Qualities Of Truly Confident People

Can someone ask for my domain name? What is ‘intellectual property’?
http://www.papaki.com/blog/2013/07/08/can-someone-ask-for-my-domain-name-what-is-intellectual-property/
Say that while searching for your next best domain name you discover a small treasure: a very popular brand has not registered the relevant domain name (e.g. google.com—yes, I know how ridiculous it sounds, but it’s just an example). So you rush and you make the registration.<p>Deep down you know there’s something wrong. However you’re the one who registered the domain name anyway. You may it sell it later to Google and get some money. It is yours now.<p>Once upon a time on the Internet when things were unorganised such a move could work and it did work sometimes. But not anymore. Now it all comes to trademarks and intellectual property.

Intellectual property refers to one’s own rights. It includes copyright and patents. So if someone has registered a trademark, according to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, she has also the rights to use it and to protect it on the Internet too. “To protect” can mean a dozen different things but most of the times it is pretty simple: for example, not letting anyone use a trademark as hers without permission. Of course nobody would claim Google as his own brand (except for the real owners), but it could happen to less known brands. “To protect” also means to prevent people from the systematic abuse of the trademark, which is something that could obviously hurt the brand. And the list goes on.<p>So registering the particular domain name doesn’t make you the owner of it. On the contrary you enter the dangerous zone of cybersquatting, an action of bad faith which aims to exploit the goodwill of a trademark which belongs to someone else. In fact the relevant American law of Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act has been designed for preventing actions like this. The particular law was enacted in 1999. So if you have ever heard a story of someone who acquired a domain name of a famous brand and then sold it to the owner, it must have happened before 1999.

A Summer of Fun – The Manifesto 
http://asummeroffun.com
I wrote "A Summer of Fun" 13 years ago. It's been through a number of revisions since then, but the sentiment hasn't changed.

I'm now 31 and I spend the good part of my day behind my laptop, directing a great team of hackers, creatives and thinkers at HYPERHYPER. I love my job and the people I work with - to the point that calling it "work" might seem unfair.

Even so, I still have to remind myself that life exists outside of the office. And I encourage my team to do the same. Every spring, I reread "A Summer of Fun", and every summer I respond to it a little differently. I hope it challenges you the way it has me.

See you out there.

Why In Rainbows may not be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
http://blog.sawce.net/2007/10/22/inrainbows/
Fans may have been saying thank you for good work. But in a time where the record industry is pulling some incredibly (and also not-so-incredibly to by fair) haywire moves, its important to try to normalize for all the "thank you" they were getting for the good will (which if what they do becomes the norm, won't get thanked for quite so often).

Security of Multiple-Key Protocol #cryptography protocols
http://seclist.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/protocols-and-propose.pdf
Abstract: Multiple key agreement protocols produce several session keys instead of one session key. Most of the multiple key agreement protocols do not utilize the hash functions in the signature schemes used for identification. Not using hash function in these protocols causes that the protocols do not satisfy some requirement security properties. In this paper we review the multiple key agreement protocols and perform attacks on some of them. Then we introduce a new multiple key agreement protocol and show that the proposed protocol is more secure than the existent multiple key agreement protocols.<p>Introduction
Cryptography helps us to make a secure communication in public networks. The secret key plays an essential role in the cryptosystems such that revealing the secret key causes the cryptographic system to be compromised. Therefore how to exchange the secret key is very important in cryptographic applications. One of the considerable methods for secret key exchanging is key agreement protocols. These protocols enable two or more users of any public
networks to share a secret common key together.
Android SMS Spoofer
https://github.com/thomascannon/android-sms-spoof
Proof of Concept app which takes advantage of Android's SmsReceiverService being exported to fake an incoming SMS with no permissions.<p>On 2012-10-30 NCSU notified Google about a "Smishing" vulnerability (1) in Android. The vulnerability appears to be due to Android exporting SmsReceiverService in the com.android.mms app with no apparent restrictions. A third party app can therefore pass an explicit Intent to the SMS app containing a fake SMS message and the SMS app will process it.<p>This issue has been known about and used for some time (2,3,4) by test apps and apps designed to intercept, alter and pass on SMS messages. NCSU were the first to publically highlight the security vulnerability that arises from this functionality, namely that a user can be tricked into taking action on a faked SMS message.<p>This PoC app simply wraps existing code already made public so that the issue can be validated and countermeasures designed while users wait for the patch.

TFS Architecture
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/tfs-architecture/
In TFS, files are divided into variable-size chunks. Each chunk is identified by an immutable
and globally unique 64 bit chunk handle assigned by the master at the time of chunk creation.
Chunk servers store the chunks on the local disks and read/write chunk data specified by a
chunk handle and byte range. For the data reliability, each chunk is replicated on multiple
chunk servers. By default, we maintain three replicas in the system, though users can
designate different replication levels for different files.
