Frequent password changes as security mythology

One of the things I see trotted out in response to potential securityissues is a suggestion that we make users change their passwordfrequently. In addition to all of the practical reasons not to do this,it's useful to ask one of the most important question in security: whatrisks does this protect against, and how big are they?

事物的核心

在澳門,平靜的生活已經越來越難過,批判和埋怨彷彿成了每個人日常社交的一部分。在那些茶餘飯後的閒聊或躲在網絡的討論中,人們的情緒起伏不定,意見紛亂,思路迷糊,顯得一知半解但又熱衷以偏概全。

過去我們覺得在

曾蔭權委任九名局長助理 ,當中最年輕的是roundtable的陳智遠。本來在趕文章天昏地暗但覺關我叉事,知機的朋友點評:今晚肯定大把人訓唔著,某某肯定揼心(或者其它部位)啦,「佢做到我點解做唔到?!」看宮闈劇式幸災樂禍之

History

The awful earthquake rocked China and shocked everybody. It was unnerving for me to hear the news from Sichuan because I had just read the chapter of earthquake from Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything two weeks ago.

先談談電影《午夜凶鈴》吧!

[以下嚴重劇透!]

《午夜凶鈴》是整個凶鈴系列裏出色的,也是帶起整一連串 J-Horror 熱潮的作品之一。故事以「看錄影帶後七天會死」的城市傳聞帶起,主角淺川玲子調查外甥死亡而看到了這錄影


默哀之三

我根本沒有靜下來過。電視台則一直重播中央台過度煽情的配樂畫面。

非典型「港女」

「港女」近年頻頻得罪人,成了很多男人的眼中釘。如果「港女」是指庸俗、勢利、眼角高但又「唔照吓自己個衰樣」的香港女人,那的確非常討厭;就正如時下的三失男(失戀、失敗,並非常渴望失身),同樣

Combining dual identity routing and isolated interfaces

In theory, combining dual identity routing with isolated interfaces should be simple.However, it turns out that there is a small trick to it.

This came up today because I am in the process of migrating my officemachine from one network to another. This means that I currentlyhave three active interfaces on the machine (old IP address, new IPaddress, and an internal network), plus one end of a GRE tunnel , and as part of the migration I wanted to force therouting to work right,
