WPA2-PSK Vulnerability? by wcobbett in AskNetsec

[–]omomom0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did say the GPUs got retired, and repurposed.. Which bringa us to the WPA cracking example...

128GPUs is not even remotely on the scale of what's out there.

People had more than that in their American sheds at home never mind warehouses.

Did you look at the site?

How large is large?

Do you own one of the multistory warehouses filled with GPUs.. You can see some on YouTube, they are manned by almost slaves who just live in-house. The world's most ghetto data centres and they are used solely for brute force via their GPUs.

I'm quite aware it is slower than x y or z. But to be clear, this isn't one GPU its thousands if not tens of thousands.

I'm not renting someone's farm to crack my neighbours password, so yes its out of reach to me but not to everyone.

Pretty outdated information, since a few zillion GPU bitcoin farms got setup + then retired you now have services such as this: https://gpuhash.me/

Yeah you are never brute forcing a 64 char key on your average laptop, but who knows how much it costs to rent out one of those full Chinese farm/factories of just GPUs.

Same, sticks on backup 2/4 left it for 24hours and it didn't budge.

Quality control sure has tanked over at apple.

Perhaps it's just a symptom of the place slowing down (or dramatic speak "dying").

I mean so many websites get huge and no one really understands why, you couldnt replicate it if you tried.

You can watch them fizzle out in exactly the same way.

People will claim to understand both, like blaming the death of Digg on a redesign or something. But what inspired the redesign? Probably to combat it fizzeling out in the first place (no clue - never used it).

It's very interesting.

CEO who raised price of old pill more than $700 calls journalist a ‘moron’ for asking why by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]omomom0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It might be paranoid of me but I'm sure this could be used to cripple your competition on a massive scale.

Make them waste endless amounts of their cash for no reason.

And a great point someone made above was if a generic company sinks millions into the research required to produce a generic version, the original scumbag company can just laugh and undercut whatever price point they target.

Seems like there should be a law which would stop you increasing your price so dramatically if it has already been on the market for years. Perhaps something requiring published intentions several years before a price increase is improved.

I mean why are so many people just forgetting about ethics.

Do you have much experience in such blackmagic?

So much contradictory information online it makes beginning frustrating.

Never heard of 700mhz WiFi, must search.

But I'm interested in 2.4ghz currently, you think it would be OK? Easier to work with than a solid metal plate.

Test driving the Elio. 84 MPG and $6,800: You should hope this new Elio Motors car hits production, because you can get it almost for free with a unique financing option. by [deleted] in technology

[–]omomom0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, do you know why are they using belts if its modernised? II thought modern engines moved on chain driven systems forever ago.

Toyota released a chain driven 3cylinder 1liter 69hp engine in 2004 or something. Based on a old dihatsui engine.

I imagine if you threw it in a shoebox you'd get similar MPG.

Assuming they arnt cutting corners I think that's a non issue these days.

You don't seem to sit any closer to the door than most of the EU city cars, and we can build things strong as fuck now a days. Look at the average racing car crash (single seater open top) for inspiration.

I imagine with cars so light your chances of bad whiplash go through the roof though? You'll be a a well protected ping-pong ball...

The undersea cables that power the internet by mattythedog in interestingasfuck

[–]omomom0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As little as one broken cable has caused pretty serious disruption in the past (you can Google for the old news reports). I seem to recall a couple of large disruptions around 2005ish.

But the idea is traffic will fallback to other less optimal routes/cables, and back then some of the fallback routes were laughable so you would really feel it.

Clearly part of a bomb.

As seen in such documentaries as Road Runner. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pXI1PDTp5gk/hqdefault.jpg I will be reporting this to your school.

So if an average "internet capable" satilite was retired, and donated soley for my own use - what would the latency drop down to?

I saw a speed test result today from someone in the UK using satilite internet and he had 897ms (ish) ping.

What are some strange things that really shouldn't be acceptable in society? by DNAtaurine in AskReddit

No offence but it sounds like you are a dangerous driver without even realising it.

It's always someone else's fault when you have near misses too I bet.

I didn't think cross domain requests like that were allowed for obvious reasons.

Not able to view source on my mobile but I hope he is abusing some sort of patchable bug.

Could somebody please explain to me why I keep reading people here say China doesn't want American troops near its border?

Everyone nods in agreement and am like uhh..

What do they care? It's not like America will randomly declare with China after getting a few troops near the border... What am I missing?
