Amid all the discussion about password length vs. complexity (summarized by the famous xkcd strip and the followup dicussion) I am trying to make up my mind about passphrases made up with dictionnary words.
I understand the various calculations for brute force attacks -- would you know of a reas...
@RoryAlsop Hmmm - possibly I think it might. It could do with some editing I think. I need to disappear for a bit unfortunately but when I'm back I'll have a look, see what can be done. If @ThomasPornin or @pauloebermann are around and want to have a nosey, feel free not to wait!
Does anyone else just love it when the fecal matter collides with the spinning turbine, and you've suddenly got to re-construct a timeline from a few months' e-mails, involving three or four groups, within a matter of two hours?
i administer a few servers, on some of which are a lot of users which happily deploy mediawikis and oder php-applications. this gives me head-ache since there are often old versions of them lying around.
Is there something like an automatic upgrader for php-applications and other web-apps?
I kno...
Yeah... That could go either way. I think if it goes to SF he's going to get general configuration management solutions... Webmasters might have better ideas as to something simple.
Earlier this year I was playing around on the schools computers and found out the administrative password to a computer in my classroom. I realized how XP stored their passwords, booted into Ubuntu, and took the SAM and SYSTEM files. I was wondering if it was possible to store these passwords on ...
I have 2 Zyxel PLA407 powerline adapters. Router is downstairs connected to one adapter, other adapter is upstairs about 30 feet away connected to a desktop. I have a house, not an apartment or townhouse.
I've noticed the speed is much faster when i just plug and play, rather than going through ...
@RoryAlsop Since you've done some testing, where do un-encrypted powerline adapters fit in operation mode, relative to switches and hubs? I'm not really that familiar with the technology at all, but I would imagine it has to operate as a hub just on principle.
@ScottPack On the Ethernet end of things, I can understand that. But how does the adapter control the route its data will physically travel across the power lines?

Now that the question is on Super User, I can upvote the same answers I previously upvoted on Server Fault.
@RoryAlsop MySQL... I kept my config file because it had some custom directories. The diff didn't seem important to me... I didn't realize Ubuntu was adding a whole other root directory... now there's /run and /var/run. Ugh.
Now we've graduated from beta, wouldn't it be time for us to set our migration list?
I would propose:
meta.security of-course
superuser
serverfault
webapps
math / theoretical.cs / stackoverflow
Does the moderators have some feedback on this in term of statistical of previous migrations?

@ScottPack Are we talking about a logging machine that has its send cable cut or all traffic firewalled? Otherwise, it will respond to ARP which will come before a UDP is sent to it.
@JeffFerland The problem is, as Scott mentioned, that the ARP table will sometimes outlive the CAM table. So, the switch will forget where the target device is long before the sender asks it again.
When I was young, I used to create loopback plugs that had no cable sticking out the back, only 2 wires that connected send to receive and then crimped. It was a fun toy.
This is a fascinating question. Normally, one asks how to protect themselves from daemons. Working backwards, I would recommend starting with a high quality summoning circle. Once the daemon is within the circle, charge it the same way you when when summoning, except reverse the polarity so that ...

Is it safe to transfer Facebook access token via TCP? What is the worst that can happen if someone gets the token?
