while the NX bit can help prevent the execution of malicious code on the stack after a buffer overflow, it doesn't solve the security problem posed by overflows. return-into-libc attacks can easily be executed and will become much more prevelant as NX-enabled PCs filter into the mainstream. address space randomization can help make rilc attacks harder on 64-bit architectures but is pretty useless on 32-bit archs.
considering the amount of security work (dsniff, honeyd, steneography) done at umich by people such as song, honeyman, and provos, its pathetic that this coming winter semester is the first semester a security-focused class will be offered.
But the scarab-like shell can take five to seven direct hits from a machine gun, and it doubles as a holster for ammunition and grenades
i feel like storing grenades on your bulletproof vest is a bad idea. sure the vest can stop a bullet but when that bullet sets off the grenade, you're in trouble.
freshman year of college in our dorm, my roommate and i were testing a web-spidering program. we let it run overnite once and apparently it ran amok and the next morning our internet had been shut off.
our genius university of course sends internet termination letters via email. we found out it had been cancelled due to the fact that our computers were supposively infected with the code red or blaster worms.
we attempted to explain that we were both running linux and the spidering program was the cause of the excessive traffic but the IT department refused to enable our connection until we provided them with a full system virus scan log using the university's supplied mcafee.
at that point we gave up trying to explain. we just installed a fresh 98se installation on another partition, booted into it, installed mcafee, scanned our system, and emailed them the log file.
from the bear page: From a standing start, a grizzly can run 100 metres over rough terrain in just over 6 seconds.
from the suit page: Trigger finger-activated "blaster can" on right arm, capable of spraying a 38 centimetre (15 in.) diameter cone of bear repellant for a distance of 4.6 metres (15 ft.), for a duration of 7 seconds.
so in other words, i better be able to run in my 150 pound suit 100 meters over rough terrain to safety within 7 seconds or i'm dinner...
seeing the microsoft security ad (http://m2.doubleclick.net/viewad/930640/MRS03141_ ityouwe_728x90_anima.gif) at the top of the page while reading this article was just too much...
finally an affordable way to use SSL certificates on our sites without "unsigned certificate" warnings or having to pay Verisign $895/year for each certificate!
just a friendly reminder to toss some extra change towards the EFF...thanks to them alex and others are able to stand up against this sort of corporate legal pressure.
i just got word that my ex-school district is purchasing PDAs for every student enrolled in middle school and high school. when i was in 6th grade, i could barely keep track of my lunch money, nonetheless a PDA. id hate to see the rate of these things get broken/stolen/lost.
in addition, the IT admins for our 2000+ high school didnt know what puTTY was and kept removing it from my personal storage folder out of fear of what it was. not to mention they stored their win2k domain password as one of the usernames (in the format "adminPASSWORD") in case they happened to forget it somehow.
on the bright side, if im ever desparate for a job, i know one place i can go for sure.:)
i highly doubt the playback will be synchronized. even when using RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) and a low-latency network, perfect synchronization is not easy...especially with a wireless network with less throughput/lower signal strength/more users.
as most users would most likely be listening with headphones on their mobile devices (unless u pack up your speakers and generator wherever you go), you would hear a much more consistant, however not synchronized, audio stream using tcp.

however the product page doesn't mention encryption, does this leave the product open to lawsuits by RIAA for transmitting the music where a neighbour could potentially snag it?

webspy is what you're looking for. urlsnarf can also be used to grab requested URLs but doesn't provide the fun "surfing-along" feature.
