Heads Up Poker Strategy Home > Poker Articles I can't get over how fun heads-up limit poker is. I used to play the limit single table tournaments all the time when no limit wasn't all the rage and filled with the fishies and somehow forgot about this little jewel in the rough. I think the best part about heads-up limit is that it really teaches you every single human aspect of limit poker in all it's glory. Aggression, hand selection, bluffing, trapping, reading, value betting, folding and lastly, pot odds. Probably in that order as well. Easy PHP Blackhole Trap with WHOIS Lookup for Bad Bots One of my favorite security measures here at Perishable Press is the site’s virtual Blackhole trap for bad bots. The concept is simple: include a hidden link to a robots.txt-forbidden directory somewhere on your pages. Bots that ignore or disobey your robots rules will crawl the link and fall into the trap, which then performs a WHOIS Lookup and records the event in the blackhole data file. Once added to the blacklist data file, bad bots immediately are denied access to your site. I call it the “one-strike” rule: bots have one chance to follow the robots.txt protocol, check the site’s robots.txt file, and obey its directives.
IPv6 Will Worsen the Spam and Malware Problems - Security Watch A very high percentage of the sites blocked by your security software for spam or malware are blocked on the basis of the reputation of the IP address on which they reside. A number of reputation services (Spamhaus, Phishtank, Google Safe Browsing API) provide information on whether sites are trustworthy. But John Levine, an architect of many Internet e-mail standards and author of The Internet For Dummies, points out that likely ISP practices for IPv6 will make these services useless. The entire IPv4 address space is 32 bits long and we're running out of addresses. The IPv6 address space is 128 bits which is a lot more than 4 times as big. It's an unimaginably large number.

Bringing Botnets Out of the Shadows - washingtonpost.com Nicholas Albright's first foray into some of the darkest alleys of the Internet came in November 2004, shortly after his father committed suicide. About a month following his father's death, Albright discovered that online criminals had broken into his dad's personal computer and programmed it to serve as part of a worldwide, distributed network for storing pirated software and movies. Albright managed to get the network shuttered with a call to the company providing the Internet access the criminals were using to control it. From that day forward, Albright poured all of his free time and pent-up anger over his father's death into assembling "Shadowserver," a group of individuals dedicated to battling large, remote-controlled herds of hacked personal PCs, also known as "botnets." Now 27, Albright supports his wife and two children as a dispatcher for a health care company just outside of Boulder, Colo. "The botnet is running a keylogger, and I see patient data," Albright said.
Securing Android LVL Applications [This post is by Trevor Johns, who's a Developer Programs Engineer working on Android. — Tim Bray] The Android Market licensing service is a powerful tool for protecting your applications against unauthorized use. The License Verification Library (LVL) is a key component. A determined attacker who’s willing to disassemble and reassemble code can eventually hack around the service; but application developers can make the hackers’ task immensely more difficult, to the point where it may simply not be worth their time. Out of the box, the LVL protects against casual piracy; users who try to copy APKs directly from one device to another without purchasing the application. Here are some techniques to make things hard, even for technically skilled attackers who attempt to decompile your application and remove or disable LVL-related code.
