Your point? The multiple declaration syntax which is being discussed here uses comma separators , not operators.

Comment #12051652
Maybe you don't understand it that well because the described usage of a comma is not a comma operator (or any kind of operator).

You wrote a program that rigs the input data in favor of one class in such a way that the classifier results are more or less uncorrelated with membership in that class. Am I under…

Some systems will scan the email content and try to guess the password; if they can't, they'll block the attachment.

But for such a user the choice is not third-party AV or nothing - Windows comes with AV software - so the true benefit of an AV product is only in how much better it is than the in…

The more a person wants to do a job, the less compensation they will demand because the emotional satisfaction they get substitutes for a part (or sometimes all) of the compensatio…

It is a strawman. Your quotes don't say what the author wrote: "the less someone knows about a subject, the more they think they know". And again later: "In two of the four cases, …

It's not a bug by definition of what contracts are. A contract can't have a bug because the implementation IS the specification. That is the whole point of the system . Even the DA…

Are you sure the compression rate will be higher than what humans have experienced previously? We've had steam power, electricity, computers (and I probably forgot something). Thos…

There is nothing magical about a "connection". It is not some kind of secure tunnel. There are only packets. The attacker can take part in the accepted connection that the legitima…

There is no need for a subsequent connection. It is irrelevant whether the legitimate client connects or the attacker does if the attacker is sniffing traffic. This is just how IP …

You don't need to be able to do a full MITM attack. You just need to be able to read the traffic, not modify it. And if you believe this is an unreasonable assumption, why did you …

I don't understand what you mean. How would you prevent the attacker from knowing the port, except by only sending the port knock, and then never actually connecting? Let's say the…

Comment #11862600
Entirely possible, as I said this is the first time I read about this, so the port knocking I refer to is the kind described, which is using a sequence of ports as a key. I don't k…

I can copy your knock and get access, I can deny you service by messing up your knocks by sending packets with a fake IP, it is also insanely inefficient in the amount of data and …

Could you explain why single-packet authorization is cosmetic? This is the first time I've read about these, and while port knocking is clearly broken in multiple ways, I don't imm…

Regarding the first, I think they basically do this to test how "programming smart" someone is. Like my boss tells me when I interview, "determine potential". However, I agree that…

You dismiss this as "esoteric", but that's the whole point, the purpose of a puzzle like this is for you to be unable to map it to something you've done previously or to something …
