US threatens to cut Pakistan aid following jailing of Osama bin Laden doctor by mlkgin worldnews

[–]malogos -1 points0 points ago

I don't know the full details of that situation, but undoubtedly the US has advocated the overthrow of the Cuban government on many occasions. We would side with Cuba's "terrorists".

Supposedly Pakistan is on our side and was trying to get Bin Laden themselves.

If no one is in the office making mistakes, the hackers might as well stay home as well.

False equivalency. The agent wasn't spying on the state of Pakistan, he was hunting down an international criminal. Pakistan was either complicit or incompetent.

Cybercrime "golden age" over in two years? Eugene Kaspersky thinks so. by error9900in netsec

Sorry, Eugene. Unless in Western Europe or extremely weak/poor, nations won't submit control of their networks to an extra-national body.

Two new suspicious domains showing up in my DNS logs by unquietwikiin netsec

[–]malogos 8 points9 points ago

What you probably should have done is just set them to alert for one day and get full content. That way you could analyze the actual traffic instead of just one anomalous analytic.

They are probably spam or something minor, but it could also be beacons associated with a Trojan infection. Randomly-generated domains are popular with both.

I thought the big-budget superhero movie was going to end without successfully defeating evil and without a lead-in for a sequel. Gosh-darnit!

Bush Found Guilty Of War Crimes by discocriscoin politics

In 2009, the ICC had a budget of $131M.

The DoD is about $500B. And it has eleven aircraft carriers.

Bring it on.

Sounds about right.

Congressman Duncan from Tennessee on why he voted Yes for CISPA by Xatanain politics

[–]malogos 0 points1 point ago*

I think that is due to the bill's critics coming in with preconceived notions that there should basically be no real regulations on the Internet and also of their misunderstanding of what legislation looks like and how it's interpreted. Obviously the Internet needs to stay free, but there is now a major reaction about any little thing that the government tries to do in that sphere. Obviously this is justified in many cases, just not this one.

I think the language of the bill is actually quite clear about cyber security and what that means. There might be some missing context about how this is exclusively national security issues. If you have a virus on your system or are uploading illegal media, that is not national security. The government acquiring that info without your consent would still be illegal and is clearly not the intent here.

In the same light, data shared by ISPs isn't going to be about their users -- it's going to be about keeping ISPs running in the face of a major compromise or overt attack. Keep in mind that many ISPs own and maintain the major Internet backbones that basically keep the country functioning at this point. So again, it's about their relevance to national security, not about citizens' personal activity.

Haha, not at all. They had slaves, bloodsport, a militaristic, expansive foreign policy, strict social classes, etc, etc.

Congressman Duncan from Tennessee on why he voted Yes for CISPA by Xatanain politics

[–]malogos 3 points4 points ago*

This definitely won't be the popular view in this subreddit, but being in the network security field myself, I do know a lot about this bill, and I support it. I work on this stuff every day.

The bill is focused solely on cyber security, a very large problem to the defense, energy, finance, and telecom industries. Although some of those companies do a great job on their own, others don't. We need to make sure they are protecting their services critical to national security and their customer's data without getting in their way. The vast majority would welcome the help, and the industries in question largely support CISPA.

As for privacy, the bill specifies protections - but even from a basic logic standpoint, no one trying to defend networks cares about your email or torrents. They add zero value to netsec, and as specified in the language of the bill, this info will not be shared.

This is not SOPA!

[–]malogos 10 points11 points ago

In their defense, each generation typically gets more socially liberal. Even talking about gay marriage wouldn't have even been an option for the WWII generation, even as we venerate them for everything else they accomplished. It just takes time (deaths) for these large cultural changes to happen.

This writer is more than a little bit biased against the military -- just look at every article he's ever written for Wired. And despite covering it that much, he still can't seem to summon anything other than conspiracy

Lithium goes through some interesting changes when you can see it burning in slow motion. by Disgodin videos

[–]malogos 1 point2 points ago

Apparently lithium, if you buy in bulk, is about $50/lb. So at a ton, that's going to look like roughly $100000 going up in flames.

Dick Durbin Emailed me back about CISPA by Daechirin politics

[–]malogos -3 points-2 points ago

His response or yours? This bill is demonstrably not about spying on US citizens, nor regulating the Internet. Everyone has jumped on this bandwagon without understanding the issue.

The terribleness of SOPA really ruined this whole process.
