@Gilles meh. That's WAAAY better then running them as root. The only difference between a personal account and a system account is how you use them. Just make sure that the user doesn't have sudo, remove the password, and change the homedir to something else (or remove all the hidden files and dirs in his existing homedir), and you've pretty much locked down the account.
Anyone here discovered Aether (www.getaether.net) yet? <3
Seems to be an important evolution from reddit from infosec perspective, just is far too quiet for its own good. I read Google and others fought to hire em, and he got hired but still is allowed to dev. hmm.
@TerryChia and hipster @AviD, I'm gettting a new phone from work, iPhone 6 (64 GB) or iPhone 6 plus (16 GB). Which one should I take? I'm leaning towards the normal one since it has more storage space. Currently not sure what the iPhone 6 plus offers more except that you need to get an additional backpack to carry it in.

@RоryMcCune Driving. So I think we might get a couple of hours kip after tonight's gig, then stright up to John O'Groats for the short crossing. Meet up with the family for a couple of hours then soundcheck and gig. Another 5 hours kip, then drive southwards :-)
@RоryMcCune google currently saying 6:45pm-ish...but that's later than it told me yesterday. Will have to look at conditions on the way south. Shoul;d be in Inverness by 3.45 at the latest so will be able to make decision then
Precompute SHA-1 of facebook, generate random private key and change the public exponent several times. Means you only have to finish the hash and that you can get several addresses with only a few prime number hunts.
"There's no shame in dropping infected USB flash drives into trick-or-treaters' bags on Halloween." ... they do that all month here. We call it Hacktober.
Anyway, time to go get some funky looking clothes on so I don't feel weird on Halloween.
Shockingly, AviD actually has more rep than Rook this year. And I say "shockingly" based on the fact that he's written a grand total of 3 answers all year. He does have that XKCD answer though...That one's probably still pulling in gravy for him.
I love the reaction when I get in to a security related argument on another SE site and get someone telling me how I don't know what I'm talking about and then I link them to Sec.SE.
the latest was someone who was arguing that someone was wrong for suggesting that a small photography business owner simply remove physical access to the hardware and disconnect the system from the internet if he want's to prevent photos from being leaked by those working on editing it, but that he also has to worry about analog holes with people taking photos and such.
They were instead proposing that this SMB owner setup a trusted platform to encrypt all the data on the network and prevent the files from being able to be moved off the network in an unencrypted form
and saying that his answer was somehow more effective than simply preventing outside connections by airgapping
never mind that the chances of successfully maintaining a secure trusted platform network for a small business of photographers is effectively less than 0
oh, and the icing on the cake, someone suggested it might be a better question for Sec.SE than Photography and this guy said it was actually a better question for SF and would be off topic here
I took the liberty of letting him know that Sec.SE actually is designed to address security design related questions as long as it isn't product recommendations or technical implementation details
(though I did point out it almost certainly also qualifies as a duplicate already)
The situation is this one: we are a small photo company. We have a few people going out to shoot various assignments. When they return they hand me the memory cards and I download the images into the main storage (a NAS storage for that matter). More computers could access this storage and I have...
A properly administered and designed network will not leak data. Now, when woliveirajr talks about Wikileaks, etc. - this is all about human factors and human errors. It was not the system that failed. I have administered many servers directly on the net with huge traffic, without a security incident. Don't sell me the bullshit that nothing is secure, etc. — TFuto46 mins ago
the comparison of preventing unauthorized access to protected systems in an anecdotal case vs preventing unauthorized use of data you've been given access to was my favorite part
Is the ASP.NET .ASPXAUTH cookie value always the same for a given user?
