No, Mr Rockefeller. GUNS should have never been invented. Sorry that you old fogies can’t grasp the concepts of basic security. There is no magic sauce that you can spread on your CPU to make it into a super hacker tool. We’re protected in the same way that going out and buying a rifle doesn’t suddenly turn you into a military grade killing machine. and even if it did, banning guns wouldn’t be the way to prevent that from happening.
LOL At the pentagon being attacked 3 million times day. More like 3 million times a second.
When I was in school learning all my PC security shits, we used to fuck around and trace route to Pentagon or FBI or CIA websites, or ping em constantly, just to be dicks
ironically, hotmail and a lot of microsoft sites and other genius sites, just flat out disable pinging. Never understood why the big guys didn’t disable it themselves
They may want it up for some reason. Meh. It does have a use. A single and kinda pointless use, but still. Maybe the only way .GOV admins know their web servers are up is to ping it? But yeah. Any sec admin worth his salt can set up rules to ignore ping requests from a certain IP range if too many request come within a certain amount of time. There’s a similar DDOS attack that will work even if you block the IP address, but I think it was fixed in a recent DNS patch. Don’t remember the details because it was really dumb.
Utilizing the PHONE BOOK, calling up a secretary and asking her for her login & password is far more dangerous to the target, far less dangerous for the attacker, and much quicker than trying traditional hacking. Social engineering FTW. :tup:
But of course, the news will have none of that sensibility. Oh noes! Teh cybar hackers in mah pee cee!
Naa, any logical person would disable the shit out of being able to be pinged. MUCH easier ways to see if a network is up. Look at ANON taking down the senate.
Although, to be honest, I get the feeling the GOOD juicy FBI/CIA servers don’t allow pinging. Although I have noticed if you tracert the CIA or FBI, you ALWAYS get sent through servers in Boston. ALWAYS.
lol yeah, I agree. Social engineering is beast. Look at HB Gary. Fucking security company compromised by a hacker who logs into their chats, and says 'oh shit, my passwords not working, did they get changed?" and lo and behold, he fucked em good
They were thrown out because they were breaking the law and a health hazard. Once you cross the line into illegal behavior and become a public hazard your ass has to go. In most cases these fucks were even warned before they were evicted that they were breaking the law, there was a hazard, and their camp was costing 100s of thousands in damages. Of course, these camps being full of idiots, they told the authorities to fuck off and went back to trying to change the world through drum circles and bad body odor.
It is my understanding that planets like Mars, jupiter, and even Venus have enjoyed not only decades, but entire centuries of peace.
That cop is looking like,“have your fun right now. The second that camera turns away, I’m gonna taze the HELL outta you bro…”
I took a look at the link. I cut out at the mention of…The “Guitarmy.” I’ll be in the back readying my escape ship. Please keep me informed of events here.
