comment What about AD2P vulnerability?
@PeakReconstructionWavelength - I would hazard that those devices may very well be able to be eavesdropped on from up to a mile away. They are class 2 devices and make no mention of using the encryption that was optional (and had known weaknesses) in the V2.0 spec.

comment What about AD2P vulnerability?
@PeakReconstructionWavelength - oh, I see, it's a BT2.0 Class 2 device, so you aren't sure if it is encrypted or not. Sorry, didn't understand what you were looking for. I'll do a little digging and see what I can find for you.

comment What about AD2P vulnerability?
@PeakReconstructionWavelength - I'm not even sure how you would begin. You could try connecting with a device that isn't paired and see if you can discover or pair, but really, I think you'd need some kind of broad spectrum receiver to try to pull the raw information out of the air. I don't really think testing for vulnerabilities is all that viable on an individual's budget. Maybe someone else knows of a bluetooth radio that can do it, but I think they use frequency hoping that would make it a challenge.

comment Can Windows 7 hibernation files be recovered?
@Gilles - I didn't say there is no security implications to recovering a hibernation file, however the question did not ask about the security implications. It asked about if they CAN be recovered, not what it means to security. I agree there are security implications, but that is what the question should be then. Every question asked in the question is about what information is there and if it is possible. Not what security implications are of that info.

comment How much can I recover memory data from memory dump created when BSOD occurred?
yes, there are security implications and a question specifically about the security implications of being able to recover data from a memory dump could be on topic, but what information can be recovered in general is off-topic as there is also lots of non-security relevant data that can be recovered.

comment Can Windows 7 hibernation files be recovered?
This does seem to be off topic for Security as I don't see a security question here. I have voted to migrate to Super User.

comment How secure is using CRAM-MD5 for email authentication, when not using an SSL connection?
@E-sushi no problem, thanks for the note. Nice thing about SE is we generally get lots of great answers.
