Well, instead of using an OS that does what it damn well wants (like mount all drives read/write by default), why don't you use Linux and simply create a drive image straight from the raw device without mounting at all?

Funny story: I was in a training class and the topic turned to forensic analysis. I mentioned that the Air Force wrote a wonderful tool, the previously mentioned DCFLDD.

So how is it that they can do it without worrying about copying while no one else can? Maybe if you treat your customer with respect, they will return the favor?
I understand that they don't do textbooks. But you could do a whole lot worse for textbooks than O'reilly.
InfoSec careers are often unglamorous. Writing, policies, making integration recommendations, attending spec meetings, reviewing logs, etc... No, your typical InfoSec career isn't being a White-hat security reseacher.
Often, with less-than-enlightened organizations (most of them), a good bit of your activity is justifying your own existence, as InfoSec is a cost-center and doesn't bring anything to the bottom line, unless you get hacked of course. In which case, you're there to take the blame (for management not following your advice).
Am I bitter? Of course! But I still love my job...

Really, you can get an idea for the target audience for a show by watching the ads. Watch late night TV? You must need psychic help so you can decide which work-at-home scheme you want to invest in. At home during the day? You must be an unemployed laborer who was injured on the job and got screwed by the insurance company or you're a homemaker that needs a lot of feminine hygene and cleaning products.

It never ceases to amaze that a large majority of the people on this board have an innate aversion to serve the country that has provided them with the most freedom and liberty of ANY government in the history of man.
Freedom and liberty are NOT "gifts" from the government, but inalienable rights bestowed by the creator! Governments do NOT serve the interests of man, but their own self-interests! True freedom is defended from government and paid for with the blood of patriots and tyrants!
Suggested before? Maybe... You missed the patent angle, though. Could MS have a hissy fit and start sueing everyone using the Win API without a license?
On the other hand, by splitting the Win API into that which is used by WINE and that which is used by brother Bill, could devs support one or the other with just a compiler switch? Could MS force the new(er) API (and thereby force NewWindows into the market) with new features that WINE can't (timely) duplicate? Or is the core question, is there anything left to "innovate" with a Windows OS? If not, MS just lost the Win API to the market as a defacto standard.
Seeing how Longhorn has dropped, one by one, every "new" feature it was supposed to have, things can't be going very well in Redmond right now. Go Apple!
All the discussion of trolls pisses me off. Slashdot works well because it's anti-censorship- you have to have that to have a real discussion community. With that in mind, if you read comments at +2, you'll pretty much get rid of all the trolls and flame wars. Slashdot is what YOU make it. If you don't like trolls, you browse at +2.
I would reply to you, but I missed your comment, as I browse at +2 and you're still at +1.
You might think that Segway sucks. But do they suck because they didn't have more openess during thier product development phase? I don't think that is really the fundamental problem with the Segway. I think if they had more openess during that time period then, most people wouldn't even have paid much attention to them. As it stands, we have all heard of them at least. Most people just might not like how they have implemented their product, or their price point or whatever. Personally, having ridden the Segway, I think it was a lot of fun. I'd like to have one, but they are too expensive.
My point isn't that the company is a great company. My point is that their publicity stunt could have worked, if only they had a product to back it up. If, for example, the Segway had been something as cool as the iPod was when it came out, then, it things might have been different...
So let me get this straight... You're in support of marketing plans that don't reflect the reality of the product? You do realize this is Slashdot, right? Try marketingweasels.com instead...
What about the Segway? They made a big publicity stunt out of being secrative. In some cases, how much information, and the timing of the information that you reveal about a new product is important for marketing purposes.
But yet... (wait for it)... They suck. Next example?

You can make a rootkit for any OS, even a minimal microkernel, unless your OS runs out of ROM or there's similiar hardware level measures in place.
That's it, I'm breaking out my Commodore 64!

That wise man was Bruce Schneier. Check out his book for a very readable yet detailed overview of crypto...

Yes, but karma, like most of the posts, is inherently worthless. Kinda like this post!
