Introducing the #CCDP-compliant “SpookBox 5000” for the implementation of the #SnoopersCharter
Here’s an interesting thought for all of us on CCDP-day: It’s obvious to geeks that the equipment which performs CCDP-mandated logging will have to be: a synthesis of hardware and software reasonably standardised reasonably secure (doubtless the Home Secretary will say “very secure”) permit secret-but-authenticated access to the police, security services and council dog-catchers to…

When I wrote Crack I could make three password guesses per second; @BrianKrebs readers plz note #security #hashcat
I published the first modern password cracker in 1991; the first with dictionary generation, the first with networking, the first with a fast crypt() implementation and (eventually) the first with a vector-friendly (and network-authentication capable) pluggable API, although this was originally meant for bitslicing rather than GPU which eventually superseded real vector processors.[1] But when…

Still better than the time Sun ran a bunch of employees through the Army assault course and broke two (three?) legs, several arms and a number of tissue injuries… There are presentations, and then there are presentations.
