It's very difficult these days to not violate federal criminal statute in one way or another, doubly so for someone who works for the government in a high security environment. The fact that most people never get prosecuted for these crimes

It's not actually illegal to sell an exploit in most municipalities. You can be potentially charged with conspiracy if it applies in the case.

This seems like a pretty bad strategy to sell nosql etc. What are we supposed to believe, that every ATM downloads account numbers, pin hashes and balances for every account in their network? Banks have chosen consistency over availability

I'm sure that's why half the people involved, including the external auditor are only speaking on the matter through their attorneys.

In the end, the idea that Jody lacked a basic understanding of margins after years of being a retailer clearly doesn't make sense. Nobody sells goods for lower than their cost of acquisition without being aware. It's too bad tech journalism

Hey, glad to hear from a like minded soul. It's true they'd likely make quite good ipkvms as long as you're OK with having CVE's pop on your ipkvm gear. I guess they probably already do. I think even just embracing it as an ipkvm++ opens up

Thanks for the tip! I really appreciate the response. While they're probably not the spot, I'm pretty sure it's a way batter place to ask the same question. Cheers,

intrusion teams that are willing to talk up their hijinks to the press are almost always going down. 30 years worth of busts have left an undeniable pattern - if you mock the investigators, get in the papers more than once, and you're in a

Using compression with zfs on solaris derived platforms serving as a san/nas backend for vsphere appears to speed up every workload backed on rotating storage. Well, not if vmdks use guest full disk encryption, but that's understandable.

Based on there being no charges filed in the US related to Operation Payback even though the FBI served 50+ search warrants I think the DOJ's opinion is that it's not illegal.

I don't have any inside information, but I would guess it's because their san is so sketchy everyone rolls their own DFS and uses other chatty replication strategies, leaving the network running data and disk on the same topology. These day

Because we'd be talking about something closer to ipv4+1, something that allowed core equipment to not have to process packets in a different way and maintain completely separate routing tables for granularity of traffic that only matters a

IPv6 demonstrates a real flaw in the IETF. It has little ability to throw away a standard that suffers from flaws that aren't of a technical nature and start over. It's been clear for a long time that IPv6 was suffering from huge adoption b

It's primarily due to router discovery and automatic address assignment combining with stacks built to prefer 6 if available making it trivial to hijack/reroute/mitm your traffic. It's a significant concern on local networks that haven't in

I agree that most of your requirements seem to have a lot in common with project planning tools that are commonly used to plan and manage software development with traditional methodologies. Microsoft project is the classic example, though

For what it's worth that's two seconds between when one signal was unexpectedly cut, detected, shifted to the other, windows scaled up for a mulimedia stream and the app buffered enough to decide to start playing audio again. Something cons

Obviously undetectable isn't true, but i'd guess that kbeast is likely to go undetected in all but the most prepared operations. Forensics shouldn't count since you already know you're fucked by then.

It looks like you can do that with a proxy approach, there are active ietf drafts concerning proxies: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hampel-mptcp-proxies-anchor... Encapsulating tcp/udp inside it probably doesn't work very due to confli
