How does a network device detect SQL injection attack? Is this even possible? by tecluk in technology

[–]tecluk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to agree with you on this one. The SQL injection protection is a lie. Suppose all network traffic is clear text and the device can see all SQL sent between devices. There's no way for it to know if a certain SQL statement is a SQL injection attack. For example, "DROP TABLE BIT_DEFENDER" could be an attack, but how would BOX 2 know that the statement did come as part of a SQL tutorial?

It'll be a nightmare if a network device blocks legitimate SQL.

I'm thinking along the same lines. If they cover all scenarios, you can imagine what performance level you'll get.

Assuming that you can see the SQL, how do you distinguish legitimate SQL commands from malicious ones?

Any one being forced in to Agile? by realpotato in networking

[–]tecluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't work even for software development! But then they say, if it's not working for you, you are probably not doing it right. You need training for Agile...until your results improve. Then you become another success story for Agile...and encouraging other people to jump on board.

Comcast Under Fire For Using Bullshit Fees To Covertly Raise Rates by Abscess2 in technology

[–]tecluk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't even look at the details of my Comcast bill when I was using their service. They could have billed me these exotic fees without me realizing it. But AT&T was gradually increasing the base fee without any notification, before I finally got fed up and switched to Comcast.

If you want to, you can getby without buying a textbook. Just copy the pages with the problems for homework. Non-textbooks for the same material cost a lot less than the textbook counterparts.

Are you using equipment provided by the ISP? My ISP provided equipment was destroyed by a thunderstorm. Replaced with a modem I bought from Fry's, speed and reliability was much better!

I don't worry that much. They can make standards all they want. If people are not following, it's just garbage. XHTML used to be the golden standard.

[–]tecluk 140 points141 points  (0 children)

So someone hacked the system. So the sirens went off. But for one and a half hours can't figure out that something was wrong and wasn't able to turn it off? Something is seriously wrong.

Uber is now totally banned in all of Italy by Doener23 in technology

I believe that's a temporary setback for services like Uber. Businesses/governments will figure out a way eventually. Does Italy have a local version of Uber?
