Using the free Nessus tool can be very, very valuable towards securing your external IP-addressable presence if you don't have thousands of dollars to blow on security.
Note this will only identify some potential holes in your firewall, and won't secure you against other vectors like email worms, malicious employees, nuclear weapons, hair gel, etc.
My cell phone is my only phone. When you have "home phone" as a required field on most order forms, you have to give out something. Then, later, someone calls to sell you a hotel vacation, or Viagra. You can tell them it's your cell phone, and ask them where you can bill them for your minutes, but they just hang up on you.
These days, I just don't answer blocked ID's, and my voicemail says so. You need a valid caller ID to call me. Yes, it's pathetic and sub-optimal, but it's the system our lawmakers have left us with. Pay to be harassed, or become unavailable.
Of course, I always buy the Viagra, so it's not that bad a deal.
Sure, that's a terrific site. Can you assure everyone that you found it yourself? Availability of links such as these on Google is abundant. Thanks for the link, though.
FWIW is an abbrevation for "For What It's Worth" - just a little code-talk word that geeks use to communicate with each other. I looked it up on AOL. Hope this helps out all the normal people reading.
Personally, I believe this editorial comment reflects a common and popular myth in Slashdot folklore. I believe there is a tendency to assosciate a politicians' intelligence with his or her stance on issues. This myth strikes to the heart of a fundamnetal misunderstanding of how our political system works.
When a Congressperson is interviewed, they speak the words that they believe will win them the most soft money contributions. Being intelligent does not make one moral, in fact many very intelligent people disagree with the viewpoints of the Slashdot audience. This does make them stupid. Senator Hollings is probably very intelligent. He may or may not believe that what Hollywood orders him to do is good. But by representing Disney he is ensuring a rich flow of political lifeblood: soft money. Soft money that can overpower and drown out a hundred thousand screaming geeks that society has already marginalized into triviality.
Personally I'd love to know what Boucher's plans for financing his re-election campaign are, and who's funding his current viewpoint. If he's actually speaking from the heart, then he may actually be one of the stupid ones.
Reverse-engineering is fun. Reverse-engineering embedded systems is even more fun, because it's hard. Reverse-engineering safety-critical embedded systems is really challenging, and not for the stupid.
Now, what the author is talking about is reverse-engineering the systems that control AntiLock braking, ignition, and transmission control, among other things. It's a really cheap way to improve performance on a car.
Car companies (well, at least Ford) have a bad history when it comes to electronic civil liberties. At what point in reverse-engineering a throttle control system would you be "bypassing an access protection device"? Probably never. But consider that Adobe got someone jailed for breaking ROT13; Cuecat was XOR. If people start selling hot-rod software (and they are), how long will it be till auto manufacturers start answering Yes to the author's "is it encrypted" question. It might only be ROT13, but it would be enough to bust anyone who was selling firmware upgrades for a Mustang and put them out of business for good.
Anyone remember the 60 minutes Audi 5000 scandal? Where the car's fuel injection system was said to, in rare cases, cause the car to accelerate out of control, causing injury or death? Let your subconcious do the dreaming about the accidents that could come from improperly debugged ABS code or throttle control. Now imagine that someone hacks their car's firmware, crashes in a fireball, and their family sues the automaker. The automaker can't prove that the car was modified... at all.
My prediction: this stuff will scare automakers shitless, and they will fall all overthemselves to find a way to apply the DMCA to stopping the dissemination of reverse-engineering information.
No, you were just unintentionally right. "They could manage to run it on the iBook" means that they were able to run it on an iBook. Maybe you meant to say that they couldn't run it, but you made a Freudian penis. I mean slip.
Since Sony admits that their product is designed to cause damage to your computer system, almost anyone would likely have a good lawsuit against them.
There's a warning in my car owner's manual that admits that pouring gasoline all over myself and lighting a match may cause permanent injury or death. I should sue them!
Large UPS's are almost always SNMP Rev1 Managed. No security. Add that plus the recent spate of attacks on high-level security providers who use unsecured SNMP...
Yes, it really is just a f%*kup waiting to happen.
Should be the same as before, right? Artist puts down $1 million for WebPlay rights, gets played on the Web, and recoups it at.01c per album. That's the industry formula for protecting artists, if I recall correctly.
"It's like any other addiction," Elizabeth Woolley said last week.
"Except for the chemical dependency, the violent interference with the brain's core function, the hallucinations, ability to ignore pain, increased heart rate and risk of heart failure, sexual disfunction, and massive expense, it's just like any other addiction. Addicts always look like my son: fat, sedentary losers with glasses."
"Carnivore is not deployed on our network," Shaw said. "We certainly do comply with law enforcement, but we do so in a way that does not compromise our users' privacy."
How does that work, exactly? Does Earthlink force you to use military-grade encryption prior to subscribing?

That's pretty good. I mean, you should actually make fun of me; I deserve it. But if you wanna go after him, perhaps:
A comment that sucks manly cocks
Just like that blowhard FortKnox
Or something.

That's an unfair characterization. I'm more offtopic than longwinded. Sheesh.
