here
