In recent years p2p systems have caught the fancy of CS researchers. Gnutella always gave the feeling of being designed more by hackers than people with a sound theoretical base.
Has Gnutella2 taken cue from the recent research publications?
You don't try prevent auto theft by selecting different road material. But you don't *claim* that road material has theft-preventing features either.
The problem is that 802.11 includes RC4 encryption, but is broken in ways that makes it pretty trivial to break it (and I'm not talking about brute force attacks against the key... these are fairly straigtforward attacks)
Just what you need to give people the *illusion* of security and prevent them from deploying higher-layer security
"IPSec? we don't need no IPSec... we use 802.11... that provides us encryption"
no actually, I don't mean ECB. A packet is much larger than the block size in any block cipher, so you should chain blocks *within* a packet, thus keeping packets independent.
ECB wouldn't solve most of the problems (even though it is actually better than OFB in this case)
You're an idiot basically. I'll bet you never even read the paper I cited. I don't know why I even bother responding to your drivel, but still...
802.11 was designed to provide confidentialty, access control and data integrity. And the paper cited demonstrates that neither of the three are achieved (in very practical attacks... not something involving million-dollar machines)
802.11 has been shown [1] to be completely insecure... have these security issues been fixed?
From my reading of the paper, all that really needed to be done to fix most of the issues was to switch from OFB mode to CBC or CFB

If a launch isn't to send the ISS spiralling off into some eccentric orbit, or crashing into the earth, it would need to be much, much, much more massive than any rocket that blasts off it. It would make much more sense to have disposable fuel tanks put in orbit first, and then rendezvois with it.
This, btw was one of the five models initially considered when designing the lunar mission, and was called Earth-Orbit Rendezvous. It was scrapped in favour of Lunar-Orbit Rendezvous.
(Two other alternatives were Direct Ascent and Lunar Surface Rendezvous.... I forget the fifth)
Maybe the space shuttle isn't the ultimate vehicle, but I'm sure a billion-dollar a shot one-time use rocket isn't either.
I'm pretty certain the spacecraft of the future will look a lot closer to the space shuttle than to the Saturn V
1. How do you measure IQ in Kelvins? If you're suggesting that people's IQ here is room temperature as measured in Kelvins... thank you. Guess most of us (except you, of course) have IQs in the 300s
2. Its not about moving electrons, its about positioning them and keeping them there.
3. You can't measure area of swampland in miles. That would be suqare miles.
4. My penis is large enough, thank you.
5. I don't know how you did it, but you've just demonstrated a NEGATIVE IQ!!!!!
If you, proprietor of Acme Penis Enlargement, Inc. want to drive drive Infinite Toner Supply, Inc. out of business... all you need to do is find an untraceable fax number and send ads for Infinite Toner Supply, Inc from there!!!
They're going to remove bugs????

Maybe Hurd still isn't a full kernel because Linux has filled in the gap, and there's no longer sufficient community interest...
Anyhow, IMHO leaving the kernel for the end was a tactical blunder on the part of the FSF... whats the point of writing a free OS if you still need another OS to boot it???
Slashdot Mirror
I disagree... Kazaa works far better for me and for most people I know...
Ooooh I see where you are going with this!!!!
So when the get to G4 they're gonna put it into PowerMacs, right???
-100 lame joke!!!

Damn... u mean my 10 million dollar deal is not going thru?

Oh I'm sorry... did I forget to customize my post you your preferences????
oops... sorry. thought your post was a reply to my original post. Didn't see that other post

Who cares about last man on the moon when you can be first post on the topic.... first non AC at least
.... just aim the laser where you want to... if the target didn't start of within line-of-sight, it will soon end up that way :)
India used electonic voting machines in the last general elections in 1998... as well as the much publicised recent assembly elections in Kashmir

Because Microsoft will, in a nutshell, say "if you want your hardware to run Windows, it mustn't be able to run Lin^H^H^Huntrusted operating systems"

Isn't the whole idea to BUILD a bug????
If it hits a nice shiny polished target at just the right angle, will the JSF shoot itself down?
All they've done is to take data they legitimately obtained and do a query on Yale's systems...
Time to stop trying to be insightful or funny, looks like! Let the trolls lead the way!

Well.. I've already yelled what I had to....
