Our investigation focuses on Microsoft proprietary protocols with the help of a network trace and references. The steps that will be covered are specific to authentication view (MS-Chapv2), key derivation for encryption and the algorithm of the compression feature (MPPE/MPPC). Finally, to complete our approach, we will illustrate weaknesses through a new forensic tool dedicated to these protocols. Mainline : Details on MSChap-v2 : The first chapter aims to understand how the authentication protocol works ; Overview of MPPE protocol : We explain briefly the encryption protocol ; Overview of MPPC protocol : Here, we take a look at the compression feature ; Decipher MPPE by breaking MSCHAP-v2 : We decipher MPPE protocol with the help of MSChap-v2; ...

If you want to learn a thing or two about color, why not look to the true masters whose artistic work has stood the test of time? Great painters almost always possess a keen understanding of color that is truly impressive when you stop to appreciate it. » Joshua Johnson | designshack.net
The world of game theory is currently on fire. In May, Freeman Dyson at Princeton University and William Press at the University of Texas announced that they had discovered a previously unknown strategy for the game of prisoner’s dilemma which guarantees one player a better outcome than the other. That’s a monumental surprise. Theorists have studied Prisoner’s Dilemma for decades, using it as a model for the emergence of co-operation in nature. This work has had a profound impact on disciplines such as economics, evolutionary biology and, of course, game theory itself. The new result will have impact in all these areas and more. ...
El pasado martes, Mercadona retiró 11 productos cosméticos después de una evaluación realizada por la Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios. Ayer, esa misma agencia publicó un comunicado explicando que el problema era de orden administrativo y no existía ningún peligro para la salud de los consumidores. Me parece un buen momento para que hablemos del verdadero problema de fondo. La industria cosmética se sostiene sobre una mentira: hacer creer a sus clientes que la eficacia de sus productos tiene una base científica. ...
Fellow Linuxers, This is just to announce the imminent completion of a brand-new Linux release, which I’m calling the Debian Linux Release. This is a release that I have put together basically from scratch; in other words, I didn’t simply make some changes to SLS and call it a new release. I was inspired to put together this release after running SLS and generally being dissatisfied with much of it, and after much altering of SLS I decided that it would be easier to start from scratch. The base system is now virtually complete (though I’m still looking around to make sure that I grabbed the most recent sources for everything), and I’d like to get some feedback before I add the ”fancy” stuff. ...
I run FreeBSD on my computers. A lot of my friends run Linux, or at least one of the distributions of it. Naturally, then, we agree that a Unix-style operating system is the right choice, but we disagree on which to use. It’s been my impression that the BSD communit{y,ies}, in general, understand Linux far better than the Linux communit{y,ies} understand BSD. I have a few theories on why that is, but that’s not really relevant. I think a lot of Linux people get turned off BSD because they don’t really understand how and why it’s put together. Thus, this rant; as a BSD person, I want to try to explain how BSD works in a way that Linux people can absorb. ...

Much of this data was entered by hand (obtained by contacting past conference organizers, retrieving cached conference websites, and searching CVs) so please email me if you notice any errors or omissions: bestpaper-AT-jeffhuang.com. I tried to collect best paper awards from the top-tier conferences in each area, but some conferences do not have such an award (e.g. SIGGRAPH, CAV). ”Distinguished paper award” and ”outstanding paper award” are included but not ”best student paper” (e.g. NIPS) or ”best 10-year old paper” (e.g. POPL) ...
