chopsueyar··on How we found the file that was used to Hack RSA
Specifically for poisonivy, off the top of my head, I would run a virtualized instance of windows inside of a different OS, and then monitor all network activity between the virtualized OS and the host system and verify every IP it is connecting to during installation and once installed.

Maybe somebody else can jump in here and offer better advice?

Good one.
chopsueyar··on A Short Rant About Hosting
What if the person doesn't know exactly what it is that they need? I know a lot of people who know software but aren't as solid on knowing how to scale the hardware side. For those people a table isn't really helpful.

I don't think a salesman is the first person you want to talk to to help you in this regard.

Maybe we're on different pages, but in my fantasy both technologies convert energy into matter, not rearranging existing atoms into food.
chopsueyar··on The Due Diligence Survival Guide
What is the cost, from the potential buyer's perspective, of the 'due-diligence' process?

Also, how are you paid? Is it a flat-fee upfront? A percentage of the possible 'acquisition' amount?

If someone finds a way to cheaply produce Gold, most of our problems would be solved.

Once humanakind has the ability to cheaply produce elements, we can start building food replicators.

As Fox did in the Hulu circumstance.

He isn't paying Hulu per episode watched, only per month. Fox and Hulu still get their money.

But, by your logic, purchasing any non-expiring stored media, such as a DVD, would deprive "the content creator (well, a distributor) the chance to make money from you consuming the content at some point in the future."

You have a Porsche replicator?

Awesome!

Hulu does that AND still sticks commercials in, paid or not!
chopsueyar··on Thoughts on Picplum Automatic Photo Prints
I think you are on to something there with the 15 prints a month limit...

Figure out some way to create a scarcity of images, so only the worthwhile pictures are used/shown, not the 150-per-facebook album, as you mentioned.

Conversely, this is why the iPhone emulator is bad. If your apps run slowly on the iPhone, it appears "speedy" on the emulator.

You may instead want to try something like this:

It goes in a 5.25" bay and allows you to easily swap out 3.5" SATA drives. You could then have two SATA drives, one drive is your normal OS, and the other drive would have your muddying OS.

There is also virtualization. Not sure if that is an option for you.

Is it fairly common to forward port 80 to some higher level port, so the server can run as a non-root user?

I do it out of necessity, but have yet to play with the statistics portion of iptables.

Cool little article.
