I'll send my PhD dissertation in a week or so, where I present 3 years of work on models and protocols for the security of wireless ad-hoc networks. I do not have any industrial experience yet, but three years of doctoral studies plus a total of a year of various internships make up for it. I have worked on routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, a model to analyze network-based intrusion detection systems based on their inputs, definitions of the very meaning of routing security, and before this, some work on the infrastructure for computing grids.

Asides from ad-hoc networks, I have kept up-to-date with other forms of security, through CTFs (Matasano's are awesome, by the way). I am still a developer at heart who loves to learn new things and make systems elegant. I also taught the basics of algorithmics and C at my university for the last three years. Although I am mostly using Perl these days, I do have some experience with Python, Ruby, C++, and Ada.

I am still unsure of what the next steps are for me. I have cultivated a strong variety of skills, and I would like to cultivate that variety and keep learning new things. If this rings true to you, and there is a need for people like me in your company, drop me a line !

And for extra effect, you can also include your own blink tag or javascript : http://foaas.herokuapp.com/donut/bob%3Cscript%3EsetTimeout%2...

They do not mention sources, but I'd say it is some sort of open secret which is known by a lot of journalists. They mention that this officially does not exist, and from off-the-record talks, it does not exist because it's "secret défense".

Top500 computers could have done this sort of attack when CPU and/or GPU mining was all the hype, but now with FPGAs and ASICs, the hardware required to have an impact is too specialized for any sort of general-purpose computing.

I'm wondering about the security of the generators and hashes you use. SHA-256 is to my knowledge fine, however the Mersenne twister used by Python isn't (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_twister, although there may be modifications in Python). You have little plaintext, so I can't really find anything obvious, but given the nature of the site, you may want to use something cryptographically secure.

4chan is not only /b/ and porn, there are surprisingly good SFW boards too. Well, maybe "SFW" is pushing it a bit, since the tone is still 4-chaney, but then look around the technology, cooking, or traditionnal games boards: you'll be surprised.

In the FAQ :

> Can I run a server from my home? > > Google Fiber is intended as a residential Internet service. Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server.

This scares me.
