Brute.Fail showcases real-time examples of attackers trying to break into servers by guessing usernames and passwords.
The website assures that there are no legitimate services being offered on the attempted addresses and therefore, no chance of real users accidentally submitting their credentials.
Brute.Fail is created by Mike Damm, and it is still waiting for WebSocket.
Using fail2ban can conserve server resources by stopping responses to brute force attacks but may not prevent them.
Cryptographic keys and Role-Based Access Control are better alternatives to prevent attacks than passwords.
Real-time honeypots and open-source tools can be used to monitor and protect servers.
The website "brute.fail" streams live data showing attempts to log into SSH-enabled servers and is a valuable resource for those interested in security.
Users should exercise caution before attempting to interact with the website as it can be easily vandalized.
The website's purpose is to illustrate how brute force attacks work, rather than to report actual failed login attempts.
California spent $17 billion on homelessness, but it's not working, with the "housing first" strategy not being implemented effectively in San Francisco, despite its success in Finland.
Homelessness is multifaceted, involving mental health and addiction issues, making the provision of clean, well-maintained housing a challenge.
Debate centers around whether to provide free housing, with concerns about fear of public housing and "free housing" being taken advantage of, and also whether to focus on affordable housing or addiction intervention as a solution.
A radiation-hardened quine that can tolerate deletion of one character without affecting its executability is shared by a hacker on Hacker News.
People discuss the process of radiation hardening and suggest the use of triple redundancy and pooling of computational power to address potential issues during the process.
There is a debate in the comments about whether DNA can be considered a radiation-hardened quine; the post is notable for its impressive programming feats and may intrigue readers new to programming.
Commenters discuss historical and geological information about regions along the road trip route- Debate on the use of R versus Python for making maps- Some commenters share their own experiences with trip planning and suggest tools or libraries for creating maps
A new script called Triangle Check can scan iTunes backups for indicators of compromise by "Operation Triangulation".
The script requires installation of a dependency called colorama and can be installed from PyPI or built into a pip package.
If there are any traces of suspicious activity found by the script, it will print out more information and detected IOCs, which could mean the device was compromised.
Kaspersky Lab has released "Operation Triangulation," a tool that can scan iPhone backups for compromise.
End-to-end encrypted calls may not be reliable due to device compromise, but open-source VoIP apps with E2EE alternatives exist.
Other tools, such as the Mobile Verification Toolkit and the iMazing tool to detect Pegasus and Graphite, have been released to identify potential device compromises.
The article explores the different ways programming languages define and measure string length, specifically when it comes to Unicode and emojis.
The choice of which length method to use depends on the needs of the program or project, and the decision to compute string lengths eagerly or lazily depends on the programming language and project needs.
Measuring the length of a tweet on Twitter is complicated due to discrepancies in how different languages require different amounts of space, and scalar values provide the most fair standard for measuring length, but significant disparities still exist depending on the language.
The article discusses the ambiguity of the "length" attribute for strings and suggests that it be replaced with more precise descriptors.
The comments section debates the best approach for dealing with strings in Unicode code points, bytes, or graphemes clusters, with some disagreement about which approach is best.
The discussion covers the practicality of different methods, including using code points, grapheme clusters, or byte counts, with references to tools and libraries that can help with text manipulation.
Professor Gil Strang has retired from MIT after spending 66 of his 88 years at the institution. He taught linear algebra to thousands of students at MIT, which eventually evolved into a course for a third of the Institute's student body, and shared his course materials on MIT OCW.
Strang is an award-winning mathematician, has written over 20 books and published influential research on mathematical analysis, linear algebra, and partial differential equations.
Strang's legacy includes his simple methods for teaching complex subjects and making linear algebra accessible to the masses, with millions of students benefiting from his online lectures, and the movement to appreciate the subject continuing.
A humorous discussion on Hacker News arises after a study about the effectiveness of using parachutes when jumping from aircraft is published.
Readers caution against drawing conclusions from the study's results and remind that correlation does not equal causation.
The study highlights the importance of considering the nuances of research and not relying solely on statistical significance, as well as the limitations and potential flaws with evidence-based medicine and randomized controlled trials.
