ah ya dude I got burned from some pw leak (I think last.fm) and someone tried to steal some video game account because idiot me used the same pw for 13 years

so what I mean is the only people who don't use pw managers are those who haven't been burned yet aka the unburned

I guess there are a few toasted retards floating around but then there always is

but ya don't do like what I did and use the same ow everywhere is what was trying to say

i had to use an internet cafe today to do some work bullshit while on holiday and 1) holy poo poo internet cafes still exist 2) they give you local admin which was handy because i had to install java to get our garbage remote access software working*

the guy next to me was trying to open some random file type and asked the staff about installing something and they went 'it's not a virus right?' and just did it


*recently upgraded to use a java desktop app that has to be manually set up to point to the java exe and so breaks on every java version update because environment variables are hard

The problem with a race to the bottom is that once you get there, you are stuck.

introduce more expensive, durable lines and slowly phase out the chinesium garbage that they sell now. Apple has a lot of computer models but compared to HP or whatever they have very very few. they could reduce their operating costs by only needing to make 12 different models of higher cost, sell them as competitors to Apple for $300 less and still make quite a bit of money

the main issue would be all the smaller Chinese and Korean companies that are super ok with only making $5-$15/unit to Americans who don't understand that buying a $200 piece of poo poo every two years is more expensive than buying a $600 computer every six years

the politics of the poor generally being unable to do this but still needing a computer aside I guess

actual security research question: i'm getting curious about how those free flashlight apps & ad infested games on android work and i've started to pull a couple apart with apktool, sniffing traffic with wireshark & even had some limited success loving around with ida

one thing that i'm still struggling with is a bunch of files with an xml extension; androidmanifest.xml files get extracted correctly by apktool, but a bunch of other xml files (if they're even xml, but in the case of the app i'm having issues with nothing else seems obfuscated so v0v) are coming out as complete gibberish

i seem to be lacking the correct words to google my way through this issue as usual. pretty much anything i try to describe as "apktool * broken xml" refers back to axmlprinter, which apparently only works on manifest files. i gave dex2jar a go, but i'm not interested in the code of the app as much as those resource files

any ideas how i should hit this next?

android uses xml files for the manifest (which tells android what permissions the app needs, what it will sort of look like wrt screen position, and a few other things

the rest of the xml files are layout files that are never really very well decompiled in my experience but all of the tools that i've used at work dont decompile to the java code for various reasons

but yeah best success ive had is with classyshark

In a customer management system there's little else besides personal data. Contact details, correspondence, support tickets, order details... that's basically all there is. And it's not just a case of trawling through backups - in the case of an incremental backup you can't even access the data without restoring the increment against its full backup. So you do that and remove the data.. then what? Instead of the 200mb incremental you started with you've got a 200gb full database. What are you meant to do with that?

So we outlaw the use of tape backups, we outlaw the use of incremental backups and we outlaw the use of offline data storage...?

It's perfectly possible to have reasonable data protection legislation without putting a completely unreasonable burden on backup processes. It would be silly to pretend there are only two options, this or literally no control over how personal information is stored and handled.

I think the main reason you're so against this is it's going to be a pain in the rear end for companies who have lovely data storage such as yours

think about it this way: there's going to be a lot of job security when all the corps have to change a shitload of backend and hey at least your days will fly by!
