May 8	comment	Is it okay to reveal database's table names? @acolyte No worries, obviously I should have been more explicit. It's not you I was referring to but the conceited, prejudgemental SE meta-culture partly demonstrated here.
May 8	comment	Is it okay to reveal database's table names? And I cannot be more than glad to be reminded of that StackExchange-spawn web sites have a strict policy against humor in valid answers. That's not the first time I was warned about exposing my humane side and even punished for that. I'm sure that with sufficient effort, all SE users will fail Turing test at some point. Good job.
May 8	comment	Is it okay to reveal database's table names? IT history contains many instances of "code/db goes public and becomes a PR scandal" events (such as Windows code containing swearwords, LinkedIn DB containing unsalted passwords). Table names are no exception. A table named after a joke, or containing EULA-violating information can be a big scandal for a company. If this does not makes sense still I don't know what does.
May 8	comment	Is it okay to reveal database's table names? @Adnan my answer isn't a joke. I argued that table names if chosen badly, can put the company at legal/PR risk. It'sa perfectly valid possibility. My example of "single_female_users" was a joke, the rest, claiming that they are unrealistic requires a premise, such as an answer to "why?".
May 8	comment	Is it okay to reveal database's table names? @acolyte no, I was making a joke with single_female_users? oh my god this is getting more and more awkward. I think I'm slightly being pushed to explain the joke itself.

Apr 2	comment	Why improvising your own Hash function out of existing hash functions is so bad why not add a `sleep(15000);` after each hash? sure benefits are unknown but it certainly doesn't make it less secure :)

Feb 18	answered	What is better, an established framework or a homebrew solution?
Feb 2	comment	is there a safe way to login to my gmail account from a public pc? +1 for mentioning password exposure. the gmail account will be safe but the password won't be.
Jan 21	comment	Can law enforcement track a criminal through dynamic IP address? Bear in mind that IP addresses point to an ISP subscriber and that subscriber doesn't have to be your thief. If an IP address points to a Starbucks it may not be easy.
Jan 3	revised	How is certificate forgery with cheap CA's prevented? added 184 characters in body
Jan 3	comment	How is certificate forgery with cheap CA's prevented? Apparently Google doesn't do it for Chrome, according to the news they had to take countermeasures after a forgery has been found: googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2013/01/…
Jan 2	comment	How can I embed iframe securely without restricting its functionality? If the IFrame content is untrusted, trusting it for `_blank` isn't such a good idea either. It can easily fool a user by opening a `_blank` for the login page of the same site on a phishing server. User may not notice that a new tab is opened.
Jan 2	comment	What is this authentication method/approach called? According to Wikipedia page the term "Knowledge based authentication" seems to be used for "secret question" schemes, not the one OP asked.
