Been on the Internet since before there was an Internet. Remember UUCP, news feeds, and Gopher?

Does disabling right click have any impact on security? The all-time favorite time saver... You come across an image that's displayed at full resolution on the web... You're running Windows 7... Easier than rubber-banding a lamb for wetherization purposes, we give you the Snipping tool. Instantly castrates any right-click silliness or image protection silliness in one simple drag. |

How to deal with a person who gets easily fooled by internet and mail scams? Yep, we've sandboxed our special guys pretty well. I just mention the firing thing because too many times that's thrown out there by technically savvy but socially inept people who often contribute far less to the company than their egos realize. Least right user accounts are especially useful for everyone going into uncharted territory. |

How to deal with a person who gets easily fooled by internet and mail scams? @LucasKauffman - Exactly. There's far more involved than a few stupid infections. Something that getting an iPad or iAnything will never fix. Most fraud is a direct hack on users and aside from video display involves no computer clock cycles whatsoever. |

How to deal with a person who gets easily fooled by internet and mail scams? @tylerl - It's taken 10 years to accomplish 0 with two of our high end employees. Ignorance and arrogance says to just fire them. The bottom line they bring in, in their area of expertise and what they bring to the company says to fire the person stupid enough to think it's an option. |

February 7th 2013 Facebook integration error implications Not available = high security. Nobody can access it, so it's thoroughly safe. Basically, all unified login systems promoted will have this problem. if the service goes out, no access. |

February 7th 2013 Facebook integration error implications Facebook Connect login service was failing to deliver, people using their third party login method weren't able to connect. Failure to connect isn't a failure in security, rather the opposite, it's so secure you can't access anything. Kind of along the lines of an Outlook/Live/Hotmail outage, if you don't use Hotmail, you probably didn't know or care. |

Is using the same password for multiple TrueCrypted volumes safe? Domino Theory - As one falls so fall all the others. Make it easy for your attacker, they deserve a break. |

If email is insecure, why do we use it for password resets? Any other means I've seen used is even less secure. So basically, you use what you've got. |

Can law enforcement track a criminal through dynamic IP address? It will require legal means. In the case of DSL or Cable ISPs, they will have logging that ties the dynamic IP to the modem HMAC which gets recorded during provisioning. From this, you can find the billed party and their home address. Good luck if it was WiFi through an open access point though. |

Law & Ethics - I'm not be breaking the law its the computer Keep in mind that judges are trained to see through elaborated stories and excuses. Hence the saying "He's so sharp, he'd cut himself." Many's the time I've seen a case built on Rube Goldberg logic collapse because someone out-tricked themselves. Wile E. Coyote is funny in cartoons, not so funny if you've personally played the role in real life. |

Privacy in torrents? Not only do you want to be assured no logging occurs, you also will need assurance that your ISP isn't logging and doing traffic pattern analysis. |

Privacy in torrents? Exactly... Which is why the recently announced BitTorrent proxies. Given the way BitTorrent works, I'd want to do a lot of probing to make sure ALL the BitTorrent traffic is really being proxied. |

Privacy in torrents? There are a couple recently released services that offer proxying for BitTorrent. You'll need to do your own research to find out if they completely proxy everything including the many-to-many connections that BitTorrent must use to enable seeder to client traffic flow. TorrentReactor and TorGuard (not to be confused with TOR) are a couple names to plug into Google. If the proxies are set up properly so they don't pass on IP connection information, then your link to them will include your IP address, but it won't be passed on to the other end of the proxied connection. |

Privacy in torrents? the client software such as "spew" should not display IPs. He, he, um, security by obscurity, in other words, if you put a blanket over the eyes of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, it proceeds to think you don't exist because it can't see you. The OS has to be given the IP addresses so its IP stack can communicate. Netstat, et.al. are all available to find the IP addresses and also various system calls, freely available traffic analysis utilities, etc. Sysinternals will do an endrun around this obscurity in a heartbeat. The average person knows a blanket doesn't cause existence loss. |

Privacy in torrents? Torrent client to hide the ip of one user from the other. Magic would do well for that. TCP/IP requires the two endpoints to know the assigned IP number in order to deliver the packets. The poser of the question has a profound knowledge deficit as to how TCP/IP works. |
