Consider it a 'cost of doing business'. Everyone gets DDoSed, I'm pretty sure that's one of CloudFronts primary service-based solutions

You'll also have to prove the IOT device DDoSing from my IP isn't a rogue device. I swear it's not mine.

Can't wait to tell Gran she's legally liable for a DDoS because her unsecured IOT washing machine best buy sold her caused the internet to cave in ;)

I found that really informal comments cut less deep 'hey man this needs double checking, read up on $x and then reconsider this block' (gender aside) is far better received than 'T…

I see you're new to Australian media reporting standards, or lack thereof =)

I still don't understand why services don't attempt to bundle more. All my media is pirated, which conveniently ends up in a single app. I'd probably consider a $10-15/AUD streamin…

Yes, but is the content the same content that Janet keeps raving about (and plot-spoiling) by the water cooler?

I'll also point out that defending against buffer overflows which are considered vulnerabilities is a far saner boundary than a blacklist of files which grows infinitely.

Or we could, you know, just stop using Microsoft Office and Adobe products which are a huge, if not the biggest culprit of that kind of crazy behaviour.

There's lots of 'Do we need Kaspersky' type questions in here already. The more pertinent question is whether AV is actually effective, or if stronger countermeasures like applicat…

I really like mac keybindings. However, I really dislike how if I click what is traditionally the maximize button, it doesn't maximize both horizontally and vertically. I also real…

As soon as people stop treating the physical layer as a security control, the better. Encrypt your damn comms.

And if you do manage, it's granting the ability to intercept/modify traffic, right? If so, this won't lead to RCE on a host mobile unless other exploits are used. There's probably …

That's for unencrypted credentials captured going across the wire by the ops team. That's to highlight insecure comms not hack people. There was an instance where someone used a wi…

This isn't even a service request, it's a bug report. Are you able to name a reputable email provider which isn't >$60/year or self-managed? My 65 year old mother probably wouldn't…

> I wouldn't expect any free service that involves a paid employee from any service I don't pay for (with money, not privacy). I expected at least one response suggesting this. I, …

> Problem is, that you might want Wayland support, as X is on the way out. I vaguely remember someone saying something similar about IPv6 once.

For those looking for obscure-but-useful, checkout xdotool. `sleep 2; xdotool type "foo"` is super handy for typing passwords into virtual machines which don't support guest additi…

I helped my mother reformat her computer remotely. We successfully ported her mail client but managed to lose her gmail password - meaning we had enough access to send/receive emai…

Pokerstars who suspect accounts are bots actually require the player to film 360 degrees around themselves, then play for an hour with a camera focusing on input devices and the sc…

At the nosebleeds, poker hasn't been around those things in a long time. Poker is about exploitative play against people who base their play off emotions, and unperfect game theory…

No, it's to mask actions. If you bet big with monsters and check with air 100% of the time, you opponent knows when to fold and bet. iirc, the frequency of bets in that spot is rou…
