    Parody of Diffie-Hellman

    I guess it could be a lot of things, but I was referring to the output of 'openssl dhparam -out dhparams.pem wxyz' in particular.

    Parody of Diffie-Hellman

    If you're new to PHP, here is a simple parody of Diffie-Hellman expressivity using for loops to get you started. Conversion to a bash script will not be very difficult and you'll be selling 'strong' encryption in no time! :) <span style='font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px;'> <?php //...

    IP leak affecting VPN providers with port forwarding

    Okay, so I wanted to ask this earlier but had to step out of the house for a bit. In what sense would the IP be 'revealed'? i.e. through a specific means of logging? Something else? Why not post the exact steps in this thread? Or a better question, who would the 'attacker' be in this context...

    Beware of IP justification and your personal data being abused

    Well I was going to add, as a VPS host who rents IP space from larger organizations, the only time 'my' IPs have ever appeared in blacklists is when the larger allocation—of which they were a subset—had been broadbrush listed, and never because of any spam being sent by my own clients. It became...

    Beware of IP justification and your personal data being abused

    Only provider that has ever made me fill out a form for IP justification was 'Quick Packet'. It was a goofy ass .docx template IIRC. Seemed to be more about information gathering than anything. That was last year and I had a server with them for only one month (never used in production, I...

    Beware of IP justification and your personal data being abused

    hahahah, yeah, tell that to the monopolists out there who hoard IP space, creating the illusion of 'depletion' and scarcity for the sake of marketing narratives. Guess the same shouldn't be expected of them? "You must use the IP space relatively soon, but us? Nah, we don't have to. We're the...

    Comcast begins man-in-the-middle attacks to showcase copyright notices

    "From residential ISP to black market identity broker in less than 10ms or your money back!" Seems astonishing to think of how long the internet has been around for and yet one still has to install and configure heaps of extra software for even the most basic protection.

    Comcast begins man-in-the-middle attacks to showcase copyright notices

    I was researching this today and found that Opera (browser I haven't really started using until recently) is really leak happy with DNS. Apparently older versions used to have a 'Use Remote SOCKS DNS Lookups' option in opera:config, but that isn't there now. I'm either blind or the feature has...

    Exchange rates

    The 'should' of it is probably up to PayPal (their house their rules and blah blah), I just don't understand the need for secrecy at that level. National currency exchange rates: Open & viewable to anyone Cryptocurrency exchange rates: Open & viewable to anyone PayPal's currency exchange...

    Exchange rates

    Seems ridiculous to have to use an 'API' (needs special 'developer' credentials and blah blah blah) for something like exchange rate data. There's seriously nothing publicly available? I grimly lol'd

    Exchange rates

    So I've coded the VPS resources on ...'s order form to update in sync with the movement of various currency exchange rates. I pay for services in CAD and GBP and sell in USD, so my expenses are constantly shifting. Since 'exchange rate' data is publicly available, it was relatively easy to...
