If the tool fails for some reason, couldn't an overly eager agent attempt to fix what's blocking it by digging into the tool (e.g. attaching a debugger or reading memory)? I think …

5GHz certainly helps, but congestion/co-channel interference can still be an issue in high density environments, especially in a multi-user environment like an apartment complex wh…

The paper's claim for Dijkstra's is it's "a single algorithm performs as well as possible for every single graph topology". A* is an augmented version of Dijkstra's only applicable…

802.1x allows for the client to validate the authentication server by way of X.509 certificates, although this normally does require manual configuration since there is no global n…

As of TLS 1.3, the ClientHello (which includes the Server Name Identification (SNI) extension) is still sent in plaintext. There is a current draft for encrypted client hellos[0], …

I believe section 7 of RFC 9000 would allow for the creation of a handshake protocol which could conform to SSH without the need for including x509.

It is every bit as bad. QUIC streams could map nicely to the SSH model of discrete channels. Sure, you can run it over tcp/443 and have it look like a normal TLS connection to anyt…

You mirror Z-Library but don't support TLS on any of your sites. This seems like an odd choice. What is your threat model?

Regarding the collision attack replacement check, do you know if that is carried over into other git implementations (e.g. libgit2)?

I have found brave to be a decent chromium-based browser for android if the only addon needed is for ad blocking. It has a bottom toolbar provides a similar experience to the firef…

What were the PRN and AUX files used for?

In recent versions of (maybe only GNU?) `tar` you can leave off the `z` flag and it will still decompress based on the filename.

A quick look at the source shows that it appears to be linear and just uses `strings.Contains` or `r.MatchString` on each line, so I don't think it has any of the optimizations tha…

The two 'true' statements show that 12345678910111211 == 12345678910111212 transitively, which is obviously not possible.

For what purpose exactly? Surely you don't have multiple developers writing code with one cursor.

With TLS, the symmetric encryption keys are always newly generated regardless of the cipher suite chosen; the difference with the ephemeral cipher suites is how the keys are commun…

The threat for http to https transactions is that man in the middle can rewrite, drop, or add data before the user reaches the https site. See sslstrip[0] for an example of this at…

I was a bit surprised to see that it wasn't published on April 1 and got renewed multiple times. Some parts of it are laughable such as IPv10 support on "all" Internet connected ho…

IPv10[0] makes IPv4 an extension of the IPv6 space. It'll be interesting to see if this takes off, but it doesn't really seem to solve the whole problem. All nodes in the path woul…

It's a good recommended that you don't use them. https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/c/PRE00...

A good dual-stack implementation should also support Happy Eyeballs which does not result in simpler code.
