comment If someone know my IP address?
Yes, but Arena probably doesn't really mean "anyone" so Gumbo is right to seek clarification. It is essential in security analysis to have a solid threat model. For example, is Areana concerned that Xi Jinping has instructed the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China that their top priority is to take over his Facebook page? No? Then he doesn't really mean anyone.

comment What is the origin of the three factors of authentication?
Oldest mention in the Google Books corpus of two-factor authentication seems to be 1979, but from context it seems to have been a well established term at that time.

Tried finding a link to the Zippy strip I'm quoting and all Google can find is other places it got quoted by me. Sigh.

@Hoang Minh In US patent 5731575, which covers this technique, the scheme includes a requirement that you don't allow customers to choose a palindromic PIN.

comment How get data from password protected rar file?
Ah, no, when people say brute force against AES won't work, they really mean it. A botnet of all the worlds computers won't have time to crack that RAR file, because the Sun is going to be dead in only 5 billion years.
