comment How proxy servers sniff data
I knew I should look out for "mai1.google.com", but that Cryllic "a" just looks entirely the same. This is scary. How about stаckexchange.com (note the cryllic "а" in there), can you register a domain like that too? Or does it work on subdomains only? I wonder because the top- and second-level domains are not under your control, but the subdomain(s) can be used without registration and managed by your own nameservers.

comment How to securely hash passwords?
@DeerHunter If you think the implementation is bad, perhaps the author will still change things in later versions of PHP if you reply here: security.stackexchange.com/q/16506/10863

I hate tinyurl. And pdfs for that matter, at least now it's clear that it is one.

comment How can browser select suggestions for my private searches?
@ewanm89 Yeah that's what I meant by "and the fact that you have JS disabled"; that also is a parameter that could be tracked.

@AJHenderson Usually disabling Javascript makes you pretty much indistinguishable besides your IP and user agent string. And the fact that you have JS disabled. My linux computer is pretty distinct on our family connection for 4 people.

comment How can browser select suggestions for my private searches?
"If you are truly clearing all the local records when you close the browser, are not logged in to any accounts and are connecting through a VPN, then there should be no way for a web server to recognize you between visits." Basically you are right, but practically it's a different story: panopticlick.eff.org

comment Can robots.txt for your face be made effective?
There is a difference between recognizing people that you saw earlier on the street and storing everyone's whereabouts in one big database, accessible to people that you cannot approve and you don't even know when anyone accesses the data.

comment Can Skype chat be protected from snooping? Are there safe alternatives?
From a person that I know who works with security a lot I've also heard this. He says that because Microsoft is much bigger, authorities already have contact with them, and it's much easier to submit such snooping requests for governments. Don't get me wrong, small companies are just as easy to threaten and get data from, but authorities don't give it much of a priority. It seems Skype is relatively hard to snoop though, changing encryption key every day... I don't know the details.

comment Automatic router admin password change
Actually @whitespy9's problem was mistyping the IP address. His DNS servers had nothing to do with it. It is interesting what happens with your router... Actually I'd think the ISP changes it or something.
