  9. Re:Let me see if I understand this on Cache On Delivery — Memcached Opens an Accidental Security Hole · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's open source, if you want to add a layer of protection, go away. For the rest of us, we are using memcached for maximum speed, no such thing in.

    Lets say you add a layer of protection to your memcache, it now requires a password to get in. The hacker is in your network, so he can sniff those packets. Where's your protection ? Ok, lets say you add in some crypto to prevent sniffing attack. He's in your network, on your computers, reading your files. He then parse your code and grab the password.

    So, what have you been able to achieve exactly ? Nothing beside slow downs everyone downs. People should just learn to use the tools at their disposal. And yes, you can kill yourself with a car. Should we lock them all down to 10mph ?

    For the parent, here's memcached help. Notice that even if it's ADRANY, you have it in your face should you be on an unsecure network. And besides, locking it to your ip won't prevent someone inside your network from getting the content.

  10. Re:Firewall? on Cache On Delivery — Memcached Opens an Accidental Security Hole · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ive been running memcached since it's out, even sent some patches in.

    The thing is, why aren't they running this on a private network ?? Memcached is designed to be fast AND non-secure, to be run on your local network. Running it on a server farm with thousands of people having access to your computers and ips is not a private network.

    I had heard about people running it on the local interface and still getting problems before (somebody else with the same computer ran it too and forgot to pick the good port and finally used the same key ...) but that's because IT'S NOT BUILT TO BE USED ON AN UNSECURED NETWORK.

    Nothing new, bad admins get bad things done to them, move along.

  11. Re:Frightening indeed! on Child Porn As a Weapon · · Score: 1

    What's worst is that it's totally possible that the guru had to perform maintenance duty on his superior computer and really found out the pictures there, and reported him anonymously.

    But, because of the anonimisity, he's automatically found guilty.

    When in high school, 12-15 years ago, some friends and I were discussing about planting kid porn on the director computer and report him. What if they found some kid porn on it, or that without even planting it we found some and wanted to report him ?

    That's a really dangerous area..

    Considering that 3G allows usually something in the range of 5.2Mbps, that gives ~ 0.58MB per second effective throughput that you could record, or a total of 50 GB per day.

    Tether a computer, download all of your favorites movies or whatever, and 1.5TB can be yours in the month, which is quite a lot more than the '''so big''' 65GB per month that they advertised for their top 1/1000. Now, if they were to look at the top 1/10000, I wonder what it would be like :)
