bfish510··on Defcon Badge Walkthrough
The winning team did a writeup on the event and how one of the sections they used automation to solve. I think it was a Vigenère cipher.

From that list, workers with disabilities are also exempt?
bfish510··on Terraform
My one gripe is the font choice on your homepage. Makes it very annoying to read.
bfish510··on eBay user data for sale?
The iterations are listed as 12000. This value is supposed to double every two years and is around 128k I believe currently.

Might be able to get an idea if you go through old SBIR's
bfish510··on 2048 for physicists
I actually think this is quite clever. It's not a tech improvement but its a domain shift that fits well. I took something from it, in a different way than other clones did.

How can you tell if a process runs as root or is run within a sandbox?
bfish510··on If The Moon Was Only 1 Pixel

A decision like this isn't made over night.
bfish510··on How I hacked Github again
He's also providing this blog post. Something he doesn't have to do and has taught me something as I try to improve myself.
bfish510··on Square thinks I don’t exist
This is the same kind of issue I've run into with T-Mobile and their adult content filter. I can't turn it off because they use financial data to find out if your 18. So because I didn't have student loans or a credit card I can't disable it without going into a store.
bfish510··on f.lux has been updated to a new version
I never thought of this! Thanks for the tip!
bfish510··on Lenovo shows new Android laptop in user manual [pdf]
This seems weird to me seeing as they could have used Chrome OS. I imagine it's because this will be marketed as a touch screen laptop though.

bfish510··on 0 A.D., an Open-Source Strategy Game
I've been playing RTS games for ages and the one thing that concerns me is balance. With so many different factions I can imagine this is going to be rather hard to do without a large amount of overlap between them. Best of luck!
bfish510··on Code Search API
People leave private keys in repos all the time. I'm pretty sure this talk goes over it pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwUJ9vpR7Vg
bfish510··on Capture the flag 2013
I've been reading though Hacking: The Art of Exploitation. So far I'm enjoying it.
bfish510··on Dear YC companies, I responded. You could do the same.
Even just an automated response to know it arrived to the correct place. Treat the application like TCP rather than UDP.
bfish510··on Show HN: CommitQ – Programming language-aware Git repository hosting

It should have some kind of :D emoticon and a question along the lines of "So what's next?"
bfish510··on 256 CSS Classes Can Override an #id
The issue isn't in the base case but derived cases to determine which overrides the other. A div with an id that has another div with a class attribute should override anything done on just the div with the id? But when does the specificity of any chain of just classes become more specific than an id. That is why they have weights.
