  1. title wrong on Google Let Root Certificate For Gmail Expire · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Google Internet Authority G2" is NOT a root certificate (subject != issuer).

  2. Re:Wget on Dangerous Vulnerability Fixed In Wget · · Score: 1

    There's actually a tiny implementation of wget for Windows that I've been using for that type of thing precisely ;) It's called nugget, doesn't have all the bells and whistles of wget but still has some pretty interesting and unique features. Don't have the URL at hand, though.

  3. Generation 2.0 cryptocoins on The Future of Cryptocurrencies · · Score: 1

    Especially interesting is 2nd generation coins such as Counterparty, Mastercoin and the like, building new services on top of the existing Bitcoin blockchain. Great overview in this post: http://www.ofnumbers.com/2014/...

    How exactly is this a failed experiment?

  6. show me the way! on Google Ups Bug Bounty To $20,000 · · Score: 1

    I guess the question now is, for most of us, how do you become a good security researcher? Seriously, are there any specific tools, trainings, tutorials, non-blackhat methods available?

  7. what about those companies on US Charges English Twins Over $1.2m 'Stock Robot' Fraud · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the companies that paid them to get featured in their app be charged as well?

    Both of your questions (and more) are answered there.

    Good news, but I would have been happier if the article or submitter also mentioned the actual URL of the site...

    Are you aware of the excellent StumbleUpon extension?

  15. Intermix Stock impacted on Spitzer Sues Intermix Media for Bundling Spyware · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Seems like Intermix's stock took a hard hit due to this news today.

  16. Re:Would it even be worth it? on MSN Search Engine Favors IIS · · Score: 1

    You know, IE too once had only 2% of the market...

    And so does IE...

  18. Re:I still prefer the suite on Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite 1.7 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I also prefer the theme of the suite browser. IMO, the next best thing is the FirefoxModern theme.

  19. Re:How to have your cake and eat it too on Ready or Not, Here Comes Service Pack 2 · · Score: 2, Informative
    And here's how to easily achieve these 4 points, using only clean and free software:
    1. Get and run "StopListening"
    2. Install Firefox
    3. Install Media Player Classic
    4. Install Thunderbird

      After that, the whole windows-update thingy becomes mostly irrelevant.

  22. Re:Win2K is just as bad. on How Much Harm Can One Web Site Do? · · Score: 1

    Agreed that there's not much info on the web page. The first time I ran it was inside a VMware virtual machine, monitoring all actions with Filemon and Regmon. I haven't found anything unusual/suspicious. No files touched, just some reg hacks apparently. But after rebooting all the usual 'bad' ports (135, 138, 139, 445, 5000, etc) were indeed closed. BTW I found out about it on BetaNews.

  23. Re:Win2K is just as bad. on How Much Harm Can One Web Site Do? · · Score: 1

    What do you mean, you killed all services? This doesn't make sense, as some are critical components of the OS. Next time you build a machine, run this tool before connecting it to the net. That's what I always do and I never caught a worm on any of the Windows machines I administer. Presto!

  25. Re:Why I don't have to be vigilant on Using Layered Defenses to Stop Internet Worms · · Score: 1
    A good example of an additional security layer for Windows is using a 'hardening' tool, such as:

    http://stoplistening.com/

    or

    http://www.firewallleaktester.com/wwdc.htm

    These disable certain Windows protocols / services to ensure no worms can attack the system by exploiting known or unknown security holes in those components.
