Doesnt look like that comment came from nat? Username for that comment is naikrovek not natfriedman

Or Robert Seacord’s Effective C

Shame they didn’t include traffic to security.stackexchange.com . I would have thought that would show a more noticeable change. Also would be interesting to see what tags there sh…

Not really. They can be used to replace one element of the docker stack, runc

“Why bother posting this?” - that’s easy, because it might hit the front page of HN and someone from Google might see it and actually apply human reasoning to the problem. And then…

Fair play, it is getting late :)

For uk banking systems it is very likely that the passwords are stored symmetrically encrypted with the key stored in an HSM (based on my experience working as an IT security consu…

If you base off alpine, you can get useful containers quite a lot smaller than 100MB. One example i use is an agent i deploy to kubernetes clusters to do some security scanning. Th…

Have you tried pocket? I used to keep a load of bookmarks but the problem was that after a while many of the source urls would die off. So something like pocket is very handy as it…

Well there is, but it's not cheap. You get a trusted third party to Audit you and publish the result of their Audit, something similar to a SAS70. It's not a perfect solution but i…

The bear is more a favourite animal of the author

Gotta say I disagree with this. I'd say what it means Is recognize that DNS security is important and treat it as such. The reason I disagree is that if you use something like gmai…

Actually you are , AFAIK, incorrect there. Microsoft's consent decree from their antitrust trial expired in 2011/2012.

It's never a good sign for your argument when you have to resort to ad hominem attacks.... No real point I trying to respond if that's your track but remember this is just a discus…

Of course I can as it was my personal experience. On the other hand you made a general assertion about their actions which really needs a citation. Reinstalling an os is a technica…

So a company who doesn't have a monopoly should be restricted from changing their product because it didn't use to be that way.... Seems a bit harsh to me... if Microsoft still occ…

So your pc or fedora has a bug which prevents you changing os and it then follows that Microsoft have a monopoly power in PCs... Sorry I don't quite think that follows

I have bought and installed linux on laptops from hp and Lenovo with no problems at all. Also you can buy laptops from Dell with linux pre-installed. Can you provide any citations …

But surely they're not closing off the pc platform, just potentially restricting what can happen on their OS. You can still use PCs with linux without any lock in. Long gone are th…

Pentester: I'll use mass scan, someone else already solved this problem. https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan

My understanding is that most people would suggest that that only applies to the head of state (currently queen Elizabeth) But Prince Charles isn't the head of state... So assuming…

You don't think those protections should be in place for the 99% of users of these devices who have no idea what a firmware is, let alone would want to update them?

Its a shame to see the company react like this, but the author is taking a bit of a risk here. Finding sql injection requires active testing of the site which, without authority to…

The wiki is not uneditable. You should be able to create an account, then you can edit pretty much any page on the site..
