I need a good explanation- and I don’t think this site has one.
As for my Web app, users (and I) will need to upload and transfer data- and I know the basic uses of SFTP and FTPS but I need a good security focused answer, please.
P.S. I ad… Continue reading What is the difference between SFTP and FTPS? [duplicate]
Let’s say I had access to someone’s computer, and it is connected to the internet- but I don’t have permissions to delete registry or system files, and I don’t care about control.
I just want to destroy it with malware I can get from the i… Continue reading What is the easiest way to get a virus? [closed]
So a while ago I was talking to a guy who was a high-up security officer for a big bank, and he told me something interesting. He told me (and this isn’t private information or anything,) that after about five incorrect guesses of the pas… Continue reading At what point does data wipe after incorrect password attempts become reasonable?

The main way to ‘break’ hashes is to brute force them.
So, while sometimes it is hard to tell, most of the… Continue reading Is this idea for secure password storage a good one?
What is a good example of a use for security through obscurity?
I have tried looking this up but I still don’t really get it…

Ok- so you all probably know that a hash is used to help secure a stored password in a database, if it was stolen.
When a user logs in, and enters a password, it gets hashed, and then matched to a hash in the name of the user that tried to… Continue reading How do databases/companies change their hashing algorithm? [duplicate]
I’ve been monitoring my server’s SSH logs and noticed a steady stream of login attempts from unknown IP addresses, mostly from different countries.
Heaps and heaps of account names are tried, and with some quick server stats I’d say, at le… Continue reading Should I be worried about unusual SSH login attempts from unknown IP addresses?
