You don't happen to have recordings of it, by chance?

Neat. I wonder how many "attackers" that scan ssh etc. could be identified by this.

There is no Flash Player for iOS. I know Chrome for Desktop bundles Flash, but Chrome for iOS does not (at least as far as i know).

Re:Deploying Go servers with Docker on Friday September 26, 2014 @07:55PM (#8375509)
They demonstrated an easy way to deploy a Go application utilizing Docker ( https://docker.com/ ) and Google App Engine. The Docker Engine container comprises just the application and its dependencies. It runs as an isolated process in userspace on the host operating system, sharing the kernel with other containers. Thus, it enjoys the resource isolation and allocation benefits of VMs but is much more portable and efficient.

If you take a look at the example's source at: https://github.com/golang/example/blob/master/outyet/main.go

You will notice, that they import "net/http"

Which implements an http server - that's all, see here for more details: https://godoc.org/net/http It is not necessary, nevertheless possible, to use something like nginx or apache in front of a Go web application.

Re:Go 1.3.2 is released – fixes tls security bug on Friday September 26, 2014 @03:49AM (#8371762)
Andre Gerrand:

  Hi gophers,
  
  We've just released Go version 1.3.2, a minor point release.
  
  This release includes bug fixes to cgo and the crypto/tls package.
      https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.3.minor

  The crpyto/tls fix addresses a security bug that affects programs that use crypto/tls to implement a TLS server from Go 1.1 onwards. If the server enables TLS client authentication using certificates (this is rare) and explicitly sets SessionTicketsDisabled to true in the tls.Config, then a malicious client can falsely assert ownership of any client certificate it wishes. This issue was discovered internally and there is no evidence of exploitation.
  
  You can download binary and source distributions from the Go web site:
      https://golang.org/dl/

  To compile from source using a Mercurial checkout, update to the release with "hg update release" and build as usual.

  Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

  Andrew

I recently installed the CE package and it was a good experience overall. I had put it in a VM though, because it didn't like my postgresql installation ( https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt ).
Re:Know How To Roll Your SSL Certificates on Wednesday August 13, 2014 @12:47PM (#8173792)

    Just make a monthly recurring entry in your calendar that says "Check SSL certificates". 
If you rely on your calendar, it's simpler to create an entry in your calender for changing the certificate a few days prior to its expiration date. Monthly reminders will be ignored too easily.
