00:45
@RоryMcCune I laughed so hard.
 
4 hours later…
05:26
@LucasKauffman Oh, Christ! You should finally get that beer connoisseur degree. I went with some Old Amsterdam for cheese. That Leffe was heavenly.
05:59
@Adnan :p
06:44
@ManishEarth Morning!
mornin'
 
1 hour later…
07:54
@ManishEarth Morning!
Apparently waking up at noon makes the DMZ wish you a good morning. #TimeZoneLogic
08:08
@ManishEarth in that case: lazy bum
08:22
morning
hello @kalina how are you today
alive
08:45
'morning
Morning all.
@RoryAlsop o/
09:13
Another day, another guy dumping an infected PC on me...
09:50
@Lucas Fantastic idea to put the 'nudes' folder in the Dropbox share.
@Adnan I need to update the folder though, I've spent some time working on PwK this week :p
@Adnan well guess you felt trolled when you found out it was EMPTY
muahahaha
@LucasKauffman Actually, that was one thing
10:23
Sitting at my desk, sipping my coffee, reading an article that LinkedIn popped up as relevant to me. The article is titled "Productivity Hacks: Why I Don’t 'Do' Coffee". Is my webcam on??
10:38
@AviD So, you're not one of those who tape their webcams?
@Adnan heh, actually I did do that, on my laptop, back when clickjacking was becoming a thing. But I dont actually have a working webcam for my desktop...
I should probably get one sometime...
@AviD Uggh! This is almost a deal-breaker for me when going to lady's place.
@Adnan you need the webcam on?
and, btw, thankfully I am not one of the ladies whose place you visit.
@AviD Well, it's actually just the act of blocking the webcam with a piece if paper or black tape.
That, and having pictures of exs around.
@AviD Ah! That breaks my heart.
anyway, I lied - the tape is really blocking the webcam's ON light, so that the many ladies who visit me won't know the webcam is on. Also, if they ask, I can show them the tape ostensibly blocking the webcam.
10:43
@AviD Yup, that's my AviD!
hehehe. Now, if only I had many ladies visiting my love nest I mean bachelor pad, I MEAN, my office!
@AviD Now I really want to see pictures of your office.
lol
if you ever make it to the area, you are invited to come visit.
@AviD Let's see if I need visa...
It's cool, your army escort would be passing close by anyway. ;-)
10:46
@AviD Yup, no need for visa.
@AviD You mean your evil supervillain lair?
Maybe I should shave my beard, though.
@Adnan why? They are popular here.
@AviD Oh, true.
@TerryChia Do you know the difference between a super villian and a regular villian?
10:47
@AviD Actually, after growing my beard, I was asked many times if I were Jewish.
Here we go....
@AviD Well, the circumcised penis played a role in the assumption too.
@Adnan aren't you?
@AviD Whenever I'm drunk, I sing Hava Nagila all the way home from the bar. I guess that counts.
@TerryChia PRESENTAAATIOOOON!!!
10:49
Hmm.. and I do own a yamaka.
Then again, by that logic I should be Scottish for knowing more than 0 Rory and owning a kilt.
@Adnan Just because you like to dress up in your mom's skirt every now and then, doesn't make it a kilt. Even if you're barebottom underneath.
11:09
@AviD Damn it! It's an actual kilt :(
I would ask for proof, but to be honest I'm not sure I want to see it ;-)
hehehe
@AviD I can assure you with a great certainty that you do not want to see that.
Okay, enough with the morning snark. Let's get serious for a bit.
I just moved the wife from crappy ol' iPhone to shiny new Android. Suggestions for must-have apps?
and, parallel to that, I finally upgraded my winphone to WP8 - @Iszi @RоryMcCune suggestions for must-have apps? The geekier the better.
@AviD Want my honest opinion? Keep apps under an "as needed" rule.
@Adnan oh totally.
11:17
@AviD I'm sorry... I thought you said enough with the snark?
for the wife, I'm really looking mainly for android security type stuff. AV, antimalware, lockdown, passwords management, etc.
@AviD Ooor, how about none of that?
At most, install Prey
for me, I am also interested in the types of tools that "oo that would come in handy". Like e.g. Powershell app, that would be cool.
@Adnan have you seen android's security model? It gives about as much protection as your mother's skirt your kilt.
@Adnan yeah, prey thats the one, I put that on my kids' phones.
@TerryChia I don't get it?
@AviD Sample conversation: "WP 8 -- that thing still exists?"
@Adnan I also need a very usable password manager for her. like keepass, but more usable. Like WP8's wallet, conceptually.
@TerryChia huh?? I dont get it.
11:22
@AviD /sigh I'm mocking WP 8 and people who use it.
@TerryChia what? Why? I dont understand.
Is this one of those clueless Linuxy newbiechild-aspiring-to-neckbeard hate-everything-M$ rants again we've all come to love from you?
:-)
@AviD Well.... yeah obviously!
@TerryChia ahhhh, okay. How's that working out for you?
Kidding aside, keepass is already very usable on Android. What do you feel it's lacking?
@AviD KeePassDroid
11:27
ah, excellent. Didnt actually look at it. How does the UX work, as far as switching between apps, and copypasting? Or is it embedded to the browser?
For her, that would be best.
@AviD It's copy past AFAIK.
@AviD So far, no browser-ready solutions exist
Login to the wallet, find the entry you want and copy the password into clipboard.
@Adnan ah, hmm. So that's what I would say is lacking @TerryChia
@TerryChia and, I assume, there is no security controls on that clipboard.
Gotta lurv dem anderds.
@AviD I don't think so but it's been a while since I used it.
11:30
@AviD Dude. You're obsessing over this
Tell her not install sketchy apps and keep her apps updated
That's it.
Also, I don't see how browser integration can exist besides actually embedding a browser in the app.
Do people really do banking operations on their mobiles?
As paranoid as I've made my wife, I dont think she would enjoy copypasting passwords. She'd still rather use weak ones.
@TerryChia Actually, a friend was working on one. Basically, same as Orweb. A modified browser with the stuff you need.
@Adnan some do, sure, but she doesn't.
11:32
@Adnan Ah interesting.
mobile chrome doesnt support plugins?
@AviD Fantastic. Drop the security expert act with her.
@TerryChia Speaking of which. Orweb is fantastic for unrooted phones.
I know 1Password on iOS embeds a browser into the app. But it's iOS so the browser on it is the crappy no JIT version.
@Adnan hmm, come to think of it, I was confused. I think you're right, she probably doesnt need that on mobile. But I had wanted to find one like that for desktop. That's what it was.
@Adnan I don't own an Android phone. My nexus 7 is currently flashed to the pwnpad rom. :P
@AviD Then.... Keepass?
11:34
@TerryChia no, keepass is too involved. For her I need one embedded in the browser.
and, if I find one that is nearly-user-transparent, I will endeavor to get my parents to use it too.
@AviD LastPass...?
Jesus Christ! Do people acutally use their mobiles to do stuff online other than Facebook/email, news, or the weather?
11:48
@TerryChia I dunno. Isnt that the one stored "in the cloud"?
@Adnan yes, some do.
that is, I definitely do, even if not actually things like banking and such.

Q: Can we continue to show the "Take a tour" banner after a user has created an account?

FlykWhen you view a Stack Exchange site without being logged in, you see a friendly banner, prompting you to take a tour and understand the features of the site: This links off to a high quality resource that can help new users understand how the site works. However, the moment a user signs up to ...

</shameless plug>
Apr 19 '13 at 11:14, by Adnan
@TildalWave It's called shameless self-plugging.
@kalina Also, +1
I know, I have the best ideas
you should just automatically upvote everything I ever say
2
12:19
@AviD Does punctuation in Hebrew follow the same rules as in English?
I cannot find a good guide on that one.
12:36
@Adnan It's written right-to-left so ... no? E.g. P: ?thgir-ot-tfel ti etorw I fi ,eb dluow ti erehw decalp si kramnoitseuq siht ekil uoy ot kool ti seoD
@Adnan how so?
@TildalWave Makes perfect sense
@AviD Oh, never mind. I asked a lady friend. She's gonna help me study them.
> ooh yeah, come over and help me study punctuation.
@Adnan who you calling a lady? :D
I'm sure you'll punctuate her very well.
12:46
lol
@AviD Oh, it already happened a while ago and I got it out of the way.
@AviD Actually, it was very hot. Mainly because of the historical conflicts between our two nations. It felt extra naughty because of the religious conflict as well.
@Adnan yeah, but you'll be punctuating right-to-left now, I'm sure you haven't done that before :)
@TildalWave Oh I'm quite skilled with punctuating right-to-left, left-to-right, and pretty much in all other possible directions.
@Adnan yeah but does she know that?
@Adnan so, you go both ways?
12:48
@AviD Nothing wrong with that.
@TildalWave Oh she knew that alright.
@Adnan So why are you learning Hebrew then? You realize it's just heavily obfuscated, right? :)
@TildalWave Well, I've been learning Hebrew on and off for a few years now. My interest was recently renewed following a romantic interest. While the romantic interest became out of the picture, my Hebrew-related interests stayed.
@Adnan Man, you're mixing your crypto here. What you want is asymmetric encryption then with a good key exchange scheme
@TildalWave With a strong underlying symmetric encryption?
(Look at us - pretending to know a thing or two about crypto)
12:56
no no, I'm not pretending... it's quite obvious that I don't know anything about it
I'm just using big words like, you should install her new root certificates :))
then you MiTM her whenever you want
@TildalWave Be sure to roll your own crypto!
2
@TildalWave then you MiTM them whenever you want*
@TerryChia Oh that's extremely star-worthy.
@kalina I'd like to comment on the disturbing nature of your avatar
@Adnan I'd like to comment on the disturbing nature of your face.
@AviD Can we flag his face as offensive?
3
13:11
@Adnan this is my old avatar
what is your problem with it?
I'm sorry that you feel an angel is unsuitable as the avatar for an angel
do avatars have angels?
They would need to be tall and blue with funny ears.
@kalina I prefer it to the other one, there's a hacker type I follow on twitter who had a blue looking MLP avatar and it was confusing
@RоryMcCune I'm changing back if I lose in the mod election
@kalina what mod election?
by if, I mean when
by lose, I mean finish last
13:19
by finish last she means get removed from the ballot before voting
There has been a quite negative reaction to... well, it feels like many people feel disgusted by the fact I even had the audacity to nominate myself
Meh. Look on the bright site, you'll get a t-shirt.
hardly
They're nice and soft, keep their color well enough, and make for fantastic undershirts.
I'll be looking for something new to do with my time after this is over I think
13:21
If you actually win you get more stuff.
no point in spending this much time reviewing and editing if people can't get over a mistake I made 2 years ago
People are generally assholes.
Look at @AviD.
the current moderators, who out of them, only one of them is actually active, do less in terms of editing/closing/deleting than I do
@ScottPack True. Wait, are you wanting me to goatse you?
Because I am not going to goatse you.
and I've been in enough trouble to have knowledge and experience of how the actual moderation side of things work
13:25
@AviD Promises promises.
@ScottPack I have more chance of winning the lottery
@kalina So you'll get a t-shirt. Winner!
I don't want a t-shirt, I'd never wear it
I do not have a single geeky tshirt
send it to me!
I am extremely confident that we are not the same size
with Stack Exchange being an American company, they probably can't even get hold of a tshirt in my size
13:29
@kalina I wear it as an undershirt.
@kalina If you don't want the shirt, ask them for @AviD's size when they ask you.
@kalina true. I like my t's to be extra baggy.
@AviD Is that so they disguise chins 4-7?
hehe
@AviD ...
if I asked them for a baggy t-shirt, it still wouldn't fit over your overly large head.
13:33
I am surprised he can fit that thing through doors.
@kalina well, my head is only oversized in a literary sense, not a physical one.
Wow, finally completed a buffer overflow challenge after 6 hours straight working on it. That's a new record...
Anyone of you heading to TrustyCon? arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/…
@TerryChia nah I avoid going to the US these days... but interesting to see they're doing quite well with another RSA alternative...
@RоryMcCune Interesting that Microsoft is sponsoring it.
That's a real big "Fuck you" to RSA.
where here is American?
because your country is retarded
13:44
@TerryChia and good to see that trustycon and B-Sides SF don't clash
so its possible to go to both...
@RоryMcCune Did you see the name of the keynote?
@TerryChia what the "talk I was going to give at RSA" one?
@RоryMcCune Yeah. Hilarious.
@RоryMcCune I need to start going to more conferences.
@TerryChia I think quite a few of the speakers are people dropping out of RSA
13:46
@RоryMcCune Looks like it.
There is a big international cybersecurity conference next week in Tel Aviv, and I'm not invited :-(
@AviD I've just got a couple more in plan for this year. Scottish Ruby conf in may and then OWASP EU in June
@AviD bummer :(
confs loosely on security are proliferating over here, but a lot of it looks likes business/academia talking/selling shops
@RоryMcCune tbf, anybody that wants to fork over a few hundred dollas can get in. I just dont want to spew out that kind of dosh for it
@kalina Our entire patent/trademark/copyright system is fucking broken.
@AviD nah there's not many confs I'd pay a lot to go to...
@RоryMcCune Yeah. It's a real bummer especially here in SG.
@ScottPack this is an entirely new level of stupid, though
There's basically one interesting con. Syscan. That's it.
they're really bringing in some big names there...
afternoon
so, a little question
13:48
apparently close to 4000 people have signed up.
is it possible to change the login e-mail?
@kiBytes little questions can only consist of up to 4 words, sorry
@kiBytes you'll have to be a bit more specific.
just a smidgen.
@kalina I see it as a natural evolution of how ridiculous the system is.
I signed up with an e-mail account
and I would like to use a different one
13:49
if you would like to ask a medium or large question, please send $1 to [email protected]
@kiBytes signed up.... to what??
@kiBytes Profile->my logins
I have been there, but I am not sure what should I do once there, I am not sure about the process xD
@kiBytes add more logins
do I need to create a new account?
ok, then that solved my doubt
^^ - mark as reply xD
or as correct answer =D
13:52
this is chat
we don't do that here
@kalina we don't really do much of anything here.
you don't
but then, you don't anywhere
mmm
it looks like a can't add any more accounts
oh yeah? I just handled half-dozen flags this morning!
any time I click over "stackexchange or similar"
it just redirects me to my user profile
13:58
looks broken to me too
nice! Now I have two different accounts =D
@kiBytes I've raised it as a bug
0
Q: "Add logins..." option doesn't behave as I'd expect it to?

FlykOn the profile page you have the "my logins" link, which shows you all of the various IDs you can use to log into your Stack Exchange account. I am trying to add a Stack Exchange account to this so that I can log in to Stack Exchange using my Google account or using a Stack Exchange username/pa...

@kalina It's been 53 minutes. I'm still laughing at that one.
@Adnan what is there to laugh at?
thank you @kalina
14:07
now that you have two accounts, you could ask @Avid to merge them and see if that results in what you were expecting
so... @AviD it would be great if you can do what @kalina suggests =)
the two accounts are "antonio-kiBytes" and the other one this one =)
I agree with this on a generic level, @avid should just always do what I want
@kiBytes NO! I shall not!
You can't tell me what to do! You're not my real mom!
but no, us simple mods cannot merge users anymore. You have to contact [email protected]
@AviD I am not in a hurry, I can wait until this is working again =)
47 mins ago, by AviD
Because I am not going to goatse you.
14:22
Ask meta: do "security stack-exchange" really need more users beside the bear and the llama? Their knowledge is amazing =)
Well, you're half right.
@kiBytes Tä?!
Don't be jealous =)
@kiBytes Yeah. Screw all the other pentesting experience we have here. Who cares about @RoryA, @RoryM. Screw the math guys, who cares about @Manish. Screw the hardware dudes, who cares about @D3C4FF
Screw the apps guys, too!
14:26
@kiBytes Oh yeah, I'm jealous because you're not thinking I know more than the bear.
Hehhehehehe
As if such statement needs to be stated.
ok @Adnan, ok I believe there are a lot of experts around here =D
and I don't quite understand what the llama is doing there. I think we don't mock @Lucas enough.
just naming two very active users =)
@kiBytes active != expert.
@kiBytes You can tell you're on your way to be a liked member of this community by bashing on 99.9% of its userbase
14:28
@AviD Who?
hehe, there ya go.
@AviD I concur.
xDDDD
oh, you are grumpy and picky =D
though for the record, I DO have some answers, if not knowledge, in certain other areas besides apps.
@kiBytes -> this is addressed to the whole DMZ at large, yes?
@kiBytes Nope. I just don't like that statement and, consequently, you.
14:29
@AviD I like to think of you as the Radio Shack of Security. "We've got Questions. You've got Answers." There's just no requirement of accuracy.
2
@AviD yes =D
@AviD Nah, we like @Lucas
@ScottPack hahahaha, nice
At least I do.
What does liking Lucas have to do with mocking him? I can easily do both.
14:30
@ScottPack Hmmm.. true.
@ScottPack By that token, you would be the Crazy Eddie of Security.
@AviD Go on.
no no, I think that's enough.
We don't have those around here.
IT'S INSAAAAAAANE!!
@ScottPack no one does, they closed in like the 80s (or maybe the 90s....) But I'm sure you remember the commercials?
14:32
> a chain of retail stores that did business in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania as well as by phone.
I'm fair positive I didn't. :)
@ScottPack Huh. I thought it was a nationwide chain. Guess it's only the area that counts.
Ah, here's the llama boy.
I have another question
@kiBytes while very active, I don't consider myself as expertie as some of the users here in the room and certainly not the bear or the tiger.
14:33
@LucasKauffman Oh honey. I'm sure you're an expert as something.
Well I haven't been around long enough to have read the response of every user here, just naming two of them I have been reading a lot this week =)
@ScottPack I am, but I still need MOAR KNOWLEDGE
@LucasKauffman who's the tiger?
and more experience
@AviD you, raur
ahhh oh duh :$
thats tiGGer
14:34
@ScottPack He's definitely The DMZ's resident Llama expert.
double guh
But, I have another question
@kiBytes shoot
I haven't seen any statistics about the page
visits, questions/day and similar
maybe there is a place
I haven't found it
14:35
@ScottPack see if you had the context of being familiar with these commercials, it would have been hilarious.
@AviD Not growing on in the high society area of Jersey Shore I didn't have the privilege.
@ScottPack I can attest to @Lucas' expertise on beer. His pairing recommendations are phenomenal. The mere sight of his beer collection got my gf's engine running.
@Adnan Is that a euphemism?
Ok, that's true. Lucas does have good advice on that.
He still hasn't come to visit and bring a case.
@TerryChia Luckily, this is literally what happened.
@ScottPack Speaking of which.
14:37
@ScottPack You still haven't visited my either, there's always a glass and a bottle standing ready visitors from SECSE
@TerryChia They poured a little beer in the carburetor and off it went!
I decided to gift 4 users in the DMZ each a 6-pack of the European beer of their choice
@ScottPack: it turns out that the Snark was a real thing. It delivered a massive impact but was extremely unreliable and inaccurate.
Now the hard part is deciding which 4 users.
@Adnan oooo me me! pick me!
14:39
I am sure I one of the four @Adnan
But I want a 6-pack of @LucasKauffman's choice.
@AviD Dude, your name is automatically assigned to one of them.
6 pack westvleteren
@Adnan w000t!
and I was thinking of @Terry
14:39
@LucasKauffman Speaking only English how would a trip to your area work out for me?
Now that @Terry's old enough to drink.
@ScottPack it would depend, most dutch speaking people also speak English, if they're french you're fucked
@kalina Kettle, meet pot. nbcnews.com/business/… They've just filed in the US. They've already been granted a trademark in the EU.
@ScottPack You can replace speech with dollars. As long as you keep handing out 100$ bills, people will smile.
5
@ThomasPornin Spoken like a true Frenchman!
@ScottPack As someone who has done a similar trip speaking only English. I can assure you it's extremely easy.
14:41
@Adnan The nordics isn't Belgium :p
@ScottPack I haven't been to Belgium, but in the Netherlands (which is right next door) it was perfectly fine.
@LucasKauffman I could believe that. The Dutch speakers I've met speak exceptional English.
@LucasKauffman Dude, I went to Belgium at least 2 times.
Romania, on the other hand, is another matter altogether.
(where I actually went around for days)
14:43
@ScottPack Mr Scott if you ever want to visit I will put some several beers cold together with a bed and a bucket.
@kiBytes use the "contact us" link on the site and ask for your old and new account to be merged, that will merge the logins as well
@LucasKauffman I'll definitely let you know. I imagine the next time I make it that way I'll be dragging the family along.
@LucasKauffman Last night the kid asked us to take her to Scotland.
I will, thanks @kalina
@ScottPack you can visit the Rories :O
you can make it a eurotrip
@Adnan Thanks, but shipping stuff here from Finland will probably be killer expensive. :P
14:45
visit Rories, me, Adnan and Tildal
@LucasKauffman Given the expense of air travel we might as well.
@TerryChia Oh no, don't worry. The killer will be customs, probably.
@ScottPack Shove the family into a 10euro trip with RyanAir
I don't like Singapore customs :(
@TerryChia do you actually drink beer?
14:46
@LucasKauffman Yeah yeah yeah.. Visit meeee!!! I have cold.. very cold. Also santa. Also Salmiakki.
@Adnan we can go into the sauna together with the scott.
@LucasKauffman :O :O :O
and take pictures of us manly man being manly
Oh, Jesus!
@LucasKauffman Not my favorite drink in the world and I don't drink it often, but I do at times.
14:47
@Lucas Being naked with the DMZ people. I'm not sure I wanna do that
I'm appropriately furry.
@ScottPack I'm sure @LucasKauffman is into that.
I said appropriately.
Ahhh.. Just encountered this.
on an HTTP page
@TerryChia Tigerbeer isn't bad tbh, but it's just pilsner
14:52
@LucasKauffman Or the llamaly man being llamaly.
Has everyone seen this yet? blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/01/20/…
@RоryMcCune What do you think about the recent Ruby/SSL fuss?
