relatedly, is there a way to get link metrics for a website you don't own? I really want to know how people are stumbling over this obscure webpage 15 years later.

you can usually get the referer url, but that's about it.

This test was designed to measure your aptitude for working with computers. This means that it will show how well you can follow instructions, obey rules and procedures, and solve problems. It has nothing to do with how much you know about computers or how much computer training you have received, so if you�re new to them, don�t worry! You might still do very well on this test. Even if you don�t score as high as you would have liked, that doesn�t mean that you are incapable of using a computer or even working in the computer field—only that you�ll probably have to work harder at it than someone who scores higher. Take this test before you enroll in any computer training schools.

"and they all think they have a virus"
*attaches 3 photos indicating none of them think they have a virus, nor do any of them think they explicitly did the wrong thing, but are actually asking for clarification on where the problem lies*





@ios is at their worst when its real clear they're just blind reposting stuff they know literally nothing about, like "experienced drone man" complained about their dji inspire deciding to update midair. which is not physically possible because updates require a tether or a firmware on the sd card (and it checks the sd and does firmware updates before starting up, not just randomly midflight)

in a competition like ictf a 1% difference is wholly attributable to being unlucky with their poo poo garbage infrastructure not scoring correctly one or two times.

it was a decent gamble, I wouldn't of thought their whole system was going to poo poo the bed just because you're doing under 100k connections either

You should just make a public tweet mentioning them on Twitter that informs them they have a security problem and no real way to report it.

... I mean, at this point, "best practices" is "whatever Taviso does".

That's what Troy Hunt told me to do when I emailed him for advice after eventually getting shunted to the payment processor and being told "yeah we know they're doing the iframe thing, we told them to get it fixed but what can you do"

Unfortunately i have like 2 followers that aren't porn bots and both of them are my mom

Hunt said he was gonna signal boost it, maybe that'll help

Shaming a company into doing the right thing only works if they can feel shame.

How likely is it that they'll care about this if they're not even using HTTPS until something massively bad (for them) actually happens?

As a cool bonus, the engineer I spoke to at the payment processor said the reason he can't really do that much about it is their EULA doesn't forbid their customers from putting their payment module in an iframe on an unencrypted HTTP page

So y'know "I'll bring it up again next time I talk to them, thanks for calling"

There was no security or IT-related email address, the normal support address auto-reply told me to expect a reply in 6-8 business days, and I'm unemployed and bored

I was trying to just get them to forward my message to some relevant person without it having to take two weeks but they kept forwarding me like a hot potato
