My space in Cambridge is not on the list. It’s hastypastry.net. Been there for 20 years. It’s private so no need to advertise. I think it’s good to be on these lists so people know hacker spaces exist
If you are in the Bay Area during RSA Conference, Space Rogue and me, Weld, are going to be fireside chatting and signing books at the W Hotel. Come get one and hang out! https://info.veracode.com/rsa-2023-book-signing.html
In the 90s the L0pht was not commercial and was funded as a hobby. Nearing 2000 we wanted to make it our day job and not a hobby and transition from to jobs we all had working for someone else. It was the beginning of my journey to entrepreneurship but this transition was very rocky. Manu didn’t survive. It was a huge learning experience documented in Space Rogue’s book.
The L0pht had no leadership. Only partners that paid rent and utilities. You had to pay to cover your share of expenses but also contribute with sweat equity. We ended up kicking out a couple of people that ceased to contribute to the common good even if they paid.
Hashcat can’t dump password hashes. L0phtcrack can and it has been a core feature for 20 years. I suppose a decent career is founding a security unicorn, Veracode. :)
In 1986 I was a developer for IBM's IBM PC support BBS. You could access knowledge base articles and patches. At that time we wanted to add graphics and were looking at adding NAPLPS support.
This would only seem to protect from memory corruption vulnerabilities that are exploited. I don't see how this would protect from the most common vulns: SQLi, command injection, crypto implementation weaknesses, OWASP top 10. Would this even protect against sensitive data leakage like the Heartbleed vuln?
Then there are people who think it takes so long for their DAC to reach the sweet spot after being powered on that they transport it to shootout on UPS so the unit only needs an hour to acclimate to its new environment. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f6-dac-digital-analog-conv...
