I dont think you understand how SSL works. Its entire purpose is to defeat MITM.
And YOU don't understand what would happen if "the man" in the middle has access to the certificates, either the masters or the actual certificates themselves.
Do you really think "mysecretdomain.com" certificate from shitty ass low cost certificate provider doesn't have a duplicate key on file at Comodo, Network Solutions, GoDaddy or TwoCows or whatever?
They don't have to brute force or hack anything if they have an appliance in the middle that automatically grabs the certificate from the certificate issuer and spoofs both sides of the connection.
If you want your traffic encrypted, you need to generate your own certificates using software you compiled after you reviewed the code.
Oh, hey, look at that! Shooting at the Washington Navy Yard this morning. Three or four victims in critical condition, including a DC cop!

And now the NSA will have a finger print database for all iphone users with minimum effort.
Stop this. Stop it this very instant. The NSA (or any other nefarious creature / corporation / government entity / evil deity) is not interested in a user's fingerprint.
First, as has been mentioned ad nauseaum, you don't get a fingerprint - you get a hash of an output off a sensor that relates to a fingerprint.
Second, even if you could reconstruct the loops and whorls of the fingerprint then so what? You leave a veritable trail of fingerprints (and DNA and a host of other things we don't want to talk about here) everywhere you haul your ugly bit of meatspace around to. Nobody cares about a single fingerprint. The only valid concern is whether or not someone can take an existing copy of your fingerprint and gain access to the device. We shall see.
IF it works (big if) then it's a fine bit of biometrics to allow you to play Angry Birds. If you are carrying more sensitive information on your iPhone and you don't have it encrypted separately from phone access, sucks to be you.
Not every bit of security has to be able to foil three letter government agencies.
Look, dumbass. That part in bold IS HOW THEY DO FINGERPRINT SEARCHES.
That step, is 90% of the way toward doing a fingerprint look up, 1) get fingerprint 2) hash the interesting parts 3) search 4) sort through the results by hand. Steps 1 - 2 will be done by the user voluntarily with these phones, step 3 by court order to Apple (or without), NSA already stated they have been illegally (without a warrant) collecting data off smart phones.
Sure, their list of candidates may be 100 people, but it's easy to cross reference them out using the metadata they already have on where they collected those prints.
They very well could decide you are a terrorist and do deeper searches on you in particular, or more likely, start to harass you via the IRS like the Obamaites have been doing.
Apple is doing the same here with the fingerprint data. They store a local hash of the fingerprint rather than the fingerprint itself, then simply verify against the hash when authenticating the user.
That's how ALL fingerprint databases work. A hash of the notable marks on the fingerprint. They search for this to bring up candidates and then review it by hand. Being on the list of candidates may be all the NSA is after.
Sending that hash from an iPhone to some server is basically the equivalent of volunteering to have that print searched against a database. Matching a phone or person with possibly yet unidentified prints.
Then it's Hmm, now we know the person that held that cup nearby when event X where two dissenting taxpayers met that one time was Anubis IV. Anubis IV maybe one of our suspects!
PH of a very acidic soda = 2.522, PH of stomach acid = 1.35
Don't blame the soda for having an acidic stomach.
If you drink something acidic, the total acidity level of your stomach will be more than if you drink water.
So acidity *add-up* ?... Really ?
No. But volumes of liquid do ya dumbass troll. A can of acidic soda will vastly increase the overall impact of "acid in the stomach" because there's lots more of it than normal.

I ordered some stuff on Amazon once as a birthday present for my daughter. It was something that she was interested in at that time, but possibly not anymore. Anyway, she isn't going to buy this again, because I bought it for her as a Christmas present. And I'm not going to buy it for myself, because I'm not interested in it and never was. Amazon bombarded me with adverts to things related to this product for years. Absolutely annoying.
Now if my wife wants anything from Amazon, I buy it. It's all the same bank account, so it doesn't matter whose card is used. So if you look at my purchase history at Amazon, it will look distinctly weird. If you look at the records I bought at iTunes, or my eBay purchases, that's just as weird. Where this is really a violation of privacy is when I open my Mac, go to Amazon, and it shows me everything my wife has been looking at, and vice versa.
Amazon.com is funny that way. They offered me a whole page of dildos for mother's day and followed it up with an email with an electric wall plug in model.
Which is pretty funny on it's face, since my purchasing history right before that day was three knives, a bayonet and a shotgun sling. I do a lot more shopping now (dry food, cleaners, clothes, shoes, household tools and utensils) and now it's a wide variety of ads, but for a little while, my profile was quite screwed up there.
They must think I am some kind of Ariel Castro or something.;)
You forgot the non-"measure" which is the fundamental truth that anyone trying to take over a plane might be heartily attacked by the passengers and crew. People get out of control or off their drugs once in a while, and some of them are accidentally killed while being restrained by other passengers or security forces for acting out.
An actual hijacker will probably face something quite a bit more brutal.
If the alternative is certain death, people will bite you to death on plane. THAT is keeping planes from being hijacked. Non-compliance.
First, you can use it to weed out noobs in videogames that ask for cheats. "ALT + F4 for cheat menu" and often a bunch of them will "quit the game"
Also, people who think you need a mouse to close a window won't realize you weren't working on what you said you were working on, and they won't get you just closed the hentai porn containing window.
Only a few times have I needed to get a tab back. Many times I want to close a program fast.
My vote is ALT + F4
the fools that want to enforce local taxes on out of state Internet purchases don't understand.
Amazon and a couple other large Internet retailers, are on the virge of, and WANT TO compete locally like this.
The difference, at this point, in their costs is hovering around the difference between the local taxes and the "out of state" places they sell.
Once that difference is wiped out, there will be six or seven Amazon distribution centers in every state and they'll be doing next day or same day service on almost all purchases, and will be able to deliver 50 different types of lettuce faster than you can drive around town to purchase three. When there's a professional driver with a route to worry about transpiration, the thing coming from the next county over is nto a big deal whereas the household errand runner can't or won't go that far.
Not to mention non-perishable stuff like DVDs, books, small appliances, tools, grains and dry "grocery" goods. They won't care if a TV sits on a shelf for a month while a local retailer does. Heck, I buy a lot of grains, crackers, household cleaners, paper products, etc. on Amazon now just because I am often thinking of it when I am at work (in front of a computer) and forget when I go to get a salad from the grocery store.
The retailers crying about unfair competition have no idea what is about to hit them. The "tax the out of state purchase" push will absolutely kill a bunch of retailer types. They'll hold on for a few years while the luddites die out, but Best Buy being "Amazon's showroom" will spread to every other non convenience store / fast food type local operation or people will just learn to do their research online. (Also note, once the threshold is reached, there will be so much reviewing going on that making a decision will be easy and reliable. Going to talk to the salesweasel and finger-fuck the thing won't need to happen.
Politicians mining the data to see which opinions they need to have during the election to get them elected.
Once elected they continue to do what they really wanted to do anyway.
Not quite. A politician in charge of the NSA able to wiretap anything "accidentally" able to track in real time how to manipulate elections. Same politician who sent the IRS after political enemies.
I can't wait for this infrastructure to be used against the other party when the time comes. It'll be delicious.
I lived with a Frenchman for a while and I was making French toast for breakfast once and I asked him what they call it in France. He told me he'd never heard or seen this food before. I asked him why it was called French toast then, and with dead seriousness he replied, "Probably to make it sound better."
Interestingly enough, to go along with the article mentioning tortillas, "French Tortillas" cooked the same way as French Bread are quite good too. Four tortillas are a bit better than corn when used this way. I was quite pleased to discover it worked well.
Bread is not used fast enough in my household so flour tortillas are often a substitute. Tortillas last much longer than a loaf of bread does when stored on a kitchen counter.
I still use Windows XP and Windows 2000. They were good operating systems and, from my perspective, Vista, 7, and 8 haven't brought anything to the table. Quite the opposite, in fact: I went full penguin after Vista came out. It was patently clear that Microsoft was going in a direction I didn't want to go.
Yes, but what of the botnets? Who will take care of them? Without care and feeding of ineffective security updates to make users believe they are safe from such things, the botnets will wither and die.
Based on the originating addresses of the shit in my firewall logs, "not having patches available" won't make a wit of difference to the Chinese.
They aren't patching now! And they are rife with security holes and compromised computers already.
My guess is a good portion of XP boxes in that area of the world are pirated Windows anyway.
If the barrel can now withstand multiple bullets being fired, does that also mean that the material used to make the barrel is strong enough to become a bullet that would cause serious injury to a human? At that point, does the only requirement for metal become the firing pin and the jacket for the bullet (the part that holds the gunpownder explosion and which the firing pin strikes.)
Theres always caseless rounds, as used in the HK G11.
Cases take heat out of the system. The case is warm as it leaves the ejection port, and as it turns out that's a critical function.
Caseless rounds have heat build up problems even with modern metal materials making up the firearm.
There are considerable materials challenges before caseless becomes practical on a regular firearm, let alone something printed using plastic and heat to melt it.
I can see some low power rounds with large cases (say something the size of a.45/70 but necked down to a.22 caliber for the projectile and barrel, then with a very thick case wall. Then you are only worried about the first few inches of barrel... bringing it to a manageable engineering problem.
You can shut your mind to the obvious, but he's working on a method to make a gun that bypasses regulation and makes creating and disposing of any number of murder weapons very easy, with hardly any other application (because we already have guns that are better, except they're not as easy to get and to get rid of). Someone who just gives orders and never fires a gun or makes the weapon and never fires it is still to blame and to hope that it backfires on them is not immoral.
You are quite stupid and misinformed. Or, just unwilling to put in the effort to not be (as evidenced by your posting anonymously).
Aside from NFA items, there are NO regulations banning the creation of firearms at home for personal use. If have the tools, means and knowledge, I can build myself a gun.
It's particularly efficient to just create the serial stamped part (which currently, is the part that holds the fire control group involving the trigger and associated pins and in some cases the hammer, firing pin, or hammer actuator).
So, for example, if I choose to make an AK-47 pattern rifle out of an old shovel and parts, there is NO regulation or paperwork or anything like that. All I need to do is fold it, cut it, and drill it and I have the frame, the serialized part that I would have to do paperwork to purchase. The ONLY thing unusual about this is instead of machining a few parts and buying the rest, the guy is printing most of them and adding a few springs and hard points.
Not revolutionary, not new. Just a simple small step in the progression.
It's not bypassing anything. It's "making it out of plastic". Sorta like how some people think adding "on the internet" creates a new and novel thing, your opinion is equally myopic and retarded. This is an OBVIOUS next step. Just because you don't understand how the world works is no reason to panic. Just stay off the freeway (that's the big driveway with the white and yellow lines painted on it).
The first tool to "wear" when you start moving away from a disaster is your legal concealed firearm (which you have PRACTICED with and are proficient in handling).
Way to rub it in, asshole. Some of us can't afford the luxury of residing in the bible belt, appalachia, or some other shithole where "legal concealed firearm" isn't an oxymoron. And I say this as an owner of several firearms, a few of which could be (and would be) carried concealed if the legal climate in the developed states wasn't so fucking unconstitutional.
because CHUDs
LOL.
Move? Or, stop voting for the idiots that don't let you carry? Carry anyway?
This is obvious FUD created by some government to prevent people from using 3D printers to print guns.
Yup. Pretty much this right here. "We can't control it, so we'll make you scared of it." Complete bullcrap. Use it in a well ventilated area or add a few household filters to the room.
There hasn't been enough of these out for a long enough time for "OMG THEY CAUSE CANCER" of any kind. (Except in Commifornia, where everything causes cancer except liberalism.)
Simple. Do good, make people working for you feel they're doing something good for the world.
That, and pay them decently. And don't fuck me with health care, and don't lie to me about the "automatic bonus" when it's obvious the accountant is re-arranging the books to avoid paying bonuses. "Doing good" only matters if I am not getting kicked out of my house because my SO lost her job.
Company culture only goes half way, company culture with good pay is the best way to avoid security breeches by employees.
More than likely the "we are non profit" mantra is double-speak for "we ain't gonna pay much for it" and probably "we'll pay late, and try to get the host to do it for free as a "charity"
So, my advice, look for the dumbest host you can, the smart ones will kick you off in a year or two when they tire of your shit.
The execution was amteurish, but today's news proves that the principle is worth exlporing further.
We could force the NSA to monitor covert channels in spam (whether they do exist or not), so they may have to dedicate even more resources on hardware and electricity. The more they scan spams, looking for a message that may or may not be there, the less resources they have left to spy on ordinary citizens.
You know, if the NSA fucktards lifted a finger to remove or kill Spammer machines (or spammers themselves) all this shit would go away over night.
NSA: "We killed spam forever."
Populace: "How?"
Nerds: "Who the fuck cares how! Let's go back to farting around with bash scripts!"
I recently read that many Apple communications are encrypted: "Conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt that data." . So, are all of us who use these Apple communications tools behaving in a way that gives NSA grounds for retaining our IMs? OMG NSA, CU @ the mall real soon. K?
Or, more likely, Apple built a back door for the feds, or is simply mistaken, or more likely, lying about it.

More than likely the "we are non profit" mantra is double-speak for "we ain't gonna pay much for it" and probably "we'll pay late, and try to get the host to do it for free as a "charity"
So, my advice, look for the dumbest host you can, the smart ones will kick you off in a year or two when they tire of your shit.
We could force the NSA to monitor covert channels in spam (whether they do exist or not), so they may have to dedicate even more resources on hardware and electricity. The more they scan spams, looking for a message that may or may not be there, the less resources they have left to spy on ordinary citizens.
You know, if the NSA fucktards lifted a finger to remove or kill Spammer machines (or spammers themselves) all this shit would go away over night.
NSA: "We killed spam forever."
Populace: "How?"
Nerds: "Who the fuck cares how! Let's go back to farting around with bash scripts!"
I recently read that many Apple communications are encrypted: "Conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt that data." . So, are all of us who use these Apple communications tools behaving in a way that gives NSA grounds for retaining our IMs? OMG NSA, CU @ the mall real soon. K?
Or, more likely, Apple built a back door for the feds, or is simply mistaken, or more likely, lying about it.
