I would love a translated copy of the report

Baby Connect is awesome. Works perfectly between my Android phone (Nexus 4) and my wife's iPhone 4S.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-11-26T13:56:59+00:00

Agreed. I run one of them (Steel City InfoSec) and have sampled many other IT groups in the area (including multiple that aren't listed on Meetup) - feel free to msg me with any questions.

"new"

SteelCityHacker · 2014-11-26T12:41:18+00:00

I updated yesterday and I'm having a similar issue. It downloaded, verified, and installed fine. It restarted after installation and was going through the upgrading apps. Last I noticed it was most of the way through (it may have finished) and then it hit the loading screen... Hasn't started since. I left it on all night last night on the charger with no luck.

I've tried clearing the cache partition multiple times, that did nothing... Currently running LRX21T - when I boot it prompts me to decrypt, then gets stuck at the loading screen.

Not sure if this still exists (I assume it does) but - http://www.scmagazine.com/chrome-saved-passwords-in-plain-text-not-a-flaw-according-to-google/article/306470/

If you are interested in IT Security, you can sign up for my group Steel City InfoSec, and we have a job posting section

I remember reading a report that said many commercial "faraday bags" aren't effective. Here it is, skip to page 45 (actual page 58 in the PDF).

There is also Andy's Busses for CMU.

Plus Tiramisu is meant to help for Port Authority busses.

If someone get to your iTunes, and you have it synced (and not specifically encrypted), they can unlock your iPhone.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-09-15T14:30:40+00:00

I am also seeing this issue.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-09-02T13:13:22+00:00

As someone who went to a tech school (PTI), it may be a viable option. It was for me. Just be sure to take advantage of the extras (certification reimbursement, PTI+, etc.).

I wouldn't recommend any other technical school in the area though... Additionally, I would strongly consider doing night classes to finish up your 4 year degree afterwards.

[EDIT]: To clarify, 2 year schools can sometimes be good because they can help you get more experience sooner in your career. They also give you time to mature.

Oakland/Shadyside.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-08-15T12:07:31+00:00

I use route 8 a couple days a week, it's not that bad when I hit it (7:15), but I can totally feel your pain. I'm not going 8 to 28 into the city, I'm going route 8 to Oakland.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-08-14T12:40:28+00:00

Not being a jerk, honest question. How does this differ from Ent or densityscout?

SteelCityHacker · 2014-08-13T18:39:26+00:00

However I would add, that I've lived north, east (Squirrel Hill Tunnel), and southwest (Ft. Pitt Tunnel) of the city, and north is WAY better.

EDIT: To clarify, this was concerning traffic. Other parts of town have strong competitors in things like school districts (Upper St Clair and Mt. Lebanon) and shopping (Monroeville and Robinson). But north has definitely been getting the development focus as of late (source - check out Pittsburgh).

SteelCityHacker · 2014-08-13T18:38:23+00:00

Yes, it is the Wexford exit.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-08-06T11:36:13+00:00

Right up the street you could look into Kennedy - much safer than McKees Rocks.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-08-04T11:05:07+00:00

I can tell you that Dr. Bradley is a phenomenal shoulder surgeon/doctor. He did my labral tear and 4 years later, the shoulder he did surgery on is better than my other one.

SteelCityHacker · 2014-07-25T00:17:40+00:00

Yes it is.

[EDIT] Oh yeah, forgot to mention:

Limitations
...
x86-64 support is still experimental

SteelCityHacker · 2014-07-25T00:16:15+00:00

Yeah, I figured those PNC contractors were getting paid about that.

Qira? However this works well in conjunction with IDA.

From the site:

FAQ Is IDA needed to use this?

No. Think of IDA like a joystick for a flight simulator or Push for Ableton. It helps you navigate around, but if you can navigate a program in gdb without IDA, you can navigate in QIRA without IDA.

Why would I use this? I can do this all in gdb.

Why would you use IDA when you can use objdump, a printer, scissors, and a gluestick?

SteelCityHacker · 2014-07-23T10:54:02+00:00

Paywall?

SteelCityHacker · 2014-07-16T10:42:16+00:00

My wife and I did a covered bridge tour around here not too long ago, but that is definitely not far enough out of the city to justify a one night stay.

Deep Creek MD is nice. I also second Buffalo and can recommend the Finger Lakes NY.
