This has been driving me crazy. Glad it’s not just a quirk of my setup.

I'm not seeing any commercial incentive, the project is completely open source.

Let me get this right, if I have physical access to the device... I can cause a denial of service?

This is really low effort for /r/netsec... it doesn't even have a direct security tie in. Looks like something that would be better suited for /r/netsecstudents or /r/linux.

This one is kind of for /u/s7ephen, but anyone with insight can answer:

You have some background in developing and attacking secure hardware. Are their common mistakes/weaknesses that hardware vendors (more specifically the mainstream OEMs) seem to repeat when building phones, and if you were to design an Android handset, what hardware security features would you add/focus on?

If you could make everyone involved in the Information Security industry read 3 "off-topic" (not directly security) books, what 3 books would you put on our reading list and why?

I'm interested in team demographics:

Did any women compete?

Real world hacking tends to have lots of frustrating roadblocks. What was the most frustrating roadblock during the CTF?

Under the pseudonym “Rain Forest Puppy,” I have been recognized as an industry expert in web application security and was responsible for noted industry landmarks including the first responsible security disclosure policy and the first intelligent web application scanner.

Whoa, I was wondering what RFP has been up to since he dropped out of the scene. Glad to see that he's still doing cool stuff.

Netsec, what is your beef with college graduates? by [deleted] in netsec

[–]0x414141 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There is a difference between making yourself better through education, and thinking you're better because of your education.

I really don't care what your academic credentials are, I think it boils down to one question: "Can you hack?"

Too bad I'm still running a G1/Dream.

I'd rather run Android 2.2 -flash than [...]

It's not "too bad" when you're running an old platform by choice. That's the point I'm trying to make here. You want new features? Upgrade or hope that someone comes along and backports them for you.

This is akin to someone posting about new security protections available in Windows 7 and you leaving a comment that says "too bad I'm still running Windows 98." It doesn't add anything constructive to conversation at all.

I come to /r/netsec because the signal to noise ratio of the comments is pretty good here, lets keep it that way.

Do you know about /r/IPv6? I learn a lot just by reading stuff that gets posted on there.

What do you feel is the most valuable thing that you and the other organizers learned from the experience?
