Amen. All these people who parrot, "Don't roll you own crypto" need to get out of the math/programming kitchen and go get a crypto burger from some national fast food joint. My advice would be don't roll your own

Often times, the hack is through a web front-end. Back-end systems (such as DBs) are heavily firewalled, logged, monitored, etc. and are generally very well protected. Systems guys (OS and DB) know security pretty well and have been doing i

We use SHA1_Pass. It does not store password data. It generates passwords as needed. The info required to generate the passwords is stored on our internal wiki. The secret sentence is only in our heads and never stored or written down an

Very inspiring. I have no interest in start-ups and that sort of thing, but I do admire your intestinal fortitude. You hung in there and did it. And really that's all life is about.

This is the same reason I re-wrote a lot of my Python code in C++ many years ago. Distributing one self-contained, statically linked executable just works and even the most clueless user can download and run it. But I still use a lot of P

Very well said. There is no one perfect programming language, no one perfect algorithm and no one perfect data structure for all problems and constraints you will face as a CS practitioner. Really, a CS education is just preparing you to pi

Great read. This sentence sums it up best I think, "Why, why, why would people expect to get great results if they flaunt all the best-practices that have developed over the past 20 years?"

The world is all about trivialities today and escapism (let's not face reality). Especially in the West. Young men and women (in general) don't really mature until their mid 30s and some never do. We have an entire generation of p

Law Enforcement is a very tight knit community. They trust each other and that trust builds over the years. They are almost like a family. And apparently, this is their go to guy for gang codes.

Security through obscurity is useless. I have heard people repeat this for the last 20 years. They are wrong and they have no idea what they are talking about. They just parrot what others say. Like chaos it perpetuates itself. We camouflag

The way I read the standard, the string 'soccer1' is a valid/compliant PCI password. At least it for PCI-DSS v2. 8.5.10 Require a minimum password length of at least seven characters. 8.5.11 Use passwords containing both nume

False positives are the life of security. Microsoft Updates (update.microsoft.com) was just blacklisted by malwaredomains this week. It happens. Algorithms are not humans.

Some words should be universal... like shark. But I don't think start-up falls into that category.

Any sane person would be afraid of them. Lay in this tunnel. You're immobilized and can't move. Oh and no one can hear you call for help because of the loud jack-hammer like sounds. Wear these head-phones and we'll blast musi

Microsoft turned Windows 95 into a full-fledged multi-user operating system. Segmented user space? Unix had done that for years. All users where admin and it was horrible, but lot's of apps ran on it, so people bought it and used it. T
