Google and Facebook are literally embedded into almost every website. You have a unique ID with both, that you don't know about - even if you do not have accounts with either. It is effortlessly easy for Google and Facebook scripts to track your online behavior. They constantly add this newfound info to your profile under your ID, and you see the results.

I know this. This is why I destroy my cookies and block their scripts. Am I doing something wrong because they seem to be able to follow me even with these precautions in place?
>>
Removing cookies isn't enough. You have to actively hunt and block their trackers. You need to use a content blocker (adblock, ublock, noscript, etc.) for this.

Keep all Google domains blocked, enable them temporarily when you really need them, then re-block them afterwards again. Never unblock Facebook. Using Instagram makes you fail this requirement, as it links deeply to these services.

My little sister just told me that she hated that popcorntime wasn't free anymore. I told her that she had downloaded a virus, that she should reinstall everything and that I could help her. She told me to fuck off, she was probably thinking that i was plotting to steal her nudes.

She's running Windows 8, should I try again to convince her that she has put a botnet inside a botnet and that she should install GNU/Linux on it, or should I let her learn it the hard way?

Why would her default reaction be that she thought you were gonna steal her nude? You got caught before?

Is it dangerous to change the file permissions on a folder on your website to 777?
9 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
nope.
Wanna link me to your server?
>>
>>56663594
Security is an interesting beast because some things aren't dangerous alone but when mixed with another mistake become awful security holes.

Changing a folder to be 777 means anyone can write to the folder IF they have some way to tell the server that they want to write to it. So if you only access the server locally (via a keyboard and monitor) and there's no SSH or FTP server running, odds are no one will be able to write files even though the folder says they have permission to.

But if you install an FTP server, many FTP servers have an "anonymous" user enabled by default. The anonymous user has no permissions EXCEPT those granted to "everyone". Meaning someone could then log into your server and start editing and writing files.

You might think "that's not so bad... it's a subdirectory on my web server where I'm temporarily storing uploads -- it's not like they can edit my site". But what if your site has PHP enabled? They could then upload a PHP script and run it, and that would run under the Apache user: not the anonymous user. Now with a cleverly crafted script they can edit your website.

Then you may wonder why someone would even want to edit your website. Well suppose they inject javascript onto the page that starts popping up ads like crazy. They don't care if your SEO rank falls: they just got paid for thousands of ad views.

For BEST security, start with 400 (you can read but not write or execute) and add permissions only as necessary.

As mentioned by >>56663741 it can be a problem mixed with other issues.

A long time ago I had a wordpress install compromised. The way the guy got in was by exploiting an extension to make modifications to the site theme on disk. If that folder hadn't been user-writable, the guy wouldn't have been able to do anything.

Pascal series is surprising in that the laptop models achieve very similar results to the desktop models.

Look for something with the 1060. It's perfectly capable without breaking the bank or carrying around a hilariously large laptop.

As soon as he steps his foot on American soil, he will have a "car accident".

There are far worse people out there, who have broken many laws, and have caused deaths. One of them is currently running for president.

Is it true that it require either SIM or WiFi?
What are my options if I want to track something? over large distance like 10-20 miles?

GPS itself doesn't require either but for normals to transmit the current GPS data you need sim or wifi
