  1. Or how about, if you want to be a hacker, move to North Korea.

    It's annoying that you think a charity makes a politician look corrupt. I understand that you think facts have a liberal bias but at some point we need to accept that certain people just can't determine witch hunts from actual scandals because of the fucking fox news bubble..

    It's a silly story. The state department doesn't even have anything to do with TARP.

    It's not quid-pro-quo, it's a charitable donation. A write-off for the donors. It's certainly much less fishy than Trump donating 25K to the Florida AG who was investigating Trump U and subsequently dropped the case.

    They're capable of catching people who were already caught? That sounds true I guess.

    Yeah, it was this weird thing where the console wouldn't launch anymore and I couldn't find any recommendation other than to remove the app and reinstall it - which worked by the way, but all my customization went bye-bye. It had something to do with me trying to get the scrollback buffer working proper. Anyway, like I said, too much effort for me to go through again. Maybe in a couple years.

  7. Problem is, Shkreli is still paying taxes so he's clearly not as smart as Trump.

    I was excited about this at first but then after spending a day or two getting my environment the way I like it, the Windows part crashes and I have to re-install everything. So now I'm back to Cygwin and VMs, neither of which ever give me any trouble. Maybe I'll try it again in a few years when they work out the bugs.

    A 10 char password is guaranteed to get cracked in a scenario like the Yahoo breach, so congratulations, you fall into the "risky password" group.

    For big brute force attacks like the Yahoo breach, it's all about length (assuming you don't choose something in a wordlist). Correct horse battery staple passwords are ok but they need a bit of punctuation. A random char password is never getting cracked unless it's too short.

    You're talking out of your poopy hole, If your IoT devices have been compromised, your pool boy or local nerd is behind it, his botnet is limited to a few blocks, or whatever he can wardrive on his huffy 10 speed. Honestly, this is beneath the scope of what you really should be be worrying about, especially considering the current US political climate.

    The short version is this: If you want your IoT devices to not be part of a botnet, DO NOT BUY ANY.

    Bullshit. You need to explicitly DMZ your IoT device for it to be remotely Pwn4ble, That's not to say that your neighbor can't hack it, he absolutely can. But some random D-bag in Israel cannot (unless you live in Israel and are neighbor to a D-bag).

    If it's connected to the internet directly, and it has no built in security apart from "admin" "password", it's part of a botnet or soon will be.

    In other words, no. Since no IoT devices are connected to the interned directly.

    It's not about that. The initial hack could have been anything from a 0day to a 5 year old exploit - you don't know and that's not the issue anyway. The issue is that they didn't tell anybody about it for 2 years. Users need to know that their passwords are compromised because they often will (for example) use the same password for online banking.

  24. Yeah, I'm not sure I buy blaming IoT devices either. Yes they're all vulnerable, but you have to be nearby to exploit.

  25. Why, because the ISPs who can't block the spoofed IPv4 packets will somehow be able to block spoofed IPv6 packets? What's the thinking there?
