From the article:

> Looking at the list of ports they are scanning, they are looking for VNC services being run on the host, which is the same thing that was reported for bank sites.

> VNC is sometimes run as part of bot nets or viruses as a way to remotely log into a users computer. There are several malware services that leverage VNC for these purposes.

>> Say you work at McDonald's and you're a brilliant person. You will soon be promoted and get more options.

Open source your games. Open source is the only practical way that existing distros are able to test and support the majority of packages that they ship. If you do that, the cost of supporting all those other things will fall on the distros, not on you, but you need to actually play ball with them and give them something workable that isn't an opaque binary blob that is illegal to redistribute, modify or reverse-engineer. The feelings you're describing (that you need to shelter 100% of those costs and you have no other options) are a side effect of the game industry's cargo-culting of closed-source business models and refusal to even consider that there are ways to make money from open source.
What you're saying is essentially: If we can't come up with a way in which Microsoft could proceed to the Extinguish phase, they can't. Because clearly, if we, after spending five minutes thinking about it, can't come up with something, then it is also impossible for this company that has spent three decades perfecting the concept, and literally has billions of dollars to throw at the problem.

Presumably because we smart and they dumb. Or something, I don't know?

Personally, I think that their thirty years of experience and billions of dollars might make it possible for them to come up with a plan I wouldn't have thought of.
Given the creation of the new Space Force, it's hard to justify NASA on defense related stuff, and given the build up of the private space industry, it's probably going to be even less important. Deep down, I personally want NASA to still be important, I still think exploration has value. But that has always seemed like a side benefit from working on the "important" stuff.

Port scanning from an external host is fine and dandy, but doing it on localhost from the user's browser crosses the line, IMO.

If I were a serious baddie, I'd be afraid of using Shodan. Who knows who has what logging on that, and what honeypots may have been seeded into it for just such an occasion? It's not that hard to get that information yourself, from sources you control yourself.

Legitimate usage from researchers and people reading about infrastructure they have the right to do security testing on may be a larger percentage than you think.
I'd love to be using an open source desktop, but sadly Linux Desktop is still a goddamn garbage fire as far as I'm concerned. Not that long ago (months) I would say that 4 out of 5 of my desktop and laptop computers ran Linux, but now that number is 1/5 because I just got sick of dealing with Linux Desktop bullshit on them. My main gaming rig runs nVidia because it is frankly best in class, and nVidia has shit Linux support so that's a no-go. I also have a used Oculus Rift, which again rules out Linux.

There's a reason Windows is still dominant in the Desktop space despite all its problems.

You're right, I guess, if you consider "the web" to mean "HTML over HTTP". In real terms, though, a modern web site is the HTML plus all of the images and other text that goes with it, and it's designed as a package. The fact that the web browser connects to the web server to download all of the bloat doesn't change the fact that the bloat was specified by the HTML served by the web site. It's just an implementation detail.

I mean, one of the reasons the US military is so big is because politicians demand bases to be built in their state. Since the federal gov pays the salary of every uniformed public servant, and those servants use that salary in the local economy, it's basically a year after year windfall for local coffers.

It's not just big government agencies that are vehicles for pork, the whole government's been that way for a long, long time.
All the typical sizes depend on the compiler and the flags you provide. If you provide the wrong flags, the sizes of each type may change, but you won't see any warnings about it because it's expected behavior, and now you've got different binaries with different behavior. Or you could use fixed-width types and if the wrong flags get passed (no C99 support) your code just doesn't compile.

I just checked the Linux kernel style guide, and they explicitly suggest you can use fixed-width types from C99 when it makes sense. I get that they want a balance for their project, but for general programming, it's just safer to be explicit. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.1/process/coding-style.ht...
This is such an obvious consequence of web sockets that I wonder how anyone could have entertained the idea long enough to sober up and write the code. This is worse than letting a web page script have access to the clipboard, record mouse movements, and similar information leaks, because instead of just stealing information, now a web page can actively compromise any host on your network.

From a bureaucratic perspective, what auditing feedback looks better:

A: "You're not compliant, what the hell were you thinking using this 'Trello' thingie ?!?"

B: "You're not compliant but it's fine, everyone uses Microsoft like you do so it's probably not possible to be fully OK, we are all in the same boat..."

Feedback B can easily go up the chain with no repercussions. Feedback A cannot. It's a sad world.
Provide You with a Business Plan Starter Kit
What you get with this Offer
As a qualified accountant I have written business plans for over 350 clients in 36 countries over the course of the last 5 years. During this time I have put together a comprehensive 'tool kit' for business plan writing. Many clients have asked me if they could just buy the templates that I use, so for the first time I am now offering them out to everyone.

I will provide you with everything that you need to write a winning business plan that impresses your potential investor including:

- A winning business plan template (which I use personally when producing business plans for my clients)
- A 5 year financial forecasting model which will produce profit & loss accounts, balance sheets, cash flow forecasts, break-even analysis, ROI, charts and tables to support your business plan
- A list of over 100 potential sources of finance
- A template to produce your business plan executive summary (your 'elevator pitch')
- A 99-point investor checklist

I will also review your business plan for you once you have completed it and offer advice where needed.

Well that's a false dichotomy if I've ever heard one. All those years of running in production will do nothing for you when the business asks for tweaks.
This would be a great rebuttal to someone who said “I like that Facebook helps people kill people” but is a pretty weak rebuttal to someone calling out you making up fee structures for the product and your silly moralizing over a company launching... checks notes... a way for people to sell things on the internet. The horror.
Thank you for your generous offer of help. We don't need additional support at this time but I will keep you in mind if new needs come up. Thanks once again.

There are plenty of legitimate uses of port scanning, and specifically, a port scanning database like Shodan. For example:

- Monitoring your own network or that of your clients for exposed ports

- Researching Internet topology, or performing aggregate queries like “how many nginx servers are connected to the Internet”

Can you use it maliciously? Yes. But, most of the time, if you have a target it would make more sense to do the port scan yourself. And if you’re just dragnet searching for vulnerabilities, most you find will probably already have been exploited. Sites like shodan are good for the overall health of the web because they force website owners to maintain security posture. If you know that foregoing a wordpress upgrade means you’re one script kiddy with a shodan account away from getting hacked, you’re going to keep your site up to date. This saves you from script kiddies, but also from the more sophisticated hackers who would run a port scan themselves anyway.
>How can people replace SysVinit without "doing their own take on EEE"?

By not tightly bundling their init with other OS components, by not having GNOME desktop somehow depend on what init system you're using (as opposed to services running under that init system).

Also you know how shell scripts have `#!/usr/bin/env bash` at the top of them? Well the reason why my hypothetical init system would be compatible with SysVinit is because instead of `#!/usr/bin/env bash` it would have `#!/usr/bin/env new_init_language` at the top of it. 'new_init_language" could implement almost all the same features that systemd unit files do.
The more pointed argument would be there is no federal law prohibiting port scans.

Don't try to understand this with metaphors. It's a trap. Port scanning isn't enough like anything in the real world for the analogies to apply.

I'd strengthen pfundstein's claim; port scanning intrinsically works by trying to open connections. That isn't enough "like" any particular physical thing to make it a correct analogy; it isn't knocking, or walking in, or opening, or anything else. But one thing we can say, without using analogies, is that it is definitely an active effort, an action deliberately taken, not something passive like "looking" is in the real world. That is not on its own proof that it is wrong... I am merely saying, it is certainly active, not passive.

> The old bloggers all just moved on. Or at least the vast majority of them did.

Did they? Or do they just make up a decreasing fraction of blogs? I've got 95 blogs in my feed reader. My guess is that I've been subscribed to most of them for more than five years, but still about 80% of them posted within the last year (an arbitrary cut-off point, but I don't think it's fair to call something dead if it only ever showed signs of life a couple times a year in its prime).
Just for fun I looked up the Apple Portable from 1990. It had 1MB RAM. A high end MacBook Pro today could have 64GB RAM.

> Yeah, I liked how he realized two possibilities for a number that were next to each other, also meant the box around it could be cleared.

This struck me as a bit weird (as he's clearly 100% sharp): this is just the application of the same rule he had been applying everywhere else: if a number can be in one of two squares than anything that can reach those two by king or knight cannot be correct. He doesn't need to use speculation about which of the two cells it is in.

Hello, thanks for your comment and the great points you’ve made.

Regarding security, we do believe that it is a selling point for many companies. You might be ok granting access to Circle CI or others, but for a new kid on the block that’s more difficult. And being run as a self contained action means you are not dependent on the availability or continuity of the service you depend on.

As for misbehaving instances, this is indeed something that we thought about, and we’ll make sure this doesn’t happen in two ways:
- allowing to set a max duration for an instance, and a max number of concurrent instances
- having an additional trigger in the workflow file to launch a cleanup phase like every day, since GitHub actions already support cron-like tasks

I’ll send you an email a bit later as I’m currently on the go, thanks again and talk to you soon!

That's called "casing a joint" ...

I think it comes under the Criminal Attempts Act 1981. But it might come down to whether you gather information, if you test a port, intending later - if successful - to attempt an exploit, then that seems like it could be unlawful (under the Law of England & Wales). Keeping a record of ports found with services could be sufficient to demonstrate intent.

[Just to be clear, I'm not endorsing/condemning the law here.]

Austrian Economics and Libertarianism – Walter Block
What I've found is that the real challenge for a beginner is making continuous and sustained progress. The key number in the (1.01)^365 equation is the ^365 part. Do something difficult every single day.

Beyond just sticking with it, you also need to continually challenge yourself. Avoid staying into the comfort zones that fear and ego will shunt you into.

These are very difficult to do as a beginner because you're going to encounter so many demoralizing roadblocks. I still remember when I first started writing code. It was incredibly painful. Things that now take me minutes would take days.

The real key here isn't some technique that will make the learning easier, it's in getting the emotional fortitude to push through these struggles. Your struggles will be unique and it's impossible for me to prepare you with solutions for every novel challenge you face. "Ask not for lighter burdens, ask for stronger backs" and all that jazz. There's a lot of resources online, esp. on Youtube, about increasing mental discipline. Cold showers, fasting, mental discipline, stoicism, etc. I recommend investing some time into trying these techniques for improving pain tolerance.
Remember the code was written when 32bit OSes were the norm , 4GB of memory was HUGE, and internet connections were sloooooooow. So a reasonable assumption at that time was that this will never happen. (Raise your hand if you've said the same about your own code.) I'm sure there is lots of old code still running with the same issues, just that the qmail code seems to be audited a lot. Thankfully it follows a pattern that makes things like this easy to mitigate.
I agree. And since you can have php (or whatever) on the command line, you really have to ask yourself "why should I spend 45 minutes or more going through old scripts I wrote to re-learn how to do what I want to do?"

I love playing with awk. I think it's really cool. But there's a cost to it.

hmmm, so the conclusion is:

"Whether the port scan is used as part of an infection or part of e-commerce or bank "security checks", it is clearly malicious behavior and may fall on the wrong side of the law."

Though I really don't know what ebay or banks or any site might be doing, it seems like it's almost certainly a defensive thing looking for signs of trouble. I don't know if I'd call it malicious. Isn't this totally harmless in this case? That is, eBay portscans me, how is this malicious?
