From what we've been told, Greenwald has a giant cache of classified documents, and the people who actually know say this is the tip of the iceberg. I highly doubt he's shown all his cards yet, if only to milk this story as long a

So what if you use something like a Russian VPN or Tor? It seems like that would only be vulnerable to attacks based on exact connection times and to traffic volume analysis, both of which could be avoided by generating fake traffic.

"White middle/upper class" are statistically much less likely to be personally affected by these prison policies. Nothing about Weev's treatment is unusual; it's just that nobody cares when it happens to "normal criminals" who are dispropor

I believe the differentiation is that Skype routes calls p2p by default, so wiretapping them is hard. It may be possible for Skype to record calls, but only when it's routed through Supernodes - a mode usually reserved for when firewalls pr

It seems pretty clear that this guy was running a dime-a-dozen "buy a ddos" service and was caught by the FBI due to very lax security - like openly posting name/work/age/city. According to a post on webhostingtalk [1] on Dec 10 2013, he ma

Wifi authentication frames aren't encrypted, so you can craft bogus de-auth packets to disconnect clients. This has a lot of uses - you can DoS a client indefinitely, force them to reveal a hidden access point when reconnecting, or force th

I used to enjoy sleep deprivation. In hindsight, that was me self-treating depression.

I'd like to clarify that I am not personally offended by the quoted comment. I'm an atheist and know nobody who was affected in this way by the Holocaust/WW2. I also think it's in very bad taste to speculate on why someone chose specific co

I agree "hate group" is stronger wording than would be appropriate (at any rate I don't want to quibble over a definition of that term) but I personally dislike intolerance - and I avoid forums[1] where it is considered upvote-worthy rhetor

Oregon [Senator] Jeff Merkley said he voted no "because the citizens of Oregon have said nine times that we don’t want our families or small businesses burdened with sales taxes." "It’s a regressive tax. It’s an inefficient tax," he said. "

I'm curious how you would classify China's crack teams engaging in industrial espionage. Is that black hat activity, or legitimate cyberwarfare by a nation-state?

I definitely agree about the War on Drugs, and I think the disparity in who gets busted for it is explained in large part by just where police departments focus their efforts. In a rich neighborhood you can get away with stuff that would be

I'm guessing the only reason people don't spend a larger percentage of their income on rent is that most landlords require, as an absolute minimum, 3x rent as income per month. Speaking of which, that rule will probably force me to get a jo
