A: How to get top management support for security projects?

irfanYou need to educate the users. Write for example a prank "virus" and set it free on the PCs that do not use AV. When called in to help, keep asking what data they would have lost if it was a really virus and how much it would cost the company.

somehow I managed to visit xkcd literally a second before Randall published
literally a second
 
 
1 hour later…
6:10 AM
Such a lovely morning
 
6:30 AM
What the hell?! Why is there a starred message about the inside of my boyfriend?
 
7:24 AM
@Kisunminttu well that might be a question you'll need to ask of @Adnan :op
 
lol
 
8:06 AM
this is going to be a fun/boring day
doing DRP
I get to watch how other people work
fortunately I brought my trusty laptop
 
@LucasKauffman ok I'll bite, what's DRP?
 
yawn Morning.
@Kisunminttu Why are you surprised? This is the DMZ, where molesting @Adnan is a collective daily activity.

@RоryMcCune Disaster Recovery
Procedure
 
@FEichinger Wait what?! That was molestation? I was told that I'd just be loved in a special way.
 
9:22 AM
@Adnan Did I say "molestation"? I meant "special hugging for special people".
That was ironic. You know. #YOLOswag #hashtagsarecool #totallynotahipster
 
@FEichinger hey hey haven't you read the room topics.... nono-yolo
 
Is it rude of me to think that if you ask "How to do X crypto to store CC/SSNs?"on StackExchange, you're probably not the right person to handle CC/SSNs?
I mean, hey, I'm not the right person to do that either
 
9:57 AM
@LucasKauffman Because there's no practical fix for it.
Preventing "dynamic" links in <img> will not fix the issue of Facebook crawlers sending hundreds of thousands of requests.
Example: http://cloud101.eu/yn8xcfghsd8fng.jpg, http://cloud101.eu/357y35yhfe6hgg.jpg and so on.
Hmm... now that I think about it a bit more, actually the dude is right. While the fix won't prevent connection abuse, it will indeed prevent bandwidth abuse. Yeah, that'd solve a big part of the problem.
 
10:29 AM
morning :)
BTW that minor edit reject is now kinda moot point since they removed the max edits to CW limit
 
@TildalWave Because I saw that the tags in the new tags in the first do enrich the question and are indeed relevant. The second one, not so much.
 
@Adnan but the first one is explicitly NOT about the tags that were proposed LOL
and the other one specifically asks about the things that the suggested tags are for :P
 
@TildalWave Hehehehe... you're absolutely correct. My bad on the first one. However, I'm still on the same opinion about the second one.
 
@Adnan OK then I'll jump on your nerves for the first one :)
if (adnan.review != make(sense)) { adnan.annoy++ } else { mention(pineapple) }
 
10:44 AM
Let me refactor that for
if (!Util.isMakeSense(adnan.lastReview()){
   adnan.annoy();
}else{
   Chat.mention(new Pineapple);
}
 
@Adnan it's friday, I was code golfing :P
 
@TildalWave Wut? That doesn't seem very perl-like. ;)
 
@TerryChia well he's not @scottpack
 
first offer proper 3G / LTE support, then worry about a mini.
maybe its just me, but I find the concept of mini tablets kinda hipsterish.
 
@AviD It's just you. I like 7" tablets.
 
@AviD Wait, what? Mini tablets? Aren't they just regular smartphones?
 
you would love anything with 7 inches.

@Adnan "phablets".
 
11:46 AM
the line appears to have been cut as < 7" == phone >= 7" == tablet
 
12:45 PM
@AviD Well, for whatever it's worth, I am definitely not a hipster, and I really like mini-tabs. I'll take my Nexus 7 over my wife's full-size iPad any day. So much lighter and more convenient.
 
12:56 PM
This looks pretty interesting: stripe.com/blog/stripe-open-source-retreat
 
@AviD But I agree with this.
 
1:27 PM
Hola, anyone here interested in wireless communications? :D
What do you guys think about studying in that field for master? :3

This way I can use the cypher query language to access data relationally across all my shards while scaling writes and Big-data horizontally.

@TerryChia Treknobabble meets SQL?
 
@Lamia Ooh, I've just remembered the thing you asked me about.
According to my friend, it seems like they don't have program for normal registration anymore. They've had it last year.
He asked his friend who is an intern at the international office.
 
@Adnan Well, this is another thing I want to ask about. I know, I ask a lot :p
 
@Lamia Asking is good.
 
1:38 PM
@Adnan Oh, that is unfortunate
@Adnan I know :P
Not Ireland then...
I am asking about wireless communication for my friend
 
@Lamia Why not? That's not the only program for international students.
 
@Adnan I am more interested in that program :c
 
@Lamia Why?
@Lamia Here's another one that is very similar ucd.ie/cci/education/prospective_students/msc_difc.html
 
@Adnan Why what? Why am I interested? or why I don't want other programs
 
@Lamia Why you want this program in particular?
 
1:45 PM
@Adnan Because I love to investigate :p ?
Plus, I think it is a combination of different fields
 
@Lamia Given that you already know I want to help you, I hope you don't get the wrong idea from the following.
@Lamia Stop! You're being irrational.
 
@Adnan What :(
 
@TerryChia its so hard to tell nowadays who is serious about that, and who is just doing the tech buzzword version of rickrolling.
 
@Lamia Open the information pages and compare the two programs between each other and between what you wish to study. Then, and only then, make a judgement.
If your criteria is digital investigation and forensics, then this covers it.
If you don't know what your criteria is, then that's a totally different story.
 
@Adnan I have not made a judgement yet, I am still trying to learn more
 
1:50 PM
@Lamia You already judged that that program isn't suitable.
and that's not even the only one. Here's another example itb.ie/studyatitb/bn518.html
 
@Adnan I didn't, I haven't made any comments on the program because I didn't read it yet
You got me wrong maybe
 
9 mins ago, by Lamia
@Adnan I am more interested in that program :c
This implies that you prefer the first program over the second. How can you reach such judgement without knowing what the second is?
and there you're being irrational.
 
@Adnan I said that before you show me the second, maybe I meant that topic instead of that program
 
@Lamia Alright, no problem.
All good.
 
@Adnan Sorry I got you wrong x.x
@Adnan and thank you for your help. :D
 
2:00 PM
@Lamia You're welcome :)

I'm having difficulty working out if this is a parody or not..
 
3:52 PM
@RоryMcCune Nope, doesn't look like a parody

@RоryMcCune I think I just found my weekend project.
Someone kill this, please?

BANG BANG BANG BANG... guess it's not your lucky day...punk. — Lucas Kauffman 55 secs ago
 
6:11 PM
@LucasKauffman I'm not sure what the point of that was?
 
@Xander I killed it
as requested
@Xander I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
 
@LucasKauffman you've started on the beer haven't you ;op
 
@RоryMcCune no still stuck at the client :(
 
@LucasKauffman on a friday ........ lame! I thought you belgians were dead strict on working hours
 
@RоryMcCune not at EY
 
6:15 PM
@LucasKauffman ah so you "volunteer" to work extra ?
 
@RоryMcCune yes I indeed "volunteer"
I even "volunteered" to work tomorrow morning
 
@LucasKauffman how good of you to completely voluntarily work your weekends, it's good to see that companies can't bypass working time regs by pressuring employess into extra work
 
@Iszi the tagging is pretty epic. Five tags, not one of them remotely fitting
 
@CodesInChaos I just mitigated that a bit.
 
@RоryMcCune fortunately I get to do whatever I want, I just need to note down if they are having delays and why they have delays
 
6:19 PM
@LucasKauffman so basically reddit and the DMZ then
 
@RоryMcCune OSCP
my lab report is already a beefy 120 pages

8:00 PM
and the first comment is perfectly sensible:

I expect it's a matter of minutes before the thread degenerates into whining about SE moderation
 
8:19 PM
Any monitor hardware experts in here?
0
Q: What could cause a monitor's image to be skewed & distorted?

IsziMy laptop is normally connected to a monitor, as a secondary display, via VGA cable. However, it's spent the past week or so away from its usual location. When I came back and reconnected, I suddenly found the monitor image is off-center and distorted. I believe this may be a fault in the monitor...

 
@Iszi Hmm that's a weird one. Have you ever taken the laptop apart? It might be worth it to crack it open and attempt to reseat the LCD connector.
 
@DavidFreitag What's the laptop's LCD got to do with it?
 
@Iszi Woops i misread. Got another VGA cable laying around?
Or maybe another laptop?
 
@Iszi You have to try on another monitor
 
@DavidFreitag No. Matter of fact, the last time I had a problem with the monitor I did try another VGA cable. It wasn't until an hour of frustrating and frantic troubleshooting that I finally decided to try the cable I'm using now and found the first two were both bad.
 
8:24 PM
I doubt a bad cable would produce this, although it might happen
 
@Iszi Hmm. It's fairly unlikely that you will have two cables produce exactly the same issue.
 
a VGA signal contains "delays" for the monitor to switch back the electron beam (from right to left, and from low to high)
 
I would either find another monitor to test the laptop + cable, or another computer to test the cable + display
 
The monitor is supposed to pick up these delays and notice where the actual picture lines start.
 
Just got my hands on another laptop. It's definitely not the laptop.
 
8:26 PM
What you show is that the monitor is not picking up the signal at the right time. A glitch in the cable might incur a parasite signal which fools the monitor
But I find it more probable that the monitor itself is at fault.
 
^ What he said
 
@ThomasPornin Damn. Really odd timing though.
I mean, with a recent disconnect/reconnect, it seems like prime opportunity for the cable to fail - not the monitor.
 
@Iszi I suppose you should count yourself lucky since it isn't an issue with the laptop.
 
@DavidFreitag You must not work with dual monitors much.
 
@Iszi CRT monitors became "smart" at some point. Situation was simpler with monitors from before 1994 or so -- these just dumped the raw signal, and the VGA hardware was responsible for using proper signals.
 
8:29 PM
@Iszi Nope, i work with three
 
You could "move" the image around by playing with the timings
(xvidtune...)
 
What i mean is, now you only need a $100 display not a $600 laptop.
 
At that time, evil code could put signals out-of-spec and physically kill the monitor. Ah, good times....
 
@DavidFreitag I have 3 monitors at work - two 19" 4:3 monitors at 1280x1024 flanking one 21" 1080p screen.
 
@ThomasPornin Yeah that's why I'm always fearful of writing my own VGA drivers
 
8:31 PM
Now, for teleworking, I'm down to one 15" 1280x800 screen.
 
@DavidFreitag Any post-1995 CRT ought to include protections against that.
 
@Iszi Yep that about sums up what I've got at work as well hehe.
@ThomasPornin Yes but i don't have any of those just laying around :\
@Iszi Amazon Prime is a beautiful thing.
 
@DavidFreitag Yeah, I don't have Prime.
 
@Iszi You can use mine
 
@DavidFreitag I appreciate the offer, but I don't even like borrowing my closest friends' credentials - let alone some random person on the Internet. No offense.
 
8:34 PM
@Iszi No worries. I always offer
Though you must have a BestBuy or something nearby where you can grab a cheap monitor such as the one in those pictures.
 
@DavidFreitag Nobody sells monitors like that anymore.
 
@Iszi I was in BestBuy yesterday and they had 18" 1680x1050 for $118
 
I meant 4:3 monitors - not that I'm particular about sticking with that type.
I can't decide what I'm more frustrated over right now. That the monitor is borked, or my mouse's batteries decided to crap out at the same time.
 
@Iszi You can still find some 5:4 monitors (1280x1024). Not 4:3, but close enough.
 
8:55 PM
Hrm. I must suck at maths. I always thought 1280x1024 was a 4:3.
 
@LucasKauffman Yeaaaahhh.... I had to go ahead and delete, mmkay pumpkin?
 
@JeffFerland That's two times you disapoint me today
 
Bah. Someone remind me: For a^2+b^2=c^2, how do I calculate a and b when only c and the ratio of a to b are known?
 
@JeffFerland or is facebook becoming part of the pentester's toolkit or system administrator when it comes to capacity planning :p
 
Answer: Look it up on the manufacturer's website instead of the retailer's.
 
9:09 PM
@Iszi what do you mean with ratio?
because this looks like the pythagoras theorem
 
@LucasKauffman i.e.: What should be the width/height (not counting bezel) of a 19" 16:9 display?
 
@Iszi I think if the ratio is 5:4 you can do C = 5*A^2+4*B^2 then it's just a system of equations.
 
@DavidFreitag Or, like I said, I could just go to the manufacturer's website which has the full specs instead of staying limited to the data available from the retailer.
 
so that's 48 CM
 
@Iszi Meh. I like maths too much.
 
9:16 PM
so what you want is actually 9/16x + 16x = 48
no wait not accounting for SQRT
 
@LucasKauffman Is it wrong that any time I think of square rooting something, I say in my mind that I'm going to "squirt" it?
 
@Iszi it's the dmz, of course not
 
@Iszi Shhh. That's one of those things we all do but never talk about.
2
 
only use the positive X
 
9:29 PM
@Iszi I actually use "screwed" in my mind
 
@JeffFerland excuses!
@JeffFerland we also know that if the target is receiving tons of requests, "just blocking the user agent" won't really help
 
@copy Does German have a homophone for "sqrt"?
 
@Iszi ze zquare root of ze number
 
@LucasKauffman The impact here isn't from request count, it's from targeting a large resource. The bandwidth utilization was achieved via a 13MB file (I think that was the file size anyway).
 
@LucasKauffman homo-phone you knucklehead
 
9:31 PM
@Iszi Nope, nothing even close
 
@Iszi aah

Q: what should i study in order to be a hacker html or java or what please big hackers 'bosses' ;) there answer

aboyementhe question is what should I study in order to be a hacker I have some knowledge on html but I don't know what should I study. oh another thing how to create a website using html. please answer

@JeffFerland do you have FB offices in other countries btw?
I was wondering about this
 
9:48 PM
@LucasKauffman I want a "Seriously?!" close reason
4
 
10:26 PM
@CodesInChaos Seriously?
@LucasKauffman ironically, I am horrible at HTML
PHP, ASP, SQL, IIS, even some Apache, these things I understand, but I curse the man who invented HTML
I really want to know whose brilliant idea it was to continue to use an ancient and archaic markup language designed for TEXT and use that as the basis of pretty much the future of software. It makes me cry myself to sleep at night
(and this would be why I hide on my backend and don't play on the front end)
