1Password went through something like this a couple years ago. 1Password solved this with their OPvault format.
If you’re worried about something like that use a different password manager like 1Password and do WiFi only syncing between devices.
1Password still has the problem of the developers (Agilebits) being extremely careless about how they distribute their software without any method of authentication. So KeePassX, pass, or Password Safe are better options, as those password managers can be authenticated. As compared here: http://mostvulnerable.com/
I don’t think the Transmission BitTorrent devs know how to use PGP.
I’m not sure what the excuse is for 1Password. I heard they think it’s “security theater”. Which is pretty concerning…
The word spacing is too narrow and letter spacing too wide. It’s very difficult to read more than a headline.
How about a wall of shame for sites that distribute software without a signature for authentication? A public wall of “shame” should at least try and solve something. Mobile devices are the primary devices using IPv6, and 6to4 provides them access to the existing v4 internet, for mere mortals.
Expensive and inexpensive wifi radios go bad. Cheaper ones generally sooner than later, and hopefully it happens within the warranty.
On a side note, Apple’s Airport wifi devices are covered under warranty as long as they were purchased within 2 years of the purchase of a Mac with AppleCare. Giving them potentially up to a 5 year warranty.
I don’t think here it is a broken radio, but a software issue, either on the Mac, on the router, or presumably both.
The only routers I buy are the ones that are supported by OpenWrt. What a difference that makes compared to the crappy vendor firmware!
It doesn’t seem like a radio issue to me either. Pinging the access point itself on its internal IP works fine, with no interruptions. It’s the connection to the internet that drops out every 30 seconds or so, so the problem seems to be with its functionality as a router rather than its wifi functionality.
The only routers I buy are the ones that are supported by OpenWrt
Ditto, but that’s increasingly difficult these days if you want 802.11ac support. AFAIK the only real choices are the TP-Link Archer C5/C7 and Linksys WRT1900* and both of those have issues. Still, using OpenWRT is far better than having to run vendor firmware or DD-WRT (the latter allows binary blobs, so it’s a no-no for me).
So the article mentions 5 solutions to this advanced persistent threat. Is the Zcash project refusing to solve the APT?
It really is ridiculous. I tried playing CS:GO recently, and quit very soon because people don’t even try and hide cheats anymore. Literally every game I played, someone with blatant hacks would connect, ruin the game, then leave. The in game report button seems totally ineffective too.
Yeah, though if that many people blatantly hack, the number using subtle hacks that even a server admin can’t prove is probably much higher. It really puts a doubt in your mind that ruins all the enjoyment.
Server admins don’t have to prove anything. if you have to many red flags like a new account with one game, no friends, and some kind of meme based name and you talk trash about your good K/D. BAN. That problem is solved on that server or the servers that use that federated ban list. It’s a better system than VAC and with a couple good admins is better than any computer based system. If you smell smoke there’s fire. After some experience you can even eyeball players that passively cheat, only to avoid direct contact with players.
This is why people have started federated ban lists. http://tuggerhosting.com/ban
The “Federated Arbitrary Game Ban-List” in particular.. There are currently 2 forks.
They aren’t very responsive to multiple inquiries about the PGP key. They ignored request on the first hack as well. https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/16
Has anyone else had this problem?
Not sure if that was you or not but someone posted in the comments section of the post that they experienced the same issue.
