FBI fingering Norks for Sony hack: The TRUTH – by the NSA's spyboss

Good analogy

That's a pretty much excellent analogy..

"Yes, dear, that's what happens when you spew lie after lie, get found out and then lie about that, get found out again and lie about that. Then lie to the elected representatives of your own citizens, get found out, lie about it and then do it again."

Couldn't put it better myself it's like all this crap where they spew on about none of the systems they've got are actually secure. There called Standards for a reason, people that read and understand RFC's know what those standards are, if you can't operate a system that conforms to ANSI/ISO 17024 instead of a POSIX based hobby operating system an if they're incapable of making the distinction between the two: Like for example: STRATFOR (running OpenBSD) and they're epic failure when targeted by hack'ta'vista's then that's not really everybody else's problem.

That's "there" problem for hiring someone who claimed they knew what those standards where in the first place and then failed epically at there role as a security administrator. But I digress maybe there system's where left vulnerable after a shoddy "SSL update" with NSA/Inside!

But in all a good catch, that if they knew Sony had a problem and then sat there twiddling there thumbs, whilst proclaiming the rest of the interwebs are seedy and dark and filled with botnet's who are we to argue, I mean only 750'000 of those botnets are probably under there own control.

Pentagon 'network intruder', dozens more cuffed in British cops' cyber 'strike week'

Re: Prolly Broke Their Back, Eh?

I don't know if you watch the TV much Walter, but I enjoy watching it quite a bit, an I realize there are manipulative people out there in the big wide world, that like to try and manipulate things for there own ends, for example did you see the conversation between the guy from the spy agency and the guy's from the cryptographically security spectrum? If not you missed out on some pure arrogance! The guy sat there telling developers that come from all walks of life and from various parts of the world out of a global community of computer developers, that he needed back-doors into cryptography and that if he wasn't given them that he'd make that decision for them, now I'm sorry but that to me scream's pure ignorance and arrogance of why we have cryptographic standards in the first place. Not only that but this repeated hacking activity they've decided to engage themselves in is illegal on so many front's I don't even know where to start, for one thing SIP as a protocol is not some great big secret SIPRnet and neither is regular IP traffic NIPRnet, if they have a hard time distinguishing that fact then Christ know's what they'd make of UUCP as a protocol. But it's easy to see how they come to some conclusion's about the legal aspects because they're surrounded by people that for want of a better word are called "enablers" and that's like me going off and writing a really vicious virus and selling it on afterwards, oh sure i'll profit, they'll profit but in the end, it flys in the face of everybody else who knew better in the first place. It's like a huge slap to every person in the computer industry that you've got these guys coming along thinking that what they're doing is perfectly ok. Nationalist for a start, they don't like foreigners and to cap it off, nearly every piece of software that they are abusing was written in part by Foreigners from around the globe! That's why it's called a global community, so before you enter the computer community with idea's of being some kind of enabler, take a step back and remember your decisions impact not just one of two countries, but upset years of hard-work everybody else has done to build and help that community grow and if they're sitting there lying about how they're computers are not so secure, an you know what, if you feel you can do better then be our guest!

Default Password

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the default secure socket password to every iOS and apple iPhone still set-up as "Alpine"

Dow Jones

Look at Apple up there ranking in as the number one tech provider for the Dow Jones, never fear your stocks and shares are safe here, just as soon as we figure out how to take care of that pesky lack of Unicode support and wash away all memory of people saying things like, we needed these powers to stop terrorism, not influence the stock market!

To Quote a Spy & thinking about the 'XNU Kernel' - "I had the authority to wiretap anyone anytime..."

Good to know, so your telling us we should be looking at the terminal capture and refresh rate's closely then? An let's not forget it's apple and bug fixes take a while! ;)

As usual the best of being British and democracy prevails... Freaky SSL making it's rounds an all.

Re: Prolly Broke Their Back, Eh?

Hooking them up-to Car batteries? Oh so your one of those guys who mandates torture? Until it blows up in our faces? What part of having the evil Microsoft Empire pre-load its broken browser full of security bugs, such as the Windows Scripting Host, Javascript Eval & Fetch Functions, Unified Global Policy controls and ActiveX getting fined $756 million for anti-trust practices did you miss? Not to mention which part's where you unclear about, when the lead developer for Linux jokes about a backdoor in his OS? It's worth noticing that Apples iOS uses the XNU Kernel from the GNU and Google's Android uses the Linux kernel. So if we're talking about Kernel level back-doors, then that explains a hell of a lot about insider trading and why SystemD is suddenly turning Linux into a Windows Clone, notice the shift in policy from Microsoft "Linux is a Cancer!" suddenly its "We Love Linux!" well sad to say I no longer love either Linux or BSD and have gone back to using MSDOS with Novell Netware and some minor hacker modifications and even managed to dig up an old copy of Unix version 7, you know that really old OS that used to tell it's users they where a Console and nothing quite as fancy as a Root user? Oh and it even compiles all my Unix programs with a standard cc compiler and not the gcc which is prone to bugs. If people run garbage like Apache and active scripting components, then they deserve to be hacked for being so retarded in the first place!
