@Polynomial I was reading through some assembly code, and I really didn't understand what the fuck it was all about, it looked as if everything was written inverse. It took me 1 hour to find out there was also another syntax for AT&T
It's almost kinda assembly, and sooo much clearer. I think it might give you a good basis for "getting" assembly, and then moving on to real assembly later (though I've never tried it in that order). It's definitely much easier to learn...
@AviD That might be an interesting way of doing it. Considering that I'm putting in some serious effort picking up C# now, it would certainly be cool doing it in parallel.
@TerryChia Oh, I figured as much. I was just sayin'.
Also, that was my interest in learning assembly - better understanding of how these compooter thiniges work.
which of course means that for the most part, once I understand it, I can safely forgot about 80% of what I learned, such as syntax.
Though there are some rare situations, that you really need to compile-dissassemble iin order to see what the program is really doing, and catch that very tricky bug.
I have been working on a program that uses MS Access and ODBC to connect to an SQL server. One of the requirements is that the user need not know the password for the connection to the SQL server, so I checked the 'Save Password' check box when linking my SQL tables.
Does anyone know where the p...
First of all, direct answer to your specific question: take a look at DDE, this can cause the VB form to change almost anything at runtime.
However, I have a better answer for you:
Odds are the VB client app is not using an encrypted protocol (such as SSL) - you can just intercept the network...
tbh, at this point we have to assume that your prof doesnt really know enough to recognize a bad scheme when he sees it, but wants to see that you followed best practices whatever he taught you to do for "sehkooruhtee".
I think easiest solution - if it fits the req's - is to rely on NTFS permissions. I.E if you can access the file - you're gold.
with Access, anything else is pointless. Unless its to satisfy a teacher.
though he probably would want to see a ODBC passwords and such - see my answer above.
I am currently enrolling in a computer science class, however haven't learned about databases or security on the internet in general. I have had a lot of programming and database experience before going to university though. So I do know how to handle a database to the extent for it to work prope...
@Polynomial Hi, I have this awesome idea that every one else is doing. I have no idea where to start but I am sure I can succeed. Will you please tell me what to do?
We're examining the RSA algorithm and would like to know how much time it would take an intel i-7 core (@ 2.50 gHz) to factorise the RSA-public key.
we wrote a piece of java for this, and I don't know how effective it is
public static String factorise(long l)
{
double a = Math.floor(Math.sq...
@AviD Sarcasm aside, it is a pretty interesting way to get quick ports over to their platform for popular apps though. They have a conversion tool that does most of the heavy lifting.
Surely the only people who will be interested in this would be the DIY crowd, who should probably be savvy find out that information for free on the internet.
I am trying to understand when using the default android device encryption in 4.0.4 ICS (AES-CBC 128Bit) how the Key Derivation Function works? And how is the Decryption Password Stored and hashed on the device.
I am trying to demonstrate points of potential vulnerability on our enterprise andro...
Does anyone know of a good implementation of bcrypt, I know this question has been asked before but it got very little response. I'm a bit unsure of just picking an implementation that turns up in google and am thinking that I may be better off using sha256 in the System.Security.Cryptography n...
Javascript doesn't let you give private data or methods to objects, like you can in C++. Oh, well actually, yes it does, via some workarounds involving closure. But coming from a Python background, I am inclined to believe that "pretend privacy" (via naming conventions and documentation) is good ...
one thing I'm working on is a "proof" page, which lets you prove to someone that you've completed a challenge, without giving away the level unlock code.
A GC is very nice, especially optimized GC (moving memory blocks allows for good optimizations), but it requires sticking to code with strong, unescapable types ("managed code" in .NET terminology) and it makes interface with native code more complex.
Ideally, don't interface with native code at all. Managed code all the way.
Is it me, or the list of "active" questions on the main page skips questions which have been too downvoted ?
The threshold is higher on meta, I think it's -8 or so compared to -4 on the parent site.
Are you recommending that as the standard for all metas? I think I could support that.
edit: setting this to a global value of -8 for all metas.
With GC-based language, finalization is asynchronous (it must be asynchronous) so the bottom-line is: if you are doing some work in finalization then you are doing it wrong.
at least according to sorkin's portrayal, zuckerberg didnt seem the type to care about "best practices" and "security professionals". He always knew better.
the original design used parameterised queries with a particular technology, then they switched over to a special purpose-built data adapter that let them deal with all of the caching and other junk
Ok. Well it always helps for people to be able to get into a challenge. Nobody wants level 1 to be "re-write Windows. Your time starts now. You have five minutes"
I updated my server yesterday to a new version of CentoOS including a new version of DirectAdmin panel. This new installation comes with Brute Force Monitor service.
As far as I see, this BFM protects brute force tries. In just 24h of this new server, I see that my 5 sites had 10,000 brute force...
