    I assumed it was asymmetric like pgp, but you're right they dont mention it anywhere. That is rather puzzling. wtf.

    I would say yes. Pop-unders should be blocked, and modern browsers work pretty hard to, but it is often viewed as a "low priority" sec issue, and so workarounds are found, ignored,…

    Check your internal IP as well, some models are only vulnerable on the LAN. Metasploit has a check module for this, and will also get you a shell: https://community.rapid7.com/comm…

    It depends what you mean by the term "associated browser security." The method they are describing stops CSRF attacks dead in their tracks (e.g. if dev set up a GET endpoint that s…

    Congrats, I have been waiting to see someone build something like this for a while. This is truly a glimpse into the future :) Edit: I should have vetted this a little harder befor…

    Not really anything useful in this article. To make fibonacci "non-blocking", you use process.nextTick callbacks to "interweave" the computations, just like real threads!

    It's a public wifi network that is broadcast from a device that is (probably) on your LAN. Attacker connects, finds some vulnerability, and has unrestricted access to the LAN. That…

    Hopefully liberty.lavabit.com uses a new uncompromised cert?

    The impression I got was that actual requests and responses are still made by the client.

    Sorry. I got bitter there at the end, it was uncalled for. I spent 3+ years as a PHP programmer, there's certainly nothing wrong with being a PHP programmer , but it's hard to argu…

    Unless you're actively thrashing through all 32GB (maybe you are), wouldn't installing a large SSD for swap space will help you out just as much?

    My first reaction was, oh wow looks just like the NeXT cube, that's kinda a cool tribute to Jobs. Then my second reaction was, oh man, it will sorta look like I have a trash bin on…
