Interesting article here about the future of secure computing. Basically, this guy wants to start over and redesign hardware (and software) from...
Please. I have never seen any configuration file clutter on Linux. My /home directory looks the same now as it did a year ago.
That's where the confusion lies. The Windows "firewalls" like ZA and others are not really firewalls but more of HIPS systems. That is, they...
It depends on what you are wanting to encrypt.
There are plenty of examples of LSM bypasses. LSM includes SELinux, AppArmor, SMACK and others. How is this possible? Because LSM runs in the...
No one talked about computers? No one talked about software? What do you think AppArmor is? It is software that runs on a computer. I don't...
According to you, no computer on earth has ever been cracked. No software has any vulnerability. It is all made-up and science fiction. It...
Re: New "Surveillance-Proof" App To Secure Communications Has Governments Nervous I am not going to say that NSA has backdoors in consumer...
It's necessary because the Chrome-sandbox has to have root to actually go into sandbox mode. Once it chroots it then drops those privileges....
I know what shellcode is, bro. I didn't ask for a definition. I said I can't read assembly (which is what shellcode is). Most people don't know...
There's no speculation. Chrome is more secure by default than Firefox mostly because of its sandboxing technology which Firefox doesn't have.
Re: New "Surveillance-Proof" App To Secure Communications Has Governments Nervous Phil Zimmermann has said he plans to release all...
Re: New "Surveillance-Proof" App To Secure Communications Has Governments Nervous CALEA does not require software to have intercept...
You could do the same with Minix or L4 or pretty much any microkernel. Most microkernels are designed by the Principle of Least authority (POLA)....
Was just about to post this. According to Shamir and his co-author (Shamir is one of the best cryptographers in the world), there are some...
Re: New "Surveillance-Proof" App To Secure Communications Has Governments Nervous Yeah, implementation is everything. One good thing about...
Speak of the devil. I just saw an article published yesterday about a new pacemaker hack. He can deliver a 830 volt shock to the pacemaker,...
I read their page about the goals of this OS and it sounds like they are simply reinventing the microkernel. If you are not familiar with...
I don't think they are talking about pace makers here. I think they are talking about monitoring machines like heart and oxygen monitors (you...
Stop installing suspicious apps and you wont get malware on your Android phone. Get back to me when there are drive-by's in the wild for Android....
Yeah. There's also this paragraph: So basically government regulations stop them from securing their machines. Typical government BS...
True unless you use a filesystem like ZFS which prevents such corruption all together.
That's some nice shellcode there. Unfortunately I can't read assembly and I have no idea exactly how it works.
I don't think so. Chrome wins the security battle hands down, even on Linux.
As a very privacy conscious person, I don't see a big deal with this. Canonical needs revenue, so I am willing to tolerate Amazon searches. If...
Separate names with a comma.
