Is this the same couriers that throw packages over fences and do long-throws onto porches?

As an attacker, I test for sudo -n. If it succeeds, I have root. In most cases I do not need it however. SSH key trusts, SSH multiplexing and bad posix permissions are more than enough to get me an…

To make this more interesting, replace the words gun and weapons with cars. FoxReplace is a good Firefox addon for this.

Most home users probably allow UDP out of their network. How many businesses by default allow UDP outbound on any port? Will the documentation/RFC's encourage folks to fail gracefully if UD…

I've been using Redhat/CentOS as long as they have existed. I recently started converting all my VPS nodes to Alpine Linux for these reasons. I don't imagine that happening at work any…
