Is the use of DSA keys a security risk? Sounds to me (forgive the extreme metaphor!) like saying "but Ford Pintos can be made safe". It's undoubtedly true, but it's much easier to just avoid them. I'm not losing anything by not driving a Pinto, so why bother. Again I know this is extreme, but it should make my point clear. |

Is the use of DSA keys a security risk? It says "just using it on a system with a flawed pRNG". Given that RSA does not have this problem, shouldn't this be taken seriously as a downside of DSA? |

I just discovered that my sysadmin created a loophole that gives me root access. What should I do? I have no reason at all to suspect he would put it there intentionally. |

Is there any risk in allowing ping packets *out* through a firewall I asked, and the reply seemed to me to be a polite way of saying "I don't have the time and you wouldn't understand anyway." I didn't press the issue, though. I'm pretty sure they follow a "default deny" policy. There are a lot of credit card transactions that go through our network, which sounds to me like quite possibly a mistake (why have credit transactions from retail stores on the same network that Corporate HQ uses for everything else?). |

Is there any risk in allowing ping packets *out* through a firewall @symcbean: I realize of course you can't tell me why they think it's important. That's why I asked the more generic question: "Is there really [any] legitimate reason...?" |
