Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
If I was blogging about auto security back then, here’s what I’d be saying.
– when parking, turn off the ignition and take the key with you
– when returning to your parked car, make sure both your licence plate and VIN number plate aren’t missing
– remember to add a gas line shut-off lock
– they had car alarms back then

Watched the fight on Saturday night, and was so surprised to learn this:
The second largest ever was this one in Sweden, 30,000 people.
That’s a massive difference between 1st and 2nd, and interesting it was us Canadians who are so into it EH.
This is a 2015 McLaren 650S Spider
In my dream though, I’m happy with any McLaren model.
So many new blog headers.
This model has ready… $100,000 IN OPTIONS.
Mine would have the least features, in fact, I’d pay more to have things deleted.
And not covered in carbon fiber.
I like them best because they’re subtle.
Ferrari is so flash, Lambo too, this is more understated.
Engine Specs
A twin turbo V8 outputting 641 hp and 500 lb.ft.
7-speed automatic
Top speed – 333 km/h
0 – 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds
Phft.
Below is one of my best pics in a while.
Take a common password – 8 characters in length, composed of 1 word, 1 numbers and 1 punctuation mark:
Using a script (a program that automatically executes tasks instead of a human), the script starts to guess all possible 8-character password combinations. This will take about 3 days.
This is a brute force attack – very little elegance, just plain old grinding it out.
Using a dictionary attack, again the attacker runs a script, but this time instead of random guessing, dictionaries of words are tried first, specifically, the most common password words are tried.
Choose 3 obscure words, string them into a sentence separated by punctuation and numbers.

Kind’ve clever eh: a real-sounding URL, “Support for Apple”, and a toll-free number, how nice for someone else to foot the bill.
Pop-up window appears > you call the number > whomever answers is skilled with words > you’re tricked (social engineered) into doing something stupid, like providing a password or downloading a malicious file.
Never call. This will never happen.
