Comment Dupe from 2015? (Score 1) 175

Same two authors wrote an article from 2015 with the same intent.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news...

and a great retort from that 2015 article https://www.grahamcluley.com/k...

I would like to see an actual evidence based reason before I put Kaspersky on my shit list (Russia is already on it). Working with a government to track down DDoS attackers is not a low point for a security company.

In Texas, when I took my Engineer-In-Training (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam we had at least 2 tests to choose from, one for Civil Engineering and one for General Engineering. The general exam could not later qualify for a Civil PE and practice in that field, so that is not correct in Texas and I assume elsewhere.

Comment Re: ssh into kpcli (Score 1) 206

for fun I put this in my ~/.bash_login /home/uname/kpcli-2.8.pl --kdb=/home/uname/pass.kdbx || /home/uname/kpcli-2.8.pl --kdb=/home/unamepass.kdbx ||
( echo "FAILED LOGIN -`date`." >> FAILED_LOGIN && exit )

its not really secure because of scp/sftp can bypass bash.

also sudo crontab -e
30 4 * * * apt-get update && apt-get -y -d upgrade > /dev/null && echo "sucess! -`date`." >> /root/upgrade

and watch the logs.

I watch the logs its amazing how many attempts to access root their are these days. But ssh is as secure as you could ever hope to be if set up correctly, and its a bare bones, plus I do have added lockout protections above the normal ssh config stuff. Having your passwords on multiple computers (work/home) is a must, and 1 password to rule them all is stupid. I see no other choice.
