This is a fairly common bug in multithreaded use of .NET Dictionary, too.

> And once you’ve realized this, the diploma starts to resemble Monopoly money. You have to start evaluating people on a case-by-case basis, instead of using the degree as a reliable proxy.

I’ve found this to be true of job titles, too.

Thanks Paul. None of those answers are addressing the main critique of the article though.

Or they are using the mobile apps more and more.

New comment by memoryfault in "Facebook CSRF leading to full account takeover (fixed)"

I disagree with that. It's a get request that is changing state server-side. That is a dead giveaway for a CSRF vulnerability.

Have you tried their latest one? The consumer version is at outlook.com

New comment by memoryfault in "Mock your HTTP responses to test your REST API"

memoryfault — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:24:32 +0000

Would someone provide an example on how this tool could be used to test a REST API? I think I'm missing something here. I'm not seeing how a fake response endpoint lets me test my REST API (shouldn't my test code invoke the API and validate that the real response was correct?)

I'm not familiar with Win32 APIs. Could you elaborate more as to how they would enable you to control the client like a zombie?

Encrypted communication is not very useful if you aren't sure who you are communicating with. Using a self-signed cert greatly increases this uncertainty.

It was also possible in 2010 via the quick access feature in the power tools extension.

It is different from the Windows app store, but MS also just released an app store for Office & SharePoint that seems to be more enterprise focused.

memoryfault — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:29:29 +0000

Aren't they recorded differently though? Even though it doesn't change the results, you should be able to tell the difference between those who vote "nay" and those who just don't vote.

memoryfault — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:48:06 +0000

Maybe I'm missing something, but how is this a danger of SOAP? You could misconfigure any endpoint.

Thanks a lot for sharing. I hadn't heard of IDA/OllyDbg before.

Fun stuff.

In chapter 1 of the Url shortener, the task is to display "Awesome" at the root path, but the validator checks for "awesome." Took me a second to notice the discrepancy.

Would love to hear more about the tools of the trade. What did you use back then for debugging/packet sniffing, and what would you use now?
