The Internet I Knew. Today the upstart social networking site Ello reaffirmed their promise to never sell user data or ads.
Which is good for them, I suppose, but the following line from their announcement made me frown: With virtually everybody else relying on ads to make money, some members of the tech elite are finding it hard to imagine there is a better way.But 2014 is not 2004, and the world has changed. We... we had ad-free social networking in 2004. It was called "one of your friends got a Dreamhost and put some forum software on it and everyone hung out there. " If the website got really big and popular, maybe the owner would ask for donations from the users, and usually folks would give enough to keep the place afloat, because everyone wanted to keep hanging out there. Linux Commands In Structured Order. Sideways Dictionary. Port. How SSH Port Became 22 The default SSH port is 22.
It is not a co-incidence. This is a story of how it got that port. I (Tatu Ylonen) haven't told it before. The Story of Getting SSH Port 22 I wrote the initial version of SSH (Secure Shell) in Spring 1995. Anyway, I designed SSH to replace both telnet (port 23) and ftp (port 21). The basic process for port allocation was fairly simple at that time.
To me Jon felt outright scary, having authored all the main Internet RFCs! Anyway, just before announcing ssh-1.0 in July 1995, I sent this e-mail to IANA: From ylo Mon Jul 10 11:45:48 +0300 1995 From: Tatu Ylonen <ylo@cs.hut.fi> To: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority <iana@isi.edu> Subject: request for port number Organization: Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Dear Sir, I have written a program to securely log from one machine into another over an insecure network. WiFi Pineapple - Home. Norse Attack Map. Eyes Above The Waves: Disable Your Antivirus Software (Except Microsoft's) I was just reading some Tweets and an associated Hackernews thread and it reminded me that, now that I've left Mozilla for a while, it's safe for me to say: antivirus software vendors are terrible; don't buy antivirus software, and uininstall it if you already have it (except, on Windows, for Microsoft's).
Update (Perhaps it should go without saying --- but you also need to your OS to be up-to-date. If you're on Windows 7 or, God forbid, Windows XP, third party AV software might make you slightly less doomed.) At best, there is negligible evidence that major non-MS AV products give a net improvement in security. More likely, they hurt security significantly; for example, see bugs in AV products listed in Google's Project Zero. These bugs indicate that not only do these products open many attack vectors, but in general their developers do not follow standard security practices.
Untitled. Robert O’Callahan ist ehemaliger Entwickler bei Mozilla und hat sich als solcher offenbar über Jahre auf die Zunge gebissen, aber nachdem er letztes Jahr bei Mozilla aufgehört hat, sah er sich letzte Woche genötigt einen Blogbeitrag zu verfassen, der ihm wohl lange auf der Seele gebrannt hat: Robert O’Callahan: Disable Your Antivirus Software (Except Microsoft’s) Natürlich gehören zu der Überschrift ein paar Einschränkungen, so kann man Antiviren-Software (womit hier grundsätzlich jede Software gemeint ist, die das Eindringen von Schadsoftware in das eigene System verhindert oder verspricht dies zu tun und über ein reines Scannen des Dateisystems hinaus geht) von Microsoft nur nutzen, wenn man eben auch Windows nutzt.
Er hat dann auch in einem Update noch einmal deutlich gemacht, dass diese Aufforderung nur für aktuelle Systeme gilt, die auch auf dem aktuellen Stand gehalten werden. Schlangenöl? Wobei es ja schon ein Fortschritt wäre, wenn diese Produkte nur wirkungslos wären. Und ihr so? C3TV - 33C3: works for me.
