Adnan

/me slaps @Simon

Polynomial

manly hug!

Adnan

and he likes it

Simon

:'( :'(

Polynomial

13:00

anyhoo

Adnan

@Simon Whaaa?! Last night you said you were a masochist

Polynomial

anyone wanna see something disgusting?

Simon

I'M A MODAFUKIN' RAVA WITH THE HARDSTYLE FLAVOR

Lucas Kauffman

@Polynomial sure why the hell not

Polynomial

Scott has already seen it

Terry Chia

13:01

@Simon no

AviD

Q: How can you tell if someone is a vegan?

A: Oh, don't worry, he'll be sure to tell you.

Polynomial

so that's what our landlord left us to deal with

Lucas Kauffman

@Polynomial your penis?

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman that too

ManishEarth

13:01

I login, and the first word I see is "penis". Bravo.

6

Polynomial

@ManishEarth It's the equivalent of "hello" in here.

Terry Chia

@ManishEarth Still better than that time when the star wall was filled with ascii penis.

Polynomial

scroll down, the pics of the wall are much worse than the ones of the windows.

ManishEarth

@TerryChia hahaha

AviD

@Polynomial wouldnt that be funny, though?

Simon

13:02

8==D

^ Mine :(

Polynomial

@Simon 2/10 would not bang.

Lucas Kauffman

@Polynomial I worked in cleaning when I was a student, trust me, removing mold is one of the nicer tasks :p

Scott Pack

This is true.

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman the gas mask helped a lot

Scott Pack

In grad school my wife and I did some side jobs cleaning out student rentals between tenants.

Lucas Kauffman

13:04

@Polynomial wait this is your appartment?

Polynomial

yes.

I lived with that.

for 4 months.

Simon

@ScottPack Was she your wife at the time? This is an important part of the story.

ManishEarth

@AviD Reminds me, want that kickban bookmarklet of mine? :>

Simon

KICKBACK MIRC

ban.

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman basically the window frames are so rotten that when you poke them, brown water comes out.

Terry Chia

13:05

We should ban @Simon for 30 minutes while we mock him endlessly.

Adnan

@ManishEarth Bravi*

Simon

@TerryChia I can close the tab.

ManishEarth

@TerryChia I can get on board with that

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman the landlord was told to fix it a year ago, by the building manager. he didn't. he left it. now it's like that, and the mould you see there grew in the space of 3 weeks.

@LucasKauffman took us 4 hours last night and 3 bottles of bleach to clean it all up.

ManishEarth

@TerryChia I can kickban Simon, robbing him of the ability to even open this tab

Lucas Kauffman

13:06

@Polynomial not sure how rules are set in your country, but here if significant, structural damage has occurred, including damages caused by the structural damages, you can, if the owner does not comply after a signed request, order an company to 1) fix the damages 2) clean up the dirty stuff AND send the bill to the owner :P

ManishEarth

@Polynomial y u spell mold with a u?

Polynomial

@ManishEarth I'm British.

Simon

@ManishEarth Challenged accepted.

ManishEarth

@Polynomial That's no excuse for being British

Terry Chia

@ManishEarth Because that's the Correct™ way.

Polynomial

13:07

@ManishEarth I speak the Queen's English, motherfucker!

Simon

@TerryChia Says the dude in a weird timezone, pfft.

Rory Alsop

@Poly - Greenpeace...were great fun 35 years ago. But then the Rainbow Warrior was sunk, and I stopped hanging around with beardy wierdies so much

Scott Pack

@Simon Yes.

Polynomial

(the Queen fully endorses the use of "motherfucker")

Simon

@ScottPack Whoa.

lynks

13:08

@RoryAlsop extremist.

Scott Pack

@Simon Why?

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman the rule here is that he legally has to maintain the structure of the property

including window frames

Simon

@ScottPack You've been with her for a while, right?

Polynomial

but not the glass. which is funny, but whatever

Scott Pack

@Simon We were married in 2004.

Adnan

13:08

@Polynomial Whoa! I've always though that the noun is "mould" and the verb is "mold". Never knew it was a British/American thing

Simon

@ScottPack Dayum.

Lucas Kauffman

@Polynomial so if he doesn't, then what :p?

Scott Pack

@Adnan By convention decorative wood work is still referred to as "moulding" in the US. However, to shape something is still "molding".

Adnan

@Simon You'll never find love like that.

AviD

@Simon if it helps, I've been married to my wife for longer than you've been alive.

Simon

13:09

@Adnan OOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

@AviD Rory jr?

Lucas Kauffman

@Simon 12 years

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman In the end I threatened to refer the case to the Housing Association and lawyer up on him, and he conceded to getting the windows replaced. He didn't pay to clean up though. So some people are coming tomorrow to gut the whole window bay and replace it with proper uPVC double glazing

Rory Alsop

pfffft

Simon

@RoryAlsop :)

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman He's breaking the law, and can be legally bitchslapped. But that's expensive and time consuming for me to do. Easier to just threaten until he does it.

@LucasKauffman Also, the usual thing with getting work done in cases where he's legally obliged but not doing it, is that you have to pay then recover the money in small claims court, which is a total ballache

also annoyingly, the dog decided that because the room no longer smelled like him, but of very strong bleach, it'd be a good idea to mark his territory by taking a piss on the floor.

right after I'd cleaned it.

little fucker.

Lucas Kauffman

13:13

@Polynomial time to make hot dogs

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman I got the last laugh. He spend the night in his dog crate, which he hates with a passion.

lynks

@Polynomial what are you doing in the DMZ during work hours?

Polynomial

thisisderbyshire.co.uk/… ... damn, I lived right next to there.

@lynks I could ask the same of you.

lynks

@Polynomial we both know I'm terrible at my job

Polynomial

well I'm so awesome at my job that I can be on the DMZ and write this boring report at the same time!

lynks

13:18

@Polynomial I just have the DMZ open on the monitor that doesnt face the rest of the room

Polynomial

I'm also flambeing a pork chop and reading Dostoyevsky at the same time

@lynks I have the DMZ open on the monitor and anyone can see it. Nobody cares.

lynks

@Polynomial This is why your job is better than mine

Rory Alsop

now I know you are lying @Poly - no one reads Dostoyevsky

Lucas Kauffman

@Polynomial what is a dog crate?

lynks

But I'll be leaving very soon, just waiting for the green light from the next job.

Polynomial

13:19

@RoryAlsop I actually have read some Dostoyevsky. It was pretty morbid.

Rory Alsop

yeah - mind numbing stuff

Scott Pack

@LucasKauffman It's a crate. For dogs.

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman You know those things you put cats/dogs in when you take them to the vets?

like a cage but made of plastic usually.

Lucas Kauffman

@Polynomial keep telling yourself that, all you are doing is procrastinating. I know this from experience.

@Polynomial ah yes yes

Polynomial

@LucasKauffman Of course. But the report is short as hell and boring.

Terry Chia

13:20

@LucasKauffman amazon.com/The-Art-Procrastination-Lollygagging-Postponing/dp/…

Adnan

What the hell is this?

Polynomial

I'll do it inside 15 minutes and then make a cup of tea

Terry Chia

@Adnan MITM attack by NSA.

@Polynomial Is that your gameplan every night?

Polynomial

@Adnan I've transcended into a being of pure light.

@Adnan Either that or I've joined the KKK. Not sure which.

@TerryChia Giggity.

Adnan

@TerryChia :O :O

Polynomial

13:22

on the basis of me not having anything against black people or Jews, I'm gonna guess I haven't joined the KKK.

unless I'm just one of those ironic KKK members. "I'm racist, ironically."

(quotes for clarity)

lynks

@Polynomial haha was just about to suggest that

Polynomial

@lynks Yeah, I realised there was more than one way to take that one after I wrote it

Adnan

@Polynomial Probably the second one

Polynomial

I suppose I could be a member of the KKK in a non-racist capacity.

I'm just the caterer.

or maybe I just hand out flyers for their "Keep the Arctic White" campaign.

(apologies to Bill Bailey for stealing his jokes)

kalina

its fine, he hasn't written any new content in so long it's all public domain now anyway

Polynomial

13:27

@kalina I dunno, he has a new tour that seems to have a lot of fresh material in it.

he did recycle a fair bit for Tinselworm though

kalina

erm

watch "Is It Bill Bailey?"

a tv show from the mid 90s

you'll find material used in Part Troll, Cosmic Jam, Bewilderness, Tinselworm...

A tour with 5-10% new content is not a "new" tour

it's an on going iteration of the last tour

Lucas Kauffman

@kalina how old are you?

kalina

@LucasKauffman 20

Scott Pack

Kids today.

Lucas Kauffman

@kalina What are you studying/working as and do you have a boyfriend?

kalina

13:36

This is basically a more sociably acceptable version of the A/S/L crap I got yesterday

M'vy

hm

lynks

dammit big bear

Terry Chia

@M'vy Hello @M'vy.

Lucas Kauffman

@kalina I still think it's quite interrogative

kalina

@LucasKauffman I work in something relating to computing, I do not have a boyfriend

M'vy

13:38

@TerryChia hey @TerryChia

Terry Chia

@kalina You write code for computers? You use a computer? You curse and swear at computers? You beat up computers with a sledgehammer?

kalina

@TerryChia "something related to computing" is as close as you're getting

Lucas Kauffman

@kalina define related to computing.

kalina

I understand it's a very broad statement which doesn't really tell you anything at all

but I do not care

AviD

@LucasKauffman not in a good way. leave off the newbie.

at some point it just becomes not cool.

@kalina on the other hand, dont forget what most of the users here do for a living. They could probably find out most of this on their own, if they cared enough to invest the time.

Lucas Kauffman

13:43

@AviD I k now ^^

@AviD easier to ask though

kalina

@AviD oh I'm aware that there are people on the internet who know more than I do, I've always been very careful about the persona information I post on the internet

Lucas Kauffman

brb swapping trains

AviD

@kalina somebody here link to that Privacy proposal on Area51.

kalina

old

Rory McCune

@kalina Good plan. I've generally take the approach of not posting anything I wouldn't be happy discussing with the police and my mother-in-law..

AviD

13:44

'taint no such thing.

@RoryMcCune exactly. And assume that anything out of your control is available for public review.

kalina

@RoryMcCune I go a step further than that, I can google my own name and find nothing linking back to me

Scott Pack

@RoryMcCune What about my mother-in-law?

AviD

@kalina oh please, google is for amateurs.

Rory McCune

@kalina ahh well I take the opposite approach of making sure that all the stuff that ties to my name, I don't mind doing so :)

Terry Chia

@RoryMcCune I definitely do not want my future mother-in-law to know the things that goes on in this room.

;)

kalina

13:46

@AviD oh please, most future employers aren't going to put in much more effort than that

Scott Pack

@AviD No it's not. Google is used by Social Engineers the world around because it indexes E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

AviD

@kalina ... unless they are security companies ;-)

Rory McCune

@ScottPack If I was prepared like you with a handy folder of snappy GIFs I'd be sorted now...

kalina

I would never work for a security company

AviD

@ScottPack It's a good start, for sure, but its not the end of story.

Rory McCune

13:46

@TerryChia then you're not in a good position :) what happens on the Internet is there forever :)

Scott Pack

@AviD Oh, it'll be the end of your story.

AviD

@kalina why not? Those are da bestest!

Scott Pack

Unless it was on Angelfire.

kalina

@AviD er... no

Terry Chia

@kalina You are in the wrong room sir/madam/pony.

ManishEarth

13:47

er.... yes

kalina

@TerryChia I know! Funny story, I came here because of people abusing flags, and haven't left yet

AviD

@kalina actually, I think we mean different things by "security company".

Rory McCune

@ScottPack well that + nerdydata.com + shodanhq

Scott Pack

Oh, @Simon, I think this advertisement was meant for you.

ManishEarth

Btw, not sure if I mentioned this before, but one of the professors in the univ is setting up a team of ethical hackers for securing our crappy infra, and he wants me to be in it! :D

Scott Pack

13:48

Rohan Durve - Decode141

@TerryChia Are you still working on pyDrop?

AviD

I assume you are thinking of things like NSA. I think of things like, hmm... 7 Elements ;-)

kalina

@AviD we may be, I don't think it will change my opinion

Terry Chia

@RohanDurve-Decode141 yar.

ManishEarth

@RoryMcCune Shodan's one of the awesomest things there is :D

Scott Pack

13:48

@AviD Lamers.

All the cool kids work for Universities. True story bro.

Terry Chia

Found any bugs? It's still in a pretty crappy state. :P

Rory McCune

@AviD eww

AviD

@RoryMcCune hahaha

okay okay, E&Y then?

Rory McCune

@AviD what can I say they used to have 2 rories now they have none, how can that be cool

AviD

@RoryMcCune oh, are they still around?

Rory McCune

13:49

@AviD you're really not trying for good security companies here are you...

AviD

@RoryMcCune haha, well....

Rohan Durve - Decode141

@TerryChia Nope, haven't tried it sorry. I did something similar in Ruby with their APIs tho for a random project. I conceptualized using DropBox accounts as hosting spaces for content that can be shared amongst associates encrypted on the client side however with assymmetric encryption.

Rory McCune

@AviD yeah still going just not with either me or @RoryAlsop

AviD

@RoryMcCune oh, I assumed they shut down back when.

so forget that, you name the company :-)

btw when I said EY I was referring to Hacktics (the Israeli part of the security company...)

Rohan Durve - Decode141

The public private crypto was supposed to prevent the hastle of the PSK.

Rory McCune

13:51

who's cool... well portcullis if you like odd unixes and abusing photocopies (cc @Polynomial) , MWR if you like mobile stuff, NCC for large testing companies, context IS if you like MS stuff

or Gotham, they're cool

Terry Chia

@RohanDurve-Decode141 I see. I'm just doing something dead simple. Sync AES encrypted stuff over multiple computers I own. So I'm just keeping it symmetric only for now.

Rohan Durve - Decode141

@RoryMcCune Do you know what mobile stuff MWR is working on?

Rory McCune

@RohanDurve-Decode141 well they have the android drozer thing they do labs.mwrinfosecurity.com/tools/drozer also had a really nice vuln recently where injected javascript gets access to a java bridge and executed with the privs of the running application

Rohan Durve - Decode141

I see. :)

Rory McCune

@RohanDurve-Decode141 this is the one labs.mwrinfosecurity.com/blog/2013/09/24/…

ManishEarth

13:54

@RoryMcCune LiveConnect?

Rory McCune

@ManishEarth it's a webview thing from what I've read. you inject javascript into an app using a webview and it can get access to a javascript-->java bridge giving native code execution..

ManishEarth

No, I'm asking about JS<-->Java... how?

Terry Chia

@RoryMcCune oooh nice.

Rohan Durve - Decode141

@TerryChia Haz you seen : forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=15065

Rory McCune

@ManishEarth labs.mwrinfosecurity.com/blog/2013/09/24/… they'll likely do a better job of explaining it than I would... :)

ManishEarth

13:57

thx

Terry Chia

@RohanDurve-Decode141 Nope. Any TLDR summaries? :P

Rohan Durve - Decode141

Sync files from your PC onto a DropBox folder in a cloud in an encrypted manner through a client side application across multiple devices. I think it supports Windows, Linux, Andriod, and Macs.

Terry Chia

@RohanDurve-Decode141 Ahh I see. Yeah I don't doubt that there are better offerings out there. :P That's why I put that disclaimer in my README.
