Fair enough, Adrian. Shame it had to come down though, it was an amazing experience seeing all over the world with a few minutes browsing. Thanks for keeping it up as long as you did.

Adrian,

It is pity that this crap happened with reporters.
On the time/resources base - I think if you will just add button "donate" you will be surprised how many people appreciate what you are doing.

Just my 5c

Here's hoping the outage is merely momentary.

I made some changes to the filtering system. Can you point out a filter that isn't working?

Re: All The Webcams (Part 3)

fage eater — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:47:24 -0000

I think the filters are broken...

Hi Tom,

Whilst *signing* with a private key is a perfectly valid and secure way to use public key cryptography, the original quote from IBM dealt specifically with *encryption*, and I'm talking specifically about encryption in my comment. To equate encryption and signing is a mistake; they are very different.

Good spot on the one time pad though; it's a bit of a nit-pick, but you are technically correct...the best kind of correct. I'll amend the article.

Thanks for reading!

Tom Charmers — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:15:15 -0000

Two inconsistencies:
"This explanation of how public key cryptography works is completely backwards, quite literally. "
This is a valid way of using PKC. PKC does not necessarily mean encryption so that only one person can read it. In this case, by doing things 'backwards' it allows you to verify who the original creator of the ciphertext was (holder of the priv key), as opposed to encrypting data so only one person (holder of priv key) can read it.

" In fact, nothing is impossible to crack with a brute-force attack"
There is an encryption scheme called the 'one time pad' which is proven to be mathematically impossible to crack IF implemented correctly.

Yeah, I'm working on that. I think there was a bug in my update script which has marked a load of the cameras as up when they are either 404 or 401 errors.

You went from 600 TrendNet cams to 3200 overnight but almost all of them are broken, forcing you to sift through endless blank pages for to see anything.

Thanks for the update :)

Really great work. One thought that may be too resource-intensive: periodically grab two frames of the cams, measure the similarity between them, and then allow sorting based on the image difference. That will help prioritize cams with very little activity in them vs. cams with lots of visual activity.

Thanks for the write up. Nicely enlightening, I have had experience at trying to debug those crappy java applets and feel your pain. :)

I think you're on to something, very, very worthwhile. We desperately need the ability to see through the lenses of public cameras in places like underground parking garages. I wish I had a screen saver that would let me keep an eye on the interior of local businesses like banks and family owned grocery stores.

I have reported this for Paypal last year and now they have it on their website that they do not cover this one too.

Being one of those affected, I appreciate your emphasis on choosing great passwords. I just wish Yahoo! would employ the same diligence.

Personally for password management I pick keepass 2 (open source, cross platform, aes encrypted database) on dropbox and keep the key files offline

The video is absolutely worth watching. Not a waste of time at all. I certainly learned something about Cryptography.
