I am looking to get feedback from INFOSEC professionals for a Master's Thesis project. The high level subject is on the development of a framework to protect application accounts on servers (as there seems to be no sets of requirements that take modern, distributed computing into account).
What...
I marked this as spam... lots of boloney, new user with no other positive participation, asks where he could post something that is poorly described then goes on to include a link to it anyway, the "research" survey is full of leading just like there is in those of actual service / product providers,...
and the way he describes his thesis makes it entirely unclear why such a survey is even needed (unless of course it's a product that needs to be marketed)
you might wanna mention something about considering becoming an active member here before having such requests for the community, so it doesn't look like "this is the right place" for just anyone butting in and ending up being a legitimate target for second guessing
but yeah, I'll just add a bit of scotch to my coffee and rather see how that goes :)
@Wally depends on your setup, some routers will let you do that but that won't help if you use your ISP's one... in OSes it's usually some system setting, e.g. in Windows you'll have to dig into the registry
@kalina nah I wasnt flirting really, I was misinterpreting your previous statement in a way that would lead to explicit inappropriateness, as opposed to just implied.
the fact that you think that I am still able to climb a tree with sufficent comfort to engage in any form of hanky panky, is even more flattering than the idea that she would ever agree
@TildalWave Weed isn't the thing you see on the interwebs dear, it doesn't make you stoned 420 n stuff, there are loads of different strains, all with different effects, "loads" n such..
@kalina why is that? :< that makes no sense... and i have been to the netherlands @TildalWave I had 3 hours to explore... i tried to explore erm... to hard... I was carried to the airport
Godwin's law (or Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"—that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.
Promulgated by American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990, Godwin's law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and...
At Amazon we take your security and privacy very seriously. As part of our routine
monitoring, we discovered a list of email address and password sets posted online.
While the list was not Amazon-related, we know that many customers reuse their
passwords on several websites. We believe your email address and password set was on that list.
@Telkitty two possibilities, one they have access to a breach that troy doesn't (haveIbeenpwned is a one man show), two that e-mail you got didn't come from amazon but from a scammer (It didn't have a link to click did it?)
Hello,
We're not able to provide the exact source or website that captured your information.
1. Go to Amazon.com, hover your mouse over the "Your Account" menu and select the
"Sign In" button
2. Click the link that says "Forgot your password?"
3. Follow the instructions to set a new password for your account
@Telkitty I would guess that since it contains DKIM signatures, it's probably legit. However, it would be better if those DKIM signatures were actually validated by your provider.
It would help if they also validated SPF.
Otherwise you can check all this stuff manually.
As for forging the email, if there is a mail server willing to transfer anything I can transfer any email I like.
SPF basically designates some servers as valid senders for a given domain, so if mail comes from a different server you can assume it is spam.
DKIM signs the email when being sent by a valid server, giving you added assurance the right server sent the email.
DMARC allows you to read feadback as to what other mail providers are seeing based on delivery from your domain and validate the above two.
@Telkitty well, one thing you can do is (ignoring the email link) go to Amazon.com yourself, directly, by typing it into a browser on a computer you are confident has no malware.
If they have required you reset your password you may find your old password fails.
