Lack of Updates
Hey everyone, I wanted to touch base with you all on that is going on with me. I apologize for the lack of posting goodies this past week. As many of you know, I am in the process of purchasing a house, my first house to be exact. Being this is my first attempt at the buying process, I have discovered how much work actually goes into purchasing a house.
Instead of posting about tech news, I have been dealing with appraisals, inspections, mortgages, and more! I am set to close on my house December 1st, 2008, yay! I have a few week break between now and when I move in, so I am going to take this time to try and post as much content as I can.
The House
Some of you might be interested in my house, and some of you might not, but I am going to talk about it anyways haha. I am purchasing a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, end-unit town home here is Atlanta, GA. I am super excited. This is my first ever house, and it is a very nice place. I can thank the economy for getting me such a good price. Below are some pictures. I hope you all like!
The house is in great shape, it is newly painted in and out. I t also has a very well groomed backyard and side yard. Now all I need is furniture, I am currently only renting a room in a house, so all the furniture I have is just office and Bedroom.
I promise you more post are the way.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! Every bit of food stuff we consume is a potential source of energy fueling our mental and physical performances. This energy more commonly known as the calorie is essential to our health but can quickly turn into a health hazard if unbalanced. If the energy we consume on a daily basis does not equate to the energy we expend that energy does not merely go away instead it sticks with us and is stored as fat.
EATING HEALTHY MEANS EATING MORE! Eating healthy does not mean you will be missing meals and starving. In fact by eating the correct amount of macro nutrient combination of complex carbohydrates, poly and mono saturated fats, plenty of protein and in combination with your fitness program you are likely to be eating more and more frequently throughout your day.
GET MORE ENERGY! While this seems like a simple equation keeping this balance is a challenge especially in today's society. Everywhere we turn we are surrounded by high energy dense processed foods leaving that leave us feeling lethargic and fill our bodies with unnecessary excess calories. We will design a NUTRIENT DENSE meal plan specific to your individual needs that will have you feeling fantastic!
STOP LOOKING AT THE SCALE! How your clothes fit and what you see in the mirror is a far better way to track your progress. Fat outweighs muscle by a 5:1 ratio. This being said someone in a size 5 with a lot of lean muscle mass could weigh as much as someone in a size 10 whom has less lean muscle mass and higher body fat composition. Plus your water weight can fluctuate up to 10 lbs a day! Your fitness goal will be oriented to helping to obtain that healthy lean mass.

Credit Scoring and the Availability, Price, and Risk of Small Business Credit
Allen N. Berger, W. Scott Frame, and Nathan H. Miller
Working Paper 2002-6
April 2002
Download the full text of this paper in PDF format - (211 KB)
The authors examine the economic effects of small business credit scoring (SBCS) and find that it is associated with expanded quantities, higher average prices, and greater risk levels for small business credits under $100,000. These findings are consistent with a net increase in lending to relatively risky "marginal borrowers" who would otherwise not receive credit, but who would pay relatively high prices when they are funded. The authors also find that 1) bank-specific and industrywide learning curves are important; 2) SBCS effects differ for banks that adhere to "rules" versus "discretion" in using the technology; and 3) SBCS effects differ for slightly larger credits.
JEL classification: G21, G28, G34, L23
Key words: banks, credit scoring, small business, risk
The authors thank Bob Avery, Chris Cornwell, Bob Eisenbeis, Jill Richardson, Greg Udell, Larry Wall, Cordell Weiss, and seminar participants at the University of Georgia and the 2001 Credit Scoring and Credit Control meetings in Edinburgh, Scotland, for helpful comments and suggestions.

Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper is the central act of Christian worship, in which the Church responds to our Lord's command, given at the Last Supper, "Do this in remembrance of me".
The Holy Communion Service is usually conducted at the end of the morning service on the first Sunday of the month, as some members of the congregation do not wish, or feel unable, to take part in the service. Twice or three times a year the sacrament is celebrated at the evening service.
Although most Methodist worship services do not follow a liturgy, the Methodist Worship Book contains nine liturgies for Communion services, six of these specifically prepared for seasons of the Christian Year, for example, Christmas, Easter and Pentecost.
The minister presides at the Communion service and is assisted by a Local Preacher. The people come forward and kneel at the Communion Rail to receive the bread and wine, which is given in small individual cups.

People will argue over the proper way to enjoy 15-year-old Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve bourbon. Some say it's best in a tulip glass, neat, while others insist on sipping it cold over a single chunk of ice.
The truth is, Pappy is best enjoyed as a slug taken straight from the bottle while standing in a cloud of smoke from a barbecue pit, preferably one overlooking a lazy Lowcountry creek dappled by the setting sun.
That was proven Thursday night at Boone Hall when Sean Brock and the team from McCrady's welcomed Daniel Humm and Will Guidara to Charleston. They're the executive chef and general manager, respectively, of Eleven Madison Park in New York, and the event was a celebration of their second cookbook, I Love New York: Ingredients and Recipes.
It's been an eventful year for Humm and Guidara. Back in the fall, they ditched their restaurant's a la carte menu and replaced it with a four-hour, $195 prix fixe tasting parade. The move raised plenty of eyebrows and drew a few choice brickbats from critics, but after a few adjustments, it's garnered them plenty of rave reviews as well, including landing them in the number 5 spot on Restaurant Magazine's much-discussed list of the World's 500 Best Restaurants.
But there was no pastrami or Long Island duck in sight Thursday night. Their focus may be on opposite sides of the Mason Dixon line, but Brock and Humm share a deep passion for local ingredients and traditional preparations, and Brock rolled out a bang-up Lowcountry feast to welcome the Yankees.
It started with a Lowcountry boil brimming with heads-on shrimp and whole blue crab, dumped in a cloud of steam on a long table so hungry diners could dig in. Barbecue king Rodney Scott was on hand, too, cooking a whole hog on a mobile pit borrowed from the Jim 'n Nick's boys, fired by a steady supply of coals from his signature burn barrel.
Scott's been a busy man lately. He'd spent the previous weekend up in New York City himself, wowing the cityfolk at the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. He got started for the Boone Hall event at 6 a.m. that morning, and the next day was going to pack up and head to the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee, where he would cook pigs with the Fatback Collective.
"This is amazing," Daniel Humm said as he sampled a fingerful of pork pulled straight from the pit. "I'm just hanging out and taking it all in."
As the setting sun sent long beams of orange light slicing through the haze of smoke from Scott's pit, Brock broke out a bottle of Pappy, took a slug, and then began circulating it around the guests gathered under the trees and out on the cotton dock.
That's how it's done in the Lowcountry, youse guys.

PGA Tour Offering Schwab Cups And Tourney To-Be-Named-Later To Remedy Ironclad Contract Nuisance/
Ron Kroichick reports that the pesky "ironclad" PGA Tour contract with the City of San Francisco for a 2013 or '14 penultimate playoff event at Harding Park is leading to a new offer so that Conway Farms can host the BMW Championship in 2013.
"We've told all the parties the same thing throughout this dialogue: Look, we have a contract with the city of San Francisco to bring the penultimate playoff event there in 2013 or '14," tour executive David Pillsbury said Wednesday. "Until we are able to secure approval from the city to do otherwise, we plan on honoring our contractual agreement.
"We're hopeful, but it's not done until it's done. ... I think ultimately (the revised agreement) is good for the game of golf, for San Francisco and for Harding Park."
Rec and Park general manager Phil Ginsburg plans to soon bring the proposal, which includes another marquee PGA Tour event in 2017, '18 or '19, to the commission.
"We are in the process of finalizing an amendment that would move a tour playoff event to 2016 but also add two Schwab Cups," Ginsburg said.

Description: This is the final version of the article. It first appeared from Nature Publishing Group via http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NCOMMS12784.
Abstract: One-dimensional electronic fluids are peculiar conducting systems, where the fundamental role of interactions leads to exotic, emergent phenomena, such as spin-charge (spinon-holon) separation. The distinct low-energy properties of these 1D metals are successfully described within the theory of linear Luttinger liquids, but the challenging task of describing their high-energy nonlinear properties has long remained elusive. Recently, novel theoretical approaches accounting for nonlinearity have been developed, yet the rich phenomenology that they predict remains barely explored experimentally. Here, we probe the nonlinear spectral characteristics of short GaAs quantum wires by tunnelling spectroscopy, using an advanced device consisting of 6000 wires. We find evidence for the existence of an inverted (spinon) shadow band in the main region of the particle sector, one of the central predictions of the new nonlinear theories. A (holon) band with reduced effective mass is clearly visible in the particle sector at high energies.

Commission concludes on Microsoft investigation, imposes conduct remedies and a fine
The European Commission has concluded, after a five-year investigation, that Microsoft Corporation broke European Union competition law by leveraging its near monopoly in the market for PC operating systems (OS) onto the markets for work group server operating systems(1) and for media players(2). Because the illegal behaviour is still ongoing, the Commission has ordered Microsoft to disclose to competitors, within 120 days, the interfaces(3) required for their products to be able to 'talk' with the ubiquitous Windows OS. Microsoft is also required, within 90 days, to offer a version of its Windows OS without Windows Media Player to PC manufacturers (or when selling directly to end users). In addition, Microsoft is fined € 497 million for abusing its market power in the EU.
"Dominant companies have a special responsibility to ensure that the way they do business doesn't prevent competition on the merits and does not harm consumers and innovation " said European Competition Commissioner Mario Monti. "Today's decision restores the conditions for fair competition in the markets concerned and establish clear principles for the future conduct of a company with such a strong dominant position," he added.
After an exhaustive and extensive investigation of more than five years and three statements of objections(4), the Commission has today taken a decision finding that US software company Microsoft Corporation has violated the EU Treaty's competition rules by abusing its near monopoly(5) (Article 82) in the PC operating system.
Microsoft abused its market power by deliberately restricting interoperability between Windows PCs and non-Microsoft work group servers, and by tying its Windows Media Player (WMP), a product where it faced competition, with its ubiquitous Windows operating system.
This illegal conduct has enabled Microsoft to acquire a dominant position in the market for work group server operating systems, which are at the heart of corporate IT networks, and risks eliminating competition altogether in that market. In addition, Microsoft's conduct has significantly weakened competition on the media player market.
The ongoing abuses act as a brake on innovation and harm the competitive process and consumers, who ultimately end up with less choice and facing higher prices.
For these very serious abuses, which have been ongoing for five and a half years, the Commission has imposed a fine of € 497.2 million.
In order to restore the conditions of fair competition, the Commission has imposed the following remedies:
To the extent that any of this interface information might be protected by intellectual property in the European Economic Area(6), Microsoft would be entitled to reasonable remuneration. The disclosure order concerns the interface documentation only, and not the Windows source code, as this is not necessary to achieve the development of interoperable products.
Microsoft retains the right to offer a version of its Windows client PC operating system product with WMP. However, Microsoft must refrain from using any commercial, technological or contractual terms that would have the effect of rendering the unbundled version of Windows less attractive or performing. In particular, it must not give PC manufacturers a discount conditional on their buying Windows together with WMP.
The Commission believes the remedies will bring the antitrust violations to an end, that they are proportionate, and that they establish clear principles for the future conduct of the company.
To ensure effective and timely compliance with this decision, the Commission will appoint a Monitoring Trustee, which will, inter alia, oversee that Microsoft's interface disclosures are complete and accurate, and that the two versions of Windows are equivalent in terms of performance.
The investigation
In December 1998, Sun Microsystems, another US company, complained that Microsoft had refused to provide interface information necessary for Sun to be able to develop products that would "talk" properly with the ubiquitous Windows PCs, and hence be able to compete on an equal footing in the market for work group server operating systems.
The Commission's investigation revealed that Sun was not the only company that had been refused this information, and that these non-disclosures by Microsoft were part of a broader strategy designed to shut competitors out of the market.
This relegated to a secondary position competition in terms of reliability, security and speed, among other factors, and ensured Microsoft's success on the market. As a result, an overwhelming majority of customers informed the Commission that Microsoft's non-disclosure of interface information artificially altered their choice in favour of Microsoft's server products. Survey responses submitted by Microsoft itself confirmed the link between the interoperability advantage that Microsoft reserved for itself and its growing market shares.
In 2000, the Commission enlarged its investigation, on its own initiative, to study the effects of the tying of Microsoft's Windows Media Player with the company's Windows 2000 PC operating system.
This part of the investigation concluded that the ubiquity which was immediately afforded to WMP as a result of it being tied with the Windows PC OS artificially reduces the incentives of music, film and other media companies, as well software developers and content providers to develop their offerings to competing media players.
As a result, Microsoft's tying of its media player product has the effect of foreclosing the market to competitors, and hence ultimately reducing consumer choice, since competing products are set at a disadvantage which is not related to their price or quality.
Available data already show a clear trend in favour of WMP and Windows Media technology. Absent intervention from the Commission, the tying of WMP with Windows is likely to make the market "tip" definitively in Microsoft's favour. This would allow Microsoft to control related markets in the digital media sector, such as encoding technology, software for broadcasting of music over the Internet and digital rights management etc.
More generally, the Commission is concerned that Microsoft's tying of WMP is an example of a more general business model which, given Microsoft's virtual monopoly in PC operating systems, deters innovation and reduces consumer choice in any technologies which Microsoft could conceivably take interest in and tie with Windows in the future.
Note to editors
The European Commission enforces EU competition rules on restrictive business practices and abuses of monopoly power for the whole of the European Union when cross-border trade and competition are affected.
The Commission has the power to force changes in company behaviour and to impose financial penalties for antitrust violations of up to 10% of their annual turnover worldwide.
Commission decisions can be appealed to the European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg.
(1) These are operating systems running on central network computers that provide services to office workers around the world in their day-to-day work such as file and printer sharing, security and user identity management.
(2) A media player is a software product that is able to play back music and video content over the Internet.
(3) The interfaces do not concern the Windows source code as this is not necessary to achieve the development of interoperable products. The interfaces are the hooks at the edge of the source code which allow one product to talk to another.
(4) A Statement of Objections marks the opening of a formal investigation as the Commission states its charges or objections to the company(ies) concerned.
(5) Microsofts operating systems equip more than 95% of the worlds personal computers.
(6) The European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

1) How To
2) Probabilities
3) Energy Needed
4) Size of Wordlist files
I have received a lot of questions in regards to cracking WPA with KisMAC, or any other "WPA cracker"
Alas, a lot of them showed deep signs of misunderstanding in regards to the basics of WPA. (Not WEP, WPA!)
If you are here for the dictionary attack files, you may want to consider this page HERE
You may make a small donation and receive a pack of State-Of-The-Art WPA Dictionary Attack files or Wordlists
For the Top Used Passwords, it's here
For Installing Aircrack-ng on your Mac, it's here (10x recovery speed)
Otherwise, if you are on the cheap side, and before I start, I would suggest you to watch the following video. If you already know KisMAC jump directly to 05:14.
If you are not a KisMAC expert, watch it entirely. Take a pause. Repeat.
Few Things:
We are here, specifically talking about KisMAC & Aircrack, Not "pro" rated dedicated hardware or large scale operations (Electronic Frontier, CIA, NSA, Botnet & Al.)
- WPA passwords have between 8 and 63 Characters
- The only known (as of Jan 2010) vulnerability to WPA is a Bruteforce attack.
- A Bruteforce Attack is simply to try password after password after password.... either precomputed or listed in a file.
The password or "Key" in a WPA is "Salted" and "hashed", Hence when KisMAC or Aircrack "read" a password in a Wordlist, it has to "de-hash" the password 4096 times before really trying it!
The precomputed solution involves rainbow tables, the downturn is that you have to stick to specific precomputed tables only working whit ONE specific SSID.
A Bruteforce attack is:
a) Time consuming
b) The most "simplest" attack, hence the dumbest.
c) Time consuming
d) Not guaranteed to work
e) Time consuming
If you are in hurry, you can jump directly here and start downloading wordlists and dictionary files, but before you do, I would highly suggest reading the following or you may find yourself highly disappointed.
Tip #1 Having Aircrack-ng on hand and ready to run is a very good idea: It will make any recovery attempt about 10 times faster. Even better, take a try at Pyrit-cuda. Pyrit-CUDA is at least 2 times faster than Aircrack-ng. Sometimes, much much more...
Tip #2 A Wordlist is only as good as the password listed inside. You can find wordlists of about 30GB in size that contains 99% junk. It's useless! and you waste 99% of your time.
A good wordlist should be composed of known password used by real people, and sorted by most used first: It may shorten you recovery attempt by few hours ....Or days ....
This Dictionary is made only of real passwords, then all occurrences are counted and then sorted by the most used first.
Why? humans are really bad at passwords, so they tend to use the sames ones.
When you generate your own wordlist, the generator often creates them in a alphanumerical order.
- Let's pretend that the password to crack is "123456789" and that you are generating a Wordlist made out of:
- Only numbers
- Between 8 and 10 Character long
First issue, the Wordlist is 14,560,526,225 characters long, and that translate to 14560 MB
Second issue, the password 123456789, will be, at best , on position 123,456,789 and it would have taken you about 114 hours to reach that position.
If you have a "smart" Wordlist, with the most used first, you're in for about 1 second.
(123456789 is one of the most used passwords)
So, it's your call: 114hours or 1 second? Personally, I would take the shortcut
Now, if you plan on all Alphanumerical characters, 8ch long, it's 2 petabytes of size ...
You can create your own, download them, or take the shortcut
You can also read more about hacking Wireless: I personally highly recommend
the following book: Hacking Exposed Wireless, by Cache, Wright & Liu. Joshua Wright is the Author of the CoWPAtty software.
Everything is explained in detail, from the ground up.
Back to business: Cracking WPA
Step 1:
Capture the 4way Handshake
Before doing anything, you need to capture the handshake between the AP (Access Point) and the Client. The handshake is sent when a client connects to the AP. This process of "listening" to the AP-Client can take some time. In order to speed up this process you can use a Deauthentication Attack. The Deauthentication is a bit like a Ddos and will simulate a "kick out"and force the AP to respond.
Step 2:
Once the handshake has been captured (green gem), just use either:
KisMAC or Aircrack-ng. Just for speed sake, I use Aircrack. Aircrack is churning about 10 X faster than KisMAC when it comes to WPA.
As a repeat:
How to install Aircrack Native on Mac
Pyrit-CUDA on a Mac
Why is it so long to crack WPA?
You may noted that I mentioned "Time Consuming" 3 times.
Here is why:
First, the shear number of possibilities is mind boggling! A WPA is between 8 and 63 characters long. (numbers, LETters and signs)
Second, a WPA password is "Hashed" and "Salted". No it does not mean "cooked"
it's the old trick of taking the character "H" and transforming it into a "Z" for example.
Now, if you do that on a table of 127 characters, multiple times in a row, it's getting complex to decipher.
Well, a WPA is hashed 4096 times ....
So, Aircrack-ng or KisMAC have to churn 4096 times before trying the password. Trying to decipher a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) is equivalent to pushing about 1MB of data trough your CPU. 1400 PMK/s is 1400 MB sec of data being computed. This is why you'll see 99% resource used. The CPU is at full blast!
It slows down the process, and it's made for that purpose.
One solution is to use your GPU to help the CPU crunching data. (CUDA) and the other is to pre-compute the PMKs. Once precomputed, Pyrit will go trough it like soft butter.
It is widely recognized that, you have a chance to find the password before you run the all test. That chance is 50%.
Hence, you -theoretically- could find the password in half the time needed to run all the possibilities.
That was the good news.
Now, the bad news:
Energy Needed
Size of Wordlist files
Let's assume that a "password" to be cracked is composed of 1 Character and only composed of numbers: The possible solution is either : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
We then have 10 possibilities maximum.
Now, we move to a 2 characters password
The possible solution is either : 0, 1..., 11, 12, ....22, 23, 24....95, 96, 97, 98, 99
We then have 100 possibilities.
Adding a simple 1 character to the password made the possibilities jump from 10 to 100.
We understand now that it's not a multiplication, but the power of.
The issue?
We said previously "WPA is between 8 and 63 Characters"
Numbers : 10 Possibilities per digit
10^8 = 100,000,000. That is 100 million possibilities
If the password is 63 Characters long:
10^63 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
That's a vigintillion (!)
And this number is only for passwords made only of numbers.
Now, go get an Advil and come back after.
Picture that: Each password has the size of grain of sand! very fine sand, about 0.15mm
ok? Pictured?
Now, you have Aircrack-ng installed, and run about 1750 passwords per second
Let's assume that you know that the password is made ONLY of letters, mixed Cap.
You also know that the password is 10Ch long, something like that: "MyPassWord"
As you do not have any statisticaly sorted Wordlist, you'll try them one by one, starting at:"aaaaaaaaaa" and finishing at "ZZZZZZZZZZ"
So: "aaaaaaaaaa" "aaaaaaaab" "aaaaaaaaac" "aaaaaaaaad" etc etc
You now have an hourglass, and the sand flows at a rate of 1750 grain of sands per second....
So, your 10^52 possibilities translate by an hourglass of ? size please?
Only 60 cubic miles!
at the rate of 1750 grains/second, you will fill a inch cube in about 45min , or a cubic foot in a bit less than 54 days...
That is unless you have a statistically sorted Wordlist.
Possibilities by Character type:
Numbers only: 10 per Ch.
Letters, lower case 26 per Ch.
Letter, lower and upper case 52 per Ch
Numbers + Letters 62 per Ch
Numbers + Letters + Shift 74 per Ch !@#$%^&*()_+
Printable Characters 127 per Ch (including "space")
Full ASCII 255 per Ch (including "space")
So, here we are.
A very stupid "average password" length of 9 Ch, composed of letters only, will run at:
2,779,905,883,635,710 possibilities.
If the "password creator" had the bad idea to use the full range: 4.55892E+21 possibilities.
So, as KisMAC runs at about 150 passwords per second, you can expect to crack a WPA using "blind bruteforce" in a bit less than ......
Take a guess...
6 Months?
13,7 Years?
900 Years?
131 Million Years?
Longer than the universe has existed?
10 times longer than the universe has existed?
And your answer is .... ?
Click here to find.
Okey, I know .... rainbow tables, precomputed tables, distributed attack and Moore's Law.
So, your dad is Bill Gates, and he buys you 100,000 computers running each at 1,000,000 passwords per second.
Still, a mere 23,611,832,414 years to go.... Still twice as old as the universe.
If ALL the people on earth had a laptop and were doing it simultaneously, it would still take 2.2 billion years to crack a random password type: -M ^7$:@é
The mythical googol number 1 and 100 zeros is reached at 42 characters ASCII password: 1.1876E+101
So, the odd of cracking a 42 ch at the first try is equivalent to tossing 333 coins in the air and having all of them landing on the head.
But here comes the funny part....
Supraconductor CPUs are not invented yet .... hence, you consume energy and produce heat ...
My MacbookPro, as per Apple, can consume up to 263 Watts and produce up to 800 BTU/h on intensive use. Password cracking is very intensive.
Where i am, a kWh is about $0.20
So, what could be the cost of running a Bruteforce attack on a 9 ch long password, full ASCII?
Very simple ... time x power needed = 4.98681901 × 1016 gigawatts
In short, you'll need more electricity than the world produced in 2006. About 3 times more.
The electrical bill would bankrupt the USA, and you'll produce a heat wave able to boil an ocean.
BTUs speaking, it's equivalent of burning: 1,196,836,561 Billion of gallons of gasoline
or just 7,978,910,409,456,55,000 Cords of wood (a Cord is 3.6 cubic meter (for you metric adorateurs)
The cost of the joke, as of 2010, would be $ 9.9 Trillions of Trillions of Dollars.
So when I hear, or see, people pretending cracking WPA in 75% of instance in less than 2 hours... I have some doubts ... I seriously would like to see that with my own eyes.
All demos on YouTube are showing either: Password known by the demonstrator or pseudo test made with 2 ch left to find.
In my humble opinion, cracking in "Blind mode" is just pure waste of time and electricity. You have greater chances to win the lottery than to crack a random 15 Ch in your lifetime. (with our actual possibilities)
The third reason why I don't try in "Blind Mode" is the shear size of the Wordlist(s).
Let's take a look and assume that you know that a password is only composed of numbers, and Oh! luck! it's JUST 8 Characters. In Short a baby WPA password.
As you do not know any of the numbers of the password, you decide to create a wordlist with a generator
Starting at 00000000 and finishing at 999999999 (all permutations)
the result will create a dictionary file (.txt) of 954 megabytes
For the Geek of it , look at the following table
Numbers Only
8 Ch 954 megabytes
10 Ch 114,688 megabytes
15 Ch 16,106,127,360 megabytes or just a bit more than 31,500 500GB hard drive.
As for letters, lower case only
8 Ch 2,097,152 megabytes
10 Ch 2,147,483,648 megabytes
etc etc ...Got space?
You have now grasped the issue: Running a Bruteforce Attack on blind mode is highly inefficient
If you go "pro", yes, you could: Very large distributed attack can run about 90,000,000,000 tests per seconds, and consume enough electricity to sustain a small town...
I suppose now you understand why Phishing was invented, ditto for Keyloggers.
Nevertheless, you'll be (-may be-) able to crack if you use your brain before.
- Test with known passwords first and develop from there.
- Use appropriate dictionary files (the Russian one will not help you if you are Japan)
- Use your brain
- Precompute when possible, If possible
- Look for existing data on password occurrence (what is the average password length, most used characters, least used , language, etc )
- If you NEED a connection, just ask your neighbor (politely)
- Use a 6 or 12 pack as lubricant.
- USE Flowers or chocolate if your neighbor is a "she". You may get more than one connection.
You may have heard of the Yahoo! password heist.
10,000 passwords and emails listed on the web, plus another 30,000 accounts of Gmail and Comcast compromised.
According to serious sources, the list was a possible snippet of 250,000 emails and passwords for resale.
Email? not a big deal, huh? who cares? they just need to read your emails, go to your online banking, and reset the password. They will get the message. You won't ....
I could not access the list on time*, but the excellent Reusable Security Blog did
Here is his (Matt Weir) analysis about what you use

"Here is an interesting detail about Trump's new executive order on immigration: Thousands of America's doctors hail from the six affected countries," AJ Willingham writes for CNN.
"According to the Immigrant Doctors Project, headed by researchers from Harvard and MIT, more than 7,000 physicians in the US were trained in a country blacklisted under the new immigration order."
"Cities and states in the Midwest have a high concentration of doctors whose backgrounds mean they would be affected by the new travel ban. Again, it's not just about the doctors themselves — it's also about the patients they treat. Other than California and New York, which top the list by population density and diversity alone, the states that rely most on physicians trained in travel ban countries are Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Florida."Save to Favorites

Author Notes: It's no secret that there are a plethora of peach recipes out there in the world. So when I started contemplating the fate of a carton of peaches I couldn't resist buying, I decided to pull from both the sweet and savory ends of the spectrum, in the hope I would land on something delicious I hadn't quite seen before. Ultimately, my inspiration arose dually from a tangy peach sauce I made for pork chops one night (fresh peaches, rosemary, shallots and a little vinegar to cut the syrupiness) and tarte tatin (apples caramelized in plenty of butter and sugar). For my tart, I used still-firm peaches in place of apples, but also added pear brandy (for an earthy kick) and rosemary and spices (for a hint of aromatics). The crust and crumble are adaptations of a graham cracker crust, but I like to use English digestives instead, as they are much easier to break down, and also buttery and salty in their own right. - cristinasciarra —Cristina Sciarra
Food52 Review: I enjoyed the caramel and rosemary flavor combination of this recipe. That, along with the fact that the fruit is poached in the buttery juices, gives the peaches a pleasant autumnal touch. My crust never formed a crisp shell in the tart shapes, so this desert retained the feel of a real old-fashioned crumble. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the crumble because I found it to be, along with the digestives, just a touch too sweet, but those with a real sweet tooth will rejoice! - nogaga —nogaga
Makes: 5 individual tarts, or 1 large
Filling Ingredients
medium peaches (fresh, but not too ripe)
tablespoon lemon juice
cup pear brandy
cup light brown sugar
stick unsalted butter
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
teaspoon nutmeg
teaspoon cinnamon
sprig rosemary
Crust and Crumble Ingredients
package Mcvities digestives
stick salted butter, chilled
cup light brown sugar
Filling Ingredients
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Wash, peel and segment peaches. Toss with lemon juice, and set aside.
- In a large sauté pan, completely incorporate pear brandy with sugar. (I like pear for its mild sweetness, but pick the fruit you like). On medium-high heat, cook the sugar mix until it is bubbly and fragrant.
- Add butter, and when it's melted, add peaches, vanilla, spices and rosemary. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the peaches start to caramelize. (Watch them carefully in the last few minutes so they don't burn! Remember, even after you turn off the heat, they will continue cooking for a few minutes).
- Spoon peaches into pie shells. Top with crumbles, and bake for about 10 minutes, until bubbling.
Crust and Crumble Ingredients
- Empty digestives into a large bowl. Using the heel of a glass, crush until you achieve the consistency of sand. (I promise, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes).
- Cut the butter, and then use your fingers to incorporate with crumbled digestives. Add the brown sugar, and integrate that too. (You are looking for a texture like wet sand).
- Spoon the mixture into tart shells, and then use your fingers to form a crust.
- After you have filled the tart shell with peaches, sprinkle the remaining crust crumbles over peaches to form a topping.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

The Public Safety Department of the City of Wolf Point is another major function of government which has as its objective the protection of person and property, i.e. police protection, fire protection, and animal control. This department employs approximately 8 full-time employees and 25 volunteers.
Equipment purchased in 1937 included an American LaFrance pumper. The pumper had the ability to pump 500 gallons per minute. Another American LaFrance pumper was purchased in 1957. This truck is still in the possession of the WPVFD and is displayed at parades quite often. A Pierce pumper was purchased in 1974 and in the 1980's the grass fighting rigs were also updated. In 1991 a new Pierce pumper was added as well as a large tender, which was built by the department and an extrication vehicle. Also purchased were SCBA gear, 3 high band portable radios and an air compressor. In 2000 a grass rig was totally revamped and rebuilt from the bottom up. A donated 1976 engine was received from an organization in Ohio.
The department took over their present site on Main Street next to the City Hall in 1974. Prior to that they had occupied the Old Library building which had been the firehall since 1949. The original fire hall had been located in the building that is now used as the City Office building. The fire hall has seven stalls for fire trucks and houses 3 city pumpers, four (4) grass firefighting rigs, one water tender capable of storing 4,400 gals of transportable water and one crash truck that responds to accidents. There are currently 25 members of the Wolf Point Volunteer Fire Department which responds to both city and rural fires.
Since 1914, all the firefighters have remained volunteers. Although they do receive budgeted income, each year they also rely on the generosity of the town they work to protect. It is this generosity that helps maintain a local, quality fire fighting response unit. The Wolf Point Volunteer Fire Department recently held its 94th Annual Firemen's Ball.

Mt. Vic Flicks
2a Harley Avenue,
Mount Victoria,
2a Harley Avenue,Mount Victoria, NSW 2786
1 person favorited this theater
Opened as the Mount Victoria Public Hall in 1934, it is a typical example of a country 'picture hall'. There is a paybox at the entrance and no foyer, as once you pass through the doors you are inside the auditorium. Seating is on one level and the floor has virtually no rake. The candy counter is located beside the screen and is open prior to the start of the programme. By 1951, it was operating as the Institute Cinema.
The cinema was re-established in 1987 and operates as a family owned single screen, now known as Mt. Vic Flicks.

Anti-abortionists attack Sabina
Sabina Higgins attracts criticism from 'pro-life' groups
The wife of President Michael D Higgins, Mrs. Sabina Higgins, has come in for public criticism from 'pro-life' anti-abortionists in Ireland for her outspoken criticism of Ireland's abortion laws.
Specifically, Mrs. Higgins told a conference of midwives that Irish law that requires women to carry foetuses with fatal abnormalities – and who cannot live at birth – to full terms was "an outrage".
She was speaking after a debate organised by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland in Trinity College last week when she said: "There has to be the choice that you know that, what do you call it, that fatal foetal abnormality, that the person or persons should be made carry, you know, and sit in, you know.
"These are really outrages against women and outrages against the world and nature."
Mrs. Higgins originally stumbled on her words but clarified she was referring to "fatal foetal abnormalities" NOT "foetal abnormalities" as suggested by anti-abortion critics who seized on her original verbal stumble. Constitutionally, the President of Ireland must avoid commenting on domestic politics but there are no such restrictions on the President's spouse.
In the past Mrs Higgins has shared a platform with advocates calling for the repeal of the 8th amendment to Ireland's Constitution, introduced in 1983 to ensure the ban on abortion in Ireland cannot be overturned – except by referendum.
Anti-abortion campaigner Senator Rónán Mullen called her "regrettable" and said: "Many of those who voted for her husband in the 2011 presidential election would have done so on the understanding that there would be no inappropriate interference from the presidential household in political matters.
"In her comments, she has failed to speak to the experience of all families who received a tragic diagnosis during a pregnancy – and many will have been deeply wounded by her denial of their deceased children's dignity and rights.
Anti-abortion lobbyists The Life Institute's Niamh Uí Bhriain said it was an "attack on the Constitutional right to life of unborn babies".
As such it was, she said, "an absolute abuse of power and privilege" and "particularly offensive to families who had lost a child to a life-limiting condition".
"The President's wife is unelected but uses the platform of the supposedly non-political office of her husband to amplify her support for abortion," she said.
"The fact that she has targeted babies with a disability to justify an abortion call is, in my view, reprehensible phrases like 'fatal foetal abnormality', which are not a medical diagnosis."

Jean-Pierre Ohl is a novelist and a bookseller. His brother Michel is also a novelist. His best friend is a bookseller and a publisher. His girlfriend is a bookseller, as is his ex-wife, and his 17-year-old son would like to follow in their footsteps. Morrissey's famous bibliophile lyric - "There's more to life than books, y'know, but not much more" - might almost have been written for him.
Ohl laughs when I tell him this. We're eating lunch in a restaurant/bookshop in Bordeaux, the city where he lives and works. "I've never heard that line before, but I like it. While I am conscious that there is more to life than books, I couldn't live in a world without them. I would compare my feeling about books to that of belonging to a nation. Books are my country, but I am fully aware that other people live in other countries."
Monsieur Dick, Ohl's first novel, came out in France four years ago and has won three literary prizes. The English translation has just been published by Dedalus as Mr Dick. "How do you think that title will be received in Britain?" the author asks me, understanding all too well the potential snigger factor. Mr Dick is a character from David Copperfield and Ohl's book is in many ways a homage to Dickens. It is the story of two young Frenchmen whose lives are consumed by their obsession with Dickens's life and books and in particular his final, unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It's a playful and highly literary detective story, like a Gallic mélange of Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes and AS Byatt's Possession
Early in the story, the narrator François Daumal, then an adolescent, discovers his grandfather's attic, the walls and floor of which are insulated with books. (His grandfather used books as a way of quite literally blocking out the sight and sound of his nagging wife.) The boy explores these books, but disregards most of them because, to paraphrase another Morrissey lyric, they say nothing to him about his life. Then he discovers David Copperfield and reading the opening line - "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show" - a shiver runs down his spine. "It seemed not to belong to a novel at all, but to constitute a message intended solely for me."
Ohl's discovery of Dickens came much later - he was 30 - but was, he says, similarly romantic and absolute. "At the time, I was slightly disillusioned with literature. I remember perfectly the sense of wonder I felt when I read the first 50 pages of David Copperfield: a pleasure in reading that was stunning, almost carnal, and which was accompanied by a desire to write, to measure myself against Dickens, even if I knew I would never reach his level."
For a Frenchman, Dickens is a more perverse choice as guiding influence than it might seem to British readers. He is not considered a great or classic writer in France; his books are seen as old fashioned and mostly suitable for children. Ohl, however, is no ordinary Frenchman. When I ask if he's an Anglophile, he replies: "Yes, I love almost everything which is English - although I should say British, so I don't upset my Scottish friends. I prefer whisky to wine, scones to croissants, Wimbledon to Roland Garros, Hitchcock to Godard. And I think the British have a unique relationship with novels, a relationship in which the pleasure of narrative is never absent - a long way from the intellectualism which too often characterises French literature. Dickens, Stevenson, Collins, Chesterton... these are great writers, profound and complex. But that doesn't prevent them from thinking primarily of the reader's pleasure; from telling stories and making their characters live."
The one aspect of British life that Ohl doesn't appreciate, however, is the current state of the nation's bookshops. "Things are bad in France," he admits. "It's difficult for independent booksellers here. But in Britain, the situation is catastrophic."
Before lunch, I visit the bookshop where Ohl works, Librairie Georges, in Talence, near Bordeaux. It is not, as I expected, an old-fashioned, cave-like place, with books stacked in high, random piles all over the floor; indeed, it looks superficially like many modern bookshops. It is large, well lit and has a cafe at the front. Dig a little deeper, though, and the differences are obvious.
For a start, Ohl, who runs the literature section, has a considerable influence over which books (and how many copies of each) his shop buys in and displays. He chooses them not on the basis of how much the publishers pay him for shelf space (as is the case with certain UK chains) but by actually reading them.
Throughout the shop, you can see books labelled with paper of three different colours: green for "recommended", orange for "highly recommended" and purple for "coup de coeur" - the books that have most thrilled or moved or made the bookshop's workers laugh. Ohl and his four assistants also give regular "literary breakfasts", where readers come to drink coffee and eat croissants and listen while the booksellers tell them about the best books they have read in the past few months. The morning I was there, 30 people turned up - male and female, young and old - and listened for two hours, many asking questions and taking notes. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing you're likely to see in Waterstone's or Borders these days.
Naturally there is a bookshop in Mr Dick; it's a quiet, gloomy, chaotic place run by a giant alcoholic Scotsman called Krook. The shop is described always in terms of calm reverence and infinite possibilities, like a temple full of doors leading into different universes. It is hard to imagine anyone finding this kind of contentment and excitement in a modern bookshop, even one as well-run as Librairie Georges.
But there are, thankfully, other ways of falling in love with books. Ohl's father, for instance, was not a bookseller, but a factory manager. Yet every day, when he came home from work, he would, to his son's fascination, sit in a rocking chair, smoke a pipe and read a detective novel, "forgetting the whole world around for an hour. If I can give someone that pleasure, whether as an author or as a bookseller, then I feel like I've done my job."
• Sam Taylor's novel, The Island at the End of the World, is published this month by Faber

There are few things I love more than a Christmas house. And in addition to our award winning exterior decorations, the inside is all ready for the holiday as well! This is the first time we've celebrated Christmas twice in the same house, so it was kind of weird to decorate and already know where everything went. Thankfully, the addition of new Christmas cards and new ways to display them has added a little variety from last year. And Brad and I found some new stockings that we like better, so our mantle looks a little different, too.
Our tree is mostly the same with a few new additions. And my good friend, Kristen, made me a wonderful green, red, and silver ornament wreathe to hang on the wall, that features a happy Noel the Gnome in the center of it. She knows me very well.
Of course, we personalized our annual Mehaffey ornament for 2011, but we also added some fitting NYC ornaments to our collection. The adorable Mindy and Brad initials are another gift from Kristen, the other M is for Mehaffey and each couple in the family has a matching one, and the "Faith" precious moment one was a gift from my mother-in-law, encouraging us to keep our faith in the Lord as we continue on through our fertility process (so thoughtful!). I love that we add to our tree's "trimming" each year.
But wait, did you notice all of those presents??? Many of those are for other people that we love, but some of them are for Brad and me, too. Holla!! I'm dying to see what's inside them! (I'm really just anxious for some nice slippers. One of those wrapped boxes under the tree better have a pair of slippers for me! Ahem, Bradley.)
Of course, Christmas is so much more than
slippers gifts under the tree. I hope you all get a chance to spend time with your family and those whom you love this weekend!
PS. I'm praying for many of you who are especially reminded of losses over the holiday season, or may be celebrating Christmas for the first time without that certain someone who is missed dearly. My heart is with you. God is near.

PlayStation 4 Pro Review: Serious technophilia
A new console for those that want to sit on the top of the tech heap, no matter what the cost.
Sony was quite clear during its media presentation of the PlayStation 4 Pro – the current PS4 is powerful enough. It's powerful enough to run all the current and upcoming games. It's powerful enough to run virtual reality just fine. It's powerful enough to even show off the fancy visual HDR trickery Sony has just patched into the existing firmware. And it will be powerful enough right up until the release of the PlayStation 5.
So why would you want a Pro? Because it looks better. It runs faster. And, if you have an existing 4K television or monitor, it also maximises that investment when little else out there does. You certainly don't need it; you just may well want it.
Do PlayStation 4 Pro games look better?
Absolutely. Not every game sees massive enhancements, but when seen side-by-side, almost every title definitely looks more inviting. The 4K resolution, the HDR and the greater processing speed of the Pro collude to deliver a more immersive experience. There's detail where previously there was blur. There's a deeper explosion of colour where previously there was a bland merging of greys. Previously unseen smaller details now eek out from within the spaces between larger, more obvious objects.
Of course you can't really see any of that unless you have the capacity to put the old and new side-by-side, and even then it won't always be obvious. The reality is that within five minutes of playing on a PS4 Pro, the richer and more connected world becomes your new baseline for what the experience should be. It's what you demand moving on.
So it's only on a subconscious level that the benefits of the PS4 Pro, from a fidelity and detail perspective at least, will stay with you. After all, being immersed in a game is to not see any of the puzzle pieces fitting together at all.
If reading the above feels to you like cynicism and makes you feel apathetic about the PS4 Pro, then you know it's not for you.
So who should buy a PS4 Pro?
Those of you who can't possibly stand the fact that you're not playing your games on the best possible tech in existence. And I get it. I'm that guy. The kind of guy that goes and gets a 4K TV and then pointlessly watches early nineties Simpsons on it because, hey, it's 4K!
Right now I am playing all my games on a PS4 Pro and I feel great about it. Even though I know, somewhere deep inside – locked away where no one can hear it scream – there's a little Chris yelling "we could have spent that money on a new washing machine." I would rather stink. That's me. Is that you?
If that's not you, then don't do it. Don't upgrade to a PS4 Pro because, while undoubtedly a better machine, there's no knockout punch that's going to make you stand stoically in front of the harsh economic advice of your significant other and think, "yes, my cash investment was worthwhile and rewarding."
Because, as Sony wisely pointed out, the PS4 Pro isn't really for you. It's for the tip-of-the-spear tech head – the guy or girl who queues up overnight in sub-zero temperatures so that they can be first to hold up something extra shiny. For Joe Gamer, who already owns a PS4 and enjoys playing it their HD TV, the improvements are incremental.
Is PS4 Pro the best entry-level PlayStation now?
There is one caveat to what I've said above. If you have yet to buy a PlayStation 4 and you're in the market, then get the PS4 Pro. For a price difference of $110, there is enough extra juice under the hood, and enough promising games in the pipeline – including Horizon: Zero Dawn, which is purpose built for the PS4 Pro and looks stunning as a result – to see you get that value over the coming years.
Even if a 4K TV isn't in your immediate future, the value is there. I just wouldn't recommend scrapping your existing $450 unit to buy this $560 one.
What about the PlayStation 4 Pro's design?
I prefer the original design of the PS4 significantly to the new three-tiered look. The console itself isn't dramatically different in size, but its new face is less attractive. Now it looks more like a grill – I almost want to chuck a shrimp on it to see if it barbecues.
I'm also very disappointed that the Pro doesn't have at least one extra USB port. As it stands, the PSVR needs a USB permanently, and you have two Move controllers and at least one DualShock that need to be charged. Plus, potentially, an external hard-drive and an audio headset. That's a lot of USBs and a lot of hot-swapping.
It seems to me that the PS4 Pro, as a tip-of-the-spear piece of tech, should facilitate the needs of the crowd it is aiming for in this regard. As in, gamers who get a lot of hardware. More USB ports - and more at the back so we don't have to have cords dangling down the front of our entertainment units and fragging the Feng Shui - would have been much better.
Do PlayStation VR Games look better on PS4 Pro?
Yes, but not significantly. DriveClub VR is easily the ugliest of the PSVR launch games I have played and it's one of the few to be patched for Pro support. And guess what? It's still butt-ugly.
I'm getting a bit more vibe from the environment and there is more colour in the lighting, but the resolution issues I flagged in my review still abound. It's not suddenly an HTC Vive experience.
The new DualShock controller, however, plays into PSVR nicely. The light on top of the touchpad is the only significant change, but it does play into some of the games I was testing the unit with, such as The Playroom VR. Again, it's not a killer new feature, but nice all the same.
Whether the system generally runs and loads stuff faster, well, probably. I didn't notice anything to be particularly faster – and that's generally across the board, not just with PSVR. Often it feels like other issues are bottlenecking the pace of the experience, like Australia's internet speeds.
Verdict: PlayStation 4 Pro
The PS4 Pro does exactly what Sony said it would do. And to its credit, the company has never tried to suggest it is more than what it is. This is a console bred for those who crave having the latest and greatest technology. For those who already own a 4K TV, or waiting for the Pro to get one, because it's something that will bring them great personal satisfaction.
If this is you, then I say go for it. It does look better. It does run faster. And there are some killer games coming in 2017 that will really make it shine. And if you are new to the world of console gaming and want to jump on the PlayStation bandwagon, then aim high. Go the Pro.

For everyone else, happy with their PS4 and enjoying their gaming, stick with the model you have. The leap, while desirable, is effectively like adding whipped cream to the top of an already delicious cake. It tastes better at first but that extra flavour is gone in an instant, leaving you regretting the cost of those extra kilojoules.
