Comment Re:auto-hack or brute force? (Score 2, Informative) 310

The article mentions it does fuzz testing, so it'd be the former.

Actually, the article says it's used during fuzz testing, not that it does fuzz testing.

It's a Windows debugger extension that's used during fuzz testing[...]

It sounds more like an automated crash dump analyzer used after a fuzzer has caused the program to crash.

If power is lost at the right time, the same results would happen.

The right time being the hundredths of a second between the commit of the file data and the commit of the directory data, not 60 seconds.

No, not "hundredths of a second". Five seconds. Or 30 if you're using laptop mode.

I haven't used the Exchange plugin for Evolution, but I have used Evolution before. It was rather unstable for me too using IMAP and SMTP.

One problem with the Exchange plugin AFAIK is that it works by talking to Outlook Web Access. i.e. it does not talk to the server using the same protocols as Outlook itself uses.

If you read the bug and the comments you will see that the submitter was complaining about having to click through the "yes I really want to add this dodgy cert" process for every HTTPS site she visited. She thought this was just Firefox 3.0 being stupid. What was actually happening was that she was the victim of a MITM attack and the certs were actually bad. i.e. Firefox was working as it should and was doing everything it could to warn her of this possible MITM attack.

Since there was a MITM attack and no actual Firefox bug it was closed as RESOLVED INVALID.

I can't comment on the lack of comments at the time you posted, though :)
