@JourneymanGeek Huh. This never occurred to me in so many words, but of course you are extremely right. Perhaps that is why it is a worthy challenge for me.
nad yes, of course we have a theme tune. Don't you hum it all the time??
@MarkBuffalo I have followed links to funny things there previously - and my brain totally fails to see how anything works there. Never saw anything bad (if we exclude scurrilous pics of ladies with minimal clothing) but also never figured out how to use it so I gave up. Seemed like the worst possible example of usability for a social media site.
im still trying to work my way through the hackers play book .... crypto course? thats cool, I just finished my japanese course and im currently on my teacher trainning course... there are no night time courses in my area for computing so i decided to become a teacher at a school at night times to teach programming :P
yea i have this one as well bought them as a set of 3... i will read them one day i just find it difficult to study so much and work... which is why i want to get a job in security so i can develop as a work :3 (maybe i am just a dreamer)
@Simon Yea i know :< i know a fair amount! just its patchy.. Im a developer with a networking degree, that normally makes peoples eyes fill up with dollar signs $_$
@silverpenguin B-sides confs are free (but london tickets are sold out) so you need to get in early when the tickets go up. 44con ain't free but not hugely expensive (compared to blackhat etc)
@RоryMcCune im actually in buckinghamshire! but i am willing to travel for events, im going to have to do some more research on these things it appears
@silverpenguin np, I've been around the UK conf. scene for a while, so tend to know which ones are happen'.. it's nice these days that there are good conf's 5+ years ago there were hardly any
@RоryMcCune as i said before i am trying to get into the scene, though my knowledge is patchy. I am serious about it but as a full time dev who is married to the job its kind of hard to change course. I have always loved security but there were no courses as my choice of uni so i just did networking as a premptive
I am looking into something for work and I need to know what type of flash-memory storage is most common in digital cameras so we can look into how to properly eradicate all of the data on the cameras's internal storage. I understand that there is more than likely not just one type of flash-memor...
Otherwise, no. NAND flash is NAND flash. The internals might be different (ex 3D lattice arrays or something) but the actual interface as far as a CPU sees it will be no different.
@DavidFreitag I'm going to guess that if someone wants to know about the internal types of storage, they probably want to know the internal details, or that they are way out of their depth. One of the two..
@Matthew I know. A question that I answered has been edited by a fairly high rep user (~8k). I think that the edit has changed what was asked and should have been an answer. I am fairly new and was unsure what to do. My Answer was right before but now is wrong.

@Simon Anyone willing to give up there time to manage this site, which often seems to be comprised of psychotic kinder-gardeners, is by definition awesome.
I just spent 5 minutes trying to write a well formed suggestion to an answer poster. I think i deserve a cookie. didn't delete or edit his answer but allowing him to do it him self... because im a humanatee
@Ohnana I had to reject an edit the other day because someone decided to paste a whole paragraph of something in from somewhere which held technically content but felt random
As @Simon is well aware, I have never insulted his mother - I'm sure she's lovely, if a little difficult to get on with sometimes, but who isn't, truthfully?
Curiously, I have noticed that my laptop is loaded with msmpeng.exe. Internet says that this is a Windows Defender and I can turn it off. I dediced to do that but Windows Defender says that it is off and another program is managing spyware. How is that?
@ValentinTihomirov I don't know off the top of my head, but it may be like the Windows Firewall Service, where the service runs even if the Windows Firewall is turned off in favor of a third-party HBFW. You can always check the properties of the exe to verify a) what it claims to be and b) that it's signed by Microsoft.
@ValentinTihomirov You can also use autoruns to figure out how it's starting up, and that may give you clues as to why.
