Never heard of Wireguard, so I went to their website and for a half second. I thought I cracked the screen on my new phone, because of their freaking background image....

But, it looks interesting. I'll have to check it out more.

That's how we do it where I work. We have a bastion server we SSH into to access other systems in the network.

Pretty easy to setup SSH to use it to hop through with just one command.

So the difference between a missile and a drone is that one can fly in circles a little long than the other?

I no longer use any of Google's services and neither does my employer for this reason.

We did have one application running on their cloud, but decided to move it to aws because we just can't trust them to keep anything around. Every year we had to rebuild some part of our app, because they replaced or completely removed some feature we were using. It got old and we were done with it...

Control

Companies push their own apps for control. They are very limited on the types of metrics and tracking that can be done through the browser. By pushing their own apps they become limited only by the operating system itself.

I would agree that advertisement has done a lot of damage. However, there have been a lot of really awesome things that could not have happened without it. Like YouTubers for example, so many people are able to make a living making content they love and people love to watch. I say that as many of them are now having to turn to things like patreon because advertisement is now hurting them...

New comment by amiller2571 in "Ask HN: Why did Coinhive, the in-browser crypto miner, fail?"

amiller2571 — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 21:51:17 +0000

I was still working in the security field (MSSP SOC) when Coinhive came out. It quickly because one of the prominent "threats" we had to deal with. All of our clients wanted any site that had Coinhive on it, whether or not the site owners added it or criminals did, blocked. It was view by nearly everyone in cyber security, including AV companies, as malware. It got a bad reputation because many sites didn't allow you to opt-in, and many didn't even tell you they were running it.

I've had a boss like that and his boss didn't want to remove him because he would have to admit that he made the wrong choice in promoting him.

Ask HN: What Cyber Security News sites do you read

I'm looking at collecting a list of good sites to get security news. Aside from the popular sites like DarkReading and BleepingComputer, what all lesser known sites do you get your security news from?

amiller2571 — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:10:46 +0000

I think it would be ok as long as it didn't tell you what the person's new number is or who now owns if it gets reassigned.

amiller2571 — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 02:34:31 +0000

I can understand the positive uses for such an API. For the uses you mentioned it would be great.

However, I hope nothing like that is ever made! It would get abused to no end. I've personally changed number multiple times for privacy reasons.
