    I was just stating that were the common enemy for Russia and NK, therefor I would almost garuntee they would trade secrets if it could in any way hurt us.

    So you think a communist won't share with another communist to help their common cause?

    I think it was a joint effort by NK and Russia! Kim Jung Putin! Stinky bastard from what I hear.

    That must have been when Apple realized that there was no profit in low margin areas. And then started trying to exploit their name for Capitol gains. I'd say they did a rather good job as I type this from my iPhone. But imo the iPhone was the only product they have produced worth spending money on. I second your opinion on Adobe and Apple. And from the moment I read about chrome books and the fact they were going to be entry level priced I was intrigued. I don't however like the idea of turning people into marketing tools before they are old enough to legally sign a contract. Then again I'm sure that's most of the reason the hardware is as cheap as it is. Hopefully they will breed a generation of programmers that don't write shotty code like we see today.

    That is a possibility however, adding more interaction between sandbox and host leads to more potential ways to break out of the sandbox and truly be malicious. It's almost like a double edged sword. The more you try to prevent by passing to the host the more you possibly weaken your whole secure environment.

    When i went to school, all of the computers in the CCSD were macs. i hated it.

  10. to make getting the information from it easier i would assume. we all know laziness weakens security. it should not be connected. but they are. maybe that should be mandated also, while we all get to kick the microsoft employees in the nuts

    I would like to know where to find you on IRC, As you seem to be rather defensive here.. but you seem like you may know a thing or 2. Also got a few questions about your hosts file creator. If you could drop me an address with ssl port. i would like to chat a bit.

  15. Easier to use a decent router, and not allow any incoming traffic to your computer. but in either situation... it doesnt stop you from infecting yourself with phishing emails, or bad ads. stuff like that. things like chrome,edge,IE,firefox exploits are normally used when you load a page. and the only way to protect against those is decent AV software, adblocks, and pure knowledge of what not to do.

    Even if you use a randomizing URL it can be caught, and algorithm figured out to register the next years worth of domains. it was very bad implantation of a sandbox check.

    They are very efficient at it also. Used to get mine within hours. Hard to fight that kind of mitigation unless you use raw ip, which sometimes can become a problem to hide then. unless you have deep pockets for china.

    The answer is no, The only people that i could see being liable would be Microsoft. you cant sue me because i found a major flaw in some software you use. now if i proceed to use it on you and you catch me. then i think there may be grounds. but since this isnt malware distributed by the NSA.. im going to say that they cant be sued for it. then again im only a jailhouse lawyer

  25. Are you sure that wasnt just for local LAN filesharing? if what youre saying is the case port 445 would be in your forwarding section, as they wouldnt be able to send all traffic to all pc's as TCP routing doesnt work like that.
