This reminds me of the science fiction novel The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi. From the Amazon description: "In the near future, the Colorado River has dwindled to a trickle. De…

Oh wow, thanks Keith, first of all for mosh! I've been using it daily for several years now. It's been great! Second of all for clarifying and correcting me regarding the algorithm…

Sure. But that's why my point was about mosh ( https://mosh.org/ ). It just uses TCP+SSH for the authentication part and then it sets up an encrypted UDP-tunnel on the server-side …

That work is great. A related paper on earlier work where traffic analysis on skype was being done and where the researchers were able to extract individual phonemes and then recon…

Man, this paper is a classic. I love traffic analysis attacks like this. I did something myself six years back albeit with a somewhat contrived example figuring out what someone is…

No-one said anything about the president or the NSA being involved. There are tons of ways this can work. And it actually happens. Just once you're flagged and are inside The Machi…

I've done some security contracting work for the folks in Walldorf over the years; I've seen first-hand some SAP FTE's getting insanely frustrated putting in their expenses in thei…

It's not about how stupid Americans are but the insane vilification of anything that reeks like socialism. You (*see edit below) live in the richest country on the planet which is …

OP / author of the tool here too. Feel free to come up with any questions or suggestions regarding this. The tool has already proved its worth for me personally but I'm always open…

I've been a personal paying user of Fastmail for over 5 years now. It's been great. For my own company and for another business I started late last year I've also selected Fastmail…

So I've been in the position, a few years back, where I spent months doing comprehensive code reviews of these energy distribution management systems and what not more. It's all su…

Yep, people can infer a lot. I did a demo of this a couple of years ago for my employer at the time by creating a tool which, in a slightly contrived scenario, is able to figure ou…

Here's one that is maybe more concrete. And I hope I'm understanding everything correctly. Say you're a startup running your infrastructure in AWS. You spread it out over three dif…

Yep and they change things around every once in a while too. I RE'd dropbox several times using several different techniques. I just checked my old tarball containing a script whic…
