I think the article is missing something visual to demonstrate the actual scoring at work.

I've made a simple plot in Excel here: http://i.imgur.com/adjaLQ9.png

The number of up-votes remains the same, while down-votes increases linearly. The scoring declining line in grey is the score.

You can even use the GUI: http://osxdaily.com/2015/04/23/sniff-packet-capture-packet-t...

There's bunch of cool options, including WiFi quality scan.

Really nice! I used https://github.com/dinedal/textql a bit, but your project seems much more practical.

It's sad that VLC checks updates over HTTP and HTTPS

How many remember the Smurf Attack –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smurf_attack ?

I remember claims that this type of attack was fixed forever. But physics doesn't change... Easily.

Working on reducing Big Data to help network security engineers investigate threats faster and respond more accurately.

The data, currently, is mainly from various Network Security Monitoring appliances & SIEMs.

Can you elaborate on this: where have you seen it? Was it a POC or in-the-wild?

I'd assume the HEADERs would be the same, e.g. basic stuff like UAS could be the same, or more low-level like Accept-* headers.

Note that this doesn't seem like a DDoS focused on high-bandwidth but rather focused on causing application load by triggering some server action and abusing the CPU/RAM, etc. In this case, Level7 analysis, is very effective and usually simple.

I think I am going to start playing with that idea. Or join you, if you're into it. I would love to be part of such a non-profit. My wife, a doctor, was very excited at the research use-cases this could help her with.

I found LightTable* as a great way to grok functional programming - you can actually see how data moves around. Really brilliant.

I am guessing they are using sound to communicate data between the device and the computer and thus confirm proximity.

This is brilliant. Very nicely done! I can totally see this grow into hacker-oriented spin-off of patientslikeme.com... parentslikeme.com?

What's wrong with NFC? I thought the goal was to walk away from external tokens like SecureID - far more secure but bulky. At least I can wear an NFC authenticator as a ring.
