From almost a week ago, midway through my Christmas vacation, Betaworks announced the latest in a slew of great improvements to the Instapaper platform: Instapaper Daily. Although I cannot say it will replace Tweetbot or Reeder as one of my primary sources for news and articles to read, I really like this as a service and as an indicator of the direction Betaworks plans on taking Instapaper. In the past I have criticized Betaworks for bot..
Writer Pro - zacs.site - 12 years ago - eng
As soon as Information Architects released Writer Pro shortly before Christmas, I began collecting “ first look ” pieces after their phenomenal introductory video nearly caused me to shell out a hefty $40 to have the app on both my Mac and iOS devices sight on seen. Much more cautions after my poor experience with Coin though, I exercised a bit of restraint in choosing to wait until after Christmas to make my final decision. Nine days..
Defeating Internet Censorship with Dust, the Polymorphic Protocol Engine BRANDON WILEY RESEARCHER, STEP THREE: PROFIT! The greatest danger to free speech on the Internet today is filtering of traffic using protocol fingerprinting. Protocols such as SSL, Tor, BitTorrent, and VPNs are being summarily blocked, regardless of their legal and ethical uses. Fortunately, it is possible to bypass this filtering by reencoding traffic into a form ....

Prowling Peer-to-Peer Botnets After Dark TILLMANN WERNER CROWDSTRIKE, INC. Peer-to-peer botnets have become the backbone of the cybercrime ecosystem. Due to their distributed nature, they are more difficult to understand and contain than traditional botnets. To combat this problem, we have developed the open-source framework *prowler* for peer-to-peer botnet tracking and node enumeration. It combines efficient crawling strategies with t....

De-Anonymizing Alt.Anonymous.Messages TOM RITTER In recent years, new encryption programs like Tor, RedPhone, TextSecure, Cryptocat, and others have taken the spotlight - but the old guard of remailers and shared inboxes are still around.

For the truly paranoid, there is no communication system that has better anonymity ....

Hacking Driverless Vehicles ZOZ CANNYTROPHIC DESIGN Are driverless vehicles ripe for the hacking? Autonomous and unmanned systems are already patrolling our skies and oceans and being tested on our streets and highways. All trends indicate these systems are at an inflection point that will show them rapidly becoming commonplace. It is therefore a salient time for a discussion of the capabilities and potential vulnerabilities of these sy....
Many web developers know about SSL, but it is very common to see it only partially deployed, or not deployed where it should be. This basic guide on when and how to deploy SSL will help you avoid the most common mistakes. via A basic guide to when and how to deploy HTTPS — Erik Romijn.
On seeing WarGames for the first time in the 1980s, I wondered which magazine it was. Later, after seeing it on TV and on VHS/DVD, the same question kept nagging at me. I believed that I would one day get to the bottom of this matter. I correctly assumed that the magazine was a real world magazine with a fake advertisement added to it. Through some effort and persistence I finally achieved my goal on 2013-02-24 at 5:30pm.

Octopress and S3 I’ve finally moved this site over to Octopress and S3. There is a lot of work to be done, the most pressing of which is fixing leftover broken images, implementing code highlighting, and fixing some theme stuff (like the navigation links), but other than that it’s going ok. The move overall was pretty hassle-free with no real problems. I ended up with the following setup:
Hi Edg3e, I hadn't looked into using Voiceover to activate app switching and so on - that's... interesting. It takes away one of the few things I preferred about the Surface, whilst adding some of its own new annoyances. Progress, I guess? I sympathize with the copy and paste - often I wanted to take some text from the console and put it into a bug ticket; I ended up writing a small script that uses our bug tracker's API to add a comment ....

I think that turbolinks is great: it makes it easy to add AJAX PushState to your Rails Applications. The only problem with that is that we can’t use it any WEB application, because it’s a Ruby Gem. So I did some ugly-but-easy hacks and add it to this very site. I will describe the steps below.

Figure 1: Sample screenshot editing my .vimrc Vim is an excellent text editor. I've used it for many years and like most vim users, have collected a fairly large collection of settings in my .vimrc and learned how to grok my vim usage effectively through a lot of trial and error. To that end, I've tried to assemble a useful overview of my experience with vim. Foreword: Why? Why would you want to even put in the effort to ....
From a certain version of the “jetty” package in Debian Linux, if the web application didn’t start up (servlet init() throws an Exception), this error wasn’t logged anywhere. The solution is to install the libjetty-extra package. sudo apt-get install libjetty-extra It took some amount of experimentation to find the solution. I don’t know why you’d ever want to not log errors; i.e. why the logging of errors is an “extra”.
Recently, Phil Robertson of the sensational cable TV program Duck Dynasty has drawn quite a bit of flack for his very Christian views kept largely hidden until now through A&E’s refusal to air his more candid statements.

When I joined college I was a pretty bad swimmer. During freshman year I took some beginner/intermediate swimming classes and learned proper swimming technique for stomach crawl, breaststroke and butterfly. The next year I saw this class called Master’s swimming, spoke to the coach and signed up for it. I was by far the weakest swimmer in the class. Everybody else had great stamina and technique. We would do series of 50 metres swimming f....
Well, One Game a Month is done! I’ve managed to complete 12 games for the year. My motivation by the end was lacking, so I took it kind of easy this month and made a very simple and quick game called Simon Says . Last month’s game, 9 to 5 , took much longer due to the number of art assets required. I’ll write a proper post about the challenge, how everything went, etc later.
