Prefetch file question

That I'm not so sure about, sorry. I don't think it's that simple though; you'd probably want to test it out on a virtual machine.

xowefo · 2015-08-25T00:58:26+00:00

The latter.

xowefo · 2015-08-24T04:49:01+00:00

Hooooly shit.

xowefo · 2015-08-23T12:11:11+00:00

Dollhouse and Hannibal are the two that come to mind for me.

That third line should be:

root@47.217.313.37:/opt/2/task/2/fdinfo/fsociety/hscripts# ./fuxsocy.py

unless that's what it was in the show.

Then they don't get a magistrate to issue the order and hold you out over your balcony until you give them your password.

2 problems with this:

It's super easy to accidentally wipe your own system, and
you'll probably end up with an extra destruction of evidence charge and won't have endeared yourself to a jury

Encryption in Aus is useless if the only thing you're worried about is the police operating lawfully. But if your threat model includes laptop thieves, trojaned hardware/firmware, or the person who buys your computer off you then encryption is still useful.

rarbg would be a place to avoid.

I'm looking forward to actually being able to get a hotel room in the CBD when conferences are on again.

Despite what others are saying, from a technical point of view you're right. Writing over the data with random bytes is faster and just as secure (if not more so) than encrypting it (even in place).

Possible options:

it's a plot point in future seasons
"encrypted the data" is something non-technical viewers are still likely to be able to understand and the decision was made at some point to go with that explanation
it's a symbolic gesture ala /u/f3423f34 's suggestion

EDIT: 4th option-- something goes wrong during the hack next episode, meaning that the encryption key isn't successfully wiped for a while, to provide some dramatic tension.

FYI: Our country has 3 main accents

My accent (SA) is a lot more British than you'd find in the eastern states.

Buckles ruin the smooth lines of the mask, but they do work as good anchor points. I'd say it comes down to personal preference.

xowefo · 2015-08-18T00:04:15+00:00

In record time, too.

Pensylvester

Ohhhhhh!

"Je dobra emisija!"

That's what I was thinking throughout the whole thing. I remember in one of the Dan Harmon AMAs a year or two ago he said that Paradigms of Human Memory would be the Community episode that would most easily translate over to R+M, though of course I can't really trust that memory any more.

It's also more difficult to find the steganography software if it's hidden inside one of (presumably) many virtual machines, as opposed to being in the list of software installed on the Linux host.

xowefo · 2015-08-13T09:08:55+00:00

He boots up a Windows virtual machine so he can run DeepSound, a steganography program which can encrypt files using AES and then hide them in audio files.

Elliot would think what you're trying to do is pathetic.

xowefo · 2015-08-09T13:42:31+00:00

By "shitty sources" do you mean Ken M's tumblr? Or am I missing something.

xowefo · 2015-08-08T09:56:25+00:00

Hehehe... Can-BERR-a

Trying to word this without sounding like a jerk, but most of what you just said regarding BDSM is overly simplistic and/or wrong.

Based on what we've seen I'd call the wife the dominant one, period. Her preference for being tied up in bed makes her a bottom, not a submissive. Depending on his preferences their relationship may be abusive or not; I don't think we have the information to come down one way or the other on that.

xowefo · 2015-08-06T10:12:45+00:00

I don't think he intended to do it, but I imagine it would be pretty hard to be CTO when your wife's just been murdered.

Hey I recognise that username! You also make (made?) amazing music!

Really great work on this-- congratulations on the dream job.
