jwcrux··on LinkedIn Neutered Rapportive Today
It looks like only the front end has changed. I have a Python library (github.com/jordan-wright/rapportive) that directly calls the backend API, and it still works fine.
jwcrux··on Ask HN: What projects are you working on?
I'm finishing up an open source phishing framework called gophish (http://github.com/jordan-wright/gophish). It's written in golang and angular, and has a full REST api and web frontend.
jwcrux··on Apple Introduces iOS 8
I'm personally excited about the possibility of creating an "Emergency Card" (http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/health/) that's accessible from the lock screen.

Currently, I use a screen-shotted contact screen as my wallpaper for my ICE contact - just in case the worst were to happen. This will let me put more information, and might even let me have a wallpaper again!

jwcrux··on Building a Web Server in Go: Handling User Input
The sql package in the standard library has support for parameterized queries, so you should use those instead of some random function to check for injections.
jwcrux··on The Scraping Problem and Ethics
As a somewhat unrelated side note, I'm actually working on providing a free API written in Golang for CVE and CVSS entries. You can find it here: https://github.com/jordan-wright/cve-api
jwcrux··on Fishing for Hackers: Analysis of a Linux Server Attack
I don't think it measures the inbound/outbound bandwidth - especially over UDP. It's more of an SSH emulator (so to speak) with everything being logged (commands, files, etc.).

In addition, there are quite a few good visualization tools to show the logs made by kippo. You can save them to a db, plot them nicely, etc.

jwcrux··on Fishing for Hackers: Analysis of a Linux Server Attack
Great question. I had this exact same problem before I came across/contributed to a fork of kippo by micheloosterhof that implemented SCP (and more).

Check it out here: https://github.com/micheloosterhof/kippo

jwcrux··on Fishing for Hackers: Analysis of a Linux Server Attack
OP may also benefit from the use of an SSH honeypot. I use kippo (https://code.google.com/p/kippo/) with great success. It tracks all commands run, as well as keeps copies of all downloaded files.

In addition, it limits available commands to a certain predefined subset, allowing the host to prevent damage caused (e.g. a DoS attack in this case) by the system being compromised.

jwcrux··on Atom Is Now Open Source
This is fantastic news!

> As Emacs and Vim have demonstrated over the past three decades, if you want to build a thriving, long-lasting community around a text editor, it has to be open source.

I agree whole-heartedly. In fact, I don't believe that editors like Sublime Text would have such a large following if not for the extended "free-trial" functionality.

It will be exciting to see where this project goes, and I think open-sourcing the rest of the editor was a great move.

jwcrux··on OpenSSH sshd – memory leak
This is garbage. Probably the same guys behind this other one recently (http://pastebin.com/qPxR9BRv).

One of the members of the full disclosure mailing list outed these guys here: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Apr/292

Only this time - they got smart:

jwcrux··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
Don't the stack exchange sites already serve for something like this?
jwcrux··on Show HN: Postman – A command-line utility for batch-sending email
I appreciate you giving it a shot. If the issue is with my package, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll jump on it ASAP. Happy to help any way I can!
jwcrux··on Show HN: Postman – A command-line utility for batch-sending email
Neat! Shamelessly, I'd like to mention that you may also consider using the email (https://github.com/jordan-wright/email) package I wrote to serve your backend. I've worked to make it as simple and robust as possible. However, if you're happy with gophermail, by all means use it! Both are great packages, imo.
jwcrux··on Show HN: One-click citations for your essays
Same here- I wonder what functionality this has over easybib.
jwcrux··on DSploit Scam and the Guy Who Made Our Small Income Gone Forever
Out of curiosity - how did you come across that FB account? I'm showing a different account registered to that email address.
jwcrux··on Set up your private Git hosting with Gogs
Somewhat off-topic, but I notice they are using xorm as their golang ORM. Anyone have experience with this? I use gorm, and I wonder how xorm compares.
jwcrux··on GoDaddy Released My Personal Information to a Spammer Troll
This is absolutely the case. I think the original comment missed the assumption that the spammer already has the email addresses they spammed.
jwcrux··on Hackathon Starter 2.0 – Boilerplate for Node.js web application
I'd also like to shamelessly plug my list of boilerplate templates (https://github.com/jordan-wright/boilerplate/blob/master/boi...) for as many languages I could find. Feel free to send a pull request if you know of one I didn't include!
jwcrux··on Practical Cryptography With Go
Just curious - what does this have that Gist doesn't, with the exception of creating an account?
jwcrux··on How I Hacked a Router
Ah, gotcha. You're saying that you sent an email with a valid envelope sender from your domain, with only a spoofed From: address, and gmail sent it back. If so, nice!
jwcrux··on How I Hacked a Router
Sure - SPF may very well only check the envelope sender, but isn't that usually plenty? If you can't spoof the Linkedin envelope sender, and the mail goes to SPAM, who cares if the From: address is spoofed? The user likely won't see it anyway.
jwcrux··on A Tool Will Let You See Anyone’s Email Address on LinkedIn
I believe you are correct: http://blog.sellhack.com/post/75825344472/why-we-built-sellh...
jwcrux··on WPA2 wireless security cracked
Anyone have the full text of the paper?
jwcrux··on Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End
That's great to hear - thanks for doing so.
jwcrux··on Massive Twitter Botnet
> as there were a number of "following nobody, and nobody follows" accounts

This is actually very common. Twitter recently took down a large number of bots and published a paper about their classification. One of the attributes of a Twitter bot account is it's reputation. By remaining idle, it can establish a reputation within Twitter's spam detection system, becoming more valuable when sold.

Edit: HUZZAH! After Googling like crazy, I found the paper: http://www.imchris.org/research/thomas_sec13.pdf

jwcrux··on Popcorn Time – Watch torrent movies instantly
Many of the movies people torrent are new releases so that they don't have to pay the high price of going to the cinema to see it.
jwcrux··on Vagrant 1.5 and Vagrant Cloud
That's what I was thinking.. Found the JS file, Googled for AddTerminalShell to no avail. Didn't know if anyone else could recognize it or if it was custom.

Thanks for the help, though!

jwcrux··on Vagrant 1.5 and Vagrant Cloud
Does anyone know what terminal emulator they're using for vagrantcloud.com? It looks slick, I just can't identify it.
jwcrux··on Ask HN: What side projects are you working on?
I'm currently working on an open-source phishing toolkit written in Go and AngularJS called gophish (http://github.com/jordan-wright/gophish).
jwcrux··on GitHub RCE by Environment variable injection Bug Bounty writeup
Any idea what the bounty was for this finding?
