    I could not agree with you more had I said those words myself. A year ago I had a great job as a sysadmin, then I got laid off. Shit happens. I got a job doing landscaping for $10 …

    Ask HN: Who would hire someone with a misdemeanor hacking conviction?

    Without going into details, I recently got off probation after being charged with a federal misdemeanor for accessing a computer and obtaining information. The damages were minimal…

    EDIT: Ignore that. I figured a slide show would not skip slides when you use arrow keys for navigation. Can I get a direct quote? I'm not seeing any mention of TC on p15 or any oth…

    As I read his comment I was going to write basically what you did, but I thought "No. No, that is too nerdy." So thank you =D Relevant: I do wonder though if the disorientation wou…

    I have to ask: Does your naming company have a name?

    I'm working on a perl script that will serve as a migration assistant from WhatsUp Gold v8 to Nagios v3. My company has 1,300+ hosts and 2,500+ services, all in various groups and …

    I'm a sub-par C programmer and the comments definitely helped me out. Instead of assuming the reader knows what each function does, they are explained in enough detail that the ave…

    I see what you're getting at, but I think you're being a bit douchey about it. Of course blind people do not have a "right" to access his content. Neither does anyone else. There i…

    I would assume this would be standard forensics. Might not be tools for their particular file format, but it would be possible to carve the data.

    As a sub-novice C/++ programmer myself, it's awesome to see a program like this being discussed. The source code is relatively short, it's a simple enough implementation, and all t…

    This is terrible. Music should stimulate the mind, not dull it. Creepy little men "singing" is not going to make me more focused, but a nice piece of Baroque will certainly do the …

    Because like the rest of human history, the most interesting details come to light long after everything has been said and done.

    That could end up going south quickly. Scenario: randomly browse to 4chan randomly click on link randomly have FBI raid your house a few weeks later I like the concept, but it's no…

    I think the purpose is to show how easily some of these scare tactics can be defeated. This took what, 40 minutes to get posted? Less than an hour to thwart what is being hyped up …

    That was honestly my first thought when I read about this. I could see Mehran playing this in his spare time. It would be a pretty great end-of-semester project too, having a compe…

    $1,000 says this will be featured in a heist movie in the next year. This is exactly the kind of tech I used to scoff at when the uber-skilled hacker pulls up a 3D map of the targe…

    You can do SQLi against your own database 24x7 and you'd be just fine in the eyes of the law.

    I don't think this is irresponsible, exactly. Mischievous, yes, but there's not a ton of damage being done and it's something we can laugh at and say "Hey, that was pretty good."

    Ask HN: Just how many hackers are there?

    I often think while driving "How many hackers are there within a mile of me?" Obviously this number is higher when in a metro area as opposed to rural, but that's about all I can g…

    This is the closest to what I intend to do. I wanna display interest without making it obvious that I am gonna push for the best offer from both parties.

    I was thinking that, but a small part of me feels like that would come across poorly. I mean I know I am supposed to be looking for the best that is available to me, but I don't wa…

    That's what I was thinking, but it just occurred to me that perhaps the position hadn't been created yet. I mean yea, they still could have said something, but if I had been given …

    Got one job offer, took it, then got another. Etiquette?

    So three months ago I was recommended by my instructor for a pentester position. He said that once the class was over (a week from then) he could officially vouch for me, since it'…

    Export as PDF option might be a bit sketchy. You can inject whatever you want into the URL and it'll end up in the PDF. Not sure if it's sanitized (I am not familiar with the PDF f…
