[FairfieldLife] Hackers
As soon as you access the internet data highway with your computer, security is out of the question. The ideal and secure computer is a system without any contact to the outside world - no disks, no flash drives, no CD-DVD drives, or cameras and no direct contact to other computers by modem or network card or cable. Many people do not realize that a computer connected to the internet reveals details about their personal life: who they are, where they work, where they go, who they visit, and their surfing habits. It's all there - housed as digital information at a data center somewhere. Most hacker exploits wouldn't be a problem if programmers were a bit more diligent in their coding. strcpy () is your enemy, strncpy () is your friend.

One of the favorite tactics of internet pranksters and hackers is to 'raid' a forum or site, essentially overwhelm it with negative rantings in large numbers, just for kicks - lulz. According to what I've read on 4chan /b/, the Anonymous Group will conduct a major DDoS, even bigger than the attack on the Church of Scientology, which was called Project Chanology. Thank God respondents are allowed unlimited posts per week on Yahoo! FFL, or else we'd be hacked and shut down by the pirates and the hackers - we've got to defend ourselves or it's chaos. It seems to me that most of these hacker exploits wouldn't be a problem if moderators were a bit more diligent in their moderating and security: strcpy () is your enemy, strncpy () is your friend. Go figure. This is another one of those books that needs to be on a mandatory reading list for all IT Security bachelors degrees. Yes, I've got the book and the degree, and that's probably the main reason I'm still alive and posting. Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at all the world's biggest companies - and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide and seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes - and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their their most sensitive information. With an introduction by Steve Wozniak. 'Ghost in the Wires' by Kevin Mitnick Back Bay Books, 2011
[FairfieldLife] Hackers, was You are bought and sold by your masters every day...
emptybill: You are bought and sold by your masters every day... You simple nerd - I already posted this information. You're just taking up band-space now. Why are you so paranoid - if you haven't done or said anything illegal, what are you worried about? So, you broke the internet netiquette on FF - so what, it's not the end of the world. LoL! You newbies need to get some smarts about the texting on social networks ALWAYS boot up your laptop with a command line Linux shell using a 32 gigabyte micro-SD card. Then, you need to get yourself a proxy server, or at least set up a VPN to connect a small LAPTOP with your home desk top computer running LINUX - never reveal your IP address or Who-Is location. Always use a free text editor like EditPad. Never install Apple, Microsoft, Norton, Kaspersky, or McAfee programs!!! Maintain a log of every post you make and copy all your data to the SD card, ENCRYPT it, (never save your data on your desktop hard drive). Hide the micro-card inside a cracked and flashed, cheap flip phone - don't tell ANYONE where the micro-card is, EVER. Conceal the phone in your underpants. When you log on to the internet to send your one-line text messages, always use an anonymous login. NEVER sign up to any site using your real name, reveal your age or gender, or your past exploits. Tips: 1. Don't sit at the same table in the same coffee shop every day. 2. Drive a sleeper car, like a white van and tinted windows, with a V-8 under the hood. 3. Always pay your student loan to Sallie Mae using a money order and snail mail. 4. When you go out in public always wear shades, a black T-shirt and old blue jeans and running shoes. 5. Take a computer course at a community college. 6. Avoid getting any tattoos on your body or piercings that can identify you.

Of course paranoid FFLers will probably think they will be arrested just for watching it. :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-uwbrqFN7M So how many laws did you break today? Most people break about 20 every day without even knowing it. Of course the lame way our government (both local, state and federal) is they pass new laws without rescinding obsolete ones. Gotta show I'm doing somethin' to get re-elected, yook, yook.

Usually if my avatar is showing when I enter a comment I'm logged in. The avatar was showing and when I clicked post this red banner shows up about authenticating. Annoying. So I go to a link where I authenticate through Yahoo. This usually works but today it throws an error. I hate DISQUS and I think it is lazy web sites that use it. I'm beginning to wonder if they are spies for DHS.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Hackers
Maybe they're spies for the Chinese too. And the Illuminati. They all want to know what we're up to (-: I just assume that if I post or email, anybody who wants to see it, can see it. Makes life simpler that way. But really, all those spies need to a GET A LIFE!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Hackers
I actually got a reply back from DISQUS support and they mentioned that third party cookies need to be enabled. Which they were. I think there was some problem with DISQUS this morning because when went back to the news item there were no additional comments from the time I was there. Also trying to relink with DISQUS through Yahoo threw a bug and still does this afternoon. Thing is rather than just set up an account with DISQUS I want to continue using the way I've been posting since I can't transfer the old one into a new DISQUS account.
