I don't believe it is that rational. It's an ideological assessment, not a risk assessment. If you agree with the people holding the guns, you feel safer with them. If you agree wi…

I think resolution would benefit from people being honest about their motives and less logical fallacies. It seems that your motive is much larger than this specific issue at hand …

I'm not sure how you are mistaking my want for transparency on where my money is going with a moral decision. Is every purchase a moral decision to you perhaps? It seems you are ve…

I'm not sure what you mean, takeout is typically 10% to 20% cheaper than the same food served to you at the table.

For every sophisticated business person there are four that need basic math and accounting explained to them. It's all too common to see them base their entire business around a si…

You know that reinforcing habit is not about this trivial example. You are arguing in bad faith. We've spent the last 20 years cleaning up after the shoddy work of this exact attit…

They are nearly equivalent in terms of functional security. Function isn't everything though. One example shows an awareness of the security issue and good habit being used despite…

Just for an example. How about debugging a non trivial issue between a program and a dynamically loaded library. You can't just scan the IAT/PLT. You are going to have to find load…

Required? No, but I didn't say impossible. I said "more difficult". Made easier by? Most everything ever loaded in a debugger.

So yes, you are correct it's being encrypted dynamically at the hardware level. You just debug in a system without these protections turned on then.

I agree. I'm not sure I understand your point though. This isn't contrary to anything I said. I mention unpacking which would be a pre-debugger process. I believe you are just bein…

You are conflating the act of debugging with the operation of a "debugger". Sure you can start at 0 and step forward one instruction at a time, but how often do you do that without…

This looks like it goes way beyond ASLR. There are a series of different protections they are doing. It's not clear if they intend them to be uniquely switchable or if they were ju…

The thing is, it's not really genre bashing. These "genres" mostly fit very comfortably into their parent category. Even to the point that if you treat it as a strict history of th…

I am kind of shocked at the conversation above simply because of how evidently right you are. Does she have an agenda? Yes clearly. She isn't hiding it. She has a long history of l…

A salt can't do it's job when it's reused. There are WPA rainbow tables for common ssid's available online. If your ssid is "Linksys" it takes only moments to look up a weak passwo…
