I've heard that people with hyperhydrosis have a lot of trouble with biometrics devices as well as smart phones. If your skin is too moist it just kinda gums up the works.

I think you're being a bit over-dramatic with the "wretched hive of scum and villany" stuff. The commonality of this sort of behavior varies from forum to forum, depending on the mood of that forum. For instance, this sort of

What if you crafted a program that mimicked the functionality of an ntp server, and but it had a built in memory of what times have been given out to network clients? Couldn't you in theory send a series of NTP answers that quickly ste

Yes. Both NTP and DNS operate over UDP. UDP is a connectionless protocol, which means no connection handshake needs to be made in order for a data to be delivered to a target IP address. What generally happens is, one attacker will send man

hostname -i on cb.vu says the IP address is 78.31.70.238, but if you ping a host from the interface, the pings originate from 178.33.34.4 (according to tcpdump).

The CVS in my neighborhood sells 24oz cans of 8.1% ABV malt liquor for $1.36/can. Have to wonder how those sales fit into their mission to improve public health.

Maybe. The IP address that is referenced in the subpoena (12.218.239.38) is the IP address of cookcountyboardofreview.com. Maybe that box got hacked and it had access to some big cook county DMZ?

To play devil's advocate, maybe they were only going to adjust the routing behavior of a certain netblock? Still very out-of-bounds if you ask me.

Depends on the cost, and the hardware & software components that are used. I currently run debian jessie on both my desktop (home-build), and on my cheap hp laptop that I bought a few years ago. I won't buy a new apple computer sim

In my opinion, the NTP reflection attacks are a result of a larger problem on the internet - large payloads being delivered without any sort of connection handshake. While it is easy to blame open ntp servers, dns resolvers, and snmp server
