Slowloris is HTTP-based, right? In this case I'm not sure they didn't even have to go up to that layer 7, it seems they had some generous time-outs for TCP and SSL idle (or incomplete) sessions
Applied on LinkedIn for about a month, did phone interviews for 5-6 different roles. Failed some and passed some others. From the ones I passed I rejected some, others rejected me after finding a local candidate and finally I accepted an offer.
Most businesses have broken websites. I like to show this to whoever wants to break into IT and thinks there's too many clever people already working on it :)
Yesterday a friend ordered a sofa from a well known online retailer in the UK, then chose to finance it 12 months 0% APR. The retailer site sent him to a very well known bank's website, pre-filing part of the finance form with things they had already like forename and surname. Except he's Spanish and the site wrote his middle name and both surnames in the non-editable surname field.
Once he finishes filing the form with all the addresses he lived in the last 3 years he clicks on "continue" and is greeted with a "surname is in the wrong format" message.
Remember, that filed is non-editable and it's pre-filled by the retailer's website; so he effectively can't do nothing at all about it.
Conclusions?
1) This is living proof that diversity is a business advantage (they lost at least one £1200 sale).
2) The Internet is stupidly broken.
3) People working in IT is as clever or as stupid as anyone else.
Back in the early 2000's there was this driver/library to output any graphics in ASCII instead of framebuffer or whatever.
A colleague had a Linux box at home with a TV Tuner PCI card. We would SSH from the University's lab and watch TV-on-ASCII-over-SSH to the amusement of the people around us.
Sounds so simple and silly today, but it was a fun way to learn back in the day :)
That would have been interesting, if a bit rehashy.
This is a guy blurfing at length about text game design. The "Skyrim" is just thrown in there as a callback to something recognizable but has almost zero to do with Bethesda's game.
It might have got most of GBPEUR retail, but the vast majority of that flow by volume is traded in placed like Interactive Brokers, or over the phone between guys who need to swap a few million here and there.
Come on, I have no sympathy for NK's regime, but that's victim blaming.
The threat is "baiting someone into nuclear war" and not "having tens of thousands of nuclear warheads and being ready to use them to kill millions of people"? Give me an effing break mate :)
