  2. I deal with this everyday on Chinese Hackers Steal Top US Weapons Designs · · Score: 2

    I have several clients that are architectural firms, and weekly there is a new chinese rootkit trying to get into the system. They bury themselves into AutoCAD files and steal all drawing and design data and send it back to China. It's such a headache.

  3. IT Consulting on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 1

    I always ask customers who want free services to work for free for a day. They act shocked and disgusted I would ask them to work for free. It doesn't take too long for them to make the connection. You don't work for free, and neither do I.

  5. Evernote+Fujitsu Scansnap on Ask Slashdot: How To Go Paperless At Home? · · Score: 1

    I've setup several home-businesses with Fujitsu Scan Snap to Evernote setups, they already work together, and the searchable PDF's are INVALUABLE.

  6. Been here, done it on Ask Slashdot: Getting a Grip On an Inherited IT Mess? · · Score: 1

    I started as the lone IT administrator for a large commercial insurance company. With almost no documentation, I had to use some RMM tools (Kaseya) and other audit software like Belarc Advisor, and network sniffers to completely figure out everything going on in the company. There were so many terrible band aids, I even had to bring on a few helping hands to help get it done, it took a year. They have 64-bit/32-bit compatibility issues, they had Windows 7 on machines that were trying to run a DOS/Novell shared resource. It was extremely difficult and frustrating, and the pay wasn't as good as easier positions I've been in. However, it was an amazing day when it got completely done.

    Billions and Billions of dollars spent looking for a cure or vaccine for AIDS so that people can go around fucking random strangers in the ass without protection and without having to worry.

    Babies who get HIV from breast milk are appalled at you sir, appalled. Infants. Appalled.

    I feel the same way, it's why I started my own IT consulting company. I can't fire myself for spending time reading CCNA material instead of fielding phone calls :)

    Yeah, when I was doing sysAdmin work I got paid very well, and I don't have a degree or any certs. It's a weird field.

    Ok So they didn't actually BREAK IN using the injection, but they got the credentials they needed TO break in, by USING the SQL injection.

    I just need to learn more I guess, I am kind of understanding the concept here. I just need to learn the subject. "Parse" etc

    Having a professor or tutor beats an encyclopedia any day for me. If I have a question for more granular or comprehensive help for aiding my understanding then a person is more appropriate for my request.

    OK that makes more sense now. I am sure I am oversimplifying it, but I assumed SQL Databases were like giant spreadsheets that contained columns like "Username" and were populated by forms and radio buttons. This makes me want to learn SQL.

    I promise I'm not trolling I just don't understand how accessing a file that's published TO BE accessed allows someone into your system.

    Ok I'm kind of getting it. I wish I knew more about Databases. I am a hardware/Network systems guy. As I understand it your adding your own information into a line of SQL. Umm...is it like when I was 13 and used to go through porn sites free tours and when they ended on "Freepic13.jpg" I changed it to freepic14.jpg and found the hidden images? Or am I missing the point about adding your own text to the SQL?
