Most firewalls DROP by default so most scripts are designed to only try connecting a couple times. If you REJECT, they'll think that the port is *normally* open and try other things (such as hitting you again later).

There are a lot of utilities that convert log files (from Apache for instance) to databases and perform data mining on them but there are still a lot of services that do not yet have these tools. This would make for an interresting database project as you could do a lot of really complex queries and have it create human readable reports.

I can't imaging a thief thinking any store in this day and age won't have a camera on somewhere.

Xzibit, is that you?

If your bank even ALLOWS you to log in without https, change banks NOW.

If it's tailored to bank-credential stealing, taking screenshots on each mouse click isn't exactly out of the question.

If you've got root, would you bother with HTTP interception at the network level?

Little hint about cameras. Keep the ceiling ones for large coverage, but keep a few about 4 feet off the ground facing the entrance to catch good face shots of people coming in. Should be fairly easy to hide inside a display or counter. I remember hearing about a bunch of thugs that destroyed the window display of a camera shop. Turned out the owner always left 2 or 3 of the display cameras recording (wired to a remote recorder) at night and got REALLY good shots of their faces!

Pfff, writing Linux kernels in Javascript is so last century. Nowadays we RUN kernels in Javascript!

REJECT tells them you've detected them, the not-so-dumb ones will use this against you.

Apparently last time Canada was on the list, it was at the backroom REQUEST of Canadian officials so they would have a "reason" to push anti-privacy- um, uh, I mean anti-"piracy" laws. I highly doubt our country's leaders will try to explain why we are on there this time.

2013 called and emacs users still want a text editor.

He was able to access multiple patients' records using one patient's username & password. That should NOT be allowed by the system in any way.

Which scans in a horizontal area, detecting meteors requires something than scans a *volume*.

Ah, that explains why my laptop (IPS) looks just as good in portrait (well, 95%, but barely noticeable).
