Is that like a euphemism for penis?

Because if it is... sign me up!

...for the bacon.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag no they actually build a chimney out of bacon coming off your benedict

Its amazing

Q: Successfully perform MITM attack in OCSP authenticated network

I was trying earlier to make a MITM attack using both ettercap and arpspoof, but neither of them worked. I am connected to the internet from my dorm-room, we have a shared wifi connection, where OCSP authentication is used (network sign-on is required via HTTP). When I do the MITM attack, the vi...

@Schroeder I wish I knew something about anything he said.

schroeder

@JukEboX oh good - then I'm not crazy

@JukEboX I kept trying to think of ways that OCSP could be used in that way, and I had a couple ideas, but ...

JukEboX

@Schroeder is he using fake credentials? It is obviously knocking against the A/D is he banging against the A/D. I am confused.

2 minutes!!!

Time to go home! See you guys :)

Hi.

Somebody crafted a piece of software able to change the execution byte order by maintaining the same execution process, it is based on the functions that are parsed and then sent to the coprocessors.

It works for multiple platforms as it seems.

TildalWave

link please

Victor Lopez

Still researching. Tomorrow I'll bring performance benchmarks on a clean system.

this and this are an example. The only difference between each was a tab inside the foo_log_n function.

Victor Lopez

08:49

The way for detecting that was the usage of O(log n) over O(n) functions since that would require more calls to math operations.

apu and fpu operations are delayed by the byte execution order

kalina

10:54

@MarkBuffalo is that a euphemism?

MickLH

Well, obviously...

kalina

oh look, it's you

from the settlement of mean people

MickLH

when did the settlement occur? I'm part of a payout?!

kalina

settlement like village

MickLH

Oh I'm just being facetious

kalina

10:58

totally misread as fecies

Rоry McCune

mornin' all

MickLH

good ridiculously-early morning

kalina

and I was j ust going to stay silent and see how long it was until somebody else said hi

Rоry McCune

pphbt it's 11am

kalina

but fine, let's all just say a hello

Rоry McCune

11:00

I've been for a nice 5 mile walk already this morning

@kalina o/

kalina

I have eaten an entire bowl of cornflakes dry

does that count

MickLH

Only completely

Rоry McCune

@kalina sounds perfectly normal (I eat all cereal dry)

kalina

well it's difficult being entirely vegan around these meat eating blood thirsty scavenger people

but I don't need milk

MickLH

holy f**k! vegan? that's real?

Rоry McCune

11:02

@MickLH pls you're in california, #1 hipster-ville and the land of the vegans

MickLH

Thus, if vegans existed I would have seen one by now!

Rоry McCune

@MickLH unless you're a cave dweller

kalina

I'm hardly strict

I had bacon earlier in the week

and I'm near a city with ham in the name

MickLH

lol well if those are the rules, then I'm a vegetarian

because I've only had bacon and chicken recently

Rоry McCune

@kalina ah yeah but it's anti-meat as it doesn't like "ing" ham whatever that is

TildalWave

12:00

small joys when you vote to close as unclear a confused pupil's homework question :)

that's not too mean is it? LOL

@kalina Hamburg? :D

Thomas Pornin

14:00

@TildalWave I always thought that Kennedy chose the wrong town for his speech.

TildalWave

14:19

Ich bin ein Hamburger ...

not fair, now I want one

Mark Buffalo

Comcast is still out

This has ruined my entire weekend

Thomas Pornin

@MarkBuffalo It is not Saturday where you live ?

I am pretty sure the current week-end is not finished.

... Unless you are a Japan-living Jew, in which case Shabbat is indeed drawing to a close.

Or maybe Algeria ? I think they have a Friday-Saturday notion of week-end (it used to be Thursday-Friday, but they changed it recently to promote business with Europe).

Mark Buffalo

14:36

@ThomasPornin Heh. I lost all of last night's productivity

And all of today's so far

I have very limited time to work on my video games

And I look forward to using fri/sat/sun for that

I'm trying to get this game released as soon as I can

Excel, from Office 2011 for Mac, does not support importing a CSV file using UTF-8.

It has the menu entry for that, but it does not actually work. The non-ASCII characters are replaced with "_".

It does not support UTF-16 either: non-ASCII characters (even simple latin-1 characters like "é") are removed. There again, it has a menu entry for that.

Importing with "ISO latin-1" also removes the perfectly normal non-ASCII latin-1 characters.

You have to use "Windows Latin 1" to keep these characters.

Xander

@ThomasPornin Well that's just plain disingenuous.

Thomas Pornin

Office in general tends not to blend well with OS X; it tries to keep some of its Windows-specific interface behaviours. On top of that, Excel does about everything weirdly, as it does in Windows, but with extra bugs.

TildalWave

@ThomasPornin that doesn't work exactly as expected on Windows either

not that it would be to any consolation, just saying that you're not the only one having problems with it

Thomas Pornin

15:44

A Microsoft engineer has responded in answers.microsoft.com that it is just "not supported", but you can use the "send feedback" button to request inclusion in a future version.

You buy an Office license, but what you get is a trailer for what it could have been.

TildalWave

yeah... I thought we paid for such a basic function to be included in it

afternoon all

CodesInChaos

Excel is WTF. I don't get how they manage to market software that's far less intuitive than well designed programming languages to non programmers.

Thomas Pornin

@CodesInChaos People need to use Excel because they must process Excel files, either their own data, or data from other people who use Excel.

It is the trap-by-data-format that Stallman rambles about all day long.

(Although Stallman's solution -- i.e. open source software -- is not necessarily a good one, at least he got part of the problem correctly.)

CodesInChaos

16:58

Open source people are just as bad at writing proper specifications as closed source people

"The code is the spec" seriously?!

Thomas Pornin

@CodesInChaos As an added twist, recent Microsoft efforts with OpenDocument show that even with an "open" format, fine behavioural differences are sufficient to keep customers captive.

Right now, there still is not any "good" method to import Office documents (by "good" I mean here "bug-compatible").

Typically the fonts or spacing will be damaged for Word/PowerPoint, and with Excel clones the whole thing just blows up at random times.

Q: Why is my phone connection secure without a password when WiFi is not even with a password?

When I talk on the phone or send text messages, I never need to type a userid and password, yet the connection is secure anywhere I go. Why doesn't WiFi work this way?

authentication wifi mobile simcard

Oh dear

talk about appropriate user names

Rory Alsop

18:56

Hmmm - any thoughts on where I should send this? I'm thinking SO

Q: What type of traffic is generated from search bar predictions?

What type of traffic is generated from predictive typing in a browser search-bar? Image included.

google ip protocols tcp web

Adi

@RoryAlsop I don't even understand the question

A simple F12 -> Network will show the traffic

Rory Alsop

I think it's asking what network traffic happens - yeah

Adi

Okay, I might be a bit thick here, but I still don't get what he's asking

Rory Alsop

@Adi I think he thinks it must be doing various things, rather than just sending the letters you type :-)

Adi

That sounds pretty plausible

Rory Alsop

19:00

that is just my guess though

Adi

Oh god. I just received a comment on an old answer

In the comment chain, someone was talking to Svetlana

I couldn't find any comment by anybody called Svetlana

Then I remembered that I am Svetlana

What a dark, dark time

Rory Alsop

@Adi hahahahahaha

I had forgotten that

TildalWave

19:21

@Adi you know Adi can also be considered a female name, short for Adina :P

@Adi and Svetlana means "the bright one" so not really dark times

or "enlightened" ... meanings like that

Svetlana

Svetlana (Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian: Светлана; Belarusian: Святла́на; Ukrainian: Світла́на) is a common Slavic female name, deriving from the Slavic root свет svet, which translates into English as "light", "shining", "luminescent", "pure", "blessed", or "holy", depending upon context. The name was coined by Alexander Vostokov and popularized by Vasily Zhukovsky in his eponymous ballad, first published in 1813. The name is also used in Ukraine, Belarus, Slovakia, and Serbia, with a number of occurrences in non-Slavic countries. In the Russian Orthodox Church Svetlana is used as a...

Q: Obviously I'm a noob, and I don't want to waste your time

My wife had a affair a year and a half ago. Where I need someone's help is: She denies is but she has used some sort of code on my phone (Samsung Note 5) Some Web pages I cant load. Then my phone has a vpn I can't take off, my phone has been rooted, and I haven't done it. Ihave tried to factory r...

You know it's off to a bad start when you see the title. Yet I think it doesn't quite prepare for what's inside.

TildalWave

@Adi well, "she" (I'd look for Adam's apple LOL) is "blond" (obviously fake, as in AI)

Adi

@TildalWave I have no idea who you're talking about

I referenced the word "Svetlana" mentioned in the song. That's all

TildalWave

@Adi that one in the middle of the pic

Adi

19:35

I have no idea who that is

TildalWave

me neither

I thought it's Svetlana

Adi

My only memory of this song is hearing it on the radio when I was 13

TildalWave

I don't think I ever heard it before and I'm grateful for it :)

sounds like something you'd hear on those kind of raves where most would come there in their tractors LOL

Adi

I heard it a public transport bus

The driver seemed to be pretty much into it

MickLH

20:14

I always knew @kalina was a game developer...

Xander

20:25

@RoryAlsop I'd say SU, I think.

Thomas Pornin

20:53

@RoryAlsop I agree. That's either SO or Reverse Engineering, in my opinion. One could morph that question into something about privacy that could be appropriate for Sec.SE, but that would take some substantial word surgery.

Victor Lopez

21:29

I want to apologize, yesterday I was full of paranoia due to algorithm complexity and Big O Notations, sounds like a common stage nowadays.

Thomas Pornin

@VictorLopez Paranoia is indeed very common nowadays.
