Isis mostly works on Python stuff like bridgebd: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitweb.torproject.org%2Fbridgedb.git%2F

On the Tor daemon itself, she's got a pretty good patch series on https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrac.torproject.org%2Fprojects%2Ftor%2Fticket%2F7144 that I hope she'll have time to refactor soon. Maybe accusing her of being a total phony is not the best way to help her there?

CCC Create a Rogue CA Certificate 300

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday December 30, 2008 @01:14PM from the they-even-faked-this-dept dept.

t3rmin4t0r writes "Just when you were breathing easy about Kaminsky, DNS and the word hijacking, by repeating the word SSL in your head, the hackers at CCC were busy at work making a hash of SSL certificate security. Here's the scoop on how they set up their own rogue CA, by (from what I can figure) reversing the hash and engineering a collision up in MD5 space. Until now, MD5 collisions have been ignored because nobody would put in that much effort to create a useful dummy file, but a CA certificate for phishing seems juicy enough to be fodder for the botnets now."

Adventuresome or "Hands On" Careers in Tech? 72

Posted by Cliff on Monday February 26, 2007 @07:59PM from the escape-from-the-cube-farm dept.

omission9 asks: "For about 10 years I have worked mostly behind a desk in a cubicle and am starting to feel that this environment is making me miserable. The cheap fluorescent lights, the stuffy air, and the restless feeling I get from just sitting so long are starting to really annoy me. My background is mainly as a programmer but I started my career as a network engineer/network administrator. I am also a member of the US Naval Reserve and am cleared as high as Top Secret. Are there any jobs out there that match this sort of skill set (more or less programmer but generally excellent tech skills) that don't require being stuck behind a desk? Paying relatively well would be a major plus as would something that provides a solid career (20+ years of work). Is there anyone out there, from anywhere other than a cube farm, that may have some advice?"
