A techie would understand if the mailserver were suddenly starting to make base 64 encoded TXT DNS requests to a server in Taiwan or if there was an unusual high number of HTTP requests leaving the network that resulted in a 503 or 302 response.
A Techie would understand how to exploit the kerberos ticket system and how to look for signs of, and reduce, such abuse on the network.
A techie would also more likely understand what anomalies could be a sign of a breach and what was more likely a software error.
Yes but "that" dumb people aren't allowed to work in a environment that requires complete network seperation.
Usually when you have things as network separation you also have 802.1x (and a lot of other things) and doing any monkey business with security will get you fired really quickly (and for a good reason).
There, fixed that for you. Bricked is permanent. Non-permanent "bricking" isn't bricking at all. If you can revive it, it was never bricked in the first place.
"I pushed the gas pedal to pass a car and it did something kind of funny," Sikes told reporters. "It jumped and it just stuck there. As it was going, I was trying the brakes... It wasn't stopping."
California Highway Patrol spokesman Brian Pennings said police have no reason to doubt Sikes' account, based on officers' own observations and evidence of heavy brake use.
Think of the question in terms of evolution: As some point in history an animal that was not chicken, laid an egg that a chicken hatched from.
Of course the answer to the question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg" must be "the egg" if the question only implies eggs in general, since the animal that chickens evolved from most certainly laid eggs.
If the question implies "Chicken eggs", it all depends on what you mean by "chicken egg", is a chicken egg "an egg that was laid by a chicken" or "a egg that a chicken hatches from".
If it is the former, then the big answer is "The chicken", if it is the latter, the answer is "the egg".
Please, folks, try to think a little, when you are looking for a criminal in a old case and matching anyone you find to over a million people if a database, you are effectively matching any - any.. and the birthday paradox kicks in..
I think the poster was making a reference to that t will be much more likely that people will track down and kill those they think treated them badly online.
It will happen, trust me, you stupid little fat gay smelly ugly newbe Orc !!
A normal guy wouldn't rate a woman 0-10 in his head, but rather a "yes" or a "no",
Also. this "experiment" while interesting doesn't count for men getting horny, looking at pictures of naked women makes us horny, after a while our "reptilian brain" takes over and almost everything looks attractive.
It would be interesting to measure that in the data... How after 5-8 clicks, every fat blob gets increased sex appeal.
The Climate "Sceptics" will refuse global warming even when the Earth is burnt to a crisp. Denial is a powerful thing, and need a bit more than diplomacy to break through.
It's called "motivated reasoning" when you are emotionally attached to a believe.
Powerful stuff! As you absolutely cannot talk people out of an emotional state!
You would think that given the gravity of their findings, the seriousness they attribute to the situation, the huge nature of the changes they propose, the affect the actions will have on everyone, the potential devastation to the world economy, etc. etc., that they would have bothered to fucking hire a few professional statisticians . Shoddy and careless is what this is.
At which point prices will have to drop significantly because you're no longer selling a game; you're selling a subscription to a game
If you think you are buying something more than the "right to play until the seller decides otherwise" when you are sadly mistaken and you need to read the EULA.
There is no text anywhere quiting Google spokespeople saying Google would bring this to the iPhone ???
I think people are getting way ahead of them selves here thinking Google has some obligation to do this or else "be considered Evil".
Think about it this way: You have a store and when people with kids come and buy stuff from you, you give the kid a baloon. Do you think you would have any obligation to do the same thing for your competitors ?
Before the financial crash in Iceland there was only one investigative journalism program in the media called "Kompás" (Icelandic for "Compass")
Of course, after the banks crashed, they started digging and produced a program about the events that led to the crash.
Unfortunately, when the episode was ready, but just before it aired, the media company controlled by "Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson", decided to cancel the Program because of "Financial reasons", even though this was one of the most popular programs in Iceland.
The episode on the events leading up to the bank crash, made by Iceland's best known investigative journalists, has still not been aired.
That's very likely true, as the stupidity of the user remains the weakest factor in security.
While that may be true, that is the right answer to a different question.
The original Question was: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the governments of France and Germany about security risks of using Internet Explorer; and whether they will encourage public sector users to use another web browser. [HL1420]
The problem Google and others had was that they were not using "the latest and fully patched version of IE", but instead outdated but fully supported version from Microsoft, full of security holes. Even the UK governmaneprobably isn't using the "lastest and fully patched version of IE"
Also, MIcrosoft has a 6 months check cycle for patches, that simply doesn't correspond to today's security landscape where both criminal organisations and state governments have people on payroll searching for vulnerabilities to turn into money or somehthing more valuable, as soon as they are found.
I mean, in a country where the average Joe gets in big trouble for telling the wrong joke at a airport you would have thought this to be a more serious crime ?!?
This marks an end of an era ! Up until now investigators could be pretty comfortable assuming that their forensics analysis were giving off accurate data about the use and activity of the computer. Tools to analyse file, network and disk access are based on the assumption that the metadata has not been tampered with.
It is enough that you download and run this program every now and then to render every analysis of your computer pretty meaningless as evidence. Soon someone will write a open source program that runs as a service to ticker with your metadata just a little bit every other day or so, and that will set back forensics analysis quite a few years, and make everything so much harder.

This is probably why OISF is taking a dump on Snort, it's a trick to get attention to their soon-to-be-commercial product !!

They newer said that you can revive it.
A chicken is still a chicken even if you don't know where it came from (test tube) or lays no eggs.

This really is a no-brainer!
Look it up, DNA testing this way is putting innocent people in jail.

The EU has already imposed a standard that manufcturers have to adapt to if they want to sel their Warez in Europe..
It's not the religion that Scientists attack, but those who abuse it, This actually happened in 2009

Two words: No money!
Oh, the rest of the Bush Administration should have listened to Powell.
Or the French, or the Germans, or Hans Blix (Chief UN Weapons Inspector), or pretty much anyone with a clue ...
Instead of trying to discredit everyone that spoke out against the invasion.

"working with Apple on bringing it to the iPhone" only means they are talking .. possibly putting each ones claims and requirements on the table.

Reading the link below, you will realise that china state hackers
1) have dedicated datacenters for them
2) Work around the clock in 3 shifts during each 24 hours
3) Have specialised teams for things like a) Break in b) Data stealing c) Footprinting
