    Perhaps it is possible to create such an environment using http://nufw.org/


    NuFW performs an authentication of every single connection passing through the IP filter, by transparently requesting user's credentials before any filtering decision is taken. Practically, this means security policies can integrate with the users directory, and bring the notion of user ID down to the IP layers.

  7. Re:Using Hashing on Fighting Terrorists Through Software, Anonymously? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Taken from whatis.com.

    Hashing is the transformation of a string of characters into a usually shorter fixed-length value or key that represents the original string.
    The hash function is used to index the original value or key and then used later each time the data associated with the value or key is to be retrieved. Thus, hashing is always a one-way operation. There's no need to "reverse engineer" the hash function by analyzing the hashed values. In fact, the ideal hash function can't be derived by such analysis.

  9. Re:shouldn't ATM machines be designed better? on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    You're right. I was thinking about devices like the one little John Connor used in Terminator 1 ;)
    The closing of the cardreader slot should make it more difficult attaching an extra cardreader though.
    Unless you extend the front of the entire ATM it will seem out of place fast.

  10. Re:shouldn't ATM machines be designed better? on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    Most of the ATM machines here in the Netherlands have protection against attaching devices to your card. The *thunk* you hear after inserting your card is some sort of lead knife thing that cuts the attached stuff off or so I've heard.
    I dont think it's actually a knife but it closes off the slot after inserting the card which seems like the start of a good safe guard to me.

  11. Google Wireless on Favorite Hidden Google Features? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I found out that google offers a wireless search engine. Just go to that URL with your mobile, enter your search query and google will convert any site it returns to WAP format that your mobile can handle.
