Is it company policy to not respond to most applications? I've applied several times and never got back a rejection..


Trick doesn't work on Firefox 52: original cursor is visible as well as the fake one Works on Chrome, though


I had the opposite experience. Worked perfect in FF 52, but I was able to see the original cursor in Chrome. Neat effect overall!

There are so many potential hidden channels! If 2nd can see what the 1st one guessed -- that's also easy Or if they just agree on the timing of the guess..


I've mentioned an idea in Phoronix forums[1] yesterday: Since most users won't bother comparing the entire signature (also applies to comparing md5/sha*/etc. hashes), it might be a good idea to map & display blocks of the sig as English words to the user.

Care must be taken to avoid similar-looking and similar-sounding (homophonic) words, but since there are >150k words in Oxford English Dictionary, so it should be possible to get 65k usable ones.

In fact, someone pointed out something like this already exists to a degree: [2]

A contrived visual example (suppose someone matches first two and last two segments!):

  Fake Linus Torvalds: ABAF 11C6 32D8 69AE E438 F74B 6211 AA3B 0041 1886
  Real Linus Torvalds: ABAF 11C6 5A29 70B1 30AB E3C4 79BE 3E43 0041 1886
With a word salad approach:

  Fake Linus Torvalds: lopsided crate threatening hydrant peep bumpy art work earth spurious
  Real Linus Torvalds: lopsided crate symptomatic equal kaput chunky kettle include earth spurious
Even with an even-spaced font, it's hard to confuse the two

The pgp word list was created for exactly this purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGP_word_list


Awesome shots! Because of the particular angles & distances, it looks like the moon is almost grinding against us! Of course, that's just an optical illusion; the actual distance & proportions are more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_distance_(astronomy)#/me...


The moon is about 1/4 as far away from earth as the camera is. The camera always sees the sunny side of the earth - neat trick! http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/


Wait, I thought wifi had frequency hopping built-in..?


You were thinking about Bluetooth, it does adaptive frequency hopping.

Commonly used wifi doesn't frequency hop in the conventional sense.


That can't be it, SNI certs had been supported for a long time already


That's what I thought as well. The title and commit message doesn't say much else though.

EDIT: Ah the other comment on this thread explains it. It's not multiple certs for different domains, it's multiple certs for different types of keys.
