VB just makes me go insane. In a bad way.

Rory Alsop

Evening all!

Lucas Kauffman

Evening @roryA

Rory Alsop

I missed a shedload of chat today I see - still trawling the transcript

Lucas Kauffman

Can we pull stats of the chat with that stackexchange app thingie?

Rory Alsop

@D3C4FF - just seen your sub pics. That's excellent - and much bigger than the pokey Oberon class one I was in...

@ScottPack Kerning game - depending on font I seem to get between 16 and 100... not my skillset :-)

Adnan

16:42

@RoryAlsop Why does this question have the dupe mark? security.stackexchange.com/questions/36986/…

Rory Alsop

@Adnan because someone has flagged it as a dupe :-)

Simon

I decided to listen to this stackexchange podcast thinking I wouldn't keep hooked up. Then, I remembered how much of a nerd I am.

Do you guys follow any security podcasts?

Adnan

@RoryAlsop Aha, so now it's like this. I thought it needs 5 votes to have the message at the top.

Rory Alsop

@Adnan Ah - dunno. I don't see that message :-/

Adnan

@RoryAlsop Aha.. so only I see it?

Rory Alsop

16:45

@Adnan not sure if only you - I know mods and 10k's see some items that others don't see, but we also have some information removed. Probably to clear space.

Simon

@Adnan, seems like it because I don't see it neither.

Adnan

Rory Alsop

@Simon Yes - a few. I'll go look out my list

Adnan

@RoryAlsop It seems that only the OP sees it.

Rory Alsop

@Simon - pauldotcom, f1nux and J4vvd are my most regular ones to watch/listen to

Simon

16:53

@RoryAlsop, I'll look them up, thanks.

Lucas Kauffman

Must...achieve...repcap...

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Here you go

Lucas Kauffman

thanks :D

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Let's just hope they don't take them back tomorrow

Lucas Kauffman

That would make me a sad panda

Rory Alsop

16:59

Panda Su

pandasu.co.uk

Rory Alsop

17:51

So the panda scared everyone away, eh - she's not a real bear, you know...

Adnan

@RoryAlsop Of course she's not a real bear. I can't see any crypto-related materials on her site.

Rory Alsop

@Adnan lol

Adnan

Because I'm really happy with my current work, this gives me a nice chance to do some experiments. I've applied to a security-related job completely on the basis of my degree and Sec.SE profile.

Let's see what happens.

Rory Alsop

@Adnan Best of luck!

Adnan

@RoryAlsop Thanks, I'm not planning to take the job even if they offer. I just want to see what kind of impact would my Sec.SE profile make. Mentions in the interview, experience perception, etc.

@RoryAlsop Oh yes, you have many teams under you. Would good profile (questions, answers..) here affect your opinion of a candidate?

adric

18:10

Sanity check please on security.stackexchange.com/questions/36993/… ?

Rory Alsop

@Adnan Yes, definitely. I do look at community involvement as a plus...

@adric As far as brute forcing a login, I don't think this will work - basically because the login requires quite a number of TCP packets each way so you need a successful handshake in order to get to the login itself

Lucas Kauffman

My chinese neighbours are fighting

sounds like a kungfu movie

Adnan

18:34

@LucasKauffman Record it and share it! What are you waiting for?

Lucas Kauffman

They stopped

Adnan

Awwwhh!

David

18:49

hallo

Gilles

@Adnan think of someone who starts reading the first sentence, especially if he's only seeing the beginning of your question on /questions or over RSS: “[Hypothetical question. Created to preserve my answer on this qustion]”. Yeah, yeah, but what's the question about, get to the point already. Plus think of the lasting value: in a year's time, who will care why you asked this?

I would have posted this as a comment

or maybe in small type at the bottom of the question, I should have done that

TildalWave

wassup?

Adnan

19:13

@Gilles Oh, alright. Much clearer now. Thanks.

TildalWave

19:24

@Adnan what is?

Adnan

19:52

@TildalWave Gilles edited my question and removed a note I had in it. I asked him why he removed it, and he answered me.

@David Hello!

TildalWave

20:20

@Adnan Got it. I didn't know what post you were talking about, but have later found it... ;)

David

@Adnan hello

Lucas Kauffman

20:59

upgrading from squeeze to wheezy looks like one dependency hell :/

TildalWave

21:31

bloody paranoid freaks!

Lucas Kauffman

@TildalWave who you talking to?

TildalWave

can we please have a RYOS (run your own scans) close vote?

Q: Is this website dangerous? It looks like one of the bitcoin wallet stealing websites people were talking about a few months ago

@LucasKauffman robots

meaning, me and @Adnan in this case... because we were naive enough to scan things for someone that has problems crawling the Internetz

Lucas Kauffman

Q: What are the recommandations for a secure password?

What are the stric requierements for a secure password in terms of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, ... ?

@copy It's called a yawn! ;)

TildalWave

Nothing

Nothing is no thing, denoting the absence of something. Nothing is a pronoun associated with nothingness. In nontechnical uses, nothing denotes things lacking importance, interest, value, relevance, or significance. the state of nonexistence of anything, or the property of having nothing. Philosophy Western philosophy Some would consider the study of "nothing" to be foolish, a typical response of this type is voiced by Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798) in conversation with his landlord, one Dr. Gozzi, who also happens to be a priest, However, "nothingness" has been treated as a serious su...

just thought of it... not entirely related ;) but I'm sure there's a wiki for NOOP too... must be a hell of a read :))

Adnan

22:29

Yaay! I've just started using Google Authenticator for my GMail and Outlook.com accounts. I hope I can get it to work with our TOTP.

Such a convenient 2FA piece of software!

TildalWave

@Adnan Top Of The Pops? :P

I know, I know... time based OTP

Adnan

@TildalWave Yup, and now it's time for me to hit the bed.

TildalWave

@Adnan G'night princess! Sleep tight... don't dream of TOTP, it's been hosted by Jimmy Savile!! :P

Adnan

@TildalWave Nah. I'll probably dream about the gazillion-line application that I have to switch from mysql_* to PDO.

TildalWave

@Adnan Jimmy Savile was a PDO :)))

ok go, it's almost 2am in Finland ffs!

AviD

22:45

@ScottPack @TerryChia @Rory and any other GoT fan... collegehumor.com/video/6894740/…

Rory Alsop

23:37

@AviD makes no sense to me. Not seen any GoT and don't know who this R.R. Martin guy is...sorry :-p

D3C4FF

@RoryAlsop That panda looks like my ex girlfriend xD

AviD

oops sorry, thought you were also a Throner.

D3C4FF

how goes it all?

Rory Alsop

@AviD nah - have seen ten minutes of episode 2 - it made no sense so I stopped. I would get them on DVD set, but the hype about the show just makes me go 'meh'

@D3C4FF hahahaha

Goffs!

D3C4FF

@RoryAlsop Yeah, she was ultra-goff

Rory Alsop

23:39

Well - finished work so is a belated bedtime...

nightall

D3C4FF

Cheeri-o @RoryAlsop

AJ Henderson

so I think I saw the epitome of awful website hacks

normally I just delete the barrage of e-mails with links to obviously compromised random internet sites, but today one got my attention

someone managed to hack a church and turned a link in to a porn site...

D3C4FF

@ScottPack read the image above

@AJHenderson Whahh? What do you mean?

AJ Henderson

@D3C4FF I got an e-mail that had a link to a compromised site. The site was a church website that had been hacked and set up to redirect to a porn site when I decided to investigate what had been done to the site

AviD

23:54

@AJHenderson I've actually seen that before...
